Contact

Rubio

20:00

1: About

n_palum

Maybe contact on 2

Rubio

heh. ok I have to do this.

GentlePurpleRain

I'm hoping 2 isn't PROPOSAL (because it wouldn't fit)

Rubio

3: YOU ARE NOT ....!

n_palum

contact 3 xD

Beastly Gerbil

20:01

yes it was

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio not PREPARED for 3

Rubio

:)

Beastly Gerbil

Why doesn't it fit?

Rubio

cuz it's PREP, not PROP

n_palum

we are PREP

GentlePurpleRain

20:01

Because it doesn't start with PREP

Wesley Situ

4: "NO WAY! THAT'S ____!"

Rubio

contact 4

Beastly Gerbil

oh god I really can't spell

GentlePurpleRain

@WesleySitu not PREPOSTEROUS

Wesley Situ

yep

Rubio

20:02

2: Popped collar locale, maybe

n_palum

It's not PREP/S/PED right?

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio not PREP SCHOOL

Rubio

@n_palum We don't know that

2:✔

GentlePurpleRain

I don't understand n_palum's question.

n_palum

If you've already spelled your word or some variation of it

Rubio

20:04

uncovering PREP we can safely know it's not "PREP"

Wesley Situ

3: Over, off, and out, for example

Rubio

but we don't strictly speaking know it's not, say, PREPS

contact 3

GentlePurpleRain

@WesleySitu not PREPOSITIONS

Wesley Situ

yep

Beastly Gerbil

hmmm

Rubio

20:05

2: Weight

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio not PREPOSITION/PREPOSITIONAL for 1

Rubio

1:✔

1: Push up

GentlePurpleRain

To be fair, it probably should have been "About, for example"... :)

Rubio

yes, yes.

I was being stealthy. :)

There are surprisingly few PREP* words.

anonymous2

Credit card (if it hasn't been used already...)

Rubio

20:08

contact

GentlePurpleRain

@anonymous2 not PREPAYMENT?

Rubio

but that's hyphenated, isn't it?

anonymous2

@GentlePurpleRain Close enough: prepaid.

GentlePurpleRain

Any contact on the others, or should I keep guessing?

anonymous2

@Rubio Maybe it is: I didn't think so, but maybe it is.

Rubio

20:09

Yeah, looking at it in type it seems ok.

3: Map out in advance

Beastly Gerbil

Already wrapped

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio not PREPLAN

@BeastlyGerbil not PREPARED

Rubio

GentlePurpleRain

Rubio

GentlePurpleRain

20:13

@BeastlyGerbil We've already had that twice. PREPOSITION

Rubio

n_palum

PREDETERMINED was mine

Beastly Gerbil

ah sorry

Rubio

that's not PREP

anonymous2

7. Tigger's chin

Wesley Situ

20:14

yea, not sure how fine the line is for suffixes

n_palum

oh goodness I did it again

Rubio

in general if it's a close or common suffix we'll give it to you

n_palum

These meds are really making me think slower..

GentlePurpleRain

Clarify the rules for me. It's possible that one of these clues is my answer, but I'm not sure. What do I do?

Rubio

I think so too.

n_palum

20:16

Wait for contact and say pass

Rubio

You can "It's not FOO"

if you think it more likely than not

GentlePurpleRain

There is no contact.

Wesley Situ

i dont think you need to release the word until someone contacts it correctly

you're just forced to pass on the clue

Rubio

Or, you can wait for a contact, or, you can see if the clue giver will give it up

I'm going to maybe help it along

2: is now Weight of evidence

1: is now Move forward in time

Beastly Gerbil

Greather than

GentlePurpleRain

20:18

And still no contacts...

Rubio

oy vey

Wesley Situ

shrug

Rubio

welp. GPR i would think you can guess 1 & 2 with considerable certainty

GentlePurpleRain

I can guess one, which I suspect is my word. The other I'm still having trouble with.

Rubio

Probably struggling with 1, and for good cause.

GentlePurpleRain

20:21

Okay, let's just end this.

I suspect that "Greather than" is PREPONDERANTLY and "Weight of evidence" is PREPONDERANCE <-- my word

Rubio

Yes. Preponderance.

Beastly Gerbil

mine was prepotent

anonymous2

And mine was preposterous (not sure of spelling...)

GentlePurpleRain

And what in blazes was "Tigger's chin"?

Rubio

(1 was PREPONE, an abomination of a word if I've ever seen one, but ... some people think it's a thing, so ...)

GentlePurpleRain

20:22

We already had preposterous.

n_palum

preposterous is right spelling

anonymous2

@GentlePurpleRain Tigger says, when looking in the mirror, "What beady little eyes! What a preposterous chin!"

Rubio

how is tigger's chin preposterous, btw?

Oh. heh

anonymous2

Not my idea. That was his.

Rubio

You're a little more versed in that :)

GentlePurpleRain

20:23

Well, I guess Rubio is up next?

anonymous2

@GentlePurpleRain Sorry, I came in midway.

Rubio

Rubio defending: N

Rubio

anonymous2

Er, bacon? Pig?

Ok.

Rubio

wow.

Wesley Situ

but i suppose i should withdraw that clue if youre questioning it

anonymous2

@WesleySitu No, we just needed to know that that wasn't a spelling mistake.

Rubio

(I'm the one who knows little about LoL or Pokemon, if that helps you decide)

Wesley Situ

20:36

its not related to either of those

anonymous2

5: Big Black Bird

Wesley Situ

it is related to a forum of sorts that I'd say is popular, but the quote may still be niche

anonymous2

Rubio

oy, these clues. hehe

My only solace is that nobody else knows them either

n_palum

contact 3

Rubio

Illogical / It's not Nonsense

n_palum

20:39

Give Rubio a chance to guess some rather than making more clues anon

anonymous2

Yep.

n_palum

And I was going for nonsensical but sure

anonymous2

I'm going to clear 1. since no one seems to know it, and I know it's not Rubio's word.

Rubio

I dunno on 3. PASSING - go for it @n_palum

n_palum

Wesley Situ

Rubio

anonymous2

6 dies; it was "niche"

Rubio

20:41

What forum is that from?

Wesley Situ

anonymous2

Hey, someone cleared one that still worked.

The Big Black Bird is still valid.

Wesley Situ

it's a quote that lets other redditors know that you are a redditor

Rubio

I see.

anonymous2

Someone mind starring it again, please? (pretty please?)

Rubio

20:42

6/ that was awful. :)

anonymous2
