There is no clue #37. What exactly are you confirming?

caird coinheringaahing

Ugh :/

Erik the Outgolfer

caird coinheringaahing

10:12 PM

Hold up, I'll retry 37

37: "That is correct"

Lens

There is no clue #37. What exactly are you confirming?

GentlePurpleRain

It's okay. It was already guessed correctly.

caird coinheringaahing

37 was Yes, that is correct

Lens

There is no clue #37. What exactly are you confirming?

@caird I am assuming you did it on purpose

@GarethMcCaughan I realised after the clue that it might cause problems

micsthepick

I don't see why you would drink yoghurt

18. YAKULT?

Lens

We are currently waiting on micsthepick to confirm Gareth McCaughan's guess for clue #18. Please wait until that has been done before making another guess.

There are now 10 unsolved clues. Please don't post any more clues until some have been resolved.

Gareth McCaughan

10:16 PM

5. YELLOW or YELLOW-BELLIED?

3. YAWN

Lens

There aren't very many contacts on existing clues. Why don't you focus on solving some of them instead of posting more?

Erik the Outgolfer

3: y

Gareth McCaughan

Lens, there are plenty of contacts on existing clues

GentlePurpleRain

5: yes (YELLOW-BELLIED)

caird coinheringaahing

Is it bad that I though 70 was Clickbait? :/

GentlePurpleRain

10:17 PM

No, it's good.

micsthepick

that's probably intentional

GentlePurpleRain

@GarethMcCaughan Only 3

Gareth McCaughan

That's not a bad number.

I mean, if it gets much beyond that then the defender is being kinda rude.

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah, it's a good number... for the defender :P

GentlePurpleRain

Lens's threshold is 5, I think.

micsthepick

10:18 PM

32: frame perfect trick in SMM or SMW

Lens

There is already an active clue #39. Please edit or repost with a different number.

GentlePurpleRain

If it's 5 or more, Lens tells the defender to get solving, or pass already. :P

Eric Tressler

80: Boat bludgeon?

Lens

OK, I'm pretty sure I have no idea whatever what 34 is about, so:

pass 34

Clue #34 (__ for power, Kobe for accuracy) was contacted by: Erik the Outgolfer. Make your guess!

Erik the Outgolfer

@GentlePurpleRain well... IMO, it should tell the defender: "Hey! What are we waiting for, you to finish lazing around?! Come on, move, move, move! horns sound"

34: YEARNING?

caird coinheringaahing

34: No

Lens

It looks like no one guessed right. Clue #34 is now dead. Carry on.

@EricTressler Well, maybe you should heed the advice... :)

@GentlePurpleRain It implies that I don't try to solve all of the other clues, which is false

GentlePurpleRain

10:23 PM

32: YOSHI STOMP?

micsthepick

32. incorrect

Lens

It looks like no one guessed right. Clue #32 is now dead. Carry on.

micsthepick

it was yump

GentlePurpleRain

Oh. Sorry.

I was guessing.

micsthepick

a colloquial term for p jump

GentlePurpleRain

10:24 PM

gotcha

(Gareth, SMM and SMW are Super Mario games)

Gareth McCaughan

yeah, I guessed that from your guess. Beyond that I'm still pretty much in the dark (but quite content to stay that way).

You guessed correctly. Gareth McCaughan must give up a letter!

Gareth McCaughan

hmm, in hindsight I have heard of Yonkers, but there's no way I was going to dredge it out of my memory.

Gareth defending: Y E

Erik the Outgolfer

@EriktheOutgolfer, Gareth McCaughan guessed Y for clue #5. Please confirm or deny the guess.

8 dies. YMMV

Erik the Outgolfer

you're slow, Lens

caird coinheringaahing

38 lives

70 lives

1 dies: Y

u38

I thought 8 might be YMMV, but I don't see why the internet was brought up

Gareth McCaughan

10:28 PM

why was 1 Y?

GentlePurpleRain

Because that term is usually used online, not in regular speech.

caird coinheringaahing

@GentlePurpleRain What did you think 38 was, if that's allowed?

GentlePurpleRain

I was thinking "YOU BET"

Erik the Outgolfer

@GarethMcCaughan "But... ??" clues towards "But... why?"

Bleh.

The word being defended starts with YE. Your guess starts with Y. Try again.

There was no guess made for #73. What exactly are you confirming?

GentlePurpleRain

:-(

Erik the Outgolfer

10:30 PM

Gareth McCaughan

consequence of the same bug we saw earlier

GentlePurpleRain

It's more broken than I thought.

Gareth McCaughan

Lens is not going to be able to cope with any guesses from this point on

Erik the Outgolfer

let's kill Lens then

GentlePurpleRain

You'll have to manually kill correct clues.

John Dvorak

10:31 PM

yeet

GentlePurpleRain

You want to go full manual?

caird coinheringaahing

See, John gets it

GentlePurpleRain

I can kill Lens if you want.

John Dvorak

that was a lucky guess

Gareth McCaughan

50. YELLOWJACKET?

Lens

10:32 PM

The word being defended starts with YE. Your guess starts with Y. Try again.

GentlePurpleRain

Actually, I'll just mute Lens, and that way you can unmute when a new game starts if you want.

!shutup 30

Lens

Ok, I won't say anything else for 30.0 minutes, unless you tell me to !speak. I will continue to star/unstar clues as I'm able, and I'll still keep track of the game.

Gareth McCaughan

(I vaguely think there's a stripey insect of that name; presumably the cousin is the bumblebee)

GentlePurpleRain

I have to head out. Thanks for the game(s).

Gareth McCaughan

bye @GPR

GentlePurpleRain

10:33 PM

Just !speak if you want Lens back.

Erik the Outgolfer

bye!

caird coinheringaahing

41: "Can you sign mine please?"

If we use commands like !clues, will that reset Lens' quiet time, or will nothing happen?

Erik the Outgolfer

I think nothing happens

Gareth McCaughan

@EricTressler Did you see I made a guess at 50?

Eric Tressler

@GarethMcCaughan No, sorry

50: correct

Gareth McCaughan

10:35 PM

!kill 50

not that I see much point in helping Lens keep track since it isn't going to do anything visible to us with its knowledge

Erik the Outgolfer

more like helping us keep track with those stars...

although I don't think Lens has got 20 stars back yet

Gareth McCaughan

except that it won't actually star things (because it's run out of stars) or unstar them (because it can't understand when they're guessed)

GentlePurpleRain

@GarethMcCaughan It can still keep track of clues and contacts.

Gareth McCaughan

I guess.
