- The [EmptySet] of course! -- JasonWinerip

- Giggity.
- 54d54a126a783bc9cba8c06137136943, though, you are correct, the vagueness is an issue. --ChrisSauro
- To pardon. --BobChen

- [Extensions] -- JasonWinerip
- So I don't have to reveal the word I contacted with? What happens if I got the word wrong... Then the word giver should not have to !letter, right? --BobChen
- That's what the hash is for. Given the word, it's easy enough to verify you had extensions.
- Right. When someone responds to a challenge, it's easy enough to check This, this and THIS. --AdamField

- Why on earth would you hide a weapon in caramel? Has that happened, like, ever? Meh, I guess poison could work... I suppose I'll clarify that I mean a physical weapon like a sword. Do you still have contact, Brian? --MaxGibiansky
- I think so... --BrianRice
- Ah, but hidden within "caramel" is "car", which has been used in murders before... -- KwangKetcham

- For the record, I was going for cannibalism, because they should be fine with eating fruit. What did you have?
- Hyperion is loosely based on these. --AdamField
- CAT -- KwangKetcham, who is extremely disappointed in all of you for not taking more advantage of this word
- We've already done so many cat puns last game, I didn't have any more. Also, is it Colleen's clue? --MaxGibiansky
- I refuse to respond to that on general principle. There are far better ways to present that option. -- KwangKetcham
- Too many have been done already. Might as well just get the word over with. Also, since you're still refusing to answer, I'll ask straight out - is it "cat"? --MaxGibiansky
- No, it's not, and there are still much more interesting ways to ask that -- KwangKetcham
- Wife of a barbarian, then later to a drow. --BobChen
- A bovine projectile. --BobChen
- Is it a giant, sticky cat ball? --AdamField

- universal theory -- JasonWinerip
- Is it what a Catholic feline reads? --AdamField
- Someone who is obsessed with stupid cat clues --JasonWinerip
- Were you going for catamoron, by the way? --MaxGibiansky
- Actually, I was going for Catholic. Like alcoholic.
- Will it soon go beyond a music-playing device and, in the process, lose a sensory organ? --LeeWiyninger
- Is it a crazy achievement in Ulduar? --AdamField
- CATE -- KwangKetcham
- Will it soon become something that is beyond a fruity music-playing device, except without a sensory organ? --LeeWiyninger
- A living precursor to flying dairy. --BobChen
- Is it sticking words together, without the drawbacks? (Or, I suppose, sticking cats together.) --AdamField
- Contact 3f58fb08d52e8a7bd3461e16ba9bf7f7 --ArenOlson
- Is it either a cat or the side of a building (screeching, either way)? --AdamField
- Contact, 0fc824eae8ba79dae60aa88fe99c482d --AndrewFarmer
- Challenge (sorry, was at Anime Expo since Thursday) -- KwangKetcham
- If it's neither a cat nor a wall, then it clearly can't be a [caterwaul] --AdamField
- Yeah, that's it. -- KwangKetcham
- Awesome. In that case, I give it to Farmer, for guessing my clue. I just had one. (EDIT: Only if he promises not to disappear like last time. Also, what actual word *did* start with "digito"? --AdamField
- According to dictionaries, the one remaining one was digitoxin or something like that. I looked it up at one point. --MaxGibiansky
- That's pretty funny, given a clue nobody contacted, right before the game died... also screw it, I'll start a new one anyway. --AdamField
- Working arches -- JasonWinerip
- Thesis defense bribery. --MaxGibiansky (also, K, challenge the damn screeching cat clue already.)
Leader: AdamField
Winner: KwangKetcham
Object: Contrapuntal
- C -- AdamField
- Augh, not another C! Fine, fine... Is it the way prions can get passed around from person to person? --MaxGibiansky
- No, it isn't... coughing? --AdamField
- Nope, sorry - prions aren't transmitted that way... --AndrewFarmer
- Oh, right. I knew that. No, it isn't consumption. --AdamField
- Contact: ee115c898593ed7d1898b2e0ed0fd39c? --AndrewFarmer
- Like a 3-dimensional feline solid? -- KwangKetcham
- No, it's not a cat. (I defy you to argue that cats aren't either 3-dimensional or solid.) --AdamField
- Like a regular (in mathematical terms) 3-dimensional feline solid? -- KwangKetcham
- Contact: 6a601427185bc342186671efc2b933de --LeeWiyninger
- Challenge. I feel like I should probably know this, but don't. --AdamField
- Wait, I lied. More silliness = no, it's not a catahedron? (If this has a real answer, then challenge still.)
- Try the adjective form -- KwangKetcham
- Ok... it's also not catahedral?
- A biological process which occurs when you don't feed a feline. --AndrewFarmer
- Contact: 8aeafa759019b421f00a279a319db19f --LeeWiyninger
- No, it isn't cats dying.
- A biological process which occurs when you don't feed a feline, shortly before it dies. --AndrewFarmer
- So, I could say "cat starvation", and make you get more specific again, but fine. Lee clearly knows where you're going, and I clearly don't. Challenge. --AdamField
- No go, unless Lee had a spelling/capitalization I didn't. [catabolysis]. --AndrewFarmer
- I had [catabolism]. --LeeWiyninger
- So do those count? To me it seems like if 'catahedron' counts to get 'cathedral', then these two should also be the same (or vice versa). Though I don't mind, I like the string of cat puns :) --MaxGibiansky
- I only know what they are via post-challenge wikipedia-ing, and wikipedia has separate pages for them, which would seem to indicate they're different... if Lee or Farmer want to claim otherwise, though, I'm happy to accept that. --AdamField, who is also enjoying the puns.
- Either speeding up something with another thing, or rupturing the surface of a cat and letting the insides spill out. --MaxGibiansky
- Is it what you get when your taxidermist screws up? --LeeWiyninger

- Contact, 9cd0c50321ac0514849b242c5aa030a6 --AndrewFarmer
- No, it's not what the Cat's killed. (Fine, fine, no, it isn't the Catskills.) --AdamField
- Covered in feline blood and guts. (one word, noun) --MaxGibiansky
- If someone fails to bang me, and instead of shouting the appropriate phrase they type, what possible action do they learn about? --MaxGibiansky
- If I understand this clue correctly, 80dfde5098905656a94e4ed56157e265 --ChrisSauro
- Is it a feline sailing vessel? --LeeWiyninger
- Contact 2ef771b2284472aa62087c77080a9297 --MaxGibiansky
- No, it isn't a catamaran.
- Is it a naval punishment instrument that I constructed out of ethernet cable in high school? --ChrisSauro
- No, it's not a cat o' nine tails.
- While it certainly is a naval punishment instrument, it's not _quite_ what I made out of ethernet cable in high school. Just take it a _little_bit_ further. (I really did make it, btw) --ChrisSauro
- BTW, it was a CAT-5 o' nine tails. And it was *awesome*. --ChrisSauro
- That is, indeed, more than a little bit awesome. You win. --AdamField
- Should it never be placed before a pipe? -- KwangKetcham
- A maiden with a very particular injury; can be used to inflict said injury on others as well. --MaxGibiansky
- An extremely rigid feline liquid medicine? --ChrisSauro
- Also, is it every day? --ChrisSauro
- Got a bad case of the Mondays? That's why Lord Kaos invented... this! -- KwangKetcham
- An emotional state resembling a feline on a Martian plateau? -- KwangKetcham
- CO -- AdamField, who promises that this is as far as the similarity extends
- Someone tries to bang me, and I cause them to fail; there is a phrase that goes with this. Suppose I type it - I then am informed how to do the following thing. --MaxGibiansky
- Contact d844b504dcd45d4bfcb694fb27c12515 -ChrisFerguson
- That was much shorter. Challenge. --AdamField, who should probably play more Bang
- Is it a drink related to balloons? --LeeWiyninger
- CON
- Is it your mom? --LeeWiyninger
- A bar tended by a Gorilla. --ArenOlson
- Contact 9dbd3dc34d5da4e6d158a3240f6d6a2e -- JasonWinerip
- Properly punctuated contact 35e2627620d38685575aea9b521bc017 --ChrisSauro
- Contact 7aa1abf874ee919712ab84b34f54ce00 -- KwangKetcham, with cruise control
- No, it isn't constantly being destroyed.
- I meant the name of the bar. :P --ArenOlson
- Yeah, this is a reference I don't know. Challenge, but thanks for letting me be sarcastic first. --AdamField
- #[conjugate] --ArenOlson
- Interesting. Even google doesn't help me there; all I'm finding is a bunch of random dictionaries. --AdamField
- It's a complex reference, but a clever ape like you should be able to figure it out -- JasonWinerip
- CONT
- Does it make tail-recursion really easy? -- KwangKetcham
- Contact: 80f4431999ba9f07cab188224ec69e09 --ChrisSauro, who was trying to figure out a good clue for this word when he happened across this clue, and who also is starting to wonder whether he and K should count as different people for the purposes of Contact....
- No, it isn't a continuation (nor is it CPS). --AdamField, who at least vaguely paid attention in PLs.
- Is it American pie? (Hint: I'd be likely to get slapped for this one.) --LeeWiyninger
- Categorical reversal -- JasonWinerip
- A trick in the shape of camping gear. --MaxGibiansky
- Contact 9a0364b9e99bb480dd25e1f0284c8555 --LeeWiyninger
- No, it is not a con-tent. Nice one, by the way.
- If you used this word as a misspelling of a different word, instead of making you look sophisticated it would make you look dumb and crude --JoshuaEhrlich
- ^^vv<><>BAS? -- KwangKetcham
- Contact e2f804a152092eaadaf84613ea13bf7a --ChrisSauro

- No, it is not the Konami... I mean Contra Code.

- What I am not using probably is not obvious. -- JasonWinerip
- No, it is not a contraction.
- Major event behind why a lawyer was in court saying "I'm not a potted plant?" -- JasonWinerip
- Contact: a83f0f76c2afad4f5d7260824430b798 --ChrisSauro
- Challenge
- The event was the Iran-[Contra] scandal. Sadly I posted this clue just because, well, it was an awesome quote. He's also quoted as saying “Internet Explorer, your honor, is the fruit of Microsoft's statutory violations and it should be denied them.” I suppose the contra code clue might invalidate this, your choice. Either way, lawyers and potted plants have a lot in common. --Jason Winerip
- Nope, I say they're distinct. If the previous clue was about the game Contra (also I just lost TheGame), that'd be one thing. But the game is distinct from its code.
- Why the scientifically rigorous girl in that XKCD comic fucked a bunch of guys. --BobChen
- Contact 388d5c23eb6b8071c1cfd9646c4c2f80, but I suspect this clue is trivially easy. You probably should have been more tricky about it. --MaxGibiansky
- Not as a control. (Incidentally, Max, that one clue you weren't sure about last time, you were right. Radiohead wants to have control, (Missy) Elliott wants you to lose control, and UI creation often requires list controls. But it's not one.)

- They're actually both accurate - just depends on who you ask, and why you're asking. But go, wastedness?
- Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Blue and Yellow are related in the same way as Blue and Red, or, for that matter, in Z_6, it's like comparing 2 and 4 with preference over 2 and 0, and comparing their relationship to that of 2 and 5. Of course, I suppose it's just as likely I have your clue wrong, although it VERY CLEARLY applies to blue and orange. -- JasonWinerip

- He's in the beatles. The blackbird in the song of the same name learns to fly. Although the 'again' is a little off, it's reasonable that the blackbird once did fly. Perhaps it's not what you were going for - but I think it's a reasonable answer.

- I don't ponder that pendulums are primarily placed with pagans; plus, the pretty long Wikipedia page has only a puny paragraph on paranormal purposes, pagan or non-pagan. Excessive, I know. What I was going for was [pentagram]; here, phi is the golden ratio. --LeeWiyninger

- Actually, SurpriseButtsecks? would at least be more interesting than spamming devastate. I reject your response. -- JasonWinerip
- You said nothing of spamming devastate, so I fail to see how this is relevant. --ChrisSauro
- Fine, you can't spam surprises unless you're the one giving the buttsecks which wouldn't be that bad. -- JasonWinerip
- No mention was given to directionality, either. I'd rather be devastated than surprisebuttsecksed. --ChrisSauro
- I'm saying you can only be SurpriseButtsecksed? once, so it can't be spammed. The direction follows from the fact that it's being spammed, and the required direction is not that bad. -- JasonWinerip
- Clearly your insistence that you can only be SurpriseButtecksed? once implies that you'd be quite surprised if it happened a second time, disproving your own argument. --ChrisSauro
- No, I'm saying it wouldn't be a surprise the second time. I'd see it coming... metaphorically speaking. -- JasonWinerip

Because I was listening to Voodoo Child when I came up with the word. And I knew exactly what Jason was talking about, I just couldn't figure out how his pieces got to Voodoo Child. --ChrisSauro
- Figures. Guess I should've been more obvious then. Mab and Maeve are also both supernatural, for the record, being that they're both fairies. --AdamField

- Really? In that case, can I just go ahead and ask whether it's "ungenial"? (What Mr. Rogers was well-known for not being, that nobody contacted.) Cause "ungenial" is a word, and if there's only one of them... --AdamField
- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ungenial So, no :P. I knew that's what you were going for on the clue too, I've just been trying to let clues that aren't words slide by because I'm worried nobody's going to get the word.
- Hey, Mary Shelley used it. If that doesn't make it a word, I don't know what does. (As opposed to "ungenie", which I'm fully willing to agree with you is a retarded attempt; retarded attempts are, however, fully within the spirit of lounge contact). --AdamField
- Well, my general definition of a word is "is it in the dicitonary?" :P

- "Blah blah"? Also, I said "about" it, not "from" it. --AdamField
- I didn't say it was a baby, I said it was raping a baby. I'm sure not gonna talk, so all you're hearing about it is what the baby says.
- This is not at all correct, and I'm sure anyone would agree. The question is, however, whether anyone is going to contact.
- I know the clue, but I honestly think Jason's response actually works, so I'm not contacting. Just because it has nothing to do with -your- clue doesn't make it incorrect. --KevinOelze Blah, I see the edit now. Jason could still argue that it works for raping babies, though. You should probably try a different angle.
- You can never overestimate my musical incompetence. I would have better luck convincing you Queen did love raping babies than figuring out what you're going for.

Also, it took me 5 readings of the sentence to finally parse it in a grammatically correct fashion (the only fashion that happens to work as a clue, of course).

- Well, I honestly have no idea at this point. I'm guessing that I don't know this word - Wiktionary and some other online dictionaries claim it can't exist. I've found one thing it could possibly be by abusing wikipedia, but, given that method of finding it, I'm not going to give a clue for it. I leave the rest to the other people playing, hopefully you're more imaginative than I :)
- Firefox auto-completed it for me in the google toolbar, there's one possibility I could find. Of course, FunWiki's spell checker seems to claim it isn't a word. It also seems to be at least largely derived from a proper noun.
- I've been going by dictionary.com, which says it is a word, not a proper noun, and that its derivation contains nothing about a proper noun. --ArenOlson
- ummm, that's what I was going by, it seems to be derived from the name of a particular book.
- the term can also be used to refer to works of a similar nature, and if you look at the derivation of the word itself it is not derived from a proper noun, its just that there is a particular book which has that word for its name.
- Perhaps. for the purposes of determining word okayness, I don't think it should really matter whether the method of origin was 'title of book -> word meaning one of a generic class of books' or the other way around.
- Is it the word which Gibiansky and Winerip are thinking of? --AndrewFarmer

- R is this of Q. -- JasonWinerip
- Not consecutive? --ArenOlson

- Not corpses. --ArenOlson
- Martin, what was your contact for? --AndrewFarmer
- If it was for something other than corpses, I suggest making it into a clue instead of just saying what it was. --MaxGibiansky
- Wait, in retrospect, would that even be legal? Ah well, too late now anyway. --MaxGibiansky
- Core Hounds -- a WoW reference. --MartinPyne.
- That's what I had too. --KO
- An inefficient fuel source. -MaxGibiansky

- Contact, I think: 723bcb576ea43132835cd8350af4dcbd --LeeWiyninger
- Challenge --ArenOlson
- Well, I don't think we got it... I have no idea what Lee had; given that this is East, I was hoping that someone would want to chime in with a grammar Correction and contact instead, but I can't duplicate Lee's hash. --MaxGibiansky
- I had corroboration. Sorry, I was too tired to see the wrong its. --LeeWiyninger
- A pastime popular among those who hate Chuck Norris. (Death does not start with CORR.) --MaxGibiansky
- CORRU
- Is it Blagojevich? --AndrewFarmer
- Contact, bc2f39d437ff13dff05f5cfda14327cc --LeeWiyninger, who would have been more subtle.
- There are two possible words at this point (disregarding inflections). The time for subtlety is over. --AndrewFarmer
- Is it Jason? -- KwangKetcham
- So counts as the winner on this one? Farmer or Kwang? ...regardless, I guess someone grab the next game. Whoever gets to it first :)
- I'm fairly sure that Farmer posted his clue first.

- Challenge. --AndrewFarmer
- I'm a fucking idiot for even giving this clue, now that I think about it. I was going for doppler, but, in retrospect, there's way more than one answer for it, maybe yours was better than mine... Sorry Lee :( my bad.
- No worries, I'll just turn it into a clue.
- NHK mascot? -- KwangKetcham
- Was Doctor Horrible's freeze ray (explicitly) not this? --AdamField
- Contact, b30b16ae69020bd071fa53003d48b569 --ArenOlson
- Not a death ray. (Or an ice beam, although that doesn't start with a D.) --AndrewFarmer
- I left four (4) ___, with zombies. And a four-fingered hand gesture. --MaxGibiansky, who is going to try a simple straightforward clue this time.
- Not that I expect this one to make it through, but contact: f58e6a506c76fc2c90a7d29cbc631c2f --ChrisSauro
- Challenge. --AndrewFarmer
- [dead] --MaxGibiansky
- Out of curiousity, the hand gesture? Left 4 blank, with zombies, was obvious... but then there was a hand gesture. What's the hand gesture? --AdamField
- The cover art, it's a four-fingered hand, with the thumb bitten off. (Or hidden behind your palm, if you're trying to do it without self-disfigurement). I think they even had a photo contest as a promo where one of the requirements was that someone in the photo be doing that, or something. --MaxGibiansky
- A divine measuring instrument. -- LeeWiyninger
- A deity that measures things. --LeeWiyninger

- Contact, 5891893842c448c54def3a6e0eb83720 --MartinPyne

- Not digits (in your age). --AndrewFarmer

- Is it like where diglett came from, only with more computers? --AdamField
- A course I took my Freshman year and then taught (lectured) for during my Junior year. --MaxGibiansky
- Not E85 (Digital Electronics and Circuit Engineering)? --AndrewFarmer
- Nope. While perhaps it is possible for 1337Frosh to take that (maybe?), I don't think they have current students actually teach the class, do they? --MaxGibiansky
- Oh, right. Hmm. Not digital photography? --AndrewFarmer
- Well, no... Does that have student lecturers? If it does, I'll add more on to my clue to make it more specific, I don't want there to be multiple possible answers differentiated only by which one I actually took. I thought students actually lecturing would be pretty rare though. --MaxGibiansky
- Contact, be8a383c1ea3d615a263eb445178bbef. I know I have the correct course, but I may use different wording than Max. -- ChrisSauro
- I honestly have no idea what else might fit. Isn't a plausible answer usually good enough, though? If not, challenge. --AndrewFarmer
- Oh, yes, a plausible answer usually is good enough to stop people from being total bastards. All the same, student-lectured classes aren't the norm so, unless anyone can authoritatively comment on whether digital photography is one such class, I don't think plausibility holds. -- ChrisSauro
- So what's the deal? Do I reveal what I had and see if Sauro got it? Or is Farmer gonna keep guessing? Or is Photography student-taught? --MaxGibiansky
- I would suggest going for it, seeing as Farmer challenged. --LeeWiyninger
- Sure thing. It was the Digital Electronics and Chip Design Seminar, which I took my freshman year from two students (Tommy and somebody whose name I do not remember) (supervised by DMoney) and which, my Junior year, I had the opportunity to teach to a bunch of impressionable young froshlings, along with Andrew Danowitz. Is that what you had, Sauro?
- I had Digital Chip Design Seminar (for the life of me, I couldn't remember the official name (2 years ago is a long time!) so I just winged it). I was going for that same seminar, though, so it's up to Farmer whether it counts. --ChrisSauro
- Is it what the name of a certain song by Olivia Newton-John might have been if she were a cyborg? --LeeWiyninger
- DIGIT
- Sweet, we got a T! That totally changes the space of words to expect! (This is just snark and not a clue, btw.) --MaxGibiansky
- You never know. It could have been Digikey or... uh, something. --AndrewFarmer
- Is it sleight of hand, only less quick? --ChrisSauro
- Is it what the company I work for does? --AdamField
- Not analog. --LeeWiyninger

- Contact? 46dd5b886044fbed68d55254a0e75837 --SkyeBerghel
- Challenge. --AndrewFarmer
- As I said, terrible sleep dep clue. If I remember chem correctly, a bad assumption even when I'm not sleep depped, those would be alcohols, with a base that's a digit, hence [digitol]. I'm sorry. -- JasonWinerip
- A doctor specializing in the afflictions of pianists and computer gamers might be said to study this. --AdamField
- The study of pictures of fingers. --LeeWiyninger
- (bump)
- Well, I'm stumped, the reason I haven't asked anything is 'cuz I can't think of any words starting with Digito. --MaxGibiansky
