8. Interfish?

n_palum

For the star one, does it have something to do with that conspiracy planet hitting earth soon?

dcfyj

I'd have to know the answer to answer that

n_palum

There's some planet.. I forget like Nibono or Nibuno or something

dcfyj

star 8?

n_palum

"Supposedly hitting Earth in October"

dcfyj

14:01

It says "star" though, a planet is not a star

n_palum

Well it's listed as a "Mystery"

I don't knoow

dcfyj

ah

People need to contact on things :P

(myself included)

n_palum

Sid/Techi are sparse, Gareth is part time, and Scon is afk for a few

dcfyj

Well, actually, gareth did contact speakers in code

n_palum

@GarethMcCaughan go for Speakers if you want

Just to move it along and I have no idea

dcfyj

14:03

Be back in a bit

Sconibulus

alright, back

n_palum

hiya

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum @Sconibulus I think the speakers are the NAVAJO Native Americans who were used as "code-talkers" in some war or other

Sconibulus

@GarethMcCaughan Correct!

n_palum

Oh very nice

Defending: N A

Gareth McCaughan

14:08

3. Newborn

n_palum

Still not letting me unpin

Gareth McCaughan

are interfish and jack-jack still alive?

n_palum

@GarethMcCaughan Not NEWBORN xD

Sconibulus

1 is dead: was Nemesis

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum er, NEWBORN doesn't begin NA

n_palum

14:09

Oh yea..

I've been on just N for a while I forgot

not NEONATE

Gareth McCaughan

NEONATE is also not the word I have in mind

Sconibulus

also not NA

n_palum

Oh asgdkjahg

I did it right away again

3. not NAPPER?

Gareth McCaughan

@dcfyj When you return, could you check whether your 7 and 8 are still valid?

@n_palum no, NAPPER is not my word

4. Iridescent substance

Sconibulus

@GarethMcCaughan contact

n_palum

14:13

@GarethMcCaughan not NACRECOUS or however it's spelled

for newborn - not NAMEABLE?

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum That's an adjective and "Iridescent substance" is a noun phrase

Sconibulus

5. confused: did you mean ____

Gareth McCaughan

but my word was NACRE and I suppose I should let you have that

6. One of Nine

n_palum

Oh gee thanks

xD

Gareth McCaughan

anyway, the newborn is not NAMEABLE, sorry

n_palum

14:14

agh if Scon is contact on newborn he can go for it

Sconibulus

3: Nascent?

Gareth McCaughan

Yup, NASCENT is correct. 'Nother letter please, n_palum!

n_palum

Ooo

Defending: N A P

Gareth McCaughan

my 6 is dead (was NAZGUL)

n_palum

Oo I just started thinking LoTR for you

Gareth McCaughan

14:16

4. Sticky flammable substance

Sconibulus

5 is dead, was nagaram

Gareth McCaughan

Is that a word?

n_palum

not NAPALM

Gareth McCaughan

and if not, how could anyone have got it even if they guessed you wanted an anagram of anagram?

Sconibulus

Google constantly tells me it is

Gareth McCaughan

14:17

yeah, NAPALM was my 4

Sconibulus

if you type anagram, it always asks "did you mean nagaram" so I thought an anagram indicator might clue sufficiently

Gareth McCaughan

oh!

(it turns out it's actually "nag a ram" that it suggests, of course)

Sconibulus

oh, oops, forgot about the spaces

Gareth McCaughan

5. Pirates' tool

Sconibulus

6. Sticky flammable substance

n_palum

14:19

There aren't many NAP words so

Sconibulus

(that isn't napalm)

Gareth McCaughan

contact 6 @Sconibulus

n_palum

I believe scon has it

shoot Gareth

Gareth McCaughan

NAPHTHA

I think I got the right number of "H"s

n_palum

Bingo

You did

Continent's hand acts like naphtha. (6)

Gareth McCaughan

14:21

It might work, but note that the name "napalm" is actually derived from naphtha so best avoided

n_palum

Also I can only pin - not letting me unpin/unstar

Gareth McCaughan

actually, not quite from naphtha but from something closely related

n_palum

Yeah they're related but not exactly the same so wasn't sure if it counted

Gareth McCaughan

I've unstarred everything.

n_palum

TY

Gareth McCaughan

14:22

It's not that it would be illegitimate, but it's kinda bad taste

a bit like rhyming a word with itself, or another word too similar to it.

(like, I dunno, FORWARD with HENCEFORWARD)

n_palum

Fair enough

@Sconibulus You are eligible to defend, should you want it

Sconibulus

I could, but it seems like we only have three at the moment

n_palum

dc is supposedly returning

@GarethMcCaughan What was this one?

Sconibulus

Yeah, and hopefully Sid or Tech will come back

Sconibulus defending: B

Ankoganit

woo a game is on?

dcfyj

14:29

Jack-Jack was Normal and interfish was Net

n_palum

Allow you to see further

@Ankoganit Yes

dcfyj

@n_palum contact

Sconibulus

@n_palum Binoculars

n_palum

@dcfyj How is Jack-Jack normal?

Correct

Bird played for their team

dcfyj

@n_palum "The only one that's normal is Jack-Jack and he's not even toilet trained!"

n_palum

14:31

But he isn't actually normal xD

Lover of both genders and treasure hunters

dcfyj

Quote reference, he was normal at the time. We only find out he isn't normal at the end of the film

n_palum

Fair enough :P

Sconibulus

@n_palum Boston Celtics?

n_palum

Correct!

dcfyj

Germans according to someone else

n_palum

14:35

Storm

Sconibulus

@n_palum ignoring the second half, I think BISEXUAL, but that's probably wrong

n_palum

Wrong - you need second half

Sconibulus

@dcfyj Barbarians?

dcfyj

yes

Sconibulus

@n_palum Bast?

I have a vague recollection of him as an Egyptian god of something weather related

dcfyj

14:37

Muscle

Sconibulus

@dcfyj the Biceps of Compassion

Ankoganit

@dcfyj contact

oh nvm

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum The pirates' tool was NAPSTER (though of course it had legal uses as well as being used for sharing illegally copied music).

dcfyj

@Sconibulus That's wrong, I have no idea what the heck that is

n_palum

Oh nice one ^^

And no, not BAST

@Sconibulus Bast is an Egyptian Goddess who is all about cats and I think protection

Sconibulus

14:39

@dcfyj hmm, if not Bicep, then perhaps Bulk, or Built?

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum I was about to say the same about Bast :-)

dcfyj

@Sconibulus Nope

Star muscle?

n_palum

@Gareth I'd say great mind's think alike, but your mind is a thousand leagues ahead of mine

Contact muscle

dcfyj

@n_palum Who?

n_palum

You

dcfyj

14:40

Lol, how so?

n_palum

or do you mean the minds

dcfyj

I'm talking about the minds

n_palum

Fixed

dcfyj

ah

Sconibulus

Muscle could be Bodyguard?

dcfyj

14:42

nope

Sconibulus

alright, I'll pass on Muscle

dcfyj

Looks Like I got a good word :P

Gareth McCaughan

1. Like untrustworthy generals?

n_palum

Contact on generals ^

dcfyj

@GarethMcCaughan Contact I think

Sconibulus

14:42

1. Benedictine?

dcfyj

@n_palum muscle was passed

Gareth McCaughan

no, not BENEDICTINE

n_palum

@dcfyj My only guess for another muscle type (which is probably not what you're thinking of) BRACHIALIS

dcfyj

Sadly no

Pretty sure you were the only contact

n_palum

I think so

Gareth McCaughan

14:44

2. Crooked old Scandinavian grandmaster

dcfyj

T'was Brawn

n_palum

Ehhhhhh

Sconibulus

@GarethMcCaughan BACKSTABBING?

dcfyj

@n_palum ?

Gareth McCaughan

nope, not BACKSTABBING

n_palum

14:44

Uncontact generals then ^

@dcfyj Muscle works I just don't usually think of it as a def for Brawn even though it technically is

Gareth McCaughan

3. Search engine to note when drinking too much

dcfyj

My contact is still up

n_palum

Contact 3, search engine

dcfyj

@n_palum This is contact, it doesn't have to be a definition :P

n_palum

Yeah yeah

Sconibulus

14:46

3. BINGE

Gareth McCaughan

@Sconibulus yup, BINGE is correct

dcfyj

Sconibulus

14:46

@Sid BOSS

Gareth McCaughan

contact @dcfyj March

Sconibulus

@dcfyj Brutus

Sid

Yep.

dcfyj

yes

Sconibulus

14:47

is 1. perhaps Brutal?

Gareth McCaughan

I would have been 50/50 on whether to say BRUTUS or BRUTE on dcfyj's, by the way :-)

Sid

(Don't mind anyone if I interfere or if I don't respond. I am at home. So, I might have to run errands or interact with parents or eat!)

Gareth McCaughan

@Sconibulus no, 1 is not BRUTAL

n_palum

Butted head with Olivia in South American country (7)

dcfyj

@GarethMcCaughan Either one would be valid, really

Sconibulus

14:47

Pass on 1.

Gareth McCaughan

contact @n_palum butted

n_palum

I know it's not great but eh I'm trying my hand when I can

dcfyj

1. I was thinking Brutus for this as well actually

Gareth McCaughan

@dcfyj I think you had contact on my 1

oh. no, not Brutus.

It was BYZANTINE, a reference to a famous problem in computer science.

Sconibulus

@n_palum Bolivia

dcfyj

14:48

This should be easy Eggs

Gareth McCaughan

contact @dcfyj eggs

Sconibulus

n_palum

Correct Bolivia

Sconibulus

ahh, right

dcfyj

14:49

GEGS

:P

n_palum

Constantinople

Gareth McCaughan

is that a serious challenge or merely a reference to a famous clue?

Sconibulus

@n_palum Byzantium

Gareth McCaughan

(sorry, that was @dcfyj)

n_palum

Right

Gareth McCaughan

14:50

3. Cowshed

dcfyj

@GarethMcCaughan Mine? yes, it's serious, although misleading

Gareth McCaughan

@dcfyj OK

dcfyj

@GarethMcCaughan contact

Sconibulus

@GarethMcCaughan Barn

Gareth McCaughan

@Sconibulus not BARN

dcfyj

14:50

I rescind my contact then

Sconibulus

Bullpen?

Gareth McCaughan

@Sconibulus not BULLPEN either

4. Harrison (fictional)

5. Harrison (real)

dcfyj

lol

n_palum

@GarethMcCaughan Contact 5 - I am probably wrong though

dcfyj

Mr. Mcgruff with crime

Gareth McCaughan

14:51

I was going to put just "Harrison" but then I suddenly realised there was at least one equally plausible other :-).

Sconibulus

5. Benjamin, or Bill?

Gareth McCaughan

@Sconibulus Neither BENJAMIN nor BILL

Sconibulus

@dcfyj Biter?

dcfyj

yes

Gareth McCaughan

6. Subject of snaky dream

Sconibulus

14:54

I'll pass on 5. Harrison

dcfyj

No contact on it

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum what was your guess on Real Harrison?

n_palum

Barnes

XD

dcfyj

Oh, nvm

n_palum

I forgot you are from UK so that's wrong

Gareth McCaughan

14:54

Nope, not Barnes. I was thinking of the English composer Harrison BIRTWISTLE.

n_palum

Yeah my guess was an Athlete, yours is a composer Yay cultural differences

dcfyj

Johann Sebastian

Gareth McCaughan

contact @dcfyj Johann

Sconibulus

@dcfyj Bach

dcfyj

yes

n_palum

14:55

You've still left Storm up there

Gareth McCaughan

was it solved?

n_palum

Also I can take the lover one down - it's kinda obscure

No but it's easy

dcfyj

Not that I saw

Gareth McCaughan

I think they should stay until solved or invalidated.

n_palum

I feel like lover is unfair that's all

It's more of an internet joke/urban dictionary style word

Gareth McCaughan

14:57

I guess you can withdraw it if you want to

dcfyj

Pretty sure its a reference

Sconibulus

there are no active contacts, right?

n_palum

A bit yeah.. I just don't wanna post more clues but those have been up for 20+

dcfyj

@Sconibulus Not at the moment

Gareth McCaughan

1. To forbid in France, he said, would be criminal (6)

dcfyj

14:58

We're overflowng

n_palum

^

Gareth McCaughan

Clearly my clues are too hard and I should stop :-)

n_palum

Cough Gareth

Gareth McCaughan

contact @n_palum storm

n_palum

Yay

dcfyj

14:59

lol

n_palum

Oh someone did take down the Lover one

Gareth McCaughan

I think

dcfyj

Don't think so
