Jan Dvorak

Deusovi

GentlePurpleRain

Probably right.

thecoder16

a locus is a set of points satisfying a given condition

like a ellipse is A locus

Sconibulus defending: L O C

Jan Dvorak

411 dies (Lobachevski), 44 dies (Lost)

Mike Q

10 dies (LOXODONTA), 9 dies (LORD VOLDEMORT)

mdc32

are the numbers arbitrary or is there a meaning to them

Jan Dvorak

Yes

Mike Q

Assume they are arbitrary, but sometimes a clue will include its number as part of the clue

Sconibulus

8:23 PM

they're usually arbitrary, but sometimes have hidden meaning

Deusovi

@Sconibulus It was supposed to be "login", but it cut off after the "o"

10. ___ of control

Deusovi

LOCUSTS

Sconibulus

8:25 PM

✔✔

Jan Dvorak

nice

Mike Q

I assume 10 was also LOCUST, as in a "locust of control"

Sconibulus

locus probably

which is a similar but entirely different word :)

Jan Dvorak

Locusts of control are not a thing

Mike Q

No no, I'm sure it's locust. If you have an external locust of control, then you believe that your life is determined by seasonal insect swarms.

Deusovi

8:27 PM

that sounds like a bad cartoon villain's scheme

"And now the ENTIRE TOWN will be taken over by my... LOCUSTS OF CONTROL!"

thecoder16

true

Jan Dvorak

probably inspired by the ten plagues

This means that MDC should defend now

mdc32

oh no

what have i done

Jan Dvorak

You have ... won.

Deusovi

eh, not "winning" per se

you don't have to defend though - that's just the default we use if nobody can decide who's going next

(typically we're all content in either role)

mdc32

8:29 PM

i'd rather not right now

Mike Q

Ok then. Who wants to defend?

GentlePurpleRain

I could probably do one.

dcfyj

Apparently my 11 never got starred or guessed lol

Jan Dvorak

It did get starred

dcfyj

Ah ok (on mobile so I couldn't tell even if it were) I was just guessing that it hadn't been starred since I never saw a guess on it.

Jan Dvorak

8:40 PM

It was starred. I just don't know the word that was wanted.

dcfyj

Either way, the answer was limb from limb

Jan Dvorak

... oh.

GentlePurpleRain
