a locus is a set of points satisfying a given condition
like a ellipse is A locus

Mike Q

Sconibulus
8:21 PM
that's a dumb message :)
I like 'Come Here' for the telephone way better
Sconibulus defending:
L O C
Jan Dvorak
411 dies (Lobachevski), 44 dies (Lost)
Mike Q
10 dies (LOXODONTA), 9 dies (LORD VOLDEMORT)
mdc32
are the numbers arbitrary or is there a meaning to them
Jan Dvorak
Yes
Mike Q
Assume they are arbitrary, but sometimes a clue will include its number as part of the clue
Sconibulus
8:23 PM
they're usually arbitrary, but sometimes have hidden meaning
Deusovi
@Sconibulus It was supposed to be "login", but it cut off after the "o"
10.
___ of control
mdc32
20:
plague
Deusovi
contact 20 (also, we typically
**bold**
clues so they're easier to see)
Sconibulus
pass 20
Deusovi
LOCUSTS
Sconibulus
8:25 PM
✔✔
Jan Dvorak
nice
Mike Q
I assume 10 was also LOCUST, as in a "locust of control"
Sconibulus
locus probably
which is a similar but entirely different word :)
Jan Dvorak
Locusts of control are not a thing
Mike Q
No no, I'm sure it's locust. If you have an external locust of control, then you believe that your life is determined by seasonal insect swarms.
Deusovi
8:27 PM
that sounds like a bad cartoon villain's scheme
"And now the ENTIRE TOWN will be taken over by my... LOCUSTS OF CONTROL!"
thecoder16
true
Jan Dvorak
probably inspired by the ten plagues
This means that MDC should defend now
mdc32
oh no
what have i done
Jan Dvorak
You have ... won.
Deusovi
eh, not "winning" per se
you don't have to defend though - that's just the default we use if nobody can decide who's going next
(typically we're all content in either role)
mdc32
8:29 PM
i'd rather not right now
Mike Q
Ok then. Who wants to defend?
GentlePurpleRain
I could probably do one.
dcfyj
Apparently my 11 never got starred or guessed lol
Jan Dvorak
It did get starred
dcfyj
Ah ok (on mobile so I couldn't tell even if it were) I was just guessing that it hadn't been starred since I never saw a guess on it.
Jan Dvorak
8:40 PM
It was starred. I just don't know the word that was wanted.
dcfyj
Either way, the answer was limb from limb
Jan Dvorak
... oh.
GentlePurpleRain
Defending:

Jan Dvorak
Well, the first reveal is going to be underwhelming :P
