Contact

@boboquack I've been improving my sleeping time recently, so I'm not going to be here too much longer. But if we're starting nowish, I may stay for one game at least.

@boboquack Probably too generic a phrase to pin down to a single source :-P

boboquack

11:48 PM

@Randal'Thor Aww... @Helka Homba or @n_palum, do you want to defend?

n_palum

Mmm If I am going to defend it'd only be this first round

boboquack

@n_palum Why not start now, then?

n_palum

Okay one sec

I'll think of a word

Rand al'Thor

(let's hope I can still remember how to play)

Helka Homba

@boboquack No, but I can attack in and out

boboquack

11:51 PM

@Rubio! We're starting!

Rubio

boboquack

Gareth McCaughan

Rubio

1: I'm thinking of a word that starts with F and ends with UCK

n_palum

If possible can we refrain from the +/- 1 as a response

@Rubio Contact! :D

Copy, or message

11:54 PM

I agree with n_palum. Explicit is better than implicit

@n_palum Why?

@Rubio contact

contact @Randal'Thor copy/message

Mistah Figgins

Helka Homba

11:54 PM

n_palum

Helka Homba

boboquack

Star as much as you can! We've got 6 minutes until it reloads!

Rubio

@n_palum If your word has 4 letters, it's not my word.

boboquack

11:55 PM

@MistahFiggins Contact

Rand al'Thor

@boboquack stars every message in the room

n_palum

Then nvm Rubio - just clarifying lol

not FIRETRUCK

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum FUNERAL is not the word I have in mind

n_palum

oh really? Hm

Mistah Figgins

@Rubio contact

boboquack

11:56 PM

Can we try to prefix clues with a number? It makes contacting and answer a lot easier (not a clue)

Rubio

1: Firetruck was it

Rand al'Thor

@n_palum Can you ping the people whose words you're guessing?

Gareth McCaughan

3 fancy free

Mistah Figgins

@Rubio I was gonna say that :(

Rubio

and yes, please - everyone prefix #: ...

n_palum

11:56 PM

Surely

Rubio

include the colon, so multi-starred things don't get confusing either

n_palum

@Randal'Thor not FACSIMILE

boboquack

2: Alphabetical number

Gareth McCaughan

aargh so many rules

Rand al'Thor

@n_palum +1

Deusovi

11:57 PM

@boboquack contact

n_palum

@boboquack not FOUR, FOURTY, FOURTEEN or any of those

or FIVE, FIFTEEN etc

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum I believe bobo's is not in fact quite any of those

contact @boboquack

Rubio

1: Battlestar Galactica's version of the word n_palum thought I meant

Gareth McCaughan

and he has a very specific answer in mind

Deusovi

Rand al'Thor

11:58 PM

@boboquack Contact

Rubio

I'll contact bobo also

n_palum

Any contacts on festal?

Rand al'Thor

@Rubio Is Googling allowed? :-P

Gareth McCaughan

not so far

Rubio

No.

boboquack

11:58 PM

@n_palum None of those

Deusovi

@Randal'Thor Nope

Mistah Figgins

can someone edit the ones that don't have numbers yet - they are too old to not be done by those in power

n_palum

I'll pass on 'ma'

boboquack

What happens with edit conflicts between blues?

Rand al'Thor

Well, if @Rubio has opened the door to cultural references ...

boboquack

11:58 PM

Force

Contact "ma"

@boboquack yes

Oh balls

Fillet of a ... snake

n_palum

Fair

Mistah Figgins

11:59 PM

Force = mass times acceleration

n_palum

Defending: F U

Gareth McCaughan

contact @Randal'Thor fillet

n_palum

Yeah yeah

Rand al'Thor

@MistahFiggins Ha, nice one!

Gareth McCaughan

except that one is dead

fancy free is dead (it was FOOTLOOSE)

n_palum

11:59 PM

Any busts?

Rubio

(To be fair, if you've established the defender has no idea about the cultural niche you're exploiting, you can't keep [ab]using it)

Gareth McCaughan

opposite of festal is dead (it was FERIAL)

boboquack

Mine is obviously busted

Rubio

Mine is busted
