Rubio

01:00

huh. ok then.

Helka Homba

yeah

Gareth McCaughan

my 5 is also dead; was ANGUA (Terry Pratchett character)

Joel Harmon

@DestructibleLemon I believe the tradition with clues is they start with a number, then have the clue in bold (accomplished by surrounding with a double *)

Destructible Lemon

ok

I was lazy

Gareth McCaughan

don't be lazy

Destructible Lemon

01:01

I'm sorry

Rubio

Please fix it

Helka Homba

9: cn is

Rubio

It's hard enough picking out answers from clues

Destructible Lemon

@Rubio too late :P

Rubio

So retype it

Destructible Lemon

01:02

3: different in all directions. also its kind of the current letters plus an atom with a weird number of neutrons, plus an r in there. plus adjectivising

Gareth McCaughan

(just to reiterate, contact 3)

4. Surfactant?

Rubio

3: I am assuming this is ANISOTROPIC but I can't even guess at the construction

Gareth McCaughan

an+isot(r)opic

Destructible Lemon

yeah you got it

Gareth McCaughan

note that current letters were an not ani at that point

Rubio

01:03

oh. no wonder. :)

Gareth McCaughan

Destructible Lemon

1: current letters beast first three letters not working quite right

Gareth McCaughan

Rubio

1: It's not ANIMAL

Gareth McCaughan

(I think)

Destructible Lemon

01:04

1: yes

Rubio

that clue is just ... weird. "first" should be "last" I would think.

whatever :)

ffao

I'm guessing first 3 of malfunctioning

or something similar

Destructible Lemon

yes

Rubio

oh. is that was that was. got it

ffao

either way I didn't even get close to solving that clue so well done to both of you

Helka Homba

I contacted 4

Rubio

4: It's not ANION or ANIONIC maybe

Wesley Situ

01:12

contact 9?

Gareth McCaughan

4 was ANIONIC, well done

Rubio

rectal pull :)

PASS on 9

Wesley Situ

ANIMATION STUDIO? For Cartoon Network

Gareth McCaughan

if you look at the list of ingredients of a detergent you will often find "anionic surfactants" and "cationic surfactants"

Rubio

yeah I was literally about to pass it when that came to mind

Gareth McCaughan

01:13

(and also "nonionic surfactants")

Helka Homba

@WesleySitu yes on 9, or just ANIMATED/ION

ffao

for some reason, the list of ingredients of detergents are not frequently in my daily reading list

Rubio

Rubio defending: A N I M

Alconja

2: a boy becomes grizzly

Gareth McCaughan

(the word "surfactant" always freaks me out a little; my brain wants to parse it as sur-factant, something that does more than something else, but really it's surf-actant, something that acts on surfaces)

1 is still alive

6 was ANILINE and is dead

ffao

01:14

my guess for 7 was anion, so uncontacting if it lives

Destructible Lemon

3: the guy who draws through time

Gareth McCaughan

5 was ANISE and is dead

Helka Homba

@ffao 7 was ANION, it's dead

Rubio

huh, I parse it as SURFAC-TANT personally, which I'm sure isn't accurate but works :)

Wesley Situ

contact 2

Alconja

01:15

@GarethMcCaughan :) had that due to rubio's guess on 6, had to wait a bit before contacting so he wouldn't twig

Helka Homba

uncontact 1

Gareth McCaughan

yeah, thought that might be so :-)

Rubio

2: It's not ANIMORPH

Alconja

2: indeed it was

Destructible Lemon

2: a book, but not book series, starting with anim

Rubio

01:16

Destructible Lemon

Alconja

(FYI: I'm out of stars for the day)

Helka Homba

Gareth McCaughan

3. Bestial

Helka Homba

contact 3

Alconja

01:17

oh, contact 2

Rubio

3: it's not ANIMALISTIC

Gareth McCaughan

3 is not ANIMISTIC and I don't think it's what you meant to write either

Rubio

^

Gareth McCaughan

(can I assume, though, that your worse is not any of the obvious variations on that word, and save the trouble of writing clues for 'em?)

*word

Rubio

(it is not ANIMAL*)

ASCII-only

01:19

4. Pipe dream creator

Gareth McCaughan

oh, I meant on the one you actually wrote, which of course is a word even if not the one you meant

Rubio

n_palum

01:21

:P I got it as you sent that

Gareth McCaughan

1 was ANIMAL FARM

and I suspect 2 was too

Helka Homba

my clue 6 was ANIMATRONIC

Gareth McCaughan

("four legs good, two legs better")

@HelkaHomba ah. Care to explain it?

Rubio

I actually figured out the legs thing but have never read Animal Farm and couldn't place it

Alconja

2 may have been Animalia (kids picture book)

ffao

01:22

I assume the ball costume is for motion capture

Gareth McCaughan

oh, ball costume in that sense

Helka Homba

@ffao yeah, that thing

what the heck is 1?

Gareth McCaughan

well, since I need to quit now that probably means @HelkaHomba should defend next if they want

Helka Homba

was thinking AN INEQUALITY

Gareth McCaughan

1 was ANIMAL FARM, as I said above

Helka Homba

01:23

oh, sry

Rubio

ok I'm off for a few minutes, and then available only to attack sporadically, and only then maybe. :)

Helka Homba

@GarethMcCaughan no, I need to consume food soon, someone else can defend

Gareth McCaughan

looks like the crowd may be dispersing a bit

anyway, I'm off
