Hi!

I made another topic for the interesting codenames game: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14004.0
Who wants to play?

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TXkY5snm_uhZQNYvGqwrLSHjuHARIZouOP5pBEWRMXA/edit#gid=0

Teams:

Red: Roadrunner, Jack Rudd, Haddock
Blue: GKrieg, SpaceAnemone, LaLight

[LaLight]

oh, now we have everybody we need =)

Does anybody need clarification on the rules?
And now my magic coin will decide the teams.
aaaaaaand....

Me and Roadrunner - RED
Mail-mi and Jack Rudd - BLUE

All we have to decide is who will be the spymaster.

[Roadrunner7671]

I've played in real life only so it doesn't matter for me. You can use your magic coin again if you want.

[mail-mi]

Don't care, but I don't know how to set up the board, or where to find the words, or anything like that.

[gkrieg13]

this google doc has the stuff to randomize.

[Roadrunner7671]

Don't care, but I don't know how to set up the board, or where to find the words, or anything like that.

Same.

[mail-mi]

Don't care, but I don't know how to set up the board, or where to find the words, or anything like that.

Same.

Since we're both on, shall we be spymasters?

Gkrieg, how many reds/blues/neutrals/assassins?

[Roadrunner7671]

Don't care, but I don't know how to set up the board, or where to find the words, or anything like that.

Gkrieg, how many reds/blues/neutrals/assassins?

Oh, I know this! 25 cards, 1 assassin, then 8 of one color and 9 of the other color.

Whoever has 9 gets to go first.

[Roadrunner7671]

I'm certainly bad. It's Assassin. But why? I know buck as dollar or goat. Why rifle?

[Roadrunner7671]

Buck as in a male deer, which you would shoot, and buck as in buckshot, a type of bullet.

Oh dear.

[Roadrunner7671]

So what were the words for spiderman, key and rifle?

[LaLight]

So what were the words for spiderman, key and rifle?

Spiderman was skyscraper, comic and less obvious - arm. I just didn't see the string.
Key is lock and pass
Rifli is slug and arm

[Roadrunner7671]

I was thinking about guessing slug but I was pretty sure those are for shotguns.

[LaLight]

Okay, let's try another we can switch pairs

[mail-mi]

Let's just keep the same, for now, so I don't get confused.

However, RR will be out of town til Thursday, and I'll be out of town from wed. to saturday. So hopefully one of us will remember next week to start this up again.

[LaLight]

I'm on mobile sorry

Fishing was cast and lead

[LaLight]

Why lead?

[Roadrunner7671]

Why lead?

Well it has two meanings. Lead like the semi-toxic metal and lead like 'you need to lead us over the mountain.' It's also another word for leash. So I had heard the weight that you put on your line called lead once (I think) so if you were a fisherman you might've gotten that. I also take my dog out fishing and she's on a 'lead' and I assumed I wasn't the only one who did that. Then maybe you'd compare a lead to the fishing line. It was a long shot.

[mail-mi]

Woot!

[LaLight]

Why lead?

Well it has two meanings. Lead like the semi-toxic metal and lead like 'you need to lead us over the mountain.' It's also another word for leash. So I had heard the weight that you put on your line called lead once (I think) so if you were a fisherman you might've gotten that. I also take my dog out fishing and she's on a 'lead' and I assumed I wasn't the only one who did that. Then maybe you'd compare a lead to the fishing line. It was a long shot.

Well, this was hard. Sorry

Another one?

Biologist was for scientist, penguin, and tag. I didn't realize buffalo was on the board.... Fly is more entomology than biology.

You got both transportation clues, which were pretty obvious.

And then Indiana jones was for whip, torch, and mine. Mine was a stretch, I know, but I uh haven't actually seen any Indiana jones movies all the way through...

[Jack Rudd]

I would probably have gone for torch and mine, but wouldn't have been confident of either; I haven't seen any Indiana Jones movies.

I've only had the rules explained to me for two players on a side. Would I be right in guessing that if there are three per side, then there's one person who sees the coloured grid, and then two who guess stuff?

I guess so, this is the most obvious outtake.
So, we're waiting for Jack's word and we're ready to start!

[LaLight]

So, my suggestion is: we'll start and if Jack comes he will join the team of mail-mi/RR. So, who wants to be a codemaster? I'd better guess.

[SpaceAnemone]

So here's a grid I just generated using the spreadsheet. I'm sending the coloured version to Mail-mi in a PM -- is that how this is supposed to work?

Blue goes first

SPINE	BUG	BOOT	CASINO	WAVE
BUFFALO	HOOK	ARM	FIRE	KETCHUP
SHOE	MOUSE	CAKE	SKYSCRAPER	BILL
CRASH	MAIL	VACATION	ANGEL	NEEDLE
HEAD	WORM	REVOLUTION	SATELLITE	CHECK

[LaLight]

Yeah, that's right. I suppose we're red?

[SpaceAnemone]

Yeah, that's right. I suppose we're red?

If we pick blue, we can get started while waiting for all the others to wake up :-P

[LaLight]

Also, the question is: Do we guess one word at a time, or one full turn at a time with GKrieg?

[SpaceAnemone]

Hmm.. maybe one word at a time is more inclusive? In which case we have a narrow playing window if you and gkrieg are currently 7 hours apart in terms of timezones, and 8 after (some of?) the US clocks also go back, which I think is this coming Sunday.

[LaLight]

okay, let's do a turn at a time. We always can try different ways and look which one is more fun

[SpaceAnemone]

Cool, so my clue for you and Gkrieg is

Red: 3

Presumably if one of you wants to pass, the other can keep guessing till they decide to pass too?

[LaLight]

Cool, so my clue for you and Gkrieg is

Red: 3

Presumably if one of you wants to pass, the other can keep guessing till they decide to pass too?

I think this gives us an advantage. I suggest that I try to guess all the words from this clue, and if I pass the turn goes to reds. The next clue is GKrieg's and so on.

My first guess anyway is Ketchup

No problem! That's mail-mi turn now and our next guesser is GKrieg.
Also, a thing about rules: When you say {word}:n this means we actually have N+1 guesses. So in the previous case if the revolution was ours I might guess one more word.

[SpaceAnemone]

This is good, because when Gkrieg is guessing, he might be able to get the other item from my "red" clue too :-)

If Mail-mi does a clue next, and RR starts guessing, that gives us more time for the mysterious 6th person to materialise.

[Jack Rudd]

/in

Cool! You're on board with Mail-mi/RR

space: 2

[Roadrunner7671]

Jack if you're here you can go first if you want

[gkrieg13]

Usually the 2 guessers discuss what words they think are best and then give their guesses to the spymaster, instead of switching off who guesses.

[Jack Rudd]

Satellite seems an obvious place to start.

Yes, I like this more, let's do this way.

Also, SA's turn.

[SpaceAnemone]

So I think the grid looks like this now:

SPINE	BUG	BOOT	CASINO	WAVE
BUFFALO	HOOK	ARM	FIRE	KETCHUP
SHOE	MOUSE	CAKE	SKYSCRAPER	BILL
CRASH	MAIL	VACATION	ANGEL	NEEDLE
HEAD	WORM	REVOLUTION	SATELLITE	CHECK

I'm pretty sure in Casino though need to wait GKrieg on the next one

[gkrieg13]

Is go with casino and then either skyscraper or vacation

[gkrieg13]

But lean toward vacation

But lean toward vacation

I'm for skyscraper though. Okay, let's try
Casino First
Also, what do you think about the third "red" word?

[mail-mi]

Casino is blue

[LaLight]

okay, let's try GKrieg's intuition.

Vacation

[gkrieg13]

The third red word is head.

Congratulations blue team!

I understood Bill and Mail as Clinton clues (that was clever!), but I didn't follow why "Bug" was in that list too... can someone enlighten me please? :-)

[Jack Rudd]

I picked BUG as the third ANIMAL (which seems to have been right), and SKYSCRAPER as the second SPACE (which was wrong).

[Roadrunner7671]

I thought it meant bug as in a hidden recording device, but animal works too

[mail-mi]

Ah well. Well played, blue team.

What were our clues? I take it ANIMAL was BUFFALO, BUG and MOUSE.

My words were awful.

Yes, but I didn't notice worm.

Space was for satellite and mouse (space bar-->computer-->mouse)

Clinton was for bill, mail, hook (for Bill's hookup with Monica) and shoe, because it was our last word. After giving the clue, I looked up to see if shoe had any relation to Clinton, and apparently sometime in 2014 Hillary had a shoe thrown at her, so maybe you could get it.

[SpaceAnemone]

Space was for satellite and mouse (space bar-->computer-->mouse)

Ah, I thought of "hook" as the second one for "space" after "satellite".

[Haddock]

Yo!
Space tells me you guys might be thinking of starting a Codenames IX with bigger teams.
I'm totally in if so.

Haddock can take my place, I need to /out.

Seems sensible -- you're replacing Mail-mi, who was just the grid-person for your team anyway. So I guess Jake and RR can fight it out by seeing which one posts a grid first, and sends the coloured-in one to Gkrieg? There's a google docs spreadsheet that does all the hard work, though it might be nice to update it with some new vocab at some point :-)

Right! So Haddock, RR and Jack vs me, LL and Gkrieg? :-)

I guess someone on the Haddock-RR-Jack axis should make the next grid, and maybe we can nominate Gkrieg as clue-giver for our side?

Perfection.  Can I not be grid-person for the first one?  Don't know what I'm doing on that front.

Seems sensible -- you're replacing Mail-mi, who was just the grid-person for your team anyway. So I guess Jack and RR can fight it out by seeing which one posts a grid first, and sends the coloured-in one to Gkrieg? There's a google docs spreadsheet that does all the hard work, though it might be nice to update it with some new vocab at some point :-)

PPE 1

Oops! Thanks, LL, and my apologies, Jack! I'll try harder not to mix you up with the new guy over in the mafia games :-P

[Jack Rudd]

Blue goes first

IVORY	SNOWMAN	AMERICA	SPY	PLATYPUS
SHIP	LIMOUSINE	TRIANGLE	VALLEY	VACUUM
ALPS	ROCK	BAR	SWITCH	CAKE
LEMON	WHALE	SOUND	MEXICO	THUMB
CHICK	MISSILE	STATE	MOON	ROW

climb: 3

[LaLight]

My guesses are Rock, Alps and... i don't know. Ship? What do you think?

[SpaceAnemone]

My guesses are Rock, Alps and... i don't know. Ship? What do you think?

I'd probably go for Alps, Rock and Valley in that order. Can you make the guesses, LL? (Am a bit distracted just now after my earlier meeting overran massively!)

[LaLight]

Alps

Sorry! :-(

[Jack Rudd]

Egg: 3

[Roadrunner7671]

Definitely platypus, maybe cake, then a third thing.

[Haddock]

Chick would be the third thing

[Haddock]

I think Chick, then Cake, then platypus.

At a HUGE stretch, Vacuum.  Seems unlikely.

[Haddock]

Happy to guess in that order, RR?

[Roadrunner7671]

I guess. I'm pretty  confident about platypus but we can do that order

[Haddock]

I guess. I'm pretty  confident about platypus but we can do that order

Maybe platypus before cake?

In any case,

Chick

[gkrieg13]

Chick is red

[Haddock]

Platypus

Platypus

Red

[Haddock]

Cake then pass

[gkrieg13]

pontiac: 3

Uh-ow! I think that's a kind of car, but I know nothing about them :-(

[Haddock]

Bump

[LaLight]

Seems like Limousine/America/???

Also, can any of the mods repost the colored table?

I'll go with Limousine

[SpaceAnemone]

Does using Google count as cheating?

[Roadrunner7671]

Does using Google count as cheating?

I think you're allowed to use Wikipedia but that's it

I'm not sure though

[Jack Rudd]

Limousine is blue.

[LaLight]

America and SA's turn

[Jack Rudd]

America is neutral.

Elephant: 1

[Haddock]

Well, Ivory, obviously.  I guess I won't officially guess it yet.

Can we see the coloured grid?

[SpaceAnemone]

Does using Google count as cheating?

I think you're allowed to use Wikipedia but that's it

I'm not sure though

Wikipedia should be enough :-)

Though I see I'm saved from having to make a third guess by America not being right. It's definitely what I'd have picked for the second guess too, though!

[Roadrunner7671]

Ivory is cool with me

[Jack Rudd]

Ivory is red.

IVORY	SNOWMAN	AMERICA	SPY	PLATYPUS

I guess we pass.

[Roadrunner7671]

Yeah that's cool

[Haddock]

pass

[gkrieg13]

white: 2

[LaLight]

my guesses are whale/snowman/moon

[SpaceAnemone]

my guesses are whale/snowman/moon

I like Whale and Snowman. I'm less sure about moon. Maybe sound, since white noise is a thing? I may be being too technical there, though.

I also have a couple of ideas relating to the previous clue thanks to wikipedia, so we could try one of those for the third thing.

Snowman

Is white. Errr blue

[LaLight]

Whale

[gkrieg13]

Whale

Also blue

[SpaceAnemone]

So we could try moon now. My best guess for the pontiac clue is Triangle, since the logo looks a bit triangular if you squint at it.

That said, there's also a psychiatric hospital that used to be known as Pontiac State, apparently.. so that's another option. No idea whether that's something a typical USian will expect others to have heard of.. I found it by searching Wikipedia for Pontiac in combination with each of the other grid words.

You have to pass.  The number given was 2 and you've guessed 3

[LaLight]

oh, right, i thought it's three.
Pass

[Jack Rudd]

Secret: 2

[Haddock]

I'm thinking
Spy
State
Missile

In that order.

[Haddock]

Obviously we don't guess 3 times.

[Roadrunner7671]

I'd definitely go spy first

[Haddock]

spy

[gkrieg13]

spy

red.  Must be a commie

[Roadrunner7671]

I sort of want to go missle now but it's up to you

[Haddock]

I sort of want to go missle now but it's up to you

Nah, State over missile surely.

As in State Secret.

State

[Jack Rudd]

State is red.

[Haddock]

pass

[gkrieg13]

Fruit: 2

[SpaceAnemone]

Hmm.. lemon is clear. Maybe bar for the second one, but I'll let LL decide when he wakes up... I may be afk for most of tomorrow, unless I'm just too sick to move :-P

[Haddock]

bump

[LaLight]

Lemon and absolutely no idea what the second is

[Jack Rudd]

Lemon is blue.

[LaLight]

nothing makes sense... Bar?

[Jack Rudd]

Bar is neutral.

Abhors: 1

[Roadrunner7671]

Wait a second...

[Haddock]

Nature abhors a vacuum

Don't we need to get 2 to win though?

[Roadrunner7671]

Do we?

[Roadrunner7671]

I'm not sure if we do, I lost count twice

[Jack Rudd]

Vacuum is red, and I think that's all our words.

[gkrieg13]

Vacuum is red, and I think that's all our words.

Ya that's all the words

[SpaceAnemone]

Well done, Team Red! :-)

Gkrieg, can you tell us what the car clues were all about now? I feel there's a giant gap in my understanding there :-P

[gkrieg13]

Well done, Team Red! :-)

Gkrieg, can you tell us what the car clues were all about now? I feel there's a giant gap in my understanding there :-P

So there were many problems that I only thought about after I had given the clues.

I live in Arizona, so whenever I think of fruit, I think of Mexico.

Pontiacs are generally not very good cars, so they are lemons.  But you guys don't have pontiacs where you live.

[gkrieg13]

The last climb one was thumb.  Thinking of rock climbing there

[gkrieg13]

Oh and last pontiac clue was triangle, because that is their logo

[LaLight]

yeah, we got the triangle Good work, red ones!

And now you'll see what happens when I'm a codemaster.

[LaLight]

Red goes first

PAW	HOTEL	REVOLUTION	NOTE	NET

SINK	KISS	ATLANTIS	PISTOL	GENIUS

[Roadrunner7671]

British: 3

[Haddock]

OK, cripes.

Well, Shakespeare, obviously.

Maybe Pants?  Because it means something different in Britain and America.
Bow for bow tie perhaps.
Maybe also France, or soldier.

[Jack Rudd]

Yeah, Shakespeare is an obvious one to start with.

Trunk is another one that means different things in the two countries.

[Roadrunner7671]

Shakespare is red

[Haddock]

Hurmmm.

I think I like bow best out of our remaining options.  But Trunk and Pant are nice too...

[Jack Rudd]

Your call, I think. Nothing there screams my native country to me.

[Haddock]

Your call, I think. Nothing there screams my native country to me.

Nor me.  Maybe RR is calling up some American stereotypes of what Brits are like.

I'll go with bow

[LaLight]

Your call, I think. Nothing there screams my native country to me.

Dangggggg.

[gkrieg13]

I would go with Genius, Net, and Link.  My guess is Bill Gates could've been just "Computer Genius" as the clue

Don't worry about it!  Always sleep before forum games

[Haddock]

France and Mexico cos they're also countries?

I dunno, this is tough.  If RR keeps naming countries and nationalities we're going to have trouble...

[Jack Rudd]

Well, a centaur is a creature from Greek mythology.

[Roadrunner7671]

Centaur is red

[Haddock]

Centaur is red

Ah good call, I didn't see that one.
I have no idea what else.  It probably isn't France or Mexico, because if "they're countries" were what RR was going for, it would have to be both of them.  (Unless he wants the "France is closer to Britain" connection.)

Nothing else on there has anything to do with Greece, that I can see. 
I dunno.  Soldier, maybe?  Lots of fighters in mythology.  But then Revolution is equally good.

[Jack Rudd]

I'll try Atlantis.

[Roadrunner7671]

Atlantis is neutral

[SpaceAnemone]

Aw, Atlantis is exactly what I'd have tried with that clue next too.

[LaLight]

Red goes first

Romantic: 3

[gkrieg13]

I would say kiss and France. And maybe note for the third?

[SpaceAnemone]

I would say kiss and France. And maybe note for the third?

Ah, I'd missed Note entirely on my first look through, and was trying to decide whether it could be Hotel. The other option is Moscow, but I'm arriving at that idea through personal info I know about LL, so I'm not sure whether he'd pick that as a clue or think it might be invalid.

[SpaceAnemone]

Oh yeah, I could just start guessing the first two, rather than waiting for gkrieg to wake up!

Let's try kiss!

Alternatively, fire can be romantic.. thinking more cozy fireplace rather than explosions and arson, anyway :-)

Did you agree that clues to do with personal info are likely to be out?

[gkrieg13]

Ya I think that it would be too much of a stretch for this clue.  I think personal clues are fine, but I don't think it is true in this case.

I would think hotel is the best one left.  I just don't get the fire one.  I mean I get it, but I don't think it comes to my mind before fire or note.

Okay.. I think it's a really cunning clue if I'm understanding it right, LL, but I'm not going to risk it, since I can't explain without saying too much! Or I might just be completely barking up the wrong tree anyway :-P

Let's go with hotel, since I think that's what gkreig's agreeing with me on for the final one :-)

You're probably surer than I am that they can't link their last two words.

Kill it with fire.

[Roadrunner7671]

Fire is red

[Jack Rudd]

Well, a few possibilities. Haddock, what do you think?

[Haddock]

Guh.  Another ridiculously hard one.

I don't know.

Sink, maybe?  As in sink a ship?

Or maybe brick.

He could be going the Trump angle: "Eradicate Mexico!"

[Jack Rudd]

Sink looks reasonable to me.

[Roadrunner7671]

And that's the assassin

My clues weren't good but that was hard

[LaLight]

Yay we won!

The third word for Romantic was... Pirate!

It's romantic. Quite. Moscow was red, so it's good you didn't tell it )

Haddock and Space are in charge now

[Haddock]

Hold up, hold up.  I want to know what the rest of the words were.

[Roadrunner7671]

I'll tell you my thought process for the clues at 10:00 or so. Maybe they'll then make sense

Pistol (mafia)? Ice Cream? Theater? I'm no good in Italia

[Roadrunner7671]

British was:
Shakespeare-You got that.
Revolution-The war! It was a big deal!
Note-Doesn't that have something to do with your money?

Greece was:
Centaur-Yeah
Then it could've been a few things. Maybe Revolution, maybe Aztec, maybe not. I sort of hoped you'd guess more British clues correctly.

Eradicate was:
Fire-Yeah
Aztec-They just disappeared, man!
Revolution-To eradicate your government.

[Jack Rudd]

British was:
Revolution-The war! It was a big deal!

Yes, it was, but not on this side of the Atlantic, at least not any more.

(If you wanted us to guess more British clues on the second one, you should have said Greece: Unlimited.)

The bolded ones are the ones I find really questionable.
Getting "Note" from "British" is completely insane.  Almost every currency has banknotes.

I did keep thinking Revolution vaguely fit with stuff, but never quite as well as other things.

Anyhoo.

[Jack Rudd]

British currency doesn't have very many notes, as it happens. £5, £10, £20 and the rare-and-not-accepted-everywhere £50.

[SpaceAnemone]

British currency doesn't have very many notes, as it happens. £5, £10, £20 and the rare-and-not-accepted-everywhere £50.

I think it's just that the US refers to paper money as "bills", rather than "notes". I'm not sure what they'd call Euro notes -- RR and gkrieg, would it be a "10-Euro bill" or a "10-Euro note" to you?

And RR, what you guys call a "check" (like at a restaurant), is what we'd refer to as a "bill". Though I think what we call a "cheque" (those awful outdated sign-a-piece-of-paper money transaction things), you'd also call a "check".

[SpaceAnemone]

British currency doesn't have very many notes, as it happens. £5, £10, £20 and the rare-and-not-accepted-everywhere £50.

Pretty sure I've still got a £1 note somewhere -- they survived in Scotland a lot longer than they did down here in England :-)

I didn't realize you weren't American.

I think Haddock, Jack and I are all in the UK, LL is in Russia, and you and gkrieg are in the US.

Was I supposed to take the words above as guesses? They weren't bolded, so I figured I'd wait for LL to weigh in...

Unbolded words should never be counted. Waiting for LaLight

Oh, I'm sorry. Beer and Night if beer is blue.

Beer is blue :-)

Night is also blue!!

That's all the blue words, right?

[Haddock]

Yes. Grr.
I really thought pistol would be totally obvious for metallic.

The last clue was obviously a stretch was going for octupus+flower.

[LaLight]

Who's next? Gkrieg/Haddock?

[gkrieg13]

Who's next? Gkrieg/Haddock?

Haddock just went and I'll be V/LA for thanksgiving starting tomorrow to the end of the week

[LaLight]

oh ok, it's Gkrieg/Jack and we can play one roung without GKrieg I suppose. Is it okay for everyone?

[SpaceAnemone]

Sure!

Have a nice break, Gkrieg :-)

Fine by me

reef: 4

[SpaceAnemone]

I'm thinking Scuba Diver, Australia, and then probably Beach. Last thing could be slug, as in sea slugs, or something to do with change/disease given the recent news articles about the decline and death of the Great Barrier Reef? Or even Alien, as in weird and different landscape. LL, what do you feel like?

I agree with the first three for sure, so Scuba Diver -> Australia -> Beach

About the 4th: Slug seems good, also there's drop. Don't think Alien is an answer, change neither.. I'd go Drop or Pass.

[gkrieg13]

All blue

[LaLight]

I'll wait for SA
I'm inclined to say Pass and wait for more hints to come that will help us in the future.

[SpaceAnemone]

Sure, let's Pass for now.

[Jack Rudd]

Petr Čech: 2

[Haddock]

Apparently he's a Czech footballer.

So, Czech

He has tons of match caps, so I guess cap as well, though I guess superhero is a vague possibility

[Jack Rudd]

Czech is red.

[Roadrunner7671]

Ha! I actually know who that is.

[Roadrunner7671]

I'd go cap or drop

[Haddock]

Why drop?

I lean towards cap since it's one of the very first things mentioned on his Wikipedia.

[Roadrunner7671]

Why drop?

I lean towards cap since it's one of the very first things mentioned on his Wikipedia.

Cause he drop kicks the ball hella far.

We should go with cap.

[Haddock]

Cap it is.

[gkrieg13]

Cap is red

Elephant: 2

[LaLight]

Elephant: 2

They have one more guess.

[Haddock]

Elephant: 2

They have one more guess.

Pass

[LaLight]

Africa/Trunk?

[gkrieg13]

Sorry I assumed they would pass as they only got a clue for 2 and no past clues were still available.

[LaLight]

Sorry I assumed they would pass as they only got a clue for 2 and no past clues were still available.

But who knows

[SpaceAnemone]

Africa/Trunk?

Africa -> Trunk

I don't have any more bright ideas for a third, so are you happy passing if those two go through, LL?

[gkrieg13]

blue and blue

[LaLight]

Pass then

[Jack Rudd]

Scramble: 2

[Haddock]

Can only think of scrambled eggs.

So, Cook and maybe bread?  As in scrambled eggs on toast?

[Roadrunner7671]

I like cook, but change is a synonym for scramble, sort of.

[Haddock]

Ooh I like that.

Cook then RR feel free it confirm change, if you like.  I think it's the best bet.

[Roadrunner7671]

We should probably start with Cook, I agree.

[gkrieg13]

Red

[Roadrunner7671]

I'm gonna go change, just because if that's red it would be awesome.

[Jack Rudd]

Change is red.

[Roadrunner7671]

Oh yeah!

[Haddock]

pass

[gkrieg13]

pipe: 2

[SpaceAnemone]

pipe: 2

A pipe dream is a thing, so "dream" would be my first guess. Then maybe either "drop" (like pipes for water) or "boom" (like a pipe bomb).

What do you think, LL?

It might be good to see an update of the coloured grid before deciding for sure, but I don't have time to do one just now.

Don't have time also. Dream's fine, also drop seems more preferable

[Jack Rudd]

[SpaceAnemone]

Thanks for the grid, Jack! :-)

Let's start with Dream.

LL, I've also realised that Disease would fit, if it's a smoking kind of pipe :-( Do you still prefer Drop?

[LaLight]

Thanks for the grid, Jack! :-)

Let's start with Dream.

LL, I've also realised that Disease would fit, if it's a smoking kind of pipe :-( Do you still prefer Drop?

Yes :-P

Thought you might ;-)

Shall we go Dream -> Drop -> Pass?

[LaLight]

Yes :-P

Shall we go Dream -> Drop -> Pass?

Yup

[SpaceAnemone]

Okay! Since I already bolded Dream, I'll now just add Drop -> Pass after that, and then LL and I can wait for someone who knows what's going on to update everything :-) Thanks!

[Jack Rudd]

Dream is blue, drop is neutral.

Resuscitation: 2

[Haddock]

Ambulance, disease and kiss (as in kiss of life) all seem good.

I think I'd go Ambulance first, not sure how to rank the other two.

[Roadrunner7671]

That's a word you don't hear very often!

I'd be inclined to go Ambulance and Disease too, but those words could've been accomplished with a clue like hospital. Why would Jack say Resuscitation instead?

[Haddock]

That's why I'm thinking Kiss.  The kiss of life is very specific to resuscitation.

Ambulance first?

[Roadrunner7671]

Hmmm....okay

[Haddock]

Ambulance

[Jack Rudd]

Ambulance is red.

[Haddock]

Alright... RR are you OK with kiss?

[Roadrunner7671]

Alright... RR are you OK with kiss?

Yes I am.

kiss

[Jack Rudd]

Kiss is red.

[Haddock]

pass

[Roadrunner7671]

Ba-zing!

Good one Haddock!

[gkrieg13]

Invaders: 2

Invaders: 2

Settle/Alien?

What do you think?

[SpaceAnemone]

Invaders: 2

Settle/Alien?

What do you think?

I like Alien for sure. Maybe Slug or Disease are worth considering for another option, though?

[LaLight]

Let it be Slug, ok

So Alien first

[gkrieg13]

Blue

[SpaceAnemone]

Oops.. forgot about this game!

LL seemed happy with Slug, so let's try that next :-)

[gkrieg13]

SLUG is Neutral

[Jack Rudd]

Sunnydale: 2

[Roadrunner7671]

Welp, time to go to Wikipedia!

[Haddock]

Sunnydale is the setting of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

So definitely superhero.

The other one, dunno.  Either boom (because sunnydale is constantly on fire) or film.

[Haddock]

bump, RR?

[SpaceAnemone]

bump, RR?

He's got a VLA post in force till tomorrow night forum time...

[Haddock]

OK, sure.

superhero

[gkrieg13]

OK, sure.

superhero

Red

[Haddock]

Hmm.
OK I'll go for film

[Jack Rudd]

Film is the assassin. Sorry. Knew there was a risk of that.

Ya film being the assassin made that very difficult for the both of us.

[LaLight]

So, who's next?

[Roadrunner7671]

Darn 

That's what I would've told you to pick anyway. Difficult board.
