Title: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on December 16, 2019, 10:22:14 am
For there is clearly interest.

People who aren't already in the other game can take precedent here.

Is there anyone else who we think might be interested? We could message them.

I'd play here too, but I'd definitely defer if you find someone else (since I'm already in Codenames VIII).

Let's start the game up!

The blue team is Eevee, Awaclus and ADK, and EFHW, scola and Didds are team red.

What's the syntax for the forum dice app? (for randomizing the first spymasters)

Is there a post somewhere that explains the etiquette on f.ds? I have played Codenames like twice so I know the basic idea, but I don't necessarily remember what kind of stuff was considered acceptable or whether there's variations depending on the group.

We are still kind of in the process of figuring it out. In VIII we've done open discussion between the guessers and locked in answers in bold. You can read a sample of that game to get an idea if it helps.

For leech tick, water, disease*, slug/scorpion come to mind. Tick for also being a parasitic creature that sucks blood, water for being the general habitat for leeches, disease for cupping therapy used to cure whatever in times of the yore, slug/scorpion for being animals like leech is. Feel free to lock in whatever you feel is strongest when you log on unless you feel we need to discuss more.

*Desease is probably a misspelling of disease?
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Awaclus on December 17, 2019, 06:30:22 am
TICK

I also think Alien (as in the film) and Egypt (because of the biblical plagues) are potential ones if we think of leech as a metaphor for parasite in general. Disease and water are also legit guesses. I'm less convinced about slug and scorpion because there are other animals there, too.

Pick two from {seal, buck, bat}, I suppose. And our spymaster's saying mammals rather than animals suggests that scorpion is not one of our words.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Jack Rudd on December 18, 2019, 12:32:07 pm
Ah, there are plenty of other non-mammal animals on the board, come to think of it.

She only said two - I'm guessing bat is the one she didn't think of as a mammal.

Okay....the internets say its when we have found them all.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codenames_(board_game)
There are 8 red words and 9 blue. 

So, we'd need 2 more to win
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Jack Rudd on December 18, 2019, 02:51:40 pm
If we successfully get the last ingredient, it puts our spymaster in the fortunate position of having to clue only one word next time, which would be great. The big risk is that we hit the assassin; the little risk is that we hit one of their words, but we'd still be in a favourable position. I think it may be worth going for.

Well, there's a lot of things here...

Hot spells and hotlinks are things, pans and pizzas are hot, orange is a pretty hot color. Dances and models can be hot if that's what Eevee was going for, but probably not because there are other more literal alternatives.

I also don't think that it's pan+pizza+orange because in that case, it would have been easier to just say "food" or "cooking" or something, but I do think that pan and pizza are the most likely ones because they're the hottest things in the literal sense.

The clue for rabbit and mammoth wouldn't be fossil, I think something like "furry" or "mammal" would be more likely.

Mammoth and tick? Mayyybe, I think some other clue would be more likely though, something referring to how mammoths might have ticks. I'm not a scientist by any means, but I associate scorpions more with ancient times than ticks.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: scolapasta on December 26, 2019, 12:30:33 am
The number is supposed to represent how many words match the clue, not just how many he wants us to guess. That's the whole reason for the unlimited rule.

So I think we haven't had a clue for the last word. Which means the last word should not be at all close to any clue we've heard. (Probably for either team). Of course that's also true of the assassin.

What do you think of that logic? (Am I overthinking it?)
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: EFHW on December 26, 2019, 08:52:35 am
I was thinking maybe we were wrong about whip, but it happened to be red. Also rabbit would be less likely to be blue or the assassin since it could be picked as leather. It's not a great guess for leather, though.

I'd love to hear from the spymasters of last round how we did in relation to their intended clues.

Blue (eventually) got all the intended words for my clues (Narnia was for novel and Hollywood).

Red also got all my intended clues, albeit one turn late with TICK. The last one, I wasn't sure whether RABBIT would enter their minds or not with respect to noise, so I gave Unlimited rather than 3.

How was I supposed to know there was some Czech movie named Groupie?! Not sure if you knew that or googled it, if the latter that's why I'd vote no googling allowed. :) (There's always some obscure reference)

The third word was a vacation. A bit of a stretch, but I didn't see any connection to Czech so I didn't think it was too risky. I was trying to connect those three words so I could then go nonhuman: 4, but I was waiting for blue to first get one of their words picked that would have fit my clue. (And had been thinking 5, until blue got leprechaun for us)

Air should be red on the board, no? (and engine neutral)

For Railroad, I think the best is Tie. After that, I'm not sure. Is a railroad hand some kind of job? Other maybes wheel, or slip (is that something?)

And I have another idea for Current. If it's like current events, maybe Press?


Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Jack Rudd on January 06, 2020, 07:54:32 am
Oh lord, trying to deal with the intricacies of a word that's not in my dialect. Wheel looks fairly obvious.

Is/was there a Washington-and-something railroad company? It rings a bell from my games of Railroad Tycoon.

Maybe on Washington? I still think it could be slip or hand, but Washington might be better (if there is such a company, there must be right?)

So, Tie*, then Wheel

* railroad ties are those pieces that go perpendicular to the rails

Then we can decide for the other rail or other current as the next guess.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: EFHW on January 06, 2020, 01:34:58 pm
Tie and Wheel are both red!
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: scolapasta on January 06, 2020, 01:44:53 pm
Excellent!

So we have 2 more guesses, and assuming neither tie nor wheel was also for current, 1 more for RAILROAD and 1 more for CURRENT, and 1 last word.

Options we've mentioned are:
WASHINGTON
HAND
SLIP
PRESS (for current)

To me, slip is the least likely, because it's only from some vague notion it may somehow relate to railroad, and the same for Hand (just slightly less vague notion).

So what do you think of Washington and Press? (and if you like both, which order?)


Title: Re: Codenames IX

It's always the best when you can use different meanings of a word, I agree.

Beeblebrox has an extra hand, and it's a part you could play in a movie... I knew there was a risk but I couldn't come up with a clue for all four words and had a "finger" in store for the rest as long as you got alien, which I couldn't before press from red was off the board. It was scary, glad it worked out. Really good guessing from Didds and Awaclus!

castle for sure, then maybe horse and torch? or is tokyo famous for being medieval? not super confident after castle, ive been playing civilization lately so horses bring to mind for medieval for me but i don’t know if that’s really universal.

I agree with castle, horse and torch in that order. I don't think Tokyo is very likely because the history periods in Japan work differently and also because I guess most people would think of a modern city with skyscrapers and stuff even though there are historical buildings too.

I don't know if any other meaning for Roadie than what you seem to be thinking (person who travels with band and works on setting up for concerts).

So definitely BAND.

Staff could be good for the 2nd, I don't see anything else, really.

Is it common to give more than one clue for the same word? I'm thinking grass, flute and torch are the most likely ones in a vacuum but I also think that flute and torch were probably intended for earlier clues too.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Awaclus on January 12, 2020, 10:33:01 am
Eh, actually there necessarily has to be at least one word with a double clue at this point so I guess it's probably those three.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on January 12, 2020, 11:54:34 am
Doesn’t the fact they went air ->oxygen imply it’s rather one of the animals than flute? also why grass over cat or horse?

torch for sure

So it's two of cat, flute and grass I think (hope) . Maybe oxygen was given to drive us away from angel?

I'd go flute - cat, but if you prefer grass we can go with that too. Your call.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Awaclus on January 12, 2020, 11:34:27 pm
Flute

I do prefer grass, I think that plants are more associated with oxygen than animals because producing oxygen is one of the most useful things that plants do.

I guess we should pass? We could try to guess the remaining medieval word (assuming torch was one), but there isn't really much point in that because we can just do it next turn with more information.

Gold

I agree with your ideas. I think the last one is probably queen because of the non-f.ds connection, but it could also be settle because of Settlers, wine because of Wine Merchant or candle because of Candlestick Maker. If it's not queen then settle is my best guess because the other two are bigger stretches.

Want to guess one of the previously missed words? I think since wine was blue, it's likely it was one of the Dominion words and candle is the remaining one. Or we could try if ketchup is correct for the drinks.

Post by: scolapasta on January 22, 2020, 11:03:35 am
So let's see Blue still needs 2 words, we need 4.

We know one of them is still out there for sail (and I think we got two correct) and we fairly likely got both toe correct.

If there were 3 for Spread, he could have just gone Spread:3, which leads me to think it's 2 (or possibly even just 1), 1 for sail, and then 1 random?

For spread, bed seems obvious. Then not quite sure.

Post by: scolapasta on January 22, 2020, 11:56:20 am
I'm thinking also ketchup. am a little concerned since they considered it for drink, but it does fit spread too well for it to not be ours (too baf they didn't guess that, instead of candle)

Settle is the most verby, the other two are both nouns and verbs...State is more verb to me than hawk. So my order is settle, state, hawk. Garage is out there with hawk.

So, we got to get all three here, the other team is going to win if they get a turn.

Our clues:

Anglophone: 2 - NY and England were correct.
Breakfast: 2 - We got berry and table, seems correct.
Housing: 3 - we only got roof, 2 left
Brick: 2 - 2 left

I agree well and mine make sense for brick. Leaves one more for housing. Would you need some sort of housing to host a concert? Stock and corner come to mind as other possibilities, hmmmm.


Let's start with well and mine and think about the third if we get there. What do you think about the third word for housing? Do we think mine or well was the second one?
Title: Re: Codenames IX

Nicely done on the last game, blue.

Yeah, belt and paste were hard to pair with needle and board as other options. I had hoped (for some reason) choosing attachment instead of attach might lead you more towards belt than needle. (after posting, I also thought about "fasten" which would clearly get belt, but then is possibly more board than belt). Any better options?

Great guessing on the other two clues - you guys nailed those out of the park!

I was thinking pole could be a clue for the last two words, if that helps.
South and battery?
south and battery indeed.

I think it's Awaclus and Jack

Hi Eevee!

For toast, honey and jam are for sure.  Not as sure about a third. Ideas?
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on February 21, 2020, 02:43:29 pm
Jam for sure. Agree that honey is our next guess too (honey if blue).

Will think about the third!
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on February 21, 2020, 02:46:23 pm
I would just pass if you don't have any ideas for third. I can't think of anything that seems plausible.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on February 21, 2020, 02:49:11 pm
Jam and honey you could explain so many different ways (sweet, sweetener, sticky, edible, etc), I think if they are both correct (I'm worried about honey), the last word would be the reason Awaclus chose this exact clue. I just can't think of a good connection for any of the words.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on February 21, 2020, 08:28:23 pm
For jam - honey - berry, I don't think the clue is "toast", more likely something to do how they are all edible, sweet things.

My vote is pass, but you can choose in case you feel something's better!

Awaclus is enigmatic and somewhat mysterious (when he plays mafia) but I feel certain that the mysteries of the Buffalo do not involve toast.  If I’m wrong, I will eat buffalo toast.

There is also the "famous" Murphy's law for a dropped toast always landing a certain way. I don't like cast for toast, but could see it for Erebor, like metal casting in a forge.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on February 28, 2020, 10:49:14 am
I have some ideas for their missing words for catwoman, but we should avoid giving them any hints.

Could it be dance and bear for circus ? A dancing bear is a circus act, although I recall a bear on a bike also being one and cycle is there, so not sure. Can't find any obvious circus related clues, like lion/tent/show, so Didds could have gone for the "combined word assosiation" of hinting for a single concept made of two words that only would really occur in a circus.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Awaclus on March 01, 2020, 07:45:41 pm
I don't think the clue for dance + bear would be circus, but bear or dance could be options individually I guess.

There's life and grace, if we think of the ancient Roman circuses where losing gladiators could have their life spared or not, depending on whether the emperor was merciful (I'm not sure if that's actually historically accurate, but that's a mental image that a lot of people have). That's the best I can think of.

Ah sorry, forgot you already explained it. I think (uni)cycle is slightly more likely, but you can choose! I think guessing either is better than passing, it’s a tough situation.

Bug and pin. Mark, as in police sting? Maybe dance as in music Sting? Bilbo called his sword Sting, which could lead to staff.

Bond is certainly one. The other could be bug, but I think team red is likely to guess that for sting so I wouldn't go for it. Any ideas for the second word?

Grace under pressure is a thing.

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: scolapasta on March 16, 2020, 09:29:07 pm
Post mortem:

Here's what I intended for each clue:

Catwoman (3): Thief, Grace, Mark
Vermont (4): State, East, Cold, Jacket
Sting (4): Bug, Mark , Scuba Diver, Jacket
Pressure (u): Scuba Diver, Grace
Wahlberg (u): Mark

You correctly surmised that I didn't go Vermont first, because I was especially concerned with Bear. (and why I chose Vermont over Maine). I did see Mass, but it was worth the risk, since it was neutral. Jacket, was because it's something you'd wear when it's cold (which I hoped you'd have in mind with that as the 3rd word).

So I chose Catwoman, hoping for at least the first two. Mark (in the sense of as a target) was clearly more of a stretch, but I didn't see any risk (I completely missed the Batman / Dark Knight connection, so I'm glad you never guessed that).

Then Sting: trying for Mark a 2nd time - I was thinking more of a when you get stung, it leaves a mark, but happy to see you think about a Police String. Scuba Diver was hoping you would go from Stint -> Jellyfish, and Jacket was even more of a stretch (but you weren't getting it from Vermont), though it had two paths. Again when it's very cold, it stings your face. And then, Yellow Jackets.

For Pressure, I just needed to clue in Grace and Scuba Diver. By giving unlimited, you would know at most two words, which meant the other two had to be two Sting and you were already thinking Bug and Mark. (I was so happy when I had the epiphany for connecting Grace and Scuba Diver that wasn't diving specific, as I was concerned about bay).

And lastly, Wahlberg. Just trying to think of a famous Mark. I considered Zuckerberg, but again, bay.

Marble was my third Ares word for statues of him. And I was trying to communicate that bar is not ours by not using Mars.

Haha, I was contemplating adding more words, but was worried they'd get to knife before leprechaun (another fictional character) or mark (a male name like Ares, also a loose connection with war -> archery -> targets).

That truly is the beauty of this game. Not even what's common knowledge, I think that's easier to parse. But what's something that first comes to mind when you hear a word? Much more personal, I feel anyway.

Definitely on guitar and then electric

I am leaning more towards piano as well.  You can use a pick on a bass, but it is usually a finger strum kind of thing.

I like limo and cross, not as sure on Saturn (is this because of the brand?)
A couple of others: ship (is in shipping, not boat), nail (in the road), switch (lanes).

Of those I only really like ship at the level of a 3rd guess. But not sure about more than saturn.

Eevee (or anyone) are you on a computer? Can you repost the board so it’s handy?

So, we ordered a new router this morning (thanks distance learning!) and it’s a Nighthawk. I’m not sure Awa would be thinking if that, but beyond shadow and cloak, web is a possibility.

How about Shadow first?

Another idea is plane, although I don’t have a concrete reason...just seems like a nighthawk. I think web is too far afield. I literally would have had no idea about that connection if I hadn’t been in need of a router today.

Otherwise, pass?

Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: scolapasta on March 26, 2020, 11:37:04 am
Hmm...

We need to get 4 more (with one being Roads); they need 3 more (one of which is nighthawk).

We probably don't get two more turns, but we have to assume we'll get one more. Which means either:
• a clue for 4 (seems unlikely given the previous clues)
•  a clue of 3 and we'll need to figure out this other Roads word.
• a clue of unlimited, meaning we'll have to take a random guess for at least 1 word and get the Roads clue.

Since we're unsure, I suggest we take the risk of guessing now and getting two shots at it.

If you agree, this is what you said previously:

I agree that switch is not great and I'm not convinced on ring (though in addition to a beltway there are also rotaries). I still think it could be nail or ship, but not necessarily better than saturn.

I think if I had to choose, I'd go ship > saturn > nail > ring > switch

SO I'm ok with either ship or saturn this turn, and if it's wrong and we get another turn we can try the other next turn. (unless you prefer nail to ship)

It isn't.

Fair enough. Going forward I propose we consider it (just googling for simple definitions). But even if we agree, that would be starting next game.

SO...

for this clue, let's see. While I have no idea what it might be from or means, it is a compound noun.

So since it is a compound word, I'm guessing it should be for > 1 words.
But unlimited so < 3 words.
i.e. for exactly 2.

If so, then I think I think I lean towards Theater and Pool? I don't love either, but Theater for the Philosophy part and Pool for the tube (inner tubes?) part? Anything else remotely fit? What do you think of the rest of my logic?

So my vote is Pool > Theater > Ship > *Random*

Red Post Mortem:

Musicians (6): Guitar, Soul, Police, Eagle, Tap, Cold
Apron (3): Cook, Dress, Bread
Beer (2): Tap, Cold
Thaw: (2): Cold, Bread

So, I was pretty pleased with my first clue, if I do say so myself. Tap was actually for "This is Spinal Tap" and Cold for Coldplay - and I knew they were both definitely a stretch, but I only saw 3 other risky words and two were neutral. Stadium, Root and Tubes (the latter two being well enough known bands). I picked Musicians over Bands, hoping that that would make Soul an earlier guess and Stadium a later guess, if at all.

After I gave the clue, I realized I could have even gone 7, as there is also a band called Bread.

Apron should be self explanatory.

I actually had a better clue for the next one - Faucet. But I second guessed myself (worrying about Tube), that I went for Beer. And completely missed the obvious connection to Root. In fact, I almost said Beer:3, as I thought about barley and wheat connecting Beer to Bread. But you already had and extra guess and were considering Bread from before and it I wasn't sure if that was too stretchy and would just misguide you.

Finally, just in case you weren't convinced of bread I went Thaw:2 instead of just a 1 word clue for Cold.

As I pm'd to EFHW while sweating your answers, it's always worrisome to give a clue about something that the guessers know better than you. I totally spaced on the famous illness. Surprisingly difficult to think of a war time ruler that's known for being fair.

Thanks.

So I think I still like Turkey best.

I do see that Sound and Pitch are still there, so that could have scared away a clue like Opera / Music if it were Rock.

I thought one of the games involved collecting stones, but that isn't rocks, so... I also wonder if that doesn't go with the red "brain" clue

The choices are brick, london, yard, shadow, rock, pitch, sound

All the games have sound. Most involve a dungeon of some sort so shadow.

I have no idea. Other Zelda's are the good with and Fitzgerald. That is probably all of my limited Zelda knowledge.

Plot, shot and China seem somewhat likely, but they can't all be the answer. What do you think?
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on May 13, 2020, 01:59:29 pm
I wouldn't feel comfortable guessing between China and Mexico for the geographic route (hell, even New York has had some pretty famous ones).

Yet, the word being plural does seem to imply it would be one of the locations, as shot and plot would likely yield a clue in singular form.


Not really sure what to do, feel it's one of [plot/shot] and [China/Mexico] but pretty much a 50-50 inside the brackets.
Title: Re: Codenames IX
Post by: Eevee on May 13, 2020, 02:02:04 pm
So many drug shows and movies from Hollywood lately, I would probably go Mexico over China, really no preference between shot/plot. Passing on turn 1 also feels iffy...

You can choose! All the choices seem so close to each other, hope we get lucky.

Post mortem:

Lock (3): Pick, Steal, Laser
Animal (3): Dog, Rabbit, Cricket
Montezuma (2): Aztec, Mexico
Photons (1): Laser

Yes, you read that correctly! I thought our word was "Steal", not Seal. So we got pretty lucky there that Seal also worked for Lock!! (If I had noticed it was Seal, of course, it could just have been another animal)

I knew Lock was a stretch for Laser, but was trying to get something for all three of those (remember, I thought it was "Steal"), and was thinking about thieves, spies, traps, locks, etc... And I figured go with it before the more obvious ones so you could use extra guesses if you wanted.

Clearly, it also helped they guessed our "State", though I planned to tie that into Aztec and Mexico with something like "Guadalajara".

Our having Mexico hurt Blue, as they had China, New York, and Africa, but were blocked from simple clues like "Locations" or "Geography".

So we have:
Grounds: 4
Proud: Unlimited

while Blue still has 6 more words (though clues for up to 3 of those)

Hmm, still seems a little early for a Hail Mary.

So I'm thinking that this might be that all our words work for these clues, that is, that there are 3 Proud words and 4 Grounds words. What do you think?

I still like Green and Undertaker for Grounds. Another possible (forget if we mentioned, Drill?)
For Proud? At least Eagle. Are Centaurs proud??

I'd start with Eagle -> Ground.

Yay, got one for Proud.

I guess it's possible there's only 1 or 2 for Proud and this was just a way to let us get several guesses in for Grounds (for which, we probably have one more).

What do like next? More possible for Grounds are Boot (Boots on the Ground) and Hotel.

The fact that it's Grounds and not Ground leans me to Hotel over Boot or Drill. (this also was for Temple). Green and Undertaker would have worked with Ground, as well.

Do you see anything for Proud?

So many verbs!

Almost all of them can be verbs or nouns, but I tried to rank them by words that I though of the verb form first:
Model
Paste
Spot
Drill
Boot
Spring
Bill
Bug

Of course that is more than 6...

Oh! The other beak word is probably bill, so I would start with that.
