Morgan G

Wen1now

Do you have a fixed amount of stars per room, or across all rooms?

Rubio

per room per day

Sp3000

(I have words but no idea how to clue them, and cluing by letters is too obvious)

John Dvorak

40: effect that makes people not help because there is someone else who can

Rubio

pass 5

Eric Tressler

6:41 AM

5 is BYOB

contact 40

Sp3000

5 is BYOBB from memory (extra B here too)

Simpsons ref

Wen1now

Does that stand for something?

Eric Tressler

simpsons ref? really? I just assumed it meant what I said because that would make sense for a BBQ

John Dvorak

BYOB = bring your own BBQ

boboquack

contact 40

Rubio

6:43 AM

i'm not sure that contact hit then

Morgan G

contact 40

Morgan G

2. good

Rubio

6:44 AM

40 it's not BYSTANDER (EFFECT)

Eric Tressler

@boboquack it's not uniformly spelled that way

ffao

boboquack

^ and v

Wen1now

Note to self: kill obvious words early

Sp3000

fyi I'd have said no - looking up BBBQ for me is exclusively bringing up said Simpsons ep (it's not something used normally otherwise)

Eric Tressler

6:46 AM

so... I can't unstar rubio's message?

Sp3000

(Hmm apparently the extra B in BYOBB is revealed to be a typo in the ep... shrugs screw it, game's over :P)

ffao

I should probably get to watching the Simpsons

Morgan G

oh so yeah, i can't defend. Anyone else is welcome to, or go to bed

ffao

there's a huge list of stuff I was largely unimpressed by when a child and that I find hilarious now

Eric Tressler

I'll defend one more time, I guess

Wen1now
