I believe 4 was MINAS MORGUL

Silenus

I'll give away my defense to anyone who wants it.

Sconibulus

yep

Joel Harmon

are two word clues legal, then?

ASCII-only

@JoelHarmon Yes

like Rubio did "MISCHIEF MANAGED" earlier

Sconibulus

02:02

for attack, yes; for defense, no

Rubio

attackers can clue anything they can get people to guess, as long as the defender is not hopelessly incapable of guessing it

defenders must have a single, actual, Scrabble-legal (tile restrictions excluded) non-proper-noun word

Deusovi

02:18

Ooh, games are (were?) going on?

ffao

Were, everyone kind of left after the first one

Deusovi

awesomepi

We should yell at Rubio for posting cryptics against Deusovi

I got sorry from the def, but not from the wordplay
