well. that was uneventful.
micsthepick
who here is able to play now?
pppery
still me
micsthepick
@Rubio @JohnDvorak
I have a word ready, ping me if/when enough players
Rubio
i mean, 4 people is technically enough to play
micsthepick
so you are able to play?
I'll just start
defending:

Rubio

Online for like 20+ years
pppery
contact 1
Rubio
2:
...
micsthepick
pass 1
pppery
1 USENET
Rubio
oh dear.
1 is not USENET, which has been around for closer to 30 by now
pppery
1:19 AM
oh
micsthepick
rip
Rubio
It was Ultima Online
micsthepick
2 USENET?
Rubio
2 is not USENET
micsthepick
and I thought I was so clever
Rubio
1:20 AM
good lord. usenet is 40.
pppery
my sense of time is apparently distorted
Rubio
@JohnDvorak ping. game's on. ;)
3:
Springsteen's birthplace
4:
Drago's birthplace
micsthepick
that's Drago and not Draco, right?
because I only know about the latter
Rubio
it's definitely Drago
so, how this game works is, other people besides me are allowed to set clues. ;)
pppery
I know
micsthepick
1:24 AM
and I'm supposed to be able to make guesses on them
D:
Rubio
5:
Steve Harrington has one with a hat
okay then.
micsthepick
3 UTAH?
Rubio
3 is not UTAH
micsthepick
3 UNIVERSITY
Rubio
nor is it UNIVERSITY
6:
Someone who fills in for someone else's role
7:
Someone who fills in for Dumbledore's role
no? well. this isn't supposed to be a single player game.
pppery
1:35 AM
9:
^Z
Rubio
contact 9
pppery
1:49 AM
10:
the beginning of recorded Wikipedia (3)
Rubio
pretty sure we've lost our defender.
pppery
yes, I am too
@micsthepick
Gareth McCaughan
if @micsthepick reappears soon, then contact 3, 6, 7, 9 -- but I'm going to bed soon :-).
pppery
"seen 5m ago" does not look good
micsthepick
2:17 AM
sorry, lost all service
pppery
well, ...
micsthepick
9 UNDo
pppery
yes on 9
micsthepick
pass 3
7 UMBRIDGE
Gareth McCaughan
3 is the USA.
(because of the song)
(though I assume he was in fact born in the USA)
pppery
2:25 AM
@Rubio
micsthepick
@Rubio ?
I'm going to just reveal the next letter
Gareth McCaughan
I think we may no longer be quorate.
micsthepick
defending:
U N
Gareth McCaughan
I'm pretty confident that your guess for 7 was correct, so that dies. I'm pretty confident that 6 lives.
I'm pretty confident that 9 lives.
micsthepick
@GarethMcCaughan I assume you mean to say no longer in quota, I've never heard of quorate
Gareth McCaughan
2:38 AM
oh, pppery is here so that last one is needless
quorate = having a quorum. quorum = enough people for a given activity.
micsthepick
ok, TIL
Gareth McCaughan
usually used in more formal contexts where e.g. a session of some legislative body is only permitted to do its work when at least N people are present.
pppery
10 dies
Gareth McCaughan
likewise for board meetings, committee meetings, etc.
micsthepick
9 was guessed already too
Gareth McCaughan
2:40 AM
oh yes, so it was
pppery
and I validated the guess
Gareth McCaughan
2 could be any number of things; no idea whether it lives
pppery
but I have little interest in playing this nearly defunct game
Gareth McCaughan
yeah, I think there aren't enough players here for it to be much fun
(and there will soon be one fewer, because I really need to go to bed)
pppery
I'll still be around for the next hour or so, but this isn't interesting to play
micsthepick
2:41 AM
half defended:
UNPREDICTABLE
Omega Krypton
3:19 AM
hi
4 hours later…
Mr. Xcoder
7:07 AM
Damn I missed the game :/
4 hours later…
Gareth McCaughan
10:44 AM
That's OK -- the participants in the game kinda mostly missed the game too.
4 hours later…
pppery
3:13 PM
... although perhaps the game would have functioned if you hadn't missed it.
John Dvorak
I wouldn't have missed the game if it had started sooner
