He hasn't found the word. He disclosed the list of words that he tried. It's in there somewhere. That's hardly "having a word".

There are four of you with the list; working together, you'd have it within a day. Even not working together, narrowing it down would be fairly easy.

You may not count that as a word, but I do. I'm guessing whatever you got from PoP was similarly "not technically a word," which puts you at the same six that I have.

See, I'd also like this. Sure, voting for somebody with a lot of words may be good, but there could be people out there with as many or more. I'd rather see how other people are doing first.

Three, byers is gone. And I submitted one of the words in my list today sooooo maybe i nailed it, maybe not! I don't know how you could nail it down in a day, what the heck

I did not receive a word from PoP, or a hint to his word, so calm down good god

"The same six" meaning we both have six, not the same six words. God, I hate not being able to edit.

Well, actually, I have 4, and a list of 13 words where one of them may be, so it's more like 4 + 1/13, which is not six

What in the world would you give PoP your word for that isn't a word, or something awfully close to it?

I am hella calm. I spent Sunday playing board games after a nice brunch. It was pretty great.

Let's measure the improvement of 1/13 as opposed to 1/may-as-well-be-infinity.

Oh, yeah, would you look at that, over a hundred million percent improvement. :P

Narrowing down from a list of 13 isn't hard, doubly so if it's more than just you working on it (which is almost certainly why merk shared it).

Maybe I traded him a word today for two tomorrow. Maybe I bought his position, or his trust, or his vote. Maybe I just freely gave it away because he was the lucky guy I contacted N1! Maybe he actually doesn't have my word at all and all of this is a ploy. You're distracting from the argument of how you're accusing me to have a whole bunch of words when I don't, and you seem to be in a serious power bloc

Okay, so I have 4-bestcase-5 words, assuming merk wasn't lying to simply throw us off, which is possible. You still have more than anyone.

I kind of want to see what Somber says when I talk to him out of thread, so ##vote winvirus to keep my hope alive.

At this point in the game, I don't really think anybody is more of a threat than anybody else.

Did he tell you anything about who else was in contact with him? There should be a pretty short list of who potentially lied to him if that's really the case.

I don't have a bloc, certainly not anywhere near as solid of one as you do.

And given that you're talking to MMM today, I may not have anyone at all.

Huh, that's really weird. Because there is only one person I mentioned my "Winvirus is sanbagging" theory to. Using that exact term, too. And yet, somehow:

winvirus posted:

Also, merk, thano thinks I'm much more threatening than I actually am. He legitimately thinks I was sandbagging by submitting six letter words when in reality that was totally accidental because well sometimes i am not smart

So if you're not talking to MMM, I think we need to contact the James Randi Educational Foundation so you can claim your million-dollar prize with your telepathy.

I'm going to go ahead and ##vote winvirus, because while I don't believe merk or PoP, I now know for a fact that he's lying.

Yes. After he turned in his guess, he asked if I lied to him, I said no, then he said that Hal was the other person he was talking to.

I'm willing to hear Hal out, and give him a day to explain his actions. It's actually possible that he isn't lying, and Somber is simply trying to throw shades of deceit on him to make a target out of him. In fact, that is a very somber-like tactic.

I have exchanged words with a couple of people, and am disinclined to vote for them because of it, which I suppose makes an alliance of sorts. But PoP was connected to three people day two, and I was only connected to two. And I'm only connected to two today today, one of whom I was connected to day 2.

Out of curiosity, what was the word he gave you on the incorrect guess document? I'm sure you must expect that more than one of those are correct words meant to lure people off the trail.
