45: Integral over C without a C

5:09 AM

66: measure of knowledge

user165474

ok apparently not :P

46: Foreign band here

user165474

Lemme see... Well Integral without C suggests you're not adding +C to the end...

user165474

Integral over C?

user165474

C = Complex Numbers?

user165474

5:10 AM

(sorry, just drafting here)

that's fine

@WheatWizard contact

3: the development of an organism

user165474

Pass 46

5:11 AM

@HyperNeutrino Neither C is the complex numbers but complex numbers are involved

user165474

I see.

I don't think anyone has connected 46

@0' were you contacting 45 or 46?

contact 3

45

user165474

5:12 AM

Ok I give up, it's too late for me to think anymore, so pass 3.

user165474

Yes.

user165474

Bye!

7 hours later…

user165474

12:11 PM

Hello everyone :D

Hallo

Hullo

1:10 PM

Hai :)

user165474

Do we have people to start a game? Or did everyone leave?

How many are needed for a "good" game

4-5 is usually the best number

user165474

We have 3 right now.

And having someone who's a room owner around to pin stuff is usually pretty handy too

1:13 PM

We have 4 right now I think?

Assuming you both want to play and Antoine is also willing to play

user165474

I'm willing to play.

user165474

s/willing/wanting

I'll join in the fun

I can never make the weekend scheduled games cause of volunteering :(

I'm around to contribute sporadically.

user165474

1:17 PM

We seem to have 4 people now.

Okay you want to defend neutrino?

user165474

I defended last night, so if someone else wants to defend, go ahead, but I wouldn't mind

I haven't participated in an actual game before (just read the logs on the fun I missed) so I'd rather not defend on my first time

user165474

Alright.

user165474

@Sconibulus @Silenus You want to defend?

user165474

1:20 PM

Silenus said sporadically so maybe not

I have a (short) meeting in just over half an hour, so I'd rather not

user165474

Alright.

user165474

Then I guess I'll defend.

user165474

Hyper Neutrino defending A

1: Narrow passage between buildings

user165474

This one shouldn't take too long.

user165474

user165474

1:22 PM

4. Alcohol

3: yep

4: yep

Things that'll help: Number you clues, when you contact, say the number as well, don't overwhelm the defender with clues, and star other people's clues that have not been guessed so they are on the board to the right (makes it easier to track)

contact 2

5: edible plant with a heart

user165474

Starred 2. terminator

user165474

1:23 PM

5. Artichoke

contact 5

user165474

Next character:

user165474

HyperNeutrino defending A R

do old clues still count even after the new letters have been added?

If they are not busted @G_as_in_Gnome

1:27 PM

9's out :P

user165474

If the word still starts with the same letters, yes.

only if they're still valid with the new letters

user165474

ninja'd

okay yeah 9's out :')

assassin :P

1:27 PM

Obsolete clues should be announced by the poser.

But 2 should stand no?

yeah 2 stands

9 is out, unstar it :)

Contact 2 if other's haven't but I assume they have

Reminder: contact on 2.

6: Peacock progenitor(ish)

user165474

1:28 PM

Um what

7: packing

user165474

Pass 2. :(

If you don't know 2, and give up, you need to pass (it's generally a trend that if things are contacted for a while, you try to get them and pass if you cannot so that the game moves along)

ARNOLD S

not spelling his last name lol

user165474

Oh.

Yes n_palum :)

1:29 PM

user165474

no

user165474

similar? or completely different

1:34 PM

I don't recall hearing the word arboreal before

He only has to tell you if it's it or not, unless it's like a difference of plural or not

user165474

Alright.

user165474

Pass 9.

@Sconibulus you're up

9 Arboretum?

1:35 PM

yes

it was 50/50 between that and Arbor :)

user165474

Hm. Interesting. I've never seen that word before.

user165474

user165474

Hyper Neutrino defending A R B I

user165474

Okay. So 5 no, 2 yes

Right.

user165474

Hm.

user165474

Pass 5, this game is probably going to finish soon, but I have some stuff to finish so I'll just finish up this game.

my contacts still hold

arbitor on 5?

1:41 PM

5: Arbiter

or arbiter, however its spelled

user165474

Darn, I was going to guess that D:

user165474

as my first guess

user165474

rip

why didn't you?

user165474

1:42 PM

I thought it would be too similar to Arbitrator but actually, that's a good question, why didn't i

lol

user165474

rip :P

lol

user165474

Rule of Thumb: Always guess if you can.

yup

user165474

1:42 PM

:P

defending is hard though

5 was ARBITER yes

^

especially when you have 7+ people waiting on you

user165474

I see.

user165474

1:43 PM

Okay, new letter?

yup

yeah

user165474

Hyper Neutrino defending A R B I T

Even if they are stabs in the dark, guess

7 still stands

1:43 PM

Gareth is the king of that

user165474

Alright

still contact on 7

3 is live

still no contact on 3 :P

@Sconibulus contact on 3

1:44 PM

contact 3

user165474

well rip

user165474

Pass 3.

shoot i gtg for a bit

If you are confident that a clue has guessed your word and people contact it, just pass, no need to wait

neutrino can you pass/guess on 7 right before I go :)

1:46 PM

Just guess 3 @G_as_in_Gnome

3 is pending

user165474

I passed 3

i think silenus got it before me

doesn't matter, he can go after you

ARBITRATION

1:47 PM

Correct!

user165474

Oh hm.

user165474

For 3?

user165474

yup

aye

user165474

1:49 PM

Hyper Neutrino defending A R B I T R

@Sconibulus You're making think of Happy

Happy?

user165474

Is 7 still alive?

user image

^Happy

I'm pretty sure 7 is, but he may have left

user165474

@G_as_in_Gnome Is 7 still alive?

1:50 PM

oh crap... what's that word...

user165474

Yeah maybe left

user165474

It works with "Arbit"

9: Bridging Inefficient Markets

@HyperNeutrino What I think 7 is works with "arbitr"

@Sconibulus hesitant contact

user165474

1:52 PM

Is it a contact?

Yes

on 9? looks like it

user165474

Pass 9.

ARBITRAGE

user165474

Correct :D

1:52 PM

9: yep

sorry if my definition was dumb

user165474

You win :D Congrats

That was your word I take it

I only half remember it

user165474

Yes.

I'm guessing 7 was arbitrary

user165474

1:53 PM

Hm.

user165474

Maybe.

user165474

Anyway, I have to go finish up some schoolwork. See you all later! :D

Is basic really a def for Arbitrary

I can do a defense in about ten minutes, but I have a meeting in about now

if someone else wants to start, feel free

or if we're done for now, that's ok too

7 was arbitrary yes

had to go brush my teeth
