03:00
Oh hey, we're on the same team again! :P
Yay! :)
Mission (2)
I think you need the 'Red:' in front.
!who
We are currently waiting for a clue from the Red spymaster.
Red: Mission (2)
SPY is Red
Red currently has 2 guesses remaining.
Possibilities: LIFE STRIKE NIGHT PISTOL, but perhaps it's the spy theme of the game that has me thinking all James Bond-like.
STRIKE
STRIKE is Blue
I hope you feel okay about that.
It is now Blue's turn
03:09
Oh geez, I thought STRIKE was red too.
Blue: SHIP (4)
I was just about to ping you lol.
DECK
DECK is Blue
BERMUDA is Blue
03:17
Really hope TRIANGLE is too lol. Also considering WHALE.
TRIANGLE
Shiro is sloooow today
*waits with bated breath*
TRIANGLE is Red
Seriously?
It is now Red's turn
NOOOO
Okay, I'll try WHALE after the next turn's words. :P
GREECE is another possibility.
OH! Completely overlooked WAKE.
Red: Money (1)
03:24
SHOP seems the obvious choice, though ROULETTE could be an option. Clue is for one.
SHOP
SHOP is Red
Blue: Duck-Billed (2)
03:27
PLATYPUS is Blue
ohhhh clever!
CHICK
...THAT BETTER BE BLUE I TELL YA!
Hulloh?
...Shiro...
!who
CHICK is Red
Oh, dear.
It is now Red's turn
03:29
NOOOOOOOO
Wow, I'm making way different connections than you're intending lol.
Clever. Too clever.
yeah, too clever for my own good
That connection was very clever, I'll give you that
03:30
I was looking around the board "going what the heck could it be" and saw that...
I think it's MOUTH. That's on my list to try.
WAKE, WHALE, MOUTH
Red: Animal (2)
One animal graces the board.
Let's go with...
WHALE
WHALE is Red
LIFE is Red
Thanks for preventing me from guessing WHALE lol.
Any time, friend.
Now, LIFE could have been the second mission. I'll play as though it was unless this game goes down to the wire.
[pass]
Blue: Casino (unlimited)
03:39
hmm
I wonder if you know how much of a fan of Sonic games I am...
ROULETTE
ROULETTE is Blue
WAKE is Blue
Two left.
I still have one for duck-billed and one for ship.
!board
03:42
GREECE
Shiro's taking a while to respond. Must be red or yellow.
Lol
Astute observation
Hopefully not the assassin... :grimacing:
GREECE is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
there we go, yellow
@El'endiaStarman A red there would have been nearly as bad as an assassin
03:44
... :(
Red: Cool (1)
FAN and NIGHT come to mind. One is a clear winner.
FAN
FAN is Red
It must be done. Please not another assassin.
PISTOL
PISTOL is Red
You are out of guesses. It is now Blue's turn
03:49
is it D12 time again?
d10 this time
Should have been d10 last game as well, but I miscounted.
Alright c'mon DJ, I believe in you!
@Khuldraesethna'Barya d11, actually.
03:50
I don't even want to know what kind of shape that is
Blue: Babel (1)
Skipping one, though, so d10 would suffice.
TOWER is Blue
ugh
oh.
AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Red's turn
03:51
shoot
I'm pretty sure that's where the duck-billed platypus lives. :(
As am I. But I missed it too until your guess.
GG. You're sure to get the last one.
I've a pretty good idea about that last one. But I was wrong about ship...
03:52
Red: Ancient (1)
Last duck-bill is MOUTH, I'd wager.
AZTEC
AZTEC is Red
BLUE: ROULETTE TOWER PLATYPUS STRIKE DECK WAKE MOUTH BERMUDA
RED: AZTEC LIFE FAN TRIANGLE SHOP CHICK SPY WHALE PISTOL
BLACK: THUMB

Bermuda and Triangle. yay.

Lightning for strike and tower?

Snoring for wake and mouth? (wake is the opposite of snoring, but it's related to sleep :P)

Bill for Platypus, roulette, maybe mouth? An interesting thought Might hit shop.

Punching someone can be called "Decking" or "striking" them.

Radio for tower and Bermuda? Or maybe navigation? That might hit train. Lighthouse? That hits night.
gg
gtg
Life, chick and whale might work together, might guess platypus though
Spy and pistol might also work

I'm thinking Mission (2) for spy and pistol, hopefully they don't guess night

He guessed spy, that's good

nooo, not STRIKE, oh well, hopefully I can make it back with life, chick and whale
Probably my fault on that one

Blue guessing platypus would be to my advantage (it would be better if they guessed wrong, of course)

Red clued ship, probably going for deck and bermuda, don’t know what the other two could be
03:53
I was convinced the last ship was the verb, so TRAIN.
You said Wake > Whale > Mouth, so I assumed mouth was up next if whale got cleared.
I even thought of doing Babel (2), but I thought that might hint towards tablet
@Khuldraesethna'Barya Ship was tower, which is not a great connection.
@DJMcMayhem Ooooh, you're right, it had to do with languages.
15 mins ago, by El'endia Starman
I wonder if you know how much of a fan of Sonic games I am...
@DJMcMayhem Casino Night Zone
I was also hoping that Casino would hint Tower, but since I couldn't give a number you thought it was 1.
But I figured you didn't know me that well. :)
@El'endiaStarman Ah, I was wondering
GG though, really down to the wire there.
I was convinced we had it for the last 3 rounds
03:56
I was convinced until Shiro processed that Australia guess.
It amuses me how this particular game showed me that I'm not that great on my own because I'm too good at thinking of connections. :P
Like, I came up with CHICK and AUSTRALIA for "duck-billed".
And yes, platypuses are only found in Australia.
If I were not so sure you had it in the bag, I wouldn't have let the dice decide. Would have been your win, most likely.
Game hinged on PISTOL
Gonna turn in. Been a pleasure, y'all.
same, it's been fun
\o
04:27
> I was convinced we had it for the last 3 rounds
"Ignorance is bliss" if you read my log
 
14 hours later…
18:43
@Khuldraesethna'Barya I wonder why Shiro's been having that delay problem recently. I've never seen it before the past few days.
Shiro also has some weird timing issue with pins
The pins issue has been known for years
I just started playing regularly, so I guess I just never noticed it until recently
 
3 hours later…
21:25
O/
I'm currently at work but should be heading home in an hour or so.
@john @Rubiks
I should be good for a relatively short one, if we can make it < 1 hour
21:28
hopefully it'll be short
We can aim for a short one, I'd prefer that too
!newgame user58, El'endia Starman, DJMcMayhem, Rubiksmoose, ElizB
RED: user58, ElizB
BLUE: El'endia Starman, Rubiksmoose, DJMcMayhem

Please save the seed somewhere! As a last resort if any of you happens to forget the seed, you can type !recall to get a new link.
BLUE goes first!
long names vs short names lol
21:29
I wonder if a Blue player should switch teams because ElizB is new here?
@El'endiaStarman Three in a row :D
Might not be a bad plan
!leave
BLUE: El'endia Starman, DJMcMayhem
21:30
!joinred
RED: user58, ElizB, Rubiksmoose
Blue first, huh. Alright, gimme a moment...
I've got 30 minutes before I take my sister home from the counselor, then gotta do errands and grocery shopping so @El'endiaStarman probably will beat me home
Blue: CATHEDRAL (2)
Cross looks good
Also Mass
And maybe grace, but that's the least favorite of the 3
21:36
Yeah, I agree on all three
@DJMcMayhem (You're on your own now, just in case you hadn't noticed.)
@ElizB You're on the red team though, so you probably don't want to help me ;)
@ElizB You're on the other team!
@user58 Yep, I just like to think out loud. (Which hopefully helps the SM too)
CROSS
Haha of course I goof up lol thanks for catching me
21:37
!who
....one of those odd Shiro hiccups again?
CROSS is blue.
Now I'm paranoid since shiro is usually slower on wrong guesses
OK, phew
CROSS is Blue
Blue currently has 2 guesses remaining.
CROSS is Green
MASS is Blue
21:39
...I'd ping ffao about this, but he hasn't been around in quite a while
[pass]
@Rubiksmoose Don't make me cross with you! :P
@El'endiaStarman 0:)
Red: animal (4)
21:39
BUCK
PENGUIN
HAWK
Horseshoe?
That is one that stood out to me as well.
Maybe TRACK though
horseshoe works both for horse and a type of crab
Shall we input the others first though and then decide?
Hmmmm track isn't good I think
Yeah let's do that
BUCK is red.
21:42
BUCK is Red
PENGUIN
PENGUIN is Red
HAWK is Red
OK, so you like horseshoe better than track?
I can see that.
21:42
!board
Let's do horseshoe
I think they would have clued something else if they meant track.
Yeah
ok let's do that
21:43
Horseshoe
HORSESHOE is Red
very nice
Ooof, making me work hard here.
[pass]
21:44
Awesome
afk for a couple.
I probably only have 5 minutes left
Blue: TEXAS (2)
State is pretty obvious
Star seems good
STATE
STATE is Blue
21:46
STAR
STAR is Blue
Hi John Dvorak, you'll be joining team blue!
[pass]
BLUE: El'endia Starman, DJMcMayhem, John Dvorak
21:47
@JohnDvorak Team palindrome (DJ&JD)
Red: punch (2)
Alright hmm
Sock is a possible.
sock can mean punch
deck as well
21:49
Oh! I didn't think of that haha
I think those two are good
Sock
SOCK is Blue
I feel for you.
It is now Blue's turn
dangit
Ugh
Oh
I would have guessed sock as well
21:51
!join
Hi PiIsNot3, you'll be joining team red!
RED: user58, ElizB, Rubiksmoose, PiIsNot3
I think this is the third game I've played here where "sock" was an incorrect guess for a punch-adjacent clue lol
Haha
Last game I played, I was considering "punch" for deck and strike, but then strike got guessed by the opposite team
Blue: KIDA (2)
21:52
@Rubiksmoose Same deal with SLUG too, it almost always gets mentioned whenever punching comes up
But it is almost never the right one
D: I'm not sure what that means
No idea what that is
@DJMcMayhem Who’s D? And why are you role playing as them?
Haha not helping ya there I know the answers :p
Do we have left-over clues?
21:53
Nope
Is it possible that's a name?
can't confirm
Is that a character from the movie Atlantis?
I've never seen that movie
It's not a Czech name for sure
OK, that's good to know
maaybe a Polish name?
21:56
Yeah, potentially
Alright, so we don't want to guess Deck/Track. We probably don't want to guess Czech
That still leaves a lot open. What would you think about going for Atlantis?
Should there be an exception to the “no Google” rule if nobody playing (except for the clue setter of course) knows what it is?
Or maybe Pole
Pole is tempting
@PiIsNot3 Nah.
hold on, though
21:57
@PiIsNot3 It sucks right now, but I like that rule in general
It's all-caps. Is that standard for our cluer, or does it indicate an acronym?
...I mean, maybe if both SMs agree, but it's always going to be other SM's interest to vote against it, soooo.
@JohnDvorak Both of the previous clues were all caps
OK, just wondering
Tempting, then
21:58
I used to always caps every clue until I realized that indicating an acronym could be very useful sometimes
I agree with the "no Google" rule. It's on me as an SM to anticipate what clues my team will be able to guess/understand. Sometimes we just anticipate wrong.
It might potentially be a famous politician, but head/pole sound like it should have a better clue
I gotta go. Afk until probably 7 ish
