I defer to the individual with the big words

[Isis]

shiki! You're still freezing yourself and doing neck exercises in that snow, huh.

I'm not entirely sure whether that was the clue-giver's interpretation of it, but Left seems better even if we take it by the other interpretation.

VOTE: Left
Quickhammer!!!1

[Isis]

Kanna, Hectic, shiki, jumble, have you watched Brooklyn 99?

[Isis]

I think the cluegiver was going with "height is measured parallel to the direction of gravity."

[Isis]

Yeah I feel like giving a clue from "wide to tall" the clue should be something that "can be tall". At a minimum that's more fun.

[Isis]

i have now watched the first eight episodes of brooklyn nine-nine in an attempt to be useful here.

I am totally and completely floored by this level of effort and am not going to do anything but hardsheep shiki's guess. Don't you dare @ me.

[Isis]

that sure did just happen

[Isis]

that sure did just happen

[Isis]

Shiki is aymazing

[Isis]

I like the game but if it's hard to accommodate lots of people I might should be one of the ones to duck out and leave more room for others

[Isis]

I will play.
I think it'd be fun if there were teams of three or four, and each team got the same exact spectrums to work from in PTs, then after a few round you see which teams scored the highest and read eachother's discussions. Like bridge scoring. That might be too competitive and not social/casual enough though. Mishmash doesn't support PTs but that's not a problem if you're ok with honor system which I would be, problem is people might prefer having about ~10 people all in the thread together

[Isis]

I'll play with Kanna and Hectic if I'm S, Kanna is tar, and Hectic is Debt

[Isis]

"numerology" stuff is kinda out of the spirit of the game, I'm just always going to assume it is not that. At its logical extreme you could always just ignore the prompt and name one of the first hundred elements of the periodic table.

This image is somewhat colorful in that it could be black and white, but isn't, but not fully colorful, with many hues in the spectrum of visible light omitted. It is very dark, both literally and in the emotions the piece evokes. I'm thinking 80, but maybe it's merely a 70. 60 seems too low to me.

[Isis]

there's so much black and purple can we at least go forty

[Isis]

if the board had 26 dark orbs 2 water orbs a light orb and a heart orb what would you guess

[Isis]

Lock in 20 and let me try to get a rich level of catharsis at this point.

[Isis]

it's not about how it looks it's about how the piece makes you feel
I feel darkness when I look at this piece

You'll see more with your eyes closed

[Isis]

I'm a dunce and didn't see that turns passed

other team please be sportsman and don't enlarge
it's really just a rehash of what I was saying earlier tho so it's kind of whatever.

like in my calculus

I am thinking shiki did not get the prompt and then open a catalog for art prints and flip through it randomly
and for each one say "ok if you printed this one out the color cartridges would be 20% empty and the black ink cartridges would be 45% empty, ok this next one the color cartridges would be 50% empty and the black ink cartridges would be 70% empty, ok i'm gonna keep flipping, eventually I will get to one where these values objectively point to 20%"
I am thinking Lilith pmed her "80" or "70" and shiki thought, when is the last time I felt 80% dark inside but still appreciative of variety in color, but of course, it would be that time I was weeping onto my pillow contemplating the tragedy of composition vi by wassily kandinski

[Isis]

oh wait its not my turn anymore someone should have stopped me I didn't see hectic guessed

[Isis]

As a member of Team Debt Star feel free to hit the quote button to make the small text readable, and you can see

[Isis]

I'm supposed to be happy that we earned points

[Isis]

:0

[Isis]

in disagreements in general shiki is right and i am wrong

tho idk if this is a disagreement versus marco polo game

[Isis]

Rugs are so fuzzy omg

When my kitties see a rug they get excited and roll on their backs and wallow to feel their backs against it

That means they must be fuzzier than a kitty otherwise they could do that to eachother

And kitties are pretty fuzzy
Right right

[Isis]

I like straightforward cards so the players can have a monopoly on wacky

[Isis]

is velvet thunder a red velvet or a purple velvet

[Isis]

i don't recognize that name but I want it to turn out to be the name of the giant from Princess Bride but then I immediately realized have a vague enough idea of that guy's name that I can rule it out.

[Isis]

In Lost Ian plays a good guy character iirc. I reckon he probably plays a good guy in most of his other roles? There's a cognitive bias where people tend to think of people they like or leaders or stars as being taller and bad people or disliked people as shorter. So even if Ian is factually average height I think the number will be at least a little bit above average.

That's not assuming a mistake from enomis per se; I think it's proper to think of those types of attitudes as being an expected part of a clue. It's all about, like, an impression.

I like 60.

[Isis]

I maybe want to go 50 if he mostly plays evil, then

[Isis]

Any of you who suggest guessing 99 or less are getting added to my "Foe" list

[Isis]

One hundred!

[Isis]

Spoiler:

[Isis]

Spoiler:

As you can see we're not getting lots of discussion but I think this is an interesting clue and it'd be a lot of missed opportunity not to discuss the strategy of it more.
Hectic's terse comment makes me think he's just kind of on the level 1 understanding of a unicorn being given as a clue just because unicorns are a real animal (which is definitely the best and safest reason to pick 100). But there's other factors that xtoxm used to help make this not just a 100 but a

safe

100.
One is that a unicorn is a bit of a combination of a narwhal and a horse, and a narwhal and a horse are each individually real things. Unicorns also might make you think about the word realistic because media that depicts them will have to choose how to deal with blood caused by unicorns in the rare instances their horns are used for harm, and showing what happens in a way not appropriate for younger eyes is the "realistic" approach. Unicorns are also sometimes included in stories and legends that include other creatures that are actually fictitious, this draws more emphasis to how realistic the unicorn inclusions are. Last but not least, unicorns are pretty popular in early cave drawings, and most archeologists believe that mistakes in proportion in cave drawings were accidental and that unlike, say, the Egyptians, prehistoric peoples tried to draw animals exactly how they saw them - an approach that, opposed to abstract, is "realistic". This kind of hunt for the best clue from amongst a pile of possible great clues really strikes me as signature Xtoxm

[Isis]

VOTE: right

[Isis]

Dragonfly!

[Isis]

There's a genre of Spanish literature that is largely realistic for a long time then breaks into fantasy halfway through or at the ends of books. Would be useful for stuff between 0 and 100. But Xtoxm rolled 100 here.

[Isis]

For 45 I would use a Pokemon that is based on a real animal like keldeo

[Isis]

For 80-90 I would use an old legend that is probably based on stuff that really happened like the siege of Troy.
For 20-30 I would use legends that didn't really happen but that we as a society agree to pretend happened like the moon landing and Texas joining the United States of America

[Isis]

What's a rickroll?

[Isis]

The video itself is a bait and switch. Why would I care about Rick Astley's likelihood of deserting me when there is a handsome bartender who can do a backflip?

[Isis]

Hectic PMed me that enomis had mended his ways and voted to guess right so I took him off my foe list.
Now he has finalized a guess that will earn us a point.

[Isis]

I wish I was Kanna so I could craft an emoji that depicts my betrayed and despondent feelings

[Isis]

What about the unicorns' feelings xtoxm

[Isis]

Probably 90ish?

[Isis]

Aren't hilts also smooth? I guess I just assume they aren't or else kanna would have given a different clue

[Isis]

You guys are killing it, please hardcarry me.

I think a very very high value makes more sense than 100 because there are so many easy clues for 100 like "sphere".

[Isis]

I think it's never 100 because 100 would be a more straightforward clue. I want 92 or 90

[Isis]

Charge it to a credit card and stay on theme?

[Isis]

That's the toilet Loki uses.

[Isis]

I'm bad at linking images on my phone but on decibel charts it's like 40% from jet engine

[Isis]

Decibels are actually a logarithmic scale, though, would NK15 pedantically consider that this making the answer something like 2? Also, nuclear explosions are commonly omitted from these scales, I bet those are louder than jets.

[Isis]

I finally unfoe nsg because I believe in forgiveness and second chances and then the first post I see she maligns my lifestyle

[Isis]

I saw a bin at office depot dedicated for selling products based on real animals today

[Isis]

If that's true, then you would be able to tell anyone that, right Hectic?

[Isis]

Isis, you're in denial; one of those is NOT a real animal. I mean, I've never met a Dino in real life before. I'm pretty sure they're a conspiracy.

If that's true, then you would be able to tell anyone that, right Hectic?

Tell this sweet face "dinosaurs aren't real".

[Isis]

He is "excited" at all times, but he is "exciting" and doesn't excite me, he is one of the less interesting characters.

Maybe Keiji would have been safer because he's not volume 11 but there are some ways I find him interesting. Q-taro is the rockbottom least interesting character to me but since everyone is pretty interesting I thought I had to pick that to get as high as 70.


I thought about doing a film that is boring for 70% of it's scenes or a game that is 70% turn based battle and 30% live action or something but that seems like a more boring way to play, I think funky hard clues are the most fun and people should do those in the spirit of fun

[Isis]

Are getting two turns in a row by the way? I'm confused

[Isis]

[Isis]

ew pop culture

[Isis]

Um so if it was right it would be over already therefore it's left?

[Isis]

Oh off by on error. It's probably right then

[Isis]

I'm not gonna click to expand 687 and 688 but I'm gonna assume they say that water's not real

[Isis]

VOTE: right

[Isis]

Guess: Right

[Isis]

my sig is changed, now I have to finish up YTTD before I go to sleep because I no longer have a reminder

[Isis]

Wow

[Isis]

In a pure sense it "ought" to be 80+ because a workshop lamp is one where additional brightness is very desirable, so you can clearly see what you're working on. It's more essential than maybe some recreational evening lighting or a lamp for walking home on a paved route.

But actually such lamps are portrayed rather dimly in media. Kerosene doesn't grow on trees? (Right? Am I allowed to Google whether it does? I think it's a safe statement but yknow rubber grows on trees so)

[Isis]

What if the meaning is actually the lamp is the creation of the workshop? If it is not finished being constructed, it's brightness may be dull or nonexistent. It's quite possible that it is zero. It seems like the kind of clue Hectic would give.

[Isis]

it also allowed me to play the other team like a piano

[Isis]

I want to be hipster and guess the "grim reality" side of forty

[Isis]

ew pop culture

I want to be hipster

I use the word "hipster" to mean "deliberately doing something unpopular for coolness".

[Isis]

I know it's not 100 because "an awkward attachment you can buy to cast light on the unlit screen of the original game boy" is 100, right above Sirius and all

[Isis]

guess:78

[Isis]

no one joined forcers with me

[Isis]

80

[Isis]

Menalque the way you dress is in no way fancy and I love the simplicity that permeates you're being you are such an authentic person

[Isis]

this is reminding me of my favorite adjective "pedestrian", as distinct from the noun

[Isis]

I mixed up 20 and 80, i wanted to pick mostly fancy

[Isis]

i dont understand what it adds to the game to put the logical right adjective on the left and vice versa half the time

[Isis]

I support shiki

[Isis]

Life is temporary, but all too commonly we start defending it as if it's permanent.
I feel like 70, life seems too fleeting to be a 60 and it seems like too many better clues exist for 80+ like the balloon the dentist gives you as a reward for bringing your child to the dentist.

[Isis]

you guys are being too tryhard and ruining the fun of the game and it's really bothering me

[Isis]

I wouldn't guess that panzer is a TS Eliot fan and I doubt the answer is human mean human lifespan but I don't mind guessing that just because it could be around there for independent reasons

[Isis]

I vote 75 sure

[Isis]

He generally sits in a vehicle, unmoving, it's 100

I thought we were going to stop doing logically inverted spectrums? Did someone request to keep them?

[Isis]

Ok, sorry to be a pest

My vote is left

[Isis]

I mean right

[Isis]

Happy birthday!

[Isis]

I will post my psychic pick shortly

[Isis]

[Isis]

Spoiler:

I'm not sure what I'm looking at but I love it

Did you see your name in the corner?

[Isis]

yes but I'm not sure what it means! did you make a yoruichi character and name it after me?

heheh no it just proves I didn't copy the image from somewhere. That's where your account name goes, I changed to that temporarily for the picture.

That's my Yoruichi character in Puzzles and Dragons, my favorite game. My avatar is from that game. I haven't used her in battle yet but I think there will probably be a situation where "...You are a fool." is very powerful because many characters for when the team falls to 1 HP.

[Isis]

ohno

[Isis]

Nsg is your avatar a game sprite?

[Isis]

Nsg is your avatar a game sprite?

it's from oneshot

When I read this post, I simultaneously had never heard of this game and owned this game. The Bundle for Racial Justice is crazy.

[Isis]

Is this queue full

[Isis]

I want to play if it would not block someone from playing

[Isis]

oh

[Isis]

Wealthy

[Isis]

I think it's 45, the central action is important even with all these things added on.

I'm assuming it's light rain because it's hard for it to be semi-cold in heavy rain, like when it's cold and there's heavy rain it's just shiver city

[Isis]

I think the baseline should be zero? Sitting still is zero. You start lightly jogging and add 30

[Isis]

How dare you Menalque you clearly haven't played a seven combo lead with only 5 seconds move time.

[Isis]

guess: 45

[Isis]

I want to project my own personality flaws onto it constructive criticism delivered the best possible way leaves me catatonic

[Isis]

P sure that's what she said I want five

[Isis]

I think Auro has at least a vague idea of how amereuro we are and how we are eating chicken nuggets with the heinz ketchup that says "zesty ketchup" instead of "ketchup" and then screaming "mommy that's too spicy" and regurgitating them then crying into the bathtub and rolling around on the tile bathroom floor floor until we get so delirious we hallucinate and coca-cola santa solidifies above us and says "i am here to bless you" and pushes a drinking pouch towards us and we poke a sippycup sillystraw into the pouch and suck until the sugar wipes the mean bad bad spicyhot away and then we are ready for naptime

so we should vote 5

[Isis]

Yes

[Isis]

VOTE: Hectic

[Isis]

I was trusting Kanna and Kanna in particular to research for me accurately

[Isis]

right because he spent about 80% of his lifespan evil

[Isis]

I have some "flaws" but none of them result in me genociding lol

[Isis]

Datisi avatar is ominous

[Isis]

I give it a 53

[Isis]

Steal cell phone is evil

[Isis]

Kanna's avatar unbelievably innocent

[Isis]

Guess: Right

club penguin is pretty old, very early in the chat a bit play a bit era. But I think of Neopets as being kind of the same genre yet Neopets is even older. I want like 75

[Isis]

righto

[Isis]

Kanna got a new one!

[Isis]

[Isis]

<3 Kanna

[Isis]

is it mean that I imagine Datisi dropping his phone often enough to make this a 30

[Isis]

In a way this is kind of a 50

[Isis]

"unique" to me pushes towards common because all the iphone sheeple buy the same phone over and over

[Isis]

I missed this a bit sorry ^^;

[Isis]

Ive been drinking huel lately and it's lumpy the way expired milk is. Since I manage to finish the bottles I want to guess right

[Isis]

I've never drunk expired milk though. I don't drink milk ever.

[Isis]

Pooky's live reaction to the episode cracked me up. I laughed at my computer continuously rereading it for like half an hour. It made my entire year. It was so raw and perfect.

[Isis]

I thought I'd get pretty close to 90 even if no one went and watched the previous episodes, but I'd have an easier time if anyone decided to watch the anime from the beginning. The number of unfortunate events that happen in episode one and two is much lower which would improve guesses for episode 3.

Overall I was a little worried the optimism inherent to an anime of this genre would result in people guessing to the left of what I wanted, but as a self-imposed handicap I didn't want to use any anime that I really really like because I don't want people to spoil anime I really really like. Brynhildr in the Darkness is kind of mediocre; episode three is probably the best episode. So I don't mind people spoiling it too much.

I see "49 minutes left" and "paging Isis" and I don't think I got a PM although tbh maybe I did I get a lot of PMs these days it's hard ok

[Isis]

lemme read discussion

[Isis]

Ok enough people think right and I'm not adamant about it some parts of the debates in my mind say right

Guess right

[Isis]

Guess: 96

[Isis]

ahhh

[Isis]

thank you for the game!!
