1:00 AM

ok so fair warning I have to leave in like 15min

@Rubio -1, doesn't begin with BIT.

I think you mean bitwhatthe.

this clue's been around waaaayy too long :)

vampire leavings

Bitemarks

1:00 AM

+1

(or bite marks)

So, clue update?

Mine?

#1 Contact to 'partial' by @Vol (cheeky)

#2 So +2 in a browser

oh, those are clues?

1:03 AM

Yeah

naughty and nice

boboquack has added Alconja to the list of this room's owners.

I think that should cover most time zones

such responsibility

so responsibility. very power. much timezones. wow.

1:05 AM

contact alconja maybe

that seems to be missing something .. better.

@boboquack Aren't you and Alconja in roughly the same timezone? Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else?

Contact Alconja (maybe)

Roughly, but Alconja usually populates chat at a different time to me, I've noticed

@Alconja passing on this. Feels like I should know it, but I'm drawing a blank.

Kinda like @Deus did a bit ago.

bitter-sweet?

1:07 AM

+1

nice.

@Volatility Yep, that was my thought too.

@Rubio defending: B I T T

Woo, one more letter!

I wasn't anywhere near that

1:07 AM

Heron

Bitton?

contact

Nope

what's the name of that ...

damnit

Bittern?

Yeah.

1:08 AM

@Rubio yep.

that's it, yes?

that hurt hehe

Any of the previous still standing btw?

My μ clue

@bobo?

Yellow, green and ? drink

bittorrent

1:08 AM

No

^ +1

for deus

that's correct

ah

Heroness

:P

1:09 AM

Wow, feels like I've unstarred more things in this room today than I ever have before.

nice.

contact

Nothing standing I mean

Bitterness

yep

1:09 AM

that was pretty :)

Thank you!

Yep.

...I'm out of words.

Yeah, me too.

I'm almost ready to hunt online for "words beginning with BITT".

Luckily I've still got one standing then

1:10 AM

@boboquack Bitters? i have no idea

+1

lol. Another rectal pull

@boboquack Your #1 and #2 are invalidated?

Yeah

heh, was just about to clue the same thing

1:11 AM

I don't understand the color references at all

Lemon, lime

Oh. I see

#1 was bit late

:/

@Rubio Would you tell us if there was a space in the middle?

1:12 AM

#2 (I realise this was clued wrong) but biting

I.e. could it be "bit t[...]", or must it be "bitt[...]"?

Of my word? It's a single word. It has to be Scrabble legal.

Righty-ho.

(well, excluding availability of tiles anyway)

...

So, is it scrabble legal with tile constraints...?

1:13 AM

Squashed vowels changed

So what are the rules on looking up word lists??

^ not sure if valid

Word and Antonym

Hi @stacks!

You shouldn't use word lists or internet

1:13 AM

___.____ Beat, Core, or Runner

Scrabble legal, no tile constraints.

Hello!

@Alconja No use of online tools allowed, I think.

Contact for Deusovi

Woo!

1:13 AM

I think you're allowed to verify your word is a word, but you can't find words by looking for them that way

@Randal'Thor Cool. Figured, but wanted to check since I'm out of ideas.

kk

ok sorry I fell behind

Yeah, I think I have contact on @deus too

meh. I'm out of time.

@Deusovi pass on this

D:

1:15 AM

? dry dry

Stacks?

BIT.TRIP

yep

(It's a game)

(it's a video game, Rubio)

1:15 AM

No wonder.

I'm getting desperate :P

@Rubio Gissanother letter! :-)

ok I'm going to jump this ahead because otherwise this will be stupid

If you're going, can I guess whether the word is bittersweet?

Already guessed

1:16 AM

@Rubio defending: B I T T E R H

Ah ok

@stacksfiller That was already mentioned.

...what

Yeah I don't think I know the word

nope, me either

1:16 AM

You should not do obscure words

?

I didn't think it was that obscure, but from the guesses so far (and that reaction) I guess I am wrong

When you make the word, if people don't know it, they pretty much have to guess all the letters so it gets dumb

Oh, okay then

since I have to go anyway

Mine was bitten

1:17 AM

I'm going to award it to the person who pushed the last letter out of me

A sour feeling of hope

(easy one since I've no idea whether that's actually a word)

bittersweetness?

Contact

You gave an H already

Contact

oh wait duh

1:18 AM

@Rubio No H in that.

Ok then nevermind - I think @rand probably has it

I'll pass to let someone confirm

No idea.

@bobo?

bitterhope?

That's what I was thinking of.

1:19 AM

That's what I was going to guess

yeah that's not it

Like I said, no idea whether it's actually a word.

so it'll go to @Deusovi ... the word was bitterhearted

Oh

gotta run, i'll be on mobile but not really able to play

1:19 AM

Scrabble legal, my ass.

@Deusovi :-P

Deusovi is in a temper.

Yeah I just looked it up and it isn't!

@stacks, @rand, your two starred clues?

@boboquack Bitternut (from butternut squash).

Oh that was BITTERSWEET

1:20 AM

user image

@Deusovi Yeah, that's what I was saying

Do we have to ban people from defending in Contact too?

Only odd because he specified Scrabble-legal

Personally I think it's not as bad if the main word is obscure as if one of the clue words is obscure.

Also odd because there are under 4k Google results for it.

1:21 AM

At least you can reconstruct it letter by letter if necessary, given enough time.

user image

gets a hit in this scrabble list: litscape.com/word_tools_scrabble_uncensored/…

Reminds me of a few days ago

A few of my friends asked if I wanted to go to an "afterniner"

Which they insisted meant an afternoon meal

Less than 20 results on google with quotes

Anyway, are you going to start a new game?

Oh. Sure, I guess

I'll try to make it shorter

Deusovi defending, first letter F

@Randal'Thor That was for stacks

@boboquack Yeah, but why? I didn't get it.

Oh right.

I thought it was for the keyboard thing.

1:29 AM

No, it's not flue

No

@boboquack Why?

That's what they sell as flake in a fish and chips shop

1:32 AM

ah, regionalisms

Oh, sorry

Anyway, you didn't lose anything

befuzzle

Found in Enza

...yes, Vol

It's flummox

oh cool!

1:33 AM

Nice :P

Woo!

Vol, what did you have for mine?

flowchart?

My #2 was 0123456789=>digits=>fingers

@boboquack ...FL

1:33 AM

It was supposed to be FL

Hmm not quite, flyweight

@Deusovi Oh... I forgot.

:O

@boboquack :-/

*Florgot

@Sp3000 oh, hadn't heard of that

1:34 AM

:-D

Oh well, your turn Vol

Any clues on my (late) one?

might as well bring back my unfinished word

@Randal'Thor Deusovi?

@Volatility +1

1:40 AM

:D

Blue?

username is blue

since I'm a mod

AFK for a bit

@stacksfiller Look at his name in chat.

Oh, I see

1:41 AM

Hah nice

no idea on Sp's

Detonate

^

Lost

@Deusovi Why?

1:42 AM

It's a reference to a game

KTANE

(video game called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, in which you attempt to defuse a bomb without a manual, and your teammate with the manual can't see the bomb)

Hmm shoot was too ambiguous on that one, I had DEFUSE in mind

D:

My bad :/

Aww

1:43 AM

bombmanual.com/manual/1/pdf/Bomb-Defusal-Manual_1.pdf

I thought of detonate as well

Here's the manual if you want a taste of what the game is like

@Sp3000 Seems like that makes much more sense, given what Deusovi just explained.

I'm much more used to losing than winning. :P

Anyway, my clue still stands

Possible contact on Sid

1:44 AM

Wait, my latest clue is probably,in English terms, wrong.

Naked and expelled

@Sid is it deserted?

I've updated my clue

No

I have a thought for Deus but it's not giving me a DE word

1:48 AM

Then your thought is definitely wrong

OK, I need to sleep. Ignore that last clue. It's probably wrong

@sp what was your guess?

For Sid's? It was just deserted as well

oh ok

I had defeated in mind

1:50 AM

ah

Oh, that works!

They makes sense

nvm

(keep in mind that the original clue had ^ )

#2 ****!

@Deusovi ^

1:55 AM

?

I like KTANE

Can someone star my clue?

Thx

An accomplishment, truly

@Deusovi I challenged myself to memorise the manual. Who's on first was the killer, but it helped me heaps with some of the Exotic bombs

(I didn't succeed)

Whoa, you memorized it?

Oh

No, almost all of it, but not the who's on first

Then I forgot because I stopped playing
