Wen1now

Deusovi

Also, why would it be INVADER?

IMPORT+ANT is correct though

micsthepick

I know, I'm just dumb

Wen1now

Why perhaps?

ffao

I was half-way there -.-'

Deusovi

why not?

ffao

04:07

ffao defending: I M P

Deusovi

Wen1now

04:10

Deusovi

contact 100'

Rubio

ffao

04:11

100': imperative?

Volatility

contact 4 maybe

Rubio

100' not imperative

ffao

100': imperial? (and if that's it, I must point out how ironic it is that it's numbered 100)

micsthepick

I can't unstar 9

ffao

I'll go with imperialism for 4 too

Wen1now

04:14

Rubio

ffao

Sp3000

Nope

Rubio

PASS on 12, I have no idea :)

ffao

12: cartridge

Y. Zhang

Is it meant to be cear?

Deusovi

Rubio

Volatility

04:36

wow

Deusovi

yep, I had the same reaction

ffao

how the hell did you get that with the original spelling, Deus?

Deusovi

Sp3000
