n_palum

@Rubio Couldn't decide on paragon or embodiment - fair point though

Kritixi Lithos

Beastly Gerbil

n_palum

Contact 4 lol

Beastly Gerbil

Beastly Gerbil

@Rubio to look things up

G_as_in_Gnome

contact 9 i think

Rubio

nope. no research. your head or nothin'

Leaky Nun

I guess I really shouldn't defend next time. There's practically no clue that I have any idea about.

Rubio

5:32 PM

@MistahFiggins is 5 still alive?

Beastly Gerbil

You were here for mine I think

n_palum

Contact 1, 2 also

Leaky Nun

@BeastlyGerbil can you confirm 3?

Beastly Gerbil

oh yeah

Rubio

@LeakyNun Use the numbers, not links, please. Much easier to see what clue you're answering.

Leaky Nun

5:33 PM

I did say 3.

Rubio

3 mins ago, by Leaky Nun

@BeastlyGerbil not EVENTUALLY

Kritixi Lithos

@Phoenix age of empires?

G_as_in_Gnome

G_as_in_Gnome

9 is dead right?

Phoenix

Beastly Gerbil

5:36 PM

4 dead

Leaky Nun

@Rubio how is it down the road?

Beastly Gerbil

was EVEN

Kritixi Lithos

I really should play some DnD

Phoenix

Take no damage on a successful reflex save if you would otherwise take half damage

Rubio

"down the road" is idiomatic; it can be distance, and it can be time

G_as_in_Gnome

5:36 PM

@n_palum 9's dead right?

Kritixi Lithos

@LeakyNun my guess was eventually as well

Beastly Gerbil

1: Christianity branch

G_as_in_Gnome

Rubio

2: Resolve an expression

G_as_in_Gnome

or never mind some room owner is gonna take over :')

contact 2

Kritixi Lithos

5:38 PM

Is it possible for the defending letters to be the entire word? Like is it possible for Leaky's word to just be eva?

Rubio

Yes

ffao

bandwagon contact 1,2

G_as_in_Gnome

3: it's worth the past tense of eat

Rubio

if the defender runs out of letters and loses a contact, they're done

Leaky Nun

@BeastlyGerbil 1 is not EVANGELICAL or any form of that word

Kritixi Lithos

5:39 PM

Are proper nouns disallowed as defending words?

Beastly Gerbil

yes

Rubio

For defenders, the word must be Scrabble-legal : a single, non-proper-noun, real word

Phoenix

Does it have to be a noun

Beastly Gerbil

1: Liquid -> gas

no

Rubio

for attackers, they can clue anything they think the other attackers might guess and that the defender isn't hopelessly unable to know

Kritixi Lithos

5:39 PM

contact 1

Leaky Nun

@BeastlyGerbil 1 is not EVAPORATE

G_as_in_Gnome
