11:00 PM

I should know 1 but I don't

Thiiiiiink

I realise that I don't know a lot of mei words :/

50. Old period in Japan

My gosh my Greek mythology knowledge is becoming slimmer

Erik the Outgolfer

@Rubio um...considering that you're a dog, drawing the line doesn't sound like something too PG-13

Sp3000 uhhhhhh

11:01 PM

@EriktheOutgolfer Not sure what you mean. I got claws, I can draw a line as well as the next ... person

@Sp3000 5 is already taken

Erik the Outgolfer

like, drawing the border between your place(s) and everywhere else

uhoh. @sp is here - things just got real

Erik the Outgolfer

let's not analyze this too :-)

Time to watch me fail even more XP

11:02 PM

someone wanna star my 5 please

Already did

danke

Erik the Outgolfer

my...my stars...are...gone...

50 i think of Medieval, feudal, edo

this room .... my god, it's full of stars

11:03 PM

samurai

c5!

Pass 5

5 sid MEIER ?

(Sid) MEIERS

5 (SID) MEIER ✔

11:04 PM

Who's Meier?

the guy who created the Civilizations games

the Civilization series of games are, properly, named "Sid Meier's Civilization" etc

Oh, I didn't know that :(

OH well

n e x t l e t t e r ? ?

@North defending MEIO

11:05 PM

bless you.

?

22 dies, was MEI

@Rubio What do you mean

(another overwatch reference :P )

22 stop with the verwatch ref? :p

11:06 PM

Those letters look like you had a seizure on your keyboard. lol

Haha

45 dies - who had a contact?

@Rubio Me, it was probably mein kampf, yeah?

of course.

whats kampf?

What was 50?

and 1

11:07 PM

@Rubio Sad, even the chat is not safe from Godwin's Law

1 was MEINEKE, a muffler and brake shop. Competitor to MIDAS, another muffler and brake shop.

50 was Meiji, and mobile chat's being semi-broken for me

Huh

I thought 1 was a Greek reference

That was the idea ;)

2. The one that doesn't start with MIT

11:08 PM

Those red herring

contact 2

2 pass

HAHAHA

welp.

MEIOSIS

Yup

That was probably one of the best clues

I couldn't think of a good way to clue it

so .. didn't. :)

11:09 PM

Lol

Yeah neither, hence that

Okay your up, @Sp3000

Sp3000 defending: A

Erik the Outgolfer

1: Blue gem.

34: Johnny

c1

11:11 PM

1. Aquamarine?

Erik the Outgolfer

1: gem, not color

Aquamarine is a gem, I believe

semiprecious stone I think, but yes

Still c1

c1

Erik the Outgolfer

11:12 PM

1: ^^^

wobbly contact 34 because why not

Well I'm blanking out here, so I guess pass 1

20: Mushu wake them up

DAMN IT

Erik the Outgolfer

@Sp3000 sure pass?

lel

11:15 PM

3 times in a row now XD

contact 20 if it survives.

1 is AMETIST

I assume you intended AMETHYST. :)

Erik the Outgolfer

@North

woops XD

Erik the Outgolfer

11:16 PM

well, then

(Re: 20 that's what happens when nobody clues for 4 min :P not that I have any clue for 20)

Erik the Outgolfer

1: yeah (although, now that I googled it after the pass, it looks like amethyst is purple >_>)

Well I guess... technically two Contact wrongs make a right

Sp3000 defending: A T

and 20 didn't survive, alas.

20 dies

want to guess?

11:18 PM

4: Ma Bell?

20 was ancestors

Erik the Outgolfer

123: Oh my, I can't goo..o.o there, there might be ggho.oo.oo.oos..ssts. shivers

yup

I think 34 is dead too.

contact 123 probably

Erik the Outgolfer

5: On a specific (or not, it depends :P) location.

6: His story goes on forever

already have a 4

Erik the Outgolfer

11:19 PM

c6?

@North Is this still alive?

hm

My brain's just locked onto ATOLL for 4 even though it feels very not right

contact 5

4 ATOLL is very not right.

Erik the Outgolfer

lol

123. attic?

Erik the Outgolfer

11:22 PM

123: yes, you finally found it :P

3: He nonverbally said Meh?

Erik the Outgolfer

123: I was surprised, it was supposed to be very easy

123: but, eh, possible false perceived easiness is why I post easy clues from time to time :P

3. ATLAS (shrugged)

3 ✔

Erik the Outgolfer

I think he's still shrugging :P

11:25 PM

Pass 5

21. John Ratcliffe did that because of John Smith got captured

ASREWSFDKNGASREWN

5 is I think just AT

Erik the Outgolfer

Sp passed

5: yes

Welp Joey oops

Erik the Outgolfer

5: I just didn't want to post ... as a clue

11:26 PM

Ah I was overthinking it was a phrase starting with AT or something

@JoeyDionne that doesn't start with AT. ;)

Sp3000 defending: A T E

4 dies, it was AT&T

21 dies, was ATTACK

6 someone contacted, I think?

it's also dead - go for it

Erik the Outgolfer

11:27 PM

100: What did you do, ego?

The "Ma" of 4 being...?

The whole network of Bell companies was collectively called Ma Bell, and became AT&T. sort of. it got ... confusing.

Huh, TIL

Erik the Outgolfer

^

Erik did you have a guess on 6?

11:29 PM

Just to check: is 100 just ATE?

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah, ATLAS

100: yes

100: "ego" is just another way to refer to the defender, no offense to anyone

oh. no. 6 was ATREYU, the boy from The Neverending Story

Erik the Outgolfer

100: like, egos defend their stuff and they don't share it

Figured it was Neverending but I didn't know anything but the title :P

I'm ruling 34 dead. (I suspect it might have been Johnny APPLESEED. regardless, it's 2 letters old and doubtful it's still valid, and @North has vanished.)

Erik the Outgolfer

11:31 PM

now you also know that "Atreyu" is a boy from that "Neverending story" :P

Just checking: no active clues right?

right

Erik the Outgolfer

+1

my brain is cramping at ATE

Erik the Outgolfer

.oO( ATE is a complete word, there can be no more, that's it, period!!! )

11:35 PM

1: Getting back to the usual pace

1. ATEMPO

A TEMPO, but sure ✔

Ah oops

every words I think of either have another T or a H

2: Unsteady?

11:39 PM

2. AT EASE

2 is not AT EASE

... welp trigger happy trying to guess what might come up

Erik the Outgolfer

I think we've stagnated

i walked the alphabet, this is the only ATE* word I could think of lol

Is 2 something like ateetering?

11:41 PM

ATEETER ✔

i think it's a word

hm

Erik the Outgolfer

I don't think it's a word...

3: Like Doc Brown's DeLorean's license plate

FYI I have no idea how to stop this from going on for too long if nobody knows the word

Erik the Outgolfer

SPOILER REQUEST: 2 UNANIMOUS VOTES REMAINING

lol

11:45 PM

3 is clearly ATE LETTERS LONG :P

his plate is OUTATIME

Okay it's been about 20min so I'll throw in a letter, though that'll probably invalidate 3

Sp3000 defending: A T E L

yah 3 was ATEMPORAL

and I'm officially out of words.

Erik the Outgolfer

1000: Studio.

Pass 1000

Erik the Outgolfer

11:48 PM

welp, looks like rub's officially out of words

(actually been thinking of this for quite some time, but unable to come up with a clue)

Just say your word, I'm the only one playing and didn't contact and don't know it and it seems likely you have it so meh.

Erik the Outgolfer

1000: ATELIER

Sp3000 was defending: A T E L I E R

yeah I don't know that word. :)

Ok I'm off, have a happy

damnit, another french english word! ><
