@Rubio I guessed TEXTUAL and TEXT above for your 1 clue.

sorry. neither additional guess for 1 is correct.
 
21. TRESPASSING?
 
21: No
 
2: ✔
 
3. TIDES
 
7:07 PM
Just considered cluing "Tametsi", but there's a 0% chance of El not thinking of that :P
 
bahahaha :)
I was even chatting with a coworker about it earlier, so, yeah...
 
3: TIDE is correct ✔
 
22: Swipe L/R
 
contact 22
 
22: TINDER

22: Yes
23: Potion
24: Agreement
 
23: TINCTURE?
 
23: Yes
I wasn't entirely sure what a Tincture is, but I thought it's close enough to a potion
 
Thanks to a conversation with another coworker last week... :P
 
40: TETRIS
 
7:12 PM
4: What unix systems think you're talking to them via
 
4: TERMINAL

@El'endiaStarman How much do you know about British TV shows?
 
7:13 PM
5: (In)famous SE lounge
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Whatever is really well known in American pop culture? I mean, clue away, there's three other clues here that I (probably) don't know.
5: TEACHER
 
25: Rich kid
 
5 TEACHER'S LOUNGE but sure ✔
 
7:14 PM
I went with what would be valid as the original word.
 
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, but it's more about whether it's an unfair clue or not
 
6,7,8: X|X|X
 
6,7,8: TIC TAC TOE
Wait shoot.
 
6,7,8 ✔✔✔
 
7:15 PM
Bungled that but direct hit.
 
41: Deserves to be beheaded
 
Okay yeah I have no idea what 41 is.
 
eh
if one of those was your word the game is over
 
You did get my word, yes.
 
c41
 
7:16 PM
I picked a short word on purpose. :)
 
41 was Traitor FYI (I decided to stay away from the TV clues)
 
I got that because I was trying to think of a clue for treason
 
Alright, new one, if y'all don't mind.
Defending: C
 
7:19 PM
40: CLUB
 
c40
 
o.O
40: CADDY (or CADDIE?)
41': CLUB?
 
41': Yes
40: No
(41' should've been 40')
 
7:20 PM
I don't think you can use a word that the defender has already guessed
 
40: CART
 
Too many C words related to golf!
40: COURSE
 
@DJMcMayhem Pretty sure you can, it can force them to reveal a letter
40: No :P
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing No, you can't reuse words
 
7:21 PM
-_-
 
(brb)
 
25, 26: Debussy
 
What happens if I pass on 40 and DJ gets it wrong?
 
7:22 PM
@El'endiaStarman Nothing
 
hmm, okay
Is there any way for the defender to win? Revealing all letters?
 
@El'endiaStarman Defending long enough that everyone else gets bored?
 
42: X + Y -> a + b + Y
 
Which clues are up?
 
7:24 PM
40, 25, 26
and 42 now
 
Playing this game w/o a starbot is pretty messy
 
You could just star them yourself
 
I'm keeping track of the clues in a separate window.
@DJMcMayhem Mortals have a limited number of stars.
 
Contact 25 and 26, I think
 
Pass 25, 26
 
7:26 PM
25/26: CLAUDE?
 
25: Composer?
 
25: Correct (Claude)
Leave 26 for now until we see the next letter
 
Defending: C I
 
26 is not composer
26 dies: Clair
 
100: Italian stew
 
7:27 PM
42 dies: Catalyst
40 dies: Code
 
oh my gosh
 
27: Internet Challenge
 
I can't believe I missed that one. >.<
 
Contact 27
@El'endiaStarman hehe
101: Urban-sounding bank
 
@PiIsNot3 Out of curiosity, did you have 26 correct?
 
7:28 PM
101: CITIBANK
 
@DJMcMayhem No, I also would've guessed COMPOSER
Is Clair Debussy's middle name?
101: CITIBANK is correct
 
No, he wrote Clair De Lune
 
Ah, gotcha
 
28: A rather large fruit
 
102: O
 
7:29 PM
102: CIRCLE or CIRCULAR
 
102: CIRCLE is correct
 
29: -Block
 
50: You love it or you hate it
 
29: CIRCLE?
 
29: no
 
7:30 PM
Wait, can't reuse words.
 
1, 2 : "...Where Service Is State Of The Art"
 
Wow, this game is so much harder as a defender.
 
you can reuse words. it's not beneficial, and so not recommended, but if it happens the world does not end.
contact 50?
 
29: CINDER
 
29: Yes
28 clue: An apple, specifically
 
7:33 PM
103: The Real Cost
 
Is n': <clue> a universally understood syntax for "hint to 'n'"?
 
104: Randall says this is needed
 
@DJMcMayhem n' is usually related to n
 
104: CITATION
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing But a different word?
 
7:34 PM
104: CITATION is correct
 
@DJMcMayhem Usually, yes, I believe so
 
30: Input stream
 
30: CIN
 
Contact 30
 
30: Yes
 
7:35 PM
360: ° around
 
360: CIRCUMFERENCE
 
Clever number usage there. :)
 
360': Walk it
@El'endiaStarman Thanks :P
 
c360'
@cairdcoinheringaahing Twist it
Pull it!
 
7:36 PM
Bop it!
 
Contact 360'?
 
Are foreign words allowed? Or is the game supposed to be English only?
 
360': CIRCUMSCRIBE?
oh wait
 
7:37 PM
@DJMcMayhem Different clue, "taking notice of" an earlier one.
 
360': CIRCUMLOCUTE (or however it's spelled)
 
@DJMcMayhem As an attacker, you can clue whatever words you want. As a defender, it has to be a valid English word according to some authoritative source
 
@DJMcMayhem I think foreign words are allowed. I've used foreign clues before
360': No
 
Defenders have to use a single English word that would be Scrabble appropriate (ignoring tile availability or length restrictions)
 
But do attackers have to use English words?
 
7:38 PM
Attackers can use literally anything they think they can get their fellow attackers to guess
 
OK.
31: El sky
 
Attackers can clue "algjekajglekajglbntrnk" if you think others can guess it
 
(provided it has the current prefix, that is)
 
c31
 
31: CIRRUS?
 
7:39 PM
31: no
 
Oh, Spanish word for sky. Alas, I don't remember that one.
 
btw 50 has a contact.
also contact 31
 
I'm most interested in 360'. Pass 360'.
 
Also 27
360': Circumnavigate
 
7:40 PM
Actually, I don't think I have 360'
Nvm
 
360' is Circumnavigate
 
ooh, missed that one
Defending: C I R
 
27 dies: Cinnamon
 
67 dies: Cinch
 
100 dies, CIABATTA
 
7:41 PM
28 dies: City (The big apple)
 
i assume 31 was cielo
 
103 dies, CIGARETTE
 
31 dies: Cielo
 
@DJMcMayhem Clever.
 
wait i shouldn't have said that sorry
 
7:41 PM
2 dies, was also CITY
1 lives.
 
@Quintec Why not? It dies
 
Contact 1
 
@DJMcMayhem just in case it didn't
 
What's 1 again?
 
But if it didn't die, Cielo would be wrong, so that wouldn't help at all
 
7:42 PM
105: Roundabout manner
105': Roundabout manner
 
who knows, it might somehow
 
Status of 50?
 
contact 105/105'
 
[reposting] 1, 2 : "...Where Service Is State Of The Art"
 
7:43 PM
if 50 lives, uncontact 50
 
c78
 
32: Infant operation
 
c32
 
32: CIRCUMSCISION
 
32: Yes
 
7:44 PM
Pass 105, 105'
 
is one of 105/105' CIRCITUOUS?
ah, bad spelling
 
105: CIRCUITOUS is correct
 
uh
you can't pass on more than one
 
Really?
 
I guess just "Pass 105" then
 
7:45 PM
well 105/105' have the same clue
i only knew one of them
 
really. because if, say, 105' had been CIRCUITOUS, how do we resolve this
 
Yeah, I'd have done them in 105 -> 105' order anyway.
 
i honestly have no idea how to tell the 105's apart then
 
@Rubio I'd just count it as a hit
 
Maybe I should've made them 105 and 106 instead
 
7:46 PM
Same clue problem still.
 
no, that doesn't change the fact that the clues are the same
 
You can't. That's what makes that kind of simultaneous cluing a bad idea, unless something distinguishes them.
 
I say it just counts as a hit, try to avoid this confusion in the future?
 
I had two words in mind, and I would've accepted either of them. If that's not allowed, I'll retract 105' and post a better clue
 
Because obviously it was passed and then guessed
 
7:47 PM
(Adding a 105' after 105 was figured out would generally be fine. Or something that hints as to length or something, also fine)
 
I do want to move on, yes.
Defending: C I R C
 
But you can't really fairly clue two words with the same clue and take either answer for either clue, that's not how it works :)
 
33: Barnum
 
33: CIRCUS
 
33: Yes
 
7:48 PM
1 still lives and is still contacted.
 
@Rubio Well why not?
 
@DJMcMayhem One word, one clue.
well ok one word/phrase, one clue.
 
106: Suppose there exists a purple unicorn. Therefore, purple unicorns exist.
 
c106
 
contact 106
 
7:50 PM
I should be able to get 106... =_=
Hmm. Pass 106.
 
Oh, and 105' still lives
 
106: Circular Reasoning
 
106: CIRCULAR REASONING is correct
 
Defending: C I R C U
Funny how that keeps happening. :P
 
105' still lives
 
7:51 PM
34: Coincidental
 
78 still lives
 
78: CIRCUIT
 
107: It works with the lungs
 
1 still lives.
 
107: CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
 
7:52 PM
Damn, should've have brought attention to it :P
78: Yes
 
107: CIRCULATORY SYSTEM is correct
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Status of 50?
 
3: Attentive
 
Which one is 50?
 
22 mins ago, by caird coinheringaahing

108: CIRCULATION is correct
 
360'': Wandering
 
360'': CIRCUMLOCUTION?
 
7:56 PM
Pass 1.
I figure that's a slogan but no idea what it's for.
 
Did anyone even contact 1?
 
1: CIRCUIT
 
1 is CIRCUIT (CITY)
 
Got it after CITY was revealed :)
 
Oh, I don't think I've ever been there or remember seeing the ads. :P

I'm running out of circum- words :/
 
Locution is speaking, ambulation is walking, took a while to remember that. :)
Pass 105'
