feelinferrety

feelinferrety

@Rubio ...is it burlap??

Sherlock9

Oh, 2''' is contacted

Rubio

eh. no.

Mike Q

If not, then pass 2'''

feelinferrety

7:23 PM

Not that I found

ppperry

2''': BATTLE?

Rubio

I assume you mean 221'''

Sherlock9

feelinferrety

barrycarter

Is there any "easy" way to see what's already been guessed for given numbers?

Mike Q

Wait, what was 40' then

feelinferrety

7:24 PM

Rubio

nope. you kinda gotta read the transcript, or search it

40' was BRAID

QUIBBLE not a weave

contact 20

oh pish :)

Unless you're talking "A weave"

Mike Q

7:25 PM

Pass 20

barrycarter

(it actually showed up in the search but over 2 months ago)

Rubio

oh. if you found the answer for 20 that way you can't really contact it

Sherlock9

Since Rubio contacted 2''' after Mike passed, should I say what 2''' is or do I let Rubio guess?

barrycarter

Rubio, no, I searched for what I knew the answer was

Just to make sure it hadn't been said in this chat alreay.

Mike Q

I'm really confused right now. Did anyone else contact 2'''?

Rubio

7:26 PM

ah ok then

feelinferrety

I'd say go ahead and guess

barrycarter

So, do I say it, or does someone have to call on me? :)

BORAX

Rubio

I can't validly contact 2''', I didn't see it'd been passed already

Avigrail

Attackers' problem if they don't star properly :o)

Sherlock9

2''' is BOER

Rubio

7:27 PM

20: BORAX ✔️

Mike Q

Mule team = Borax? Why?

feelinferrety

I don't star since the ability to unstar goes away very quickly unless you're an RO or a mod, so someone else is stuck doing it anyway

barrycarter

Old advertisement

Rubio

specifically, "20 Mule Team Borax" is like their product slogan. go figure.

I think you have to reveal...

Avigrail

7:53 PM

@feelinferrety Also nice one

Rubio

nope.

Mike Q

Nobody else contacted it, what was it?

feelinferrety

for the record, Deus reserves all the time for the sake of his stringed clues

but yeah if it's a standalone, it DIES

ppperry

usually when they die, rather than are wrongly contacted

John Dvorak

You can withhold if it dies, but not if a contact fails. At least according to meta.

Rubio

7:54 PM

meh.

very well.

feelinferrety

eh, in that case I think it goes BAND[...]

it is B AND A N A

Ahhhh

... oh

Why the apostrophe?

7:55 PM

that ' then was NO BUENO

either it reads 1' or 'n, neither of which are valid for that answer

Mike Q

VTC extra apostrophe

feelinferrety

VTC VLQ

Rubio

it was crypticish. punctuation can be ignored, except when it can't.

feelinferrety

Then where's the letter count?

Rubio

there isn't one.

Mike Q

7:56 PM

VTC because I said so

feelinferrety

Then what's the cryptic

Rubio

it doesn't have to be a perfectly valid cryptic for Contact. :)

anyway. moving on ...

John Dvorak

All is fair in Contact and code golf

Sherlock9

I thought it was from an esoteric language where character literals are 'a

Mike Q

Hey, my cryptic clues may have been war-crime levels of bad, but at least they were mostly valid
