I gave the word away

I think it's over

We lost

Funky Computer Man

no I lost

1:01 AM

no, it's not "losing", it's @FunkyComputerMan choosing a word that nobody knew

the goal of the game isn't to pick the most obscure word you can think of at the beginning

Funky Computer Man

I didn't think it very obscure

how many times must variations of that word be clued?

Funky Computer Man

does anyone want to clue? I've already gone but I really don't mind going again

@0 ' That's your word?

wait, is the game over?

contact 9 if not

1:42 AM

@ppperry Yeah, I realized that towards the end. I had a mental block where I had separated the meaning of INTEGRAL and the meaning of INTEGRATE (like integrated circuit) in my head.

@ppperry game is over

8 was also INTEGRAL

9 = integrity

yeah

again

because derivatives are represented by prime symbols

1:44 AM

Does anyone want to go next?

I don't want to defend

Funky Computer Man

I always want to defend

I can defend, I guess

Funky Computer Man

thats clever

8 is not PLANTING. Good guess, though.

1:59 AM

61: fields are also for this

ah, I thought you were being clever. field operations makes me think math, but the operations there are called addition and multiplication - so the literal meaning is what I assumed you were going for
