Rubio

9: It's not QUANTITY?

manshu

Rubio

Kritixi Lithos

I don't believe these are contacted

Kritixi Lithos

Rubio

if you like

Kritixi Lithos

9:45 AM

@LeakyNun is 2 specific to one game or a general clue for many games?

TheGreatEscaper

10:31 AM

Contact on 7

Rubio

ok pass on 7, no idea

TheGreatEscaper

Sp's not here to confirm, looks like

Sp3000

I'm here :P

TheGreatEscaper

but pretty sure it's Quiche

Sp3000

QUICHE is correct

Rubio

10:32 AM

yay, progress

Rubio defending: Q U I

Sp3000

4. -platoon?

Rubio

(for anyone who cares, this is a stand-in defense for manshu, who wanted a Q word, and we're at medium-hard difficulty. hehe)

TheGreatEscaper

1: Completely stop every start

Rubio

1: It's not QUIT

TheGreatEscaper

nope

Rubio

10:35 AM

1: it's not QUIESCE ?

contact 1

nope @rubio

1: It's not QUIET ?

nope!

okay then.

PASSING on 1, go for it @Ankoganit

Ankoganit

10:37 AM

QUIT+E_

TheGreatEscaper

You'll kick yourself, Rubio.

QUITE is correct!

Rubio

oh you guys and your cryptics. fine, I'll start looking for those again.

Ankoganit

lol

Sp3000

If it helps, I completely missed the fact that was a cryptic too

:P

Rubio

Rubio defending: Q U I C

Sp3000

10:38 AM

Well mine's gone ([s]PLATOON -> [s]QUID)

Rubio

Yeah well, this round started with non-native English speakers, so I have to reset my brain a little now hehe

G_as_in_Gnome

10. beach hazard

Ankoganit

5. Fasten?

Rubio

@numbermaniac @LeakyNun game's back in action if you're still anywhere around

TheGreatEscaper

Sp3000

10:39 AM

Contact 5

Contact on 5 as well

1: It's not QUICK

Nope

hmmmmm decisions decisions

ok fine.

PASS on 5

TheGreatEscaper

I believe it's QUICKEN

Ankoganit

10:41 AM

yup

Rubio

5 is quicksilver isn't it

and my word was QUICKENING, I'll give it to you at QUICKEN.

Ankoganit

@Rubio no

Rubio

er. sorry i meant 1, not 5

TheGreatEscaper

1 was quicksilver!

yup :)

Rubio

what was 10?

G_as_in_Gnome

10:41 AM

quicksand

Rubio

heh.

I didn't think that actually happens at beaches, but I see the point of the clue

G_as_in_Gnome

if I used definitions, i assumed you'd get it :')

Rubio

Probably a safe assumption. ;)

G_as_in_Gnome

so modest ;)

Rubio

although someone came up with "quisquous" earlier, a word I've never heard of

G_as_in_Gnome

10:44 AM

totally not googling it

TheGreatEscaper

Oh my, QUISQUOUS was the defenders word in a contact game I played a few days ago!

Ankoganit

I won't be here for long, so if there's another game, anyone feel free to defend

G_as_in_Gnome

are we playing again?

TheGreatEscaper

I'm free

Rubio

@TheGreatEscaper Seriously? That's a completely unfair word to use as the defender, unless your attackers have remarkable vocabularies

TheGreatEscaper

10:48 AM

We were a fairly well-versed group, some other defender words included MEPHISTOPHELES, PROGESTERONE, DENOUEMENT, etc.

G_as_in_Gnome

Is it only us 3 right now?

Ankoganit

O my

Rubio

lol. Mephistopheles, a proper noun, shouldn't even be a legal word as defender

but ok, different strokes for different folks

G_as_in_Gnome

Can we start another game :)

Ankoganit

sure

who defends?

Rubio

10:52 AM

not it :)

TheGreatEscaper

Not it!

G_as_in_Gnome

I'm not comfortable defending yet :P

TheGreatEscaper

Ah alright, I much prefer making rather than solving clues, so @Rubio would you be okay with another defending round or should I defend?

Rubio

meh. :)

another stand-in round, for Anko?

Fine - pick a starting letter

and do you want easy, medium, hard, or absurd :)

TheGreatEscaper

C or P

Ankoganit

10:55 AM

@Rubio :D

G_as_in_Gnome

absurdly easy? :-)

Rubio

Oh, I could do that hehe

I'm tired, so we'll go with C and easy

Rubio defending: C

G_as_in_Gnome

1. this

Rubio

1: It's not CONTACT, nor CLUE

TheGreatEscaper

2: X-mad

G_as_in_Gnome

10:57 AM

contact 2

Rubio

hm.

fine, PASS on 2, no idea

2: cross

CROSS is correct!

Oh ha

that's ... a really weird way to clue that

G_as_in_Gnome

10:59 AM

3. able to be the building block of the body

TheGreatEscaper

I like how the clue looks like a misspelled Xmas :)

Rubio

Rubio defending: C R

G_as_in_Gnome

oops nvm on 3 :")

TheGreatEscaper

Well, the defender word is absurdly easy, so I should make my clues easily absurd!

Rubio

not cellular. ;)

Leaky Nun

10:59 AM

1: :'(

G_as_in_Gnome

Rubio

1: It's not CRY

Sp3000
