but I don't get the decimal...

Rubio

Oh, I hadn't passed on that

Ankoganit

"decimal point" (.) minus(-) "point" (.)?

Alconja

@boboquack ??

Just the 3 of us

I'll have to go soonish too (though will be ping-able for a few hours after, if needed for my current clue)

boboquack

!

#2 A fever like Zika

Alconja

7:01 AM

I can think of a partial/possible contact there... But don't fully understand

Rubio

Denue?

er Dengue

boboquack

+1

(transmission)

Alconja

#2 On the tip of my tongue... Which is helpful...

boboquack

I'm having trouble thinking of any DEN words

Rubio

On a lark I will guess DENTAL for both #1 and #2

boboquack

7:04 AM

#2 Nothing to see here

Rubio

Denial

boboquack

+1

grrr...

#2 Rubio should be ashamed of themselves!

You might need to ping Alconja with your guess

Rubio

oh yeah

@Alconja On a lark I will guess DENTAL for both #1 and #2

Denounce, or denunciation

Alconja

@Rubio ...close on both... Given no one else had contact and I have to go soon, I'll give them to you (dentist and dentures)

boboquack

@Rubio +1

Rubio

7:07 AM

ok I would have gone to dentist next

so I wasn't far off anyway

Alconja

Exactly. Right ballpark, and from there a likely path

boboquack

Just one left!

Rubio

That one is puzzling

boboquack

Take me 4 a spin! (nothing to do with it)

@Rubio Isn't that why you signed up?

Rubio

No. I signed up for the fame and fortune. The puzzles were just a sideshow.

Ask me how it's working out so far

Aww. That one looked interesting.

Alconja

7:09 AM

I think someone already clued that word

boboquack

Mine is similar to .-.

Rubio

Nothing preventing a redo

obviously a lot of repeats are not fun, but the occasional one slipped in could be a useful tactic actually ;)

@boboquack yeah I figured

Alconja

Ok, now massively hinted: collapsed celebrity

Rubio

I'm going to guess dense / density, for a collapsed star

Alconja

+1

Never mind. I'm an idiot. :)

Rubio

7:12 AM

Oh, now you have to share :)

Alconja

Child eater => dingo, with a cleverly disguised typo. :P

boboquack

?! What a bad message to those people!

Rubio

hahaa

very very cleverly disguised typo

boboquack

#2 ^ This one and this one only

Alconja

the nerve!

Rubio

7:16 AM

@Alconja seems like Denounce/denunciate again

boboquack

4 sp=?

Alconja

No. (Though a very uncommon word.. I'm clutching a little)

boboquack

Contact!

Rubio

@boboquack I don't think I'm going to get that one

boboquack

Dendrite!

Alconja

7:17 AM

Yes

:)

boboquack

Oops, didn't see what the comment was pointing to

Rubio

bah. I wasn't passing on Alconja's yet, I was commenting on YOURS

boboquack

4 spaces=?

Rubio

But I'm sleepy and I wouldn't have gotten it, so I'll award you the letter

Alconja

D'oh. Confusion reigns.

Rubio

7:18 AM

@Rubio defending: D E N U

enjoy that

boboquack

Mine was Dent = (indent-in)

#2 was Denote

Rubio

I can only think of 4 words that work from here, and I've already ruled one of those out

Alconja

strip

Rubio

that's probably it

What's your word

boboquack

Disarm heavily

Alconja

7:22 AM

Rubio

boboquack

But you can guess...

Techidiot

8:50 AM

Still learning..I will learn the rules by the end of the day if I keep playing

boboquack

You guess what I'm cluing

Techidiot

Do I need to say Contact before guessing? Or I can simply guess?

TheGreatEscaper

You're the defender, so you just guess

Techidiot

Ah okay.

Coffe?

boboquack

Then if you get it right, you successfully defended, otherwise if @The says contact and you give up, and he gets it right, you reveal another letter

-1

@The, you can make a clue too!

Keep guessing...

Okay, so @Techidiot now you're threatened
Sp thinks he has my clue, so if you don't get my clue and Sp is right, you have to reveal another letter

boboquack

@TheGreatEscaper But @Tech has to give up first

Techidiot

I give up for now.

boboquack

@Sp3, want to do a clue too?

Sp3000

Which one do you give up on?

boboquack

(Oh, and @Tech, don't say the original word you're thinking of)

Techidiot

8:57 AM

Bobo's Chocolate nut

Sp3000

My guess for Bobo's: COCOA

Techidiot

Oh. Good. I was going to give the word out :)

Sp3000

boboquack

It was going to be coconut
