yeh thought so ... I am categorically clueless about all things Pokemon, making most such questions unfair to this defender. Just tossing that out there :)

El'endia Starman

anyway... c7

Rubio

7: It's not CANTALOUPE

PiIsNot3

c7

Ah, gotcha

Rubio

PiIsNot3

El'endia Starman

DJMcMayhem

c31

Rubio

El'endia Starman

9:11 PM

\o DJ!

PiIsNot3

107: Label given to many a strategy in online multiplayer games

DJMcMayhem

c107

@El'endiaStarman \o

Just wrote a python syntax highlighter in C++ :D

El'endia Starman

Mental thought process for 107: "toxic? no. camping? no."

@DJMcMayhem Neat! ....but why?

DJMcMayhem

And by "wrote" I mean I got someone else's that they wrote working in my code base haha

El'endia Starman

hahaha

too true...

Rubio

9:13 PM

ah that was quicker than expected. woot.

DJMcMayhem

And yet I still feel accomplished

Rubio

31: It's not CANTANKEROUS perhaps

107: It's not CANCEROUS perhaps

DJMcMayhem

@El'endiaStarman So that the syntax is highlighted :P

PiIsNot3

107: CANCEROUS is correct

108: Packed sardines

DJMcMayhem

c108

Rubio

9:14 PM

108: It's not CANNED

PiIsNot3

108: CANNED is incorrect

El'endia Starman

31: close enough - CANKER

Rubio

eh. I wouldn't have given that up, but thank you

El'endia Starman

Oh whoops, I misread slightly.

rip

Rubio

I would have gone there next, so hehe

Maria Deleva

9:15 PM

9: Applicant

Rubio

9: It's not CANDIDATE

Maria Deleva

9: correct

DJMcMayhem

60: Vigil

El'endia Starman

Ugh, I've got a word in mind but I don't quite remember the meaning with confidence.

I'll try anyway.

Rubio

60: it's not CANDLELIGHT maybe

DJMcMayhem

9:16 PM

60: y

El'endia Starman

32: medieval warfare thingy

Rubio

hehe

"thingy"

DJMcMayhem

@Rubio That's a highly technical term

Rubio

it is indeed.

DJMcMayhem

Along with "Thingamajig", which is similar but very distinct

Rubio

9:17 PM

I just hope you're not misspelling CATAPULT or something

El'endia Starman

nope :)

I'd google it but y'know...

Maria Deleva

c32 maybe?

Rubio

try googling thingamajig

i'm sure it'll come up, like, right near the top for ya

El'endia Starman

lol

Rubio

bah. now i have to actually think.

El'endia Starman

9:19 PM

I think 57 is also live, and uncontacted.

Feels like one I should know. :/

PiIsNot3

108 was contacted by DJ too (and needs to be starred)

El'endia Starman

Oh, sorry, misread your response.

Rubio

oh heh, I missed the contact on 108

hmm

i'm gonna PASS 32

hey @gareth

Maria Deleva

32: Cannonball?

Gareth McCaughan

hi

El'endia Starman

9:22 PM

Alright Maria, here's your chance!

32: nope.

Maria Deleva

hm that was my only guess

:)

El'endia Starman

32 was cantrel/cantrell/cantrelle/however it's spelled.

DJMcMayhem

@Rubio Oh, uncontact (I thought it was canned also)

El'endia Starman

Which is 100% wrong.

Rubio

damn. I just mis-built some servers. yay me!

El'endia Starman

9:23 PM

Now I have to figure out what I was thinking of.

contact 57

109: Tales

contact 109

109: It's not CANTERBURY

PiIsNot3

109: CANTERBURY is corrext

caird coinheringaahing

9:24 PM

Nothing's happened with 57 right?

(Aside from the contact)

Rubio

57: It's not CANDLE POWER, CANDLE FOOT, CANDLE METER, CANDLE BRIGHTNESS, or damn well near anything else CANDLE* hehe.

Gareth McCaughan

1. Like the art of the Musikalisches Opfer

caird coinheringaahing

@Rubio 57: Yep, it is not any of those :P

Rubio

ok then

PASS 57

Gareth McCaughan

57 is CANDELA.

Rubio

9:26 PM

gah.

hate.

caird coinheringaahing

@Rubio 56': Yes that's correct

57: Candela is correct

El'endia Starman

ahhhh right, I remember now

Gareth McCaughan

(one lux is one candela per square metre)

PiIsNot3

Darn, mobile is too slow

Rubio

Rubio is defending: C A N A

Gareth McCaughan

9:27 PM

1 dies (was CANONIC)

PiIsNot3

105 dies, was also CANDELA

DJMcMayhem

61: Hockey

El'endia Starman

c61

PiIsNot3

108 dies, CANNERY ROW

Gareth McCaughan

(or could be CANONICAL, it's a translation from the Latin which is probably making a pun)

2. Painter

3. Cape

El'endia Starman

9:28 PM

The fact that CANA- has been revealed means that the word isn't CANA, right?

PiIsNot3

109: Red

Rubio

61: It's not CANADA or CANADIAN or CANADIENS

Gareth McCaughan

@El'endiaStarman I don't think it does, but I also don't think CANA is a Scrabble-legal word.

DJMcMayhem

61: yes

Rubio

@El'endiaStarman no, it does not mean that

El'endia Starman

9:28 PM

33: Israel's enemy

c33

c33

33: It's not CANAAN

33: correct

Hmm, I thought that was spelled with two n's

Gareth McCaughan

9:29 PM

it is, but they aren't adjacent

...

ba dum tiss

Ok fine :P

hah

c3

9:29 PM

3: It's not CANAVERAL

El'endia Starman

darn

Gareth McCaughan

3 was indeed CANAVERAL

Maria Deleva

44: Conduct

Gareth McCaughan

contact 44 maybe

meh, actually uncontact 44

Avi

3. BIRD

Gareth McCaughan

9:30 PM

(I'm not certain my answer is wrong, but it probably is)

c3

contact 3

3: It's not CANARY

3 is canary

wait, no, that's only if it dies

PiIsNot3

110: One of these sounds spooky

Gareth McCaughan

9:32 PM

4. Not a bird, but perhaps it might fly in the wind?

5. Schiapparelli was wrong

Rubio

No current contacts, correct?

PiIsNot3

Nope

Gareth McCaughan

(note: it is possible that I have the wrong number of Ps)

El'endia Starman

34: ditch

Rubio

34: It's not a CANAL

Avi

9:34 PM

c34?

tragic

El'endia Starman

ugh, 34: correct

35: large and empty

3: card game

contact 3

3: it's not CANASTA

3 was canasta

9:36 PM

contact 35 perhaps

Rubio

35 is obviously CANADA

Avi

3: Can a real dude start a rumor (6)

contact 3

lol, no 35: no

uncontact 35

9:37 PM

PASS 3

Gareth McCaughan

3 is CANARD, obviously

Avi

:o

Rubio

CANARD ✔

Gareth McCaughan

4 was CANAPE (cf. vol-au-vent).

5 was CANAL (as in Mars).

2 was CANALETTO.

Maria Deleva

44 was CANALIZE/CANALISE

Rubio

9:37 PM

I should have recognized 5, I feel bad now

El'endia Starman

Oh wow, I've never heard CANARD in that context (and probably wouldn't have gotten it in an aeronautics context either).

Rubio

44, that's a word? heh

PiIsNot3

110 was also CANAL (“Erie” Canal)

El'endia Starman

35: CANAVEROUS

Gareth McCaughan

and I did in fact have the wrong number of Ps

Avi

9:38 PM

canalize probably means "make canals out of"

Gareth McCaughan

is CANAVEROUS a word?

Avi

no

caird coinheringaahing

@PiIsNot3 Isn't that pronounced Air?

Rubio

Cavernous, but

Gareth McCaughan

I thought CANALIZE meant "force into a narrow channel", literally or metaphorically

El'endia Starman

9:38 PM

Spellchecker didn't complain, so...?

Avi

but cadaverous is?

PiIsNot3

109 was also CANARY, but I don’t think that’s their natural color

Rubio

I don't think canaverous is

heh. I almost tried canary for 109

Gareth McCaughan

CANAVEROUS is not a word. (Cavernous?)

El'endia Starman

googles ...yeah, it's not. :(

I was thinking of CAVERNOUS.

Rubio

9:39 PM

anyway Avi got it, and can defend next - if you wish

PiIsNot3

@cairdcoinheringaahing It’s pronounced “eerie” in the states

El'endia Starman

Can confirm.

Rubio

^

Avi

uh, how do you start defending

this will probably be pretty quick since i don't get many clues lol

Avi

PiIsNot3

LEL

Gareth McCaughan

(ugh, I hate that sort of clue)

El'endia Starman

lol

Rubio

hehe

Avi

Avi is defending: D E L I Q

Gareth McCaughan

9:51 PM

@PiIsNot3 how can you LEL without LOLing first?

Rubio

"..." is "no more information needed here", and it wasn't.

hm.

Gareth McCaughan

I'd been lamenting my ignorance that made me unable to make a clever clue for what the word obviously is

El'endia Starman

I think that kills 4 and 6.

PiIsNot3

@GarethMcCaughan To LUL you into a false sense of security of course :)

Rubio

4 is dead. 6 is dead.

Avi

9:52 PM

what were they

Rubio

4 was DELICTO and 6 DELIBERATE

Avi

:o

Gareth McCaughan

1. Soluble enough to dissolve in water from the air

Avi

ahh

1 is a direct hit

Gareth McCaughan

so let's have a not-clever clue for it instead

:-)

Rubio

9:53 PM

hehe

Gareth McCaughan

(I'd have preferred to give an example or something but I couldn't think of one)

El'endia Starman

ugh, I don't know this one

PiIsNot3

c1

Avi

pass 1

Rubio

if you know it's a hit, you can just announce that "Yes, it is ..."

El'endia Starman

9:53 PM

It has to be guessed first though.

no, it doesn't.

formally, yes

1: DELIQUIDIFIABLE?

but in practice if no one else can think of it

PiIsNot3

I’m not sure that’s it though, rip

Gareth McCaughan

9:54 PM

as seems to be the case since PiIsNot3 got it wrong

then I can just make a clue like this one instead

Avi

1 is not deliquidifiable o.o

Gareth McCaughan

2. The word DELIQUESCENT

Avi

but in any case, gareth got it with DELIQUESCENT

PiIsNot3

Ah, nice vocab :)

Gareth McCaughan

which I think someone ought to be able to contact

Rubio

9:54 PM

ooh, ooh, I think I can contact 2

El'endia Starman

Never heard that one.

lol

I guess I can contact 2 too...

Avi

pass 2

but game is over :P

PiIsNot3

Yeah sure, why not, c2

El'endia Starman

Is it..... drumroll .... DELIQUESCENT???

Gareth McCaughan

amazing

Avi

9:55 PM

you didn't contact, pleb :)

you said "I guess I can contact..."

PiIsNot3

@El'endiaStarman How could you tell???

Avi

and since you used ... that means "no more information needed"

essentially denying the possibility of you saying "c2" afterwards :O

El'endia Starman

lol

Avi

since that would be needed information

Gareth McCaughan

Anyway. I don't really want to defend here because I see postmortes has made a correction to his crossnumber that I ran into a contradiction with, so I should probably finish the job.

Avi

9:56 PM

good luck

after that you can start on my picture crossword :)

\o

PiIsNot3

See ya!

Rubio

and I should probably pretend to be working again

El'endia Starman
