@n_palum Personally I didn't remember, but algebra has a ton of -MORPHISMs and I remembered that was one (even though I forgot what its definition was)

Sconibulus

I'm up at least through the end of the Leafs/Caps game :)

n_palum

02:01

Have fun all! Don't ever be shy to pop in and ask around for a game (I lurk here a lot)

boboquack

That's enough, 4 INs and 2 IN-ishes

Sp3000

I'm in

n_palum

@Sp3000 I didn't even know the math bit - I was purely going for the body type definition

xnor

so ... game or not?

boboquack

@xnor seeing as you clued the word too but Deus is I and O (~~put~~), you want to defend?

xnor

02:03

letter is D

i'll need help with the stars

I'm guessing DENIED

Sconibulus

403: Denied

xnor

02:09

aah, nice

letters are D I

anything stands?

Sconibulus

don't think so

Silenus

Simple machine has died (was DOORSTOP)

Sconibulus

I had Dowager

xnor

i would not have remembered that term

@Silenus that's funny given that the door itself is a lever

Sconibulus

@Silenus digits

Silenus

Yes

xnor

02:16

@Sconibulus dingbat / bing dat?

Sconibulus

@xnor correct

Sp3000

Nice :P (but yeah the "weird" comment was because "that slangs" sounds weird for "that in slang" and DINGBAT is a dumb person, rather than "dumb")

boboquack

NEWS

xnor

i'm not assuming a cryptic clue level of exactness here

Sconibulus

yeah, it wouldn't pass Deus muster, but he went to bed, so neener neener neener

@boboquack directions

Sconibulus

@boboquack contact

boboquack

@xnor Correct

@Sconibulus No, he's doing his CS homework

xnor

nobody has contact on "Mostly talk about sport (?)" yet, right?

Deusovi

@Sconibulus I'M ALWAYS WATCHING

xnor

boboquack

02:20

@Deusovi Reply button slipped away from under your mouse/cursor?

xnor

now I have to understand the sport (?)

Deusovi

starboard didn't load fully for me

Sp3000

@Sconibulus Correct - clearly couldn't care concerning Contact cryptic correctness, but I figured I might as well comment in case someone learning picks up bad habits :P

boboquack

@Deusovi There's only 4 things on the starboard

Deusovi

yes, and I only saw 3 of them

boboquack

02:21

Pickle type

xnor

@boboquack dill

boboquack

@xnor Correct (hoping you would think it's programmy)

Sconibulus

Average result, face down in the ground

xnor

for "Mostly talk about sport (?)", discuss/discus?

Sp3000

DISCUS is correct

xnor

02:22

mostly is clue to cut off?

boboquack

Sum of unit fractions, unlike that of those without 9s

Sp3000

Yeah - there might be better indicators, but it was just the first thing I thought of

Deusovi

@boboquack contact

Sp3000

Contact bobo

Silenus

Pass a random number generator

xnor

02:26

@Sconibulus that's a nice clue

Sp3000

Note to self: Dijkstra contains IJK

Sconibulus

xnor

@boboquack dimple?

boboquack

02:27

@xnor Correct

@Deus is that a good clue or not?

Sconibulus

@Silenus contact

xnor

@Silenus diehard!

i almost forgot about those

Sconibulus

Found in Mt. Moon

Silenus

-1 on DIEHARD (how are you parsing the clue?)

xnor

(tsk, all lthese CS clues against someone whose avatar is a logic gate :-)

Deusovi

02:28

@boboquack heh, I like it

Sp3000

Urgh, my guess was also DIEHARD

xnor

that's surprising

diehard is a famous suite of randomness verification tests

Sp3000

(also accidentally cleared that star while clearing DIMPLE)

xnor

@Silenus die?

Deusovi

it's not a perfect cryptic clue, but it's cute

Silenus

02:29

Yes on DIE (ddef).

xnor

aah

@Sconibulus discovery?

Sconibulus

@xnor nope

boboquack

@Deusovi Yeah, the words at the end need to be cut off, but it was for the surface reading. (I suppose I could take 'about it' off, but after posting couldn't take it down without giving a meta-clue)

Ice cube = ? of cold

boboquack

xnor

@boboquack die?

boboquack

@xnor yep

Sp3000

xnor

Sp3000

02:33

Drive

Silenus

A regional way of speaking

xnor

boboquack

Off for now

xnor

Sconibulus

Sp3000

Hmm Deus' is hard :P

xnor

ok, i pass on the drive one

Sp3000

... DIVER (?)

xnor

haha

Deusovi

02:38

ha!

xnor

is that it? i like it either way

Sp3000

Wait for Scon maybe, but it seems like something they might do

Sconibulus

Yep

xnor

congrats!

i was way off

letters are D I A

Sconibulus

I wanted something that looked computery but wasn't :)

Sp3000

xnor

02:40

@Sp3000 diameter!

Sconibulus

oh, Mt. Moon was Diglett

Sp3000

Yup

xnor

sly, i was thinking of music

@Sconibulus is Mt. Moon a pokemon town?

Deusovi

it's a Pokemon mountain

Sp3000

I thought it was DIG because TM/HM but wasn't sure (it probably isn't there :P)

Sconibulus

02:41

oh, average result was DIVERT

Deusovi

anyway, my clue died

Sconibulus

EV, backwards, in DIRT

Sp3000

What was it Deus?

Deusovi

"_X_" means "take letters on both sides of X", and the rest was "add to DI, then split the first"

WY --> DIWY --> DIVVY

Sconibulus

Hydrogen

xnor

02:42

@Sconibulus diatomic?

that can't be right

Sconibulus

@xnor yep

xnor

oh, right H_2

Silenus

@Deusovi contact

xnor

@Deusovi diabetes??

Deusovi

nope

Sp3000

I'll leave Deus' to Sil :P (only have half of it atm)

Sconibulus

@Silenus highly questionable contact

xnor

02:51

@Silenus might as well try on the film: diary?

Silenus

Not DIARY.

Deusovi

(5, 2, 1, 5, 3)

Sconibulus

Genetic-sounding

xnor

@Deusovi is that a new clue?

Deusovi

yep

xnor

02:52

@Deusovi diary of a wimpy kid

Deusovi

yep :P

Sp3000

!? wow fast

xnor

i had diary in mind already

Deusovi

I should've waited for a bit

xnor

still thinking about "Eat around a girl with a low voice, humming (?)"

ok, i pass on that one

Deusovi

02:54

@Silenus?

Silenus

DI(AL TO)NE

Deusovi

bingo!

xnor

aaah

Sconibulus

oooh, pretty good

xnor

nice one

Deusovi

02:54

thanks :D

xnor

and DIAL is my word, i'll give to to you

Sconibulus

my comms tech was dial too :)

Sp3000

And here I was thinking DIANE was a girl with a low voice humming in some pop culture ref

Sconibulus

genetic-sounding was diarreah

xnor

@Sconibulus i don't get that one

Deusovi

02:55

I'm sorry in advance for this, but:

Sconibulus

it runs in your jeans

Deusovi

ah

I was gonna make that joke

D:

Sp3000

:P

xnor

wow, DI(AL TO)NE is so elegant, i'm still amazed

Deusovi

thanks! I came up with it off the top of my head

xnor

02:56

isn't alto a high voice though?

Deusovi

high male or low female

xnor

ah

Silenus

Hitchcock film was DIAL M FOR MURDER.

Sconibulus

it's confusing, because I think it translates to 'high'

xnor

@Silenus i thought that might be it, but didn't want to give away my word if wrong

everyone was cluing DIAL at the same time :-)

Deusovi

02:59

I'm glad DI(ALTO)NE worked out so nicely though

boboquack

I'm back for now, is the game still going?

xnor

nope, game finished

boboquack

I like dial tone!

Deusovi

Thanks :D

Yeah, we just finished a game

boboquack

Oh, I see now

xnor

03:06

it looks like we're done for today?

unless someone wants to start another?

maybe one of the many people cluing "dial" in some form

Deusovi

I'm still semi-busy

@Silenus, @Sconibulus, anyone else whose name fits the pattern s...s?

(or even someone who doesn't fit that)

Sconibulus

eh, I think I should probably go to bed

Sp3000

I don't mind personally, not sure if we have enough people though

xnor

i'm done the night

good games!

Deusovi

yeah, nice having you here!

boboquack

03:08

I'm here if we're still playing

Deusovi

we have 3

well, 2+1/2

since I'm still supposed to be doing CS homework

boboquack

Homework is not on-topic for this site :P

Rubio

04:15

Aww. I missed all the fun. :(

n_palum

12:09

Poor Rubio

Beastly Gerbil

12:31

The problem with being british is that you have to get up at midnight if you want to be involved... :/

n_palum

Yeah I am not a huge fan of the 0000 UTC time

I mean that's only 2000 UTC for me, so 8PM but I know it's hard on Gareth or you

But the Australians have a huge differential.. like it's 840AM for me and Bobo went to sleep a bit ago

Beastly Gerbil

its 1:40pm here

n_palum

Welp if you round people up today I am around for a while

If you wanted to play since you didn't last night that is

Beastly Gerbil

everyone is probably asleep now :P

It was 2 am when the previous game was going on, at least for me

n_palum

12:47

Was 11PM my time when it ended - then Rubio chimed in a bit after midnight

It's been over 8 hours since, plenty of sleep time

Sconibulus

13:24

can confirm, have slept

n_palum

Diddo

Beastly Gerbil

15:26

'Star limit is 20 stars per room, per day for each user.'

^ for future games

n_palum

Really? It's that little

I thought it was a little more than that.. but it explains running out of stars

Rubio

Let's just rotate rooms. *cough*

n_palum

What do you mean?

Are you implying to rotate from TSL to here for a game? XD

Rubio

Nah. Have rooms "Contact 1" through "Contact 12" and cycle through them. :)

And no - I'm absolutely not actually suggesting we do that

n_palum

Haha that'd get kinda tricky I think

Welp if people meander in and end up wanting to play today I'm around
