user277956

T A L

user277956

:36804429 Heh. Not that easy.

user277956

@Techidiot No idea.

Sid

Sorry, I had something different in mind

n_palum

Use the same format

and say 'pass' and some indication of the clue that you're passing on

user277956

13:03

Just pin it: T A L

Sconibulus

3: Fetish (not that kind)

user277956

@Sconibulus Seriously ?

dcfyj

The spaces are killing it

Sconibulus

@HosePipe :)

dcfyj

@Sconibulus I think I know what you're talking about, but I don't remember what they're called other than fetishes

n_palum

13:04

Fish

user277956

I have no fetishes about fetishes, so I can't say, @Sconibulus :).

Techidiot

Contact @Sconibulus

user277956

So reveal.

Techidiot

TALISMAN?

Sconibulus

Correct!

dcfyj

13:05

Ah, of course

@HosePipe A fetish is a Voodoo thing

user277956

My vocabulary is just too low.

dcfyj

?

Techidiot

I was going to clue that but didn't had a better clue for that word. ;)

n_palum

Can some other room owner unstar the T A one? It won't let me

Techidiot

Done

user277956

13:06

Pin it again: T A L E

Sid

user277956

13:07

Tale

Techidiot

How is my clue still standing :-/ That's super easy :D

Unless you don't know what it is

n_palum

It also won't let me unpin the TAL one now

Techidiot

Done

n_palum

Thanks

user277956

@Techidiot Talekeeper/ Talebearer ?

Techidiot

13:08

Nope

dcfyj

Looks like a CC to me

user277956

Taleman ?

Techidiot

It is @dcfyj

n_palum

Contact Techi hesitantly

on cartoon

dcfyj

oh contact

I know what it is

Sid

13:09

Story sounds so anti aptitude

n_palum

Is that an edit to your earlier clue Sid?

Sid

Um, earlier clue?

user277956

I know only half a dozen words with TALE, I wonder how you guys are finding so much.

n_palum

Also my Fish clue died - TALAPIA

@Sid You clued "Story"

Sconibulus

3: Measure of ancient coinage

user277956

13:10

@Techidiot No idea.

dcfyj

If you give up on tech cartoon clue, I contacted it ^^

user277956

@Sconibulus Talent

Sconibulus

yep

Sid

@n_palum This is different

n_palum

dc go on Techi, I'll go if you miss

user277956

13:11

Hey @Techidiot, your answer ?

dcfyj

talespin/tailspin

n_palum

I had talespin too

Techidiot

Yep. The first

dcfyj

I don't remember how it's spelled

n_palum

TALE

Techidiot

13:11

Talespin

Sconibulus

tailspin is the word, talespin may be a comic

n_palum

I think he meant the cartoon

Techidiot

TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a half-hour animated adventure series based in the fictional city of Cape Suzette, that first aired in 1990 as a preview on The Disney Channel and later that year as part of The Disney Afternoon, with characters adapted from Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book, which was theatrically rereleased in the summer before this show premiered in the fall. The name of the show is a play on tailspin, the rapid descent of an aircraft in a steep spiral. The two words in the show's name, tale and spin, are a way to describe telling a story. The show is one of the nine Disney Afternoon...

dcfyj

Was about to link that :P

user277956

@Techidiot Googling is allowed ?

dcfyj

13:12

no, he was showing the spelling post solve

n_palum

No it isn't

Sid

Um, ROs can you just edit my clue to remove the "so"?

user277956

Get ready to type very quickly, 'cause when I reveal the next letter, it would (most probably) narrow down the possiblities to one:

user277956

Pin: T A L E N

user277956

(Not clued before)

n_palum

13:13

Isn't letting me unstar Techi's clue

Techidiot

@HosePipe Nope. Not allowed.

n_palum

@Sid ROs can't edit your stuff, only mods

Techidiot

^

Sconibulus

3: Utterly without ability

Sid

Meh. So, you guys have no power beside pinning and unpinning.

n_palum

13:14

And cancelling stars

@Sconibulus Contact utterly

Sconibulus

yeah, it's not much of a power trip

dcfyj

@Sconibulus contact

Sconibulus

we even have to abide by the same star limit

n_palum

We aren't @Deus "The Banhammer" ovi

dcfyj

lol

n_palum

13:15

;)

dcfyj

If he's a banhammer its because of our recurring rash

n_palum

Lol I guess so

Interesting....

dcfyj

mmhmmm

Sid

Yeah, I had thought so, earlier...

dcfyj

me too

n_palum

13:17

AK shows up... can't open HosePipe name, and now it lists as: "Pin: T A L E N - 3m ago by user277956"

I had a feeling but was giving them benefit of the doubt

Sconibulus

err...

Sid

Surprising that a new user would know about contact and so easily understand the rules..

dcfyj

I checked how new he was when I came in here, and I saw 101. I was quite skeptical

n_palum

:P Room owners do have option to kick-mute

Sid

In any case, my clue was "TALE+NT". (So was not required. It just made the surface reading okay-ish)

Sconibulus

13:19

mine was Talentless

n_palum

^ I had that

dcfyj

yup

Sconibulus

Um, TechIdiot defends now, for last contacted clue?

n_palum

Sure if he's up for that

@Techidiot

Techidiot

Hey

I am in. Just not defending. Working in parallel to this

dcfyj

13:23

@Sconibulus You had the last contacted clue...

Sconibulus

it wasn't Talespin?

dcfyj

I contacted talentless

Sconibulus

yeah, but that wasn't passed on

n_palum

Does anyone want to defend because we can just do that

Sconibulus

I meant the one that got us the last letter

dcfyj

13:24

Ah, that's what you mean

n_palum

Okay if people are going to hang around I can defend

Techidiot

@n_palum Go ahead. :)

n_palum

Defending: N

dcfyj

1. Cardinal

n_palum

Not NORTH

dcfyj

13:32

:P

2. Knights have said this in the past

Techidiot

-

Sconibulus

@dcfyj contact

Techidiot

^ That one of mine is a clue.

dcfyj

@Techidiot contact, I think

Sconibulus

3: Object reference not set to an instance of an Object

dcfyj

13:35

@Sconibulus contact, lol

n_palum

@Sconibulus Not NULLREFERENCE? OR NRE?

or NULL

@dcfyj not NEE?

dcfyj

Why is tech's clue pinned?

Sconibulus

I dunno, I can't kill it

n_palum

Same ^

Sconibulus

3: right, was thinking null reference

dcfyj

13:36

I've not seen it spelled that way before, but yes

n_palum

I don't know how to spell it just know the sound

Sconibulus

crap, can't undo the clear

dcfyj

4. 2

Sconibulus

n_palum

13:39

Someone contacted it, so I pass

dcfyj

n_palum

Techi

Unless it's Negate

dcfyj

the - clue?

n_palum

Yeah

Techidiot

13:39

Yup

Sconibulus

6. Lovegood's nemeses

n_palum

Wait I got it with that last ditch effort?

dcfyj

Ah I was thinking naught

lol

@Sconibulus If I'd read those, I would probably know the answer

Techidiot

Who is saying what word? @n_palum What are you guessing it to be?

Negative is right.

dcfyj

His last guess on your clue was negate

n_palum

13:41

Oh eh I guess it's close enough but you probably shouldn't have given it up, although dc's guess was wrong

dcfyj

It was lol

n_palum

@Sconibulus My only thought for N named characters is NEVILLE

Techidiot

It's almost same. So, that's fine.

Sconibulus

not Neville

Techidiot

contact @2 I think. (too broad thought) :p

Sconibulus

13:42

as I recall, they got on rather well

dcfyj

neville?

n_palum

Go on 2, I have - idea

dcfyj

oh

Sconibulus

Number?

n_palum

That's what I thought Scon but wasn't sure of other names

Techidiot

13:42

Two :p

dcfyj

no

n_palum

The clue 4, number 2

Techidiot

Oops

dcfyj

Its not number

Techidiot

What was it?

dcfyj

13:43

anyone else contacted that?

n_palum

Don't think so

dcfyj

ok

t'was "ni" (Japanese for two)

Sconibulus

dcfyj

7. Jack-Jack

n_palum

Oh nice.. and JackJack makes me think of The Incredibles

Sid

13:45

@dcfyj half-contact on 5.city...

Sconibulus

oh, 6. Lovegood needs a star

dcfyj

Does not :P

n_palum

@Sid Identity, not NAME?

Sid

Yeah...

dcfyj

I wish PMs were a thing lol

n_palum

13:46

Kinda yeah

It would remove that whole private chat room debate too

dcfyj

Indeed

Sid

Remove the star on my clue..

n_palum

City/Personality - not NICE?

dcfyj

yes

n_palum

It is like not at all allowing me to unstar/unpin things today.. just pin

dcfyj

13:47

@sid, I would, but it won't let me :(

Feeds

Sconibulus has added dcfyj to the list of this room's owners.

dcfyj

Nifty

(It was my star, that was the only reason I was trying to remove it)

Sconibulus

1. Star approaching Sol

n_palum

Please (don't ab)use the power

dcfyj

Has anyone contacted those two clues?

Sconibulus

13:49

I don't think so

n_palum

not NORTH STAR?

dcfyj

@n_palum I highly doubt I'll remember I have it

Sconibulus

nope

n_palum

or NEBULA? or NEPTUNE?

Sconibulus

neither

dcfyj

13:50

Neptune isn't a star

Sid

New book

n_palum

@dcfyj I just use it to try and help pin/unstar, but it isn't working much

They're just guesses shh

dcfyj

@Sid contact I think

n_palum

not NOVEL?

Sid

Yep!

n_palum

13:52

I'm really stuck on nemeses and jack jack

dcfyj

I know one of those

n_palum

Did you contact one?

dcfyj

>.<

n_palum

I haven't passed so feel free

dcfyj

Jack-Jack is mine, that's why I know it lol

n_palum

13:53

Oh I'm dumb

dcfyj

Wish I knew the other

Sconibulus

2. Speakers in code

Gareth McCaughan

contact 6 @Sconibulus Lovegood's nemeses (though my memory is unreliable and I might be wrong)

[NB here only intermittently; am at work]

dcfyj

Woohoo! another person

That's why I don't plan on defending

Gareth McCaughan

contact 2 @Sconibulus Speakers in code

n_palum

13:55

What's NB again?

also if my memory serves me, for Lovegood - Some dude named Nutt or Nots?

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum usually NB stands for Latin "nota bene" meaning more or less the same as English "note" (as imperative verb).

@n_palum I think you mean Nott and I am pretty certain he isn't the intended answer.

n_palum

Ahh, thank you

@GarethMcCaughan That's the guy..

Sconibulus

There was a guy named Nott, but he... what Gareth said :)

n_palum

If it isn't him, all you Gareth

Gareth McCaughan

I think it's NIFFLERS.

Sconibulus

13:56

nope, sadly. It was Nargles

dcfyj

It specifically says nemeses (plural) so it's more than one

Gareth McCaughan

(one of her probably-imaginary creatures, like the Crumple-Horned Snorkack)

n_palum

Ahh Nifflers made sense

Gareth McCaughan

ah, bother, should have thought of nargles

Sconibulus

Nifflers were real mole-like creatures that found shinys

dcfyj

13:57

Oh nargles, I know that word from Harry Potter, didn't know she took it from Lovegood

Gareth McCaughan

yup. dammit, sorry.

Sconibulus

well... "real"

morning meeting, be back in 5-10

Gareth McCaughan

@dcfyj I think you may be confusing Lovegood (character in Harry Potter) with Lovecraft (real horror author)

dcfyj

That's a short meeting

n_palum

He has 2 of the clues up XD

is JackJack NEPHEW somehow

Techidiot

13:58

Really short... :-O I will love those kind of meetings

dcfyj

Oh, I read that as Lovecraft >.<

I would've known that answer lol

No not nephew

n_palum

I have like no idea

dcfyj

You've got time, no one's contacted it
