Game: Lingo 8 (MA)

[Cheesey]

Yep, I remember that. XD And by the way, I changed my avatar because I thought yours was better thought out than mine was... And now it's the same. XD Well, nearly... 'Worshipper' does fit in... o_o

And I go back to not knowing what the hell the word is, but hopefully narrowing it down for people who do... wobble

[Pichu]

wobble: 0-1-5

[Pichu]

eclipse

... I haven't really look at the words yet... xD

[Lady Vulpix]

Congratulations, Tom! That's it!
*Hands Tom an Eclipse Plushie.*

[Pichu]

ROFL... OMFG... that was pure luck. xD

Anyway, I already thought of a word so ... 9 letters. >=O

Since no one edit the score board, I am 100% sure I have 10 now. I should have 11, but I'm too lazy to proof it. xD

[Zak]

Don't worry, I'm in the process of digging through the old versions and making a list of everyone's plushies, so corrections will be made if needed.

And... my first guess is Cyndaquil.

~Zak

[Pichu]

OMG... Gabi, that Vulpix avatar is soooo cute!! *huggles it* :3

~R-M-W~

Cyndaquil: 1-3-5 ... Nice first guess. =)

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! ^_^ I made it today.

Eclipse was one of the words I had before :(

[Pichu]

Cowabunga: 0-3-6
Cornfield: 0-4-5

Hmm.. there seems to be a pattern. xD

[Zak]

Headcatch

[Lady Vulpix]

I know this isn't the word, but it may help.
haplodont

[Pichu]

Headcatch: 1-4-4
Sacristan: 2-3-4

Cyndaquil, don't do that please. No one was "stumped". When you give unwanted hints, it makes things less fun --;.

~Zak

[Zak]

Also, sorry for double posting, but since that was just a warning, and since in that gap I've been working and thinking, I guess it would be fine. Not to mention the fact that it's confusing to edit posts in Lingo, given a few incidents in the past.

But I'm gonna guess Leviathan.

~Zak

[Pichu]

Yes it is ... and clear your PM box. xP

Furthermore, I have a midterm tomorrow, so I'm really dizzy.

[Zak]

YES! Nice! That's a word I wanted. Do I get a Leviathan plushie.... or a Wailord plushie? :O

Yeah, "Leviathan" is used in modern Hebrew and it means "whale". Even though it's pronounced "livyatan". Heh, just thought I'd say... not like anyone really cares, except maybe Gabi. :)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Have yet another 9 letter challenge.

And I'll clear my PM box. But it'll take me a while, having to sort and stuff.

~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

Giving extra hints is bad. :no:
So is assuming Team Lingo is stumped.
And worst of all is doing it while I'm away from my computer. :P

Anyway, congrats, Zak! Though two 9-letter words in a word seems like an exaggeration to me. I'll still give it a shot and start with a classic.

ataraxias

[Pichu]

Caracaras

Edit: For those who play that know your peers game, my old acc is called "neocyndaquil", the one who accidentally posted 4 polls in one day in PCG, and got owned by Dark Flame. =P

~Zak

[Pichu]

Okie...Thanks. :3 *eats it*

I like to give everyone a break...

_ _ _ _ (4)

[Lady Vulpix]

Eating a plushie? O_o
Ok, give.

[Pichu]

[Cheesey]

That was a good start. I'm gonna try gain although knowing me, it'll probably be way off. xP

[Zak]

Vote.

~Zak

[Pichu]

gain: 0-1-3 <-- yes Chris, you are off, lol. =\

prickers

[titandude21]

Titanics: 1-4-3

tequilla: 0-4-4

[Zak]

Porkrind

~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

Same goes for thespian. (Doesn't match tequilla, but it matches the others).

[Pichu]

skeleton

[titandude21]

Porkrind: 0-2-6

Thespian: 0-6-2

Skeleton: 0-3-5

[Lady Vulpix]

Nothing seems to fit. Are you sure all the answers are ok?

I'll try escapist for now.

[titandude21]

the previous words do fit.
escapist: 1-6-1

the letters are basically there.

note: if it looks like a word, it probably is a word. if it doesn't look like a word, it probably still is a word.

[Zak]

It could be Epitasis.

~Zak

[titandude21]

Originally posted by Zak

~Zak

epitasis is correct. *hands over epitasis plushie*

your turn

[Lady Vulpix]

I think epitasis matches all except prickers.

[Edit: Bah, too late. And it was my mistake too. -_- Well done, Zak!]

[Zak]

Finally catchin' up!

Alright, this is gonna feel weird, but I'll do a 5 letter word this time:

[Pichu]

Quart

[Zak]

Quart: 2-1-2

~Zak

[Pichu]

I don't know yet... Tutor.

[Zak]

Tutor: 2-2-1 :o

~Zak

[Pichu]

err... this isn't a word, but a brand name: Futro.

Edit: *faints* ... Need this word to complete my contradictions. xD

[Zak]

Futro: 4-0-1 :o :o

~Zak

[Pichu]

Rutro (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=RuTRo) ?

Um... I tried every single letter, and is your word a word? xP

[Zak]

Rutro: 4-0-1

Yes, it is a word, but it's not used that often. What did you use to try?

~Zak

[Pichu]

I tried (a-z) for that letter with that combinations in www.dictionary.com ... No matches found.

[Zak]

I don't know why, but I'm not surprised about it not being on there. Although it IS used in the English language.

~Zak

[Pichu]

Ok then... Yahoo! time.

Jutro (http://glossword.info/term/298,93,xhtml)

[Lady Vulpix]

It could be outro.

[Zak]

Outro it is :)

Note: I did a search on Google, and I see it is a foriegn word... now that, I didn't know. So if you're wondering what the English meaning is, it's a movie/film term, as in the opposite of "intro". INtro, OUTro, hehe, yeah.

~Zak

[Pichu]

I think that's not very fair to use foreign words. =P ... If that is the case, you wouldn't want me to do japanese words. =P

e.g. Cowabunga and Nazgul are still in the english range of words, but foreign ... >.<

edit: if I did 'Nandeska' as a word, you wouldn't get it, would you? which means "what is it" =P

I said it WAS an English word. Pay attention --;. The English meaning has a TOTALLY different meaning than the foriegn word. Outro in Portugese (I think thats what the language was, given that Brazilian sites came up), and as far as I know the meaning in that language has nothing to do with the opposite of Intro, film, or any movies. I bet whoever from Hollywood made that term up didn't even know it was a foriegn word. He just thought of what would sound best as the opposite of intro.... and outro it was.

The only reason I pointed out that it has a foriegn meaning was, was because on Google it found more matches of that kind of "Outro" than the meaning I had in mind. I didn't even know it was a foriegn word, until I was bored and tried looking it up on Google. I assumed you also have been using Google, trying words that are _utro, with every letter. Of course I was wrong, but once you said that no matches came up for letters other than ones you guessed would go there, that's when I assumed you were using Google, and investigated the situation. And then, the majority of foriegn sites came up, and I had learned that it is also a foriegn word. So I assumed you had skipped it since you thought of only the foriegn word.

I bet the same would come up on Yahoo!. Although it wouldn't be in dictionary.com, since it's a term that only pro-filmmakers use. I learned it when David Mamet visited our school (yes I'm serious) and worked on a class project with us.

~Zak

[Lady Vulpix]

In that case, I think it would be a good idea to only use words that can be found on dictionary.com from now on (it was a pure coincidence I'd happened to see that word once). BTW, its Portuguese meaning is "other".

How about posting a new version now, Zak?

[Pichu]

Good suggestion Gabi!

Okay... no more words like Nazgul or Hobbit for me. xD
