@user56656 LOL

1:09 AM

merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tercio

Ah

Idk if it fits under scrabble rules though

It might be stretching the words of foreign origin

1:44 AM

yep

14: Norwegian Group Theorist

nope

is 14 SELBERG?

78: Albanian folk hero

1:46 AM

@user56656 What are you doing?

14 is not

This is no fun, this is just trivia

that I don't know

Well it seems no one else knows it either. ...

it only matters if another attacker contacts it

That does nothing to recommend it, either!

pass 41

1:47 AM

41 Sibelius

41 yes

I have to say, I didn't enjoy seeing a single one of those clues. I would not play this game if that were the norm.

I like trivia.

does that even apply to 88?

No, not 88, just the names

Eric is defending SA

no

well, at least 99 isn't some obscure thing

some trivia is okay, just... I don't know, there's nothing to do if you don't know it offhand. Incidentally, I'm familiar with Sylow, but nobody wants to see me guess every S-named mathematician I've heard of either

is 78 SADE?

it is

contact 96

I'm trying to figure out if 96 has something to do with a king's taster / poison

1:55 AM

I don't get 96 yet. I want to figure it out, but who knows how long that could take.

Pass 96

96 is S+AMPLE?

96 is sample, yeah

I was going to guess SAMPLER, based on nothing, but it seemed unfair to just take wild stabs at it

Eric is defending SAL

99 dies, was SAY

well, one of the good parts about being a defender is that you get wild stabs at it

1:56 AM

191 dies, I presume you want to guess user56656?

I would have accepted for Sp not to give it to you for sampler though

no thanks

okay 191 was SARTRE

@ffao How do you get the S

it's literally in the clue

1:58 AM

I have never seen "'s" used that way in a cryptic

Wordplay/def split at the apostrophe, which isn't usually what I'd do, but hey Contact /shrug
