Deusovi

dcfyj

I said I would use it as a call to arms :P

Rubio

I've done a terrible thing.

dcfyj

4:54 PM

lol

Deusovi

Yes, you absolutely have.

dcfyj

If you don't want me to use it, I'll leave it in my nopepad++ file

Who's defending?

Sid

I can.

If someone wants a quick round.

dcfyj

Go for it

Sid

Sid defending: O

2: Necessary

3: Unnecessary

contact 3?

4:59 PM

11. OSTRICH, maybe?

dcfyj

Sid

I think I will pass 3.

dcfyj

Ostriches are certainly not cranes

3: obsolete?

Deusovi

no, OPTIONAL

dcfyj

Sid

5:00 PM

Ah. No, not my word.

n_palum

5: That that that

star 11?

2. Not OBLIGATORY

@BusinessCat?

Business Cat

5:02 PM

2: Yes

11. Not OSCAR,maybe?

nope

Okay, pass 11.

ORIGAMI

The paper crane is quite famous

Sid

5:03 PM

Ah, the japanese thingy. Smacks self at head*

Sid defending: OS

n_palum

5 dies

Deusovi

5: OPT

5: That

dcfyj

I don't get it, but ok

Deusovi

@dcfyj I said OPTIONAL, and the first three are OPT

5 uh no

5:05 PM

oh really? huh

Out Of Office

OOO

Deusovi

never heard that abbreviation

Sid

5. Not, OS(Operating System)

Deusovi

nope, 5 is not OS

for "OOO" I'd've assumed OUT OF ORDER

12: Not 11

n_palum

5:06 PM

It's both technically but I have seen office more

Sid

huh, this is hard..

Deusovi

well, neither 5 nor 12 has been contacted

(or starred for that matter)

and no other clues exist

Rubio

:contact 12 I guess

hallo

Deusovi

hey!

Sid

Okay, pass 12.

Rubio

5:09 PM

12 OSCAR

Business Cat

I was just about to contact ;_:

Deusovi

...no.

Rubio

aww.

sorry

Deusovi

ah shit it was ambiguous wasn't it

Sid

That would have been cruel..

Deusovi

5:10 PM

OSTRICH

Sid

This is cruel as well.

Rubio

what was your guess BC?

Sid

Should have gotten this

Rubio

1: Pretexty?

2: Box of bones

n_palum

8: Operating System is hunted by a bird

Contact 2

Rubio

5:11 PM

contact 8

n_palum

I think 2 is unfair though

Rubio

oh.

Yeah it probably is

n_palum

Just because of countries

Sid

No idea about 2. Never heard it.

Rubio

I mean, it shouldn't be, but

I'll withdraw it

Deusovi

5:12 PM

I think it's unfair too

Sid

8. I am guessing OSTRICH.

Rubio

2 is updated.

stars please.

Sid

What was the previous answer?

n_palum

8 no

Rubio

Osh Kosh

Deusovi

5:14 PM

oshkosh.com

clothing store

(with a weird name)

Sid

2. is OSUARY or however that is spelled.

Rubio

2: OSSUARY ✔

Sid

I am proud I got that. I learnt that term recently

Business Cat

7: Bird of prey

Rubio

contact 7

n_palum

5:16 PM

...

3: N in Norway?

contact 3?

contact 3

7. Maybe OSPREY?

It is

5:19 PM

oh. hm.

maaaybe contact 5

I will just PASS 3

3: OSLO

OSLO

3: OSLO ✔

because N is obviously the "capital" of "Norway"

Sid

5:19 PM

How?

Deusovi

(the other letters are the lowercase)

Oh, crap

;)

I knew that

(also, that "obviously" is sarcastic)

Sid

5:20 PM

Smacks head again*

Rubio

I thought it was clever. hehe

Business Cat

It took me a bit to realize that... I tentatively contacted because Oslo was the only os- thing related to Norway I could think of...

Rubio

I knew Deus would get it :)

ffao

I would guess Oslo for the same reason as BC

Rubio

new letter, please, good defender!

Sid

5:21 PM

Sid defending: OST

is 5 dead?

(Sorry, lag issues)

it is indeed

Osmium?

yup

5:21 PM

that took me way too long

1 lives

Deusovi

yeah, I'm ashamed of all of you

Rubio

8 is dead, yes?

Sid

Yeah, I am an idiot..

Deusovi

it should be

Rubio

was also OSPREY. heh

Sid

5:22 PM

Yeah. That too. Apparently 8 is hidden by my window.

Deusovi

yep - I didn't contact immediately because I knew that Rubio had it, and if I did Sid might realize

Rubio

figgins!

Mistah Figgins

6: head in the sand

Rubio

2: Groomsman?

Sid

6 has to be OSTRICH.

Mistah Figgins

5:24 PM

yep

Rubio

3: Gaudy

Sid

2 sounds like the masculine version of Bridesmaid.

Deusovi

4. As perceived

Rubio

I'll just keep throwing these out until someone contacts :)

Mistah Figgins

6: exclusive

Deusovi

5:25 PM

contact 3

Rubio

contact 4

Deusovi

high five

Sid

3. is maybe OSTENTIOUS?

Rubio

3: ✔

Deusovi

OSTENTATIOUS is the actual word, but I think that's good enough

Rubio

5:26 PM

5: Excommunicate

Sid

I am guessing 4 is that too?

Mistah Figgins

contact 5

Rubio

er yeah. I was reading lazily obviously

Deusovi

no, 4 is not OSTENTATIOUS

contact 5

Sid

PASS 4.

Deusovi

5:27 PM

Rubio?

Business Cat

contact 5 if it matters

Deusovi

...@Rubio?

Rubio

sorry

4 - OSTENSIBLY

Deusovi

yup!

Sid

Close enough.

That is my Word!

Rubio

5:29 PM

1 btw is also OSTENSIBLY

Deusovi

I don't get it

Sid

OSTENSIBLE-Actually.

Rubio

pretexty → pretext-ish → obstensibly

n_palum

oh 8 died btw

Rubio

It wasn't a good clue but that was the word I had

er. I'm tied up though, Deus you wanna defend?

Deusovi

5:36 PM

I guess I could. Gimme a minute.

Deusovi defending P

dcfyj

11: Not _

(You might deem this unfair)

11: POLYNOMIAL?

1. n

wait, that's "nondeterministic polynomial"

dcfyj

5:42 PM

lol

Deusovi

shh

dcfyj

either way I've no idea what you're referring to, I haven't done math in a fair while.

Deusovi

have you heard of "NP completeness"?

"nondeterministic polynomial" is what the NP there stands for

dcfyj

@Deusovi Doesn't sound familiar

Deusovi

it's one level in a classification system of how hard computational problems are, loosely speaking

like, Sudoku is NP-complete

but stepping through Conway's Game of Life is "easier" in a sense

anyway

dcfyj

5:47 PM

As I said, you might deem it unfair

ffao

but that's more Computer Science than math

dcfyj

I'm programmer, but I don't remember that stuff lol

Rubio

2: A ball, a lamp, an eye?

ffao

o_O

Rubio

ok maybe not. :)

3: 19K

n_palum

5:55 PM

6: Less___MoreFizz

POP?

Mhmm

4: She groks law

not a clue for 4. I know "grok" is a reference to something (and I know what it means) but not what exactly it is a reference to.

so I'll preemptively PASS 4

Rubio

I may pocket that one for later

5: They defend kings and queens in their castles

Where'd everyone go

Sid

5:59 PM

Heh, contact 5.

Clever.
