Shall I fire up Lens?

hmmmmmm

I guess it might add some comedy

double that, hmm

Advertisement posted in TNB, if that helps :/

I suppose Lens is still in its perpetually confused state?

well yeah won't fix via disuse :P

Then we need to fix the disuse

@GentlePurpleRain Go ahead, start her up. We'll see what happens...

I suppose that we can fire it up and let it whine constantly while we're playing like we know ignoring it completely... :D

I think it's at the point where it needs a complete rewrite.

It still provides some benefit, though, with keeping track of contacts and such.

And starring/unstarring clues.

Who is defending?

what it needs is a value of a long presence... they call it experience... ;)

Anyone want to defend?

Ok.

Defending: P

New game ID is 45 (you can use this to !resume an unfinished game if something goes wrong).

76: Religious leader

Oh, I didn't even look at the waves...

76: POPE

1. Of man's first disobedience ...

76: Yep

There is already an active clue #2. Please edit or repost with a different number.

Clue #6 (0.5 * τ) was contacted by: Deusovi, Gareth McCaughan, Erik the Outgolfer. Make your guesses (one each)!

6: PI

does Lens understand multiple contacts?

6: PI

6: Yes

You guessed correctly. GentlePurpleRain must give up a letter!

Shouldn't that be 2 * τ?

nope

No

Ok, apparently I don't know my math and/or Greek well enough.

tau = 2 pi. Think "turn" as a mnemonic

Defending: PL

though not many people actually use tau rather than pi

61 dies

τ is occasionally used as a symbol for 2pi, yeah

61' dies

35: Yes
