some of these, er, more oblique clues don't actually move the game forward - if nobody can get them, there's little point in setting them

awesomepi

Helka Homba

uncontact 45

Isaac Soto

03:08

How do I bold my clues?

Joel Harmon

contact 28

Deusovi

pass 28

Joel Harmon

SPECTRAL

awesomepi

cool

yay we win?

Deusovi

SPECTRAL was indeed my word! (Sorry, @HelkaHomba. I wasn't sure whether to count it when you said it, since no clues pointed towards it)

Rubio

Nope, doesn't count in that case

Helka Homba

03:37

It's fine

Deusovi

didn't think so

Rubio

(I might have given it at SPECTER, but it's borderline)

Deusovi

(also, I wasn't sure whether to accept SPECTER or SPECTRUM - SPECTRAL is the adjective form of both of those, which I thought was sufficiently interesting to be different)

Rubio

@awesomepi You're up

ffao

I would have given that to the specter clue

Joel Harmon

03:37

thanks for playing; later, all

Rubio

2 was SPECIES btw

Helka Homba

oh, durr

Rubio

incesterror21

✔ ✘

@Deusovi You think it would be useful to pin a set of symbols for the game? I've seen peole use ✔ to confirm clues. That way the symbols would be easy to access.

(I can't think of any other than ✔ & ✘ though)

✨

boboquack

I'm here sort-of

@incesterror21 We used to use +1/-1

numbermaniac

07:47

"used to"; some people still do, Alconja for example

boboquack

I still use it sometimes to. "used to" as in most people used it (see here)

numbermaniac

ah, I see

Rubio

Keeping one symbol in the clipboard is trivial. Having to go back and forth between
✔ and ✘ would get old fast.

boboquack

Well, that's four people. Want to start a game?

Rubio

I'd go

boboquack

07:55

@Rubio Why not, if there's really no-one around, we'll soon see

numbermaniac

i don't know if you mean you're going to leave or you're going to play

Rubio

Ok speed round coming up -

short words, quick passes, and you have to get my word exactly

numbermaniac

this is interesting
