are we here?

bad connection, hard clues but yes (ish)

back home, so if anyone want's to revive this game I'm in.

anyone here?

not many

I'm here :P

up for a new game?

I'm free to play

I'm intermittently here if enough others are to continue with the game

I miiight be around

)

contact 2 if @EricTressler is here

contact 73 if @DJMcMayhem is here

@GarethMcCaughan hi

hi! We're trying to resurrect the Contact game, as you can probably tell.

Who's actually here and paying any attention right now?

I also c73

@GarethMcCaughan With Binky or *Blinky :P

With "Blinky", of course.

I'm here more or less

I think we kinda need @micsthepick

3. Composer famous for murdering his wife and lover

We could always start a new game of course

yeah, we do. I was hoping he might still/again be here, since he was not so very long ago.

we could start a new one if he's not around; we had barely begun

true

Anyone else want to defend?

@GarethMcCaughan want to defend? I have just about enough time for 1 game

so we have me, @EricTressler, @DJMcMayhem and maaaybe @Mithrandir. Is that enough for a game?

Yeah, OK, I can defend.

Yeah

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.

1: Pivotal component of a simple machine

1 is FULCRUM

correct

2: Shape of a bevel gear

73: Electric motor inventor

c73?

@DJMcMayhem 73 might be FARADAY; I forget whether he invented an/the electric motor, but he certainly might have.

that was my guess too

Yep. It was Faraday

@EricTressler Perhaps 2 is FRUSTUM?

2: correct

74: Freddie's entertainment

75: Plurality of sticks

@DJMcMayhem I have no idea who Freddie might be; perhaps 74 might be FUN or FUNFAIR or FAIR?

3: Instigate a rebellion

@DJMcMayhem 75 might, a bit farfetchedly, be FOREST?

@EricTressler 3 is probably FOMENT.

No on both

3 is foment

74 is pretty obscure

Revised 74: Freddy _______'s Entertainment

Ignore the spelling change

that unfortunately just makes me more confident I don't know it :-).

@DJMcMayhem 75 could, I suppose, also be FENCE.

If no one else can contact it, I'll just give it up. It's pretty obscure

@GarethMcCaughan Also no

no particular need to give anything up yet; new players might arrive...

Speaking of which...

4: Musical instrument component and mild swear

@EricTressler Might 4 be F-HOLE?!

though I'm not sure it's really a component

4: no

Ahh

Clever guess

or perhaps FIDDLESTICK(S)?

that's it

16. F1 Car

6: Violent result of a mistake in the chemistry lab

C 16?

1: Chemistry.

contact 6

@EricTressler 6 might perhaps be FUMES?

6: no

or FLAMES?

@Sid perhaps 16 is FERRARI?

no again, so apparently it's not a great clue

@GarethMcCaughan 16 is correct.

..uncontact 6

2: Not an accomplishment.

C 6?

updated 6 to begin with "violent"

C 2

@EriktheOutgolfer Perhaps 2 is FAILURE?

2: YES

75: Refresh

mayyyybe contact 1

c75

contact 75

@DJMcMayhem Perhaps 75 might be F5 (which most web browsers interpret as a request to re-fetch and/or re-render the current page)?
