Alconja
@boboquack ??
boboquack
Just the 3 of us
Alconja
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
Denude
Rubio
You got it
boboquack
(Denuclearise was mine)
Alconja
Sweet. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to take the reins... Sorry guys.
Rubio
oh. Yeah I guess there are probably some denuc* words
Yeah I'm done too
boboquack
Bye all!
Rubio

boboquack
Hello!
@Techidiot, you here?
Techidiot
Hey
I'm here
boboquack
You want to start?

Yep.
boboquack
I've got about 40 minutes, so what's your first letter?
Techidiot
8:48 AM
C
boboquack
Chocolate nut?
Techidiot
-1
boboquack
That's a clue for @The to solve
Techidiot
:p
Sorry
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...
Sp3000
8:53 AM
Contact on Bobo I guess, but seems guessable
boboquack
@Sp3000 Oh hi Sp!

boboquack

TheGreatEscaper
8:55 AM
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
(don't actually think that's a nut though)
boboquack
-1
It was going to be coconut
TheGreatEscaper
Ah right
Sp3000
8:58 AM

Techidiot
Hmm... Colors??
boboquack

Techidiot
So, now that I have guessed it right. What next?
I won?

boboquack
No-one can pester you with that clue anymore
Sp3000
8:59 AM
Nah, we continue with clues :P
boboquack
It's not that easy :P
