I think a suitable challenge to follow Jim Hart's DURN will be:
***** *YIRN* *****
Do NOT hit "Reply"! This message goes to all players, as do direct replies
to it. All responses at this stage should be private, directed to the
dealer only.
[NOTE: In order to prevent the unintended revelations that have occurred in
some recent rounds, may I suggest: Write the word, the deadline (see
below), and my personal address (see header above) on a piece of paper.
Then delete this message, so there will be no chance of your accidentally
replying directly to it and revealing your fake def to the other players.]
Do not look up the word.
If you are familiar with this word and its definition, or think you know
what it means, please let me know immediately (too many such, and I'll
choose a different word).
Otherwise: Concoct a "definition" calculated to fool your fellow players
into believing that it came from an actual dictionary. See that I receive
it no later than Friday, 25 May, 5 p.m. EDT. That'll be somewhat earlier to
my west, 10 p.m. in England, 11 in the Netherlands, and 7 Saturday morning
in Oz.
