)

contact 2 if @EricTressler is here
contact 73 if @DJMcMayhem is here
Eric Tressler
@GarethMcCaughan hi
Gareth McCaughan
hi! We're trying to resurrect the Contact game, as you can probably tell.
Who's actually here and paying any attention right now?
Eric Tressler
I also c73
DJMcMayhem
7:40 PM
@GarethMcCaughan With
Binky
or *Blinky :P
Gareth McCaughan
With "Blinky", of course.
DJMcMayhem
I'm here more or less
I think we kinda need @micsthepick
Gareth McCaughan
3.
Composer famous for murdering his wife and lover
DJMcMayhem
We could always start a new game of course
Gareth McCaughan
yeah, we do. I was hoping he might still/again be here, since he was not so very long ago.
Eric Tressler
7:41 PM
we could start a new one if he's not around; we had barely begun
Gareth McCaughan
true
DJMcMayhem
Anyone else want to defend?
Eric Tressler
@GarethMcCaughan want to defend? I have just about enough time for 1 game
Gareth McCaughan
so we have me, @EricTressler, @DJMcMayhem and maaaybe @Mithrandir. Is that enough for a game?
Yeah, OK, I can defend.
DJMcMayhem
Yeah
Gareth McCaughan
7:45 PM
Gareth defending:
F
I'll try to make this quick, in so far as I have the power to do so without just gratuitously throwing things.
Eric Tressler
1:
Pivotal component of a simple machine
Gareth McCaughan
1 is FULCRUM
Eric Tressler
correct
2:
Shape of a bevel gear
DJMcMayhem
73:
Electric motor inventor
Eric Tressler
c73?
Gareth McCaughan
7:49 PM
@DJMcMayhem 73 might be FARADAY; I forget whether he invented an/the electric motor, but he certainly might have.
Eric Tressler
that was my guess too
DJMcMayhem
Yep. It was Faraday
Gareth McCaughan
@EricTressler Perhaps 2 is FRUSTUM?
Eric Tressler
2: correct
DJMcMayhem
74:
Freddie's entertainment
75:
Plurality of sticks
Gareth McCaughan
7:52 PM
@DJMcMayhem I have no idea who Freddie might be; perhaps 74 might be FUN or FUNFAIR or FAIR?
Eric Tressler
3:
Instigate a rebellion
Gareth McCaughan
@DJMcMayhem 75 might, a bit farfetchedly, be FOREST?
@EricTressler 3 is probably FOMENT.
DJMcMayhem
No on both
Eric Tressler
3 is foment
DJMcMayhem
74 is pretty obscure
Revised 74:
Freddy _______'s Entertainment
Ignore the spelling change
Gareth McCaughan
7:54 PM
that unfortunately just makes me more confident I don't know it :-).
@DJMcMayhem 75 could, I suppose, also be FENCE.
DJMcMayhem
If no one else can contact it, I'll just give it up. It's pretty obscure
@GarethMcCaughan Also no
Gareth McCaughan
no particular need to give anything up yet; new players might arrive...
DJMcMayhem
Speaking of which...
Eric Tressler
4:
Musical instrument component and mild swear
Gareth McCaughan
@EricTressler Might 4 be F-HOLE?!
though I'm not sure it's really a
component
Eric Tressler
7:56 PM
4: no
DJMcMayhem
Ahh
Clever guess
Gareth McCaughan
or perhaps FIDDLESTICK(S)?
Eric Tressler
that's it
Sid
16.
F1 Car
Eric Tressler
6:
Violent result of a mistake in the chemistry lab
DJMcMayhem
7:57 PM
C 16?
Erik the Outgolfer
1:
Chemistry.
Sid
contact 6
Gareth McCaughan
@EricTressler 6 might perhaps be FUMES?
Eric Tressler
6: no
Gareth McCaughan
or FLAMES?
@Sid perhaps 16 is FERRARI?
Eric Tressler
7:58 PM
no again, so apparently it's not a great clue
Sid
@GarethMcCaughan 16 is correct.
..uncontact 6
Erik the Outgolfer
2:
Not an accomplishment.
DJMcMayhem
C 6?
Eric Tressler
updated 6 to begin with "violent"
DJMcMayhem
C 2
Gareth McCaughan
7:59 PM
@EriktheOutgolfer Perhaps 2 is FAILURE?
Erik the Outgolfer

DJMcMayhem
75:
Refresh
Sid
mayyyybe contact 1
Eric Tressler
c75
Sid
contact 75
Gareth McCaughan
7:59 PM
@DJMcMayhem Perhaps 75 might be F5 (which most web browsers interpret as a request to re-fetch and/or re-render the current page)?
