@GarethMcCaughan POME+GRAN[-i+A]TE
omg.
I looked at that even. I'm an idiot :)
Yup! (I thought I should make this one easier than the last. I like the way the surface came out.)
I liked that a lot :) I knew what the solution was going to look like even, but somehow didn't catch that.

@GarethMcCaughan SUPERVILLAIN is S( UP(-p)ER + VILLA )IN
or possibly some variation on UP(land)ER, UP(town)ER, or meh
18:44
Correct! (The first version: UPPER=superior, UP(-p)ER = heartless superior. The second "being" doesn't mean "entity", it means "in the state of being [... stood beside ...]".)
Yeah I figured, but thought I'd cover an extra base there :)
I wondered about making the supervillain heartless instead of evil but decided I preferred parallelism to outright repetition.

Super enemies found fish, ditched the angsty teen, gained endless memes in Utah national park. (11) [heh]
That's too terrible to take seriously. I don't do themes well.
A real CCCC coming soon.

Q: logical-deduction vs logic-theory

Ola StrömWhat's the difference between the tags logical-deduction and logic-theory? Are they both needed? And if they are, wouldn't it make more sense for them to both start with either logical- or logic-?

CCCC: Use a sneaky maneuver to follow me back. (6)
oops
19:19
Does "oops" mean that an earlier version of the clue was wrong (I see it's been edited) or that there's something still wrong? (For obvious reasons, I don't want to look at the clue's history.)
well, anyway, the answer is EM+PLOY
I can't count.
I had (5).
ah, fair enough
And yes of course.
oh, damn it, now I have to write another one
Yes, yes, that happens
19:24
CCCC: Use a sneaky maneuver to find a hymnodist (6)
(not a great clue by any means, just being thematic again)
uper enemies found fish, ditched the angsty teen, gained endless memes in Utah national park. (11) was of course ARCHNEMESES - i'll let you sort out the details if you care.
hey @PiIsNot3 :)
Hey @Rubio :)
Your edit-rollback was, like, within 20 seconds of my comment. I was like "whoa"
Yeah, my face is pretty much glued to the screen
hehe - well, again thanks for helping with moderation activities, every bit helps; it's just unfortunate that editing a post from Review will actually unilaterally knock it out of the review queue, so in trying to improve a post that still isn't going to cut it, you might prevent the review process from seeing it swiftly to an appropriate deletion or whatever
One of the lesser understood site mechanics, alas.
19:37
Sure, I’ll keep that in mind :)
I kinda figured that out with the first post queue, actually
I guess I’ll be more careful with my reviews in the future
Danke

Q: One word riddle: Vowel in the middle

DEEMI am a simple word To me Add a single letter, it will make the opposite of me To me Add a different letter, it will create my homophone To me Add a different letter, and I won't be so good Can you guess?

20:38
So, like ... What words Atbash plus Caesar cipher to other words? ... I think we need to do something with this question, or Muumuu is going to keep adding new answers for every caesar shift there is. Short of declaring the question itself off-topic, which I'm actually strongly inclined to do, is there anything else meaningful we can do with it? All suggestions welcome.
Just let him do it? It seems fairly harmless. Downvote 'em if you think that on net they add negative value to PSE.
(If it starts looking as if we're going to have a bunch of similar questions, then some more drastic action might be needed.)
could that question be considered too broad?
well, yes - i mean, it's basically a list question
at this point, it's less of a puzzle and more of a scripting challenge.
I don't foresee of the answers getting a checkmark
21:09
In case anyone's having trouble parsing Rubio's ARCHNEMESES above, it's ARCHES containing NEMO minus EMO plus (-m)EMES.
I did say it was too terrible to take seriously. :)

@RupertMorrish (sigh) You edited a post shortly after I'd just asked folks not to edit posts that couldn't be salvaged with superficial edits because that can kick them out of Review - and of course, your edit kicked it out of Review where it had nearly reached quorum for rightful deletion.
