Well,
It's a simple charade type. I assumed it would be solved in under 10 minutes once the first three letters were discovered.

Nine of them with one missing

I can only think on Nonet which would be Nt with one missing

I figured it might start with ENN, which is why I tried "Enneagonal" - but no...

But if the start of the clue makes the first three letters then the definition is more likely to be something to do with the (stern of the) ship right?
I am not close anyway, everything I try seems to fall short.

Which leaves me with ENGINEROOM which is two words and doesn't fit the rest of the clue either.
Oh well, we'll find out in twenty minutes or so!

It probably is to Rancor ... but it went "WHOOOOOOSH!" with me.

And me I can't think what he means by nine with one missing, Nonet - one = Nt and that's as far as I've got

My guess was that super was close with it starting with "Ten", but I can't find a word that fits the rest of the clue with that

Nincompoop
Nin = Nine with one (letter) removed
com = corporate site/domain, as in ".com"
poop = as in poop deck
|

What part of the ship is that?

I imagine if you ask a captain, he might tell you he has at least one of them working for him 
But I think the definition part has just been left out to be honest, which is probably why it took so long 
|
|
|
|
|
I think you're right ( mising definition ) it should have included idiot or some allusion to stupid ( nincompoop )

Well,
You codeproject guys are adding definition/synonyms to your CCC?. Now I see why only five members have been answering the CCC for the last two years. You have memorized each others CCC characteristics.

That's the correct answer, you are up Monday.
Nine with one removed - NIN
from the corporate domain - COM
dropped their trousers at the stern of the ship - POOP

So, if I want to get into dangerous programming overdrive, some "alert authorities before ingestion" type coffee plus some good music works wonders. What's your goto music for getting into the programming zone?
Though I'm 55 and the music of the mid-70s was 'my music', I almost always find myself going to the 90s for the good stuff. The Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness" or "Siamese Dream" seriously move me. And, strangely I somehow managed to miss the whole shoegaze thing back when it was happening, but I really love a lot of that these days. Something like My Bloody Valentine's Sometimes really speaks to me. No Doubt's Magic Kingdom, the RHCPs, Blues Traveler Four, Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, Radiohead (everything pretty much), the Jellyfish, Fionna Apple's Tidal, Mazzy Star, and on and on.
In retrospect, I think that the 90s was sort of the last great peak of music before everyone just starting stealing it and before massive digital manipulation became a matter of course. Not that I don't like the 60s/70s, I just never get the urge to put any of it on with a cup o'joe and program like a crazy man.
