Deusovi

Destructible Lemon

3:26 AM

11: what the obvious guess is sometimes referred to as

micsthepick

or is it just prefferable

Deusovi

yes, required

Destructible Lemon

I think it's variant meanings

ASCII-only

@micsthepick well it means "make someone legally bound to do something"

micsthepick

okay then

They are both valid clues

Deusovi

3:31 AM

58 ✔️

Wheat Wizard

I was defending OBLAST

Deusovi

...that's not an English word

John Dvorak

^

Wheat Wizard

It is

I checked

Alconja

^^^^

micsthepick

3:32 AM

noun
an administrative division or region in Russia and the former Soviet Union, and in some constituent republics of the former Soviet Union.

Deusovi

eh, it's a (recent) loanword

John Dvorak

yeech

Deusovi

kinda iffy

Wheat Wizard

I was originally defending OBLOQUY but I felt it would have been unfair with 3 people in the room

Deusovi

technically anything can be an English word

Wheat Wizard

3:32 AM

but not everything is

John Dvorak

obloquy at least is an English word :-)

ASCII-only

someone nuke the starboard pls

ffao

No one clued obloquy either, so this would still be an iffy round

John Dvorak

yeah

Deusovi

I've never heard that word.

Wheat Wizard

3:34 AM

Thats why I changed

Alconja

Why don't we just define "English words" as words I've heard of. Then there's no ambiguity.

Wheat Wizard

I like the rare letter combos

John Dvorak

@Alconja then we'd have to send you an OTS before each defense

Alconja

I guess I just need to write down every word I know somewhere

John Dvorak

+1

Deusovi

3:35 AM

@Alconja Yeah, sounds like a good plan to me. Have fun.

Or maybe we can all do it, then take the intersection of our lists. Problem solved!

Alconja

Intersection might be dangerous. I only know three words.

Wheat Wizard

I only know one word

Alconja

...those other ones were typos

John Dvorak

but then we have a different problem

Deusovi

Let's get started: a, aa, aardvark, aardwolf, abalone, abate...

Wheat Wizard

3:36 AM

and its OGDOAD

Alconja

Wheat Wizard defending O

Deusovi

Alternatively, we can just have Gareth recite the dictionary for us (as we all know he is fully capable of doing).

Destructible Lemon

12 mins ago, by Wheat Wizard

I guarantee everyone here knows this word

John Dvorak

40: The word WW knows (6)

Destructible Lemon

thanks

it's funny because I can see two answers

ffao

3:38 AM

@Deusovi are you sure this would work? he might include a few words that are not in the dictionary

Alconja

What we need is some sort of group or organisation to collect all these word lists together...

perhaps they could even publish the list in some sort of book

Maybe throw in the definitions for convenience

Wheat Wizard

We should include the definitions with them to help with cluing

Deusovi

That's brilliant!

John Dvorak

Anyways, wwho wwants to defend next?

Deusovi

They could even be in alphabetical order for easy reference.

Wheat Wizard

3:40 AM

looks like you have the right of way

Alconja

brb.... off to start a new business

John Dvorak

I'd like to pass and maybe head off to bed

Alconja

I can attack, but I'm likely to disappear again sporadically, so won't defend

Destructible Lemon

@Deusovi maybe even a couple notes about whether they are outdated!

or jargon!

Wheat Wizard

I will defend if needed but perhaps there wont be enough players

Destructible Lemon

3:42 AM

contact 40

Alconja

Destructible Lemon

John Dvorak

How about Czech loanwords, like "robot"?

Destructible Lemon

@JohnDvorak that is a well established word

ffao

huh, interesting, I didn't know robot was Czech

Wheat Wizard

Its apparently from the word for slave

Deusovi

I am. Gimme a few minutes.

Alconja
