Game: Lingo thirteen (MA) REPOSTED

[Lady Vulpix]

I think abattage isn't such a common guess.

I did Paroxysm before the last Igneous, by the way.

[Zak]

Oh right...

Ukuleles: 0-3-5


Abattage: 1-1-6


~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, let's try [b]abattoir.

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add comptoir for good measure.

[Zak]

Abattoir: 1-2-5

Comptoir: 1-1-6


~Zak

[mr_pikachu]

Has your condition improved, Gabi?

[Zak]

0-4-4

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it has, Brian.
advisors

[Zak]

Advisors: 0-4-4

[Lady Vulpix]

Let's see if behavior helps.

[Zak]

Behavior: 0-5-3

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, what about forcarve?

[Zak]

Forcarve: 2-2-4

EDIT: Gabi, can you please respond to my PM right now while you're online?

[Lady Vulpix]

I like the word valkyrie.

[Zak]

I like that word too. I was actually planning to use it a couple times in the past but changed my mind at the last minute. I guess now's the time. :)

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, so now, let's look for a word that's not on the plushie list...

Alright, 6 letters.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

[mr_pikachu]

Let's use some lateral logic on this one.

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry, I made a typo and then my connection slowed down too much as I tried to fix it. You can post another guess, sorry about that.

[mr_pikachu]

Heh, okay, then.

Did you know that a zythum is an ancient malt liquor made from malt and wheat? Neither did I!

[Zak]

Larynx

[Lady Vulpix]

zythum: 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.
larynx: 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Zak]

I finally learned Ultima.

[mr_pikachu]

Do you understand the idea of cause and effect?

[Lady Vulpix]

Zak: learned? What do you mean?
Brian: did you know you've made me feel likt this was Questions Only?

ultima: 2 right, 2 misplaced, 2 wrong. :D
effect: 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Zak]

It's usually the most powerful non-elemental magic throughout the Final Fantasy games. But it's also the name of another game.


Yesterday I went to an alumni dinner.


~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

alumni: 3 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[Zak]

Stigma?

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add Slugma for comparison.

[Lady Vulpix]

Hehe, nice comparison. Brian, I saw you added me on MSN, but I've never caught you online since then. When do you normally go online?

stigma: 2 right, 1 misplaced, 3 wrong.
slugma: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Zak]

The amount of possible words are starting to reach the limits...

[Lady Vulpix]

I can imagine.
limits: 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Zak]

Now they're even more limited... this took me a while to think of a word that could fill the blank spaces in my possibilities, but thinking along the lines of common letters we haven't used yet...

Utopia

[Lady Vulpix]

You got it right, Zak. Congratulations! Enjoy your Utopia Plushie!

[Zak]

Okay, I have a word of eight letters. Hopefully it hasn't been done before. But... well, here we go.

[mr_pikachu]

I'll make the ever-predictable guess of aardvark.

[Zak]

~R-M-W~

Aardvark: 2-1-5


Maybe I should have thought through...

[Lady Vulpix]

Since we're making predictable guesses...
aardwolf

[Zak]

Aardwolf: 1-1-6

[Lady Vulpix]

Hmm, let's see what happens with abastard (it's in the lexicon).

[Zak]

oO;; what does it mean?

Abastard: 1-3-4

[Lady Vulpix]

No idea. The lexicon is odd like that.
asterisk

[Zak]

Wow... holy SHIT that was fast. In case you have the filter off... holy ************************************************** ****

Four guesses for an eight letter word? ******.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, I didn't expect to get it so soon! I still had over 8000 words on my list. Asterisk was the first one I saw in it that seemed to match, but it was also the only one I checked against the Lingo calculator (http://members.lycos.co.uk/noentiendo/lingo.php). I don't know why it caught my attention.

Hmm... 6 letters now.
_ _ _ _ _ _

[mr_pikachu]

That was amazing, Gabi! Nice job!

Let's start with cirrus this time.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks. Do you ever get on AIM or MSN? I can never find you there.

So much for the palindrome postcount. Why bother looking at a number that will only last till your next post? :P

cirrus: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

I get on the messengers occasionally, but not as often as I used to.

And too bad about the palindrome postcount, but you have a good point. It's good to know that the loss of it hasn't affected your psyche.

[Lady Vulpix]

psyche: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

It's time for the most obvious comparison guess ever: psycho.

[Lady Vulpix]

psycho: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.
You always get some information out of comparison posts, even if they both give you the same result. :)

[mr_pikachu]

It's not good to eat in excess, even on a holiday.

[Zak]

Citrus :P

[Lady Vulpix]

What was that :P for, Zak? :rolleyes:

excess: 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.
citrus: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

What about except?

[Zak]

I'll try... stones.

[Lady Vulpix]

except: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.
stones: 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

What do you expect to receive for Christmas?

[Lady Vulpix]

Nothing. I'm Jewish.

expect: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

Okay... how about accept?

[Zak]

Xkylyr

If you don't believe me, you can Google it. It's actually a name. Xkylyr Rauh composed a lot of music from a couple of my favorite games.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, that's an odd name. It helps, though.
accept: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.
xkylyr: 6 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

If I'm lucky, we can eliminate a few more letters with a larynx.

[Lady Vulpix]

larynx: 1 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, stores should reveal a lot.

[Lady Vulpix]

stores: 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

Did it?

[mr_pikachu]

I have no idea what it means, but maybe vaadim will help.

[Lady Vulpix]

vaadim: 1 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

You know, caught just might work here.

[Lady Vulpix]

You've definitely caught it! Congratulations, Brian!

Have a Caught Plushie!

[mr_pikachu]

Wow! Thank you, Gabi! That marks the first plushie I've legitimately won! Thanks! :D

Heh, I've had this word planned for a long, long time...

*clears throat*

This one's got the lucky number - seven letters! Good luck! ^_^

[Lady Vulpix]

Once more, congratulations.
Hey!, who would have thought aarrghh would be on the lexicon?

[mr_pikachu]

I laughed when I saw that word, myself.

aarrghh: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ok, let's try...
behaver.

[mr_pikachu]

As in, someone who behaves?

behaver: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

I guess.
And chandry as in... chandlery.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, we've got a lot of variation in results here...

chandry: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow, that's amazing!
How about humoral?

[mr_pikachu]

o_0

Before you even ask, I checked all four results first on the official Lingo checker and then by hand.

humoral: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

XD *Bursts into laughter.*

Ok, what about oregano?

[mr_pikachu]

O_O

Um...

I don't even need to consult the Lingo checker on this one, because, uh... you've won an oregano plushie, Gabi!

That was... an unusual round...

*scratches head confusedly*

[Lady Vulpix]

Indeed it was. O_O

I would have never managed to get those results if I'd tried.

Thanks, Brian. Now I have another 7-letter word.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

[mr_pikachu]

The lexicon has some very weird words indeed... like zyzzyva, which is a genus of tropical American weevils that are often very harmful to plants.

(Yay for dictionary.com!)

[Zak]

That's really a word? Amazing!

[Lady Vulpix]

zyzzyva: 7 wrong.
amazing: 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.
Yay for 2 players posting guesses! :)

[mr_pikachu]

Make sure you have a full woodbox for the coming winter!

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, but here the winter won't come until June!
woodbox: 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

How about insists?

[Lady Vulpix]

insists: 2 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[mr_pikachu]

Maybe imaging will yield some insight.

[Magmar]

It's about time someone brought this back to life. Thanks! :)

I'm gonna guess a musical guess, you'll never guess what I'm guessing. {sounds like a jingle!}

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm afraid I lost the word in all the time no one's been playing, but I found another word that fits, so I'll go with that.

imaging: 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.
musical: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.

Thanks for playing again.
