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

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.
-
I've played in real life only so it doesn't matter for me. You can use your magic coin again if you want.
-
Don't care, but I don't know how to set up the board, or where to find the words, or anything like that.
-
this google doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TXkY5snm_uhZQNYvGqwrLSHjuHARIZouOP5pBEWRMXA/edit#gid=0) has the stuff to randomize.

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

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

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

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

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

Fishing was cast and lead
-
Why lead?
-
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.
-
Woot!

oh, well. it's terror act shortly. And I felt very, very guilty. So I don't know. If it is offensive I'm willing to skip a turn. sorry for inconvenience
-
That's not offensive, don't worry!
I just didn't know what it meant and the dictionaries didn't know either

I have the very same word in russian and was pretty sure, uou shorten it too :)
Waiting for your answers then.

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...
-
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.
Tag just wouldn't have occurred to me at all as a word for biologist.

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! :)
-
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.
-
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 |
-
Yeah, that's right. I suppose we're red?
-
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
-
Also, the question is: Do we guess one word at a time, or one full turn at a time with GKrieg?
-
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.
-
okay, let's do a turn at a time. We always can try different ways and look which one is more fun :)
-
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?
-
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.

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.

-
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.
-
Satellite seems an obvious place to start.

| CRASH | MAIL | VACATION | ANGEL | NEEDLE |

Is go with casino and then either skyscraper or vacation

But lean toward vacation

I'm for skyscraper though. Okay, let's try

Also, what do you think about the third "red" word?

Casino is blue

okay, let's try GKrieg's intuition.
Vacation

The third red word is head.

Vacation is blue :-)

seems like Cake
GKrieg, will we try to guess the last one? :)

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? :-)
-
I picked BUG as the third ANIMAL (which seems to have been right), and SKYSCRAPER as the second SPACE (which was wrong).
-
I thought it meant bug as in a hidden recording device, but animal works too
-
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.
-
Space was for satellite and mouse (space bar-->computer-->mouse)
Ah, I thought of "hook" as the second one for "space" after "satellite".
-
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.

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?

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 :-)

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.

Is white. Errr blue

Whale

Whale
Also blue

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.

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.
-
The last climb one was thumb. Thinking of rock climbing there
-
Oh and last pontiac clue was triangle, because that is their logo
-
yeah, we got the triangle :) Good work, red ones!
And now you'll see what happens when I'm a codemaster.

British: 3
-
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.
-
Yeah, Shakespeare is an obvious one to start with.
Trunk is another one that means different things in the two countries.
-
Shakespare is red
-
Hurmmm.
I think I like bow best out of our remaining options. But Trunk and Pant are nice too...
-
Your call, I think. Nothing there screams my native country to me.

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
-
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...
-
Well, a centaur is a creature from Greek mythology.
-
Centaur is red
-
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.
-
I'll try Atlantis.
-
Atlantis is neutral

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

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.
-
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 :-)

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 :-)

Eradicate: 3

You're probably surer than I am that they can't link their last two words.
Kill it with fire.
-
Fire is red
-
Well, a few possibilities. Haddock, what do you think?
-
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!"
-
Sink looks reasonable to me.
-
And that's the assassin :(
My clues weren't good but that was hard :(
-
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 :)
-
Hold up, hold up. I want to know what the rest of the words were.

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

Pizza aaaand...
Pistol (mafia)? Ice Cream? Theater? I'm no good in Italia :))
-
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.
-
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. :P
I did keep thinking Revolution vaguely fit with stuff, but never quite as well as other things.
Anyhoo.
-
British currency doesn't have very many notes, as it happens. £5, £10, £20 and the rare-and-not-accepted-everywhere £50.

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".

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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