Griff,
I must know... was this in reference to the previous latin motto in my signature?
Thanks,
-David Delaune

No, why?
I don't remember your previous sig - or that much Latin either, it's been a lot of years - what was it?

Well,
Nevermind then. It was a motto related to preserving all truth and knowledge. I was hoping your Latin was better than mine and could correct any grammatical mistake in my translations.
Btw are you ever going to remove @DalekDave from your sig?
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Maybe. Who can tell?
If he comes back and requests it, maybe - or if Chris gets fed up with sending the emails!

"tgyopmicleyc" ... hmm, not srue abuot taht. Oh, and there's a spelling error in "important"

I would read it as c URL, and wonder what the 'c' stood for in the context of Uniform Resource Locators

I read it the same way, but didn't wonder - I just said to myself: "Oh, so it is implemented in C. Fair enough."
I've been working among Python programmers for too long. I never saw any other group of programmers so eager to tout their implementation language. Fortran programmers never named their applications "forSomething", Pascal programmers didn't call them "pasMyApp" or Cobol programmers "cobSolution". Well, occasionally it might happen, but for 99,9% of the solutions, the application name was some indication of the problem it solved or some product marketing name - not the name of the implementation tool. But Python programmers do that. To such a degree that I have come into the habit of stripping off any prefix that matches a common programming language name.

I believe the leading 'c' stood for "class", not "C" (or "C++") itself.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Hamlet
My first thought was Mcbeth (spelt that way due to the letter constraints) but somehow that didn't seem right

Good luck continuing the theme tomorrow ...

This weeks theme is "fairground equipment", and it's decided by a public vote on MumsNet.

Could you explain the solution?
|
|
|

The theme follows on from yesterday's answer of "Village". A hamlet is a small settlement (not much smaller than a village) which fits in with the theme.
Hamlet is also the name of a Shakespeare play, which is well know (by all those that know it well) for featuring a ghost.
Remember, these themed clues don't always follow the traditional rules of containing a definition of the answer. It is assumed that we already know the theme in advance.

Oh, I knew the theme and knew there was a Play named Hamlet by Shakespeare, I just never read it and didn't know it had a ghost in it. Hence the confusion.
Thanks for the clarification.

I made a suggestion to OG that maybe we return to the old CCC and maybe do a themed one once in a while

I'm not that "pro-themes" either, but ... the majority vote rules here!

They were fun, but the ideas seem to be getting a bit too specific last couple weeks.
But then again, the original method just had me looking for random words that I could turn into a clue. So it's nice having a theme for inspiration.
I guess I am saying they both have pros and cons, and I'm not that fussed if we theme it or otherwise. The fence is well and truly sat on!

Yesterday I had to fight Hammerlocked!
(Eden-6 main mission boss fight)
What an epic fight and epic bugger!
First you bring down his humongous armour and health down (takes a while, was running out of rifle ammo)...
And then he was almost down...
And then he turned into raging warden, regenerating his full health!
What the heck?!
And then he was almost down....
And then he did it again, turning into a super raging warden, and regenerating his full health!
And then he was almost down....
And then he did it again! Turning into mega raging warden, regenerating his full health!
And then he was almost down.... please for good...
But nope, he does it again, turned into an ultimate warden! regenerating his full health!
Alright, ultimate, gunning him down...
And then he does it yet again, turning into godly warden, regenerating his full health!
And then, should be good, right?
Yeah! The warden is finally dead! 
Special thanks to my trusty old Torque (rocket) gun, 140 damage a shot! 700 ammos!
