Two players, Tim Hart (non-voting) and Mike Shefler tied for the "real winner"
slot with 5 points each. The next deal falls to Dave Cunningham, who garnered
6 unnatural points for his bunny definition. Of course, the most points by far
were won by the dictionary (definition #3)--fully half of the voting players
guessed it. This performance further cements my unchallenged status as the
least sneaky dealer, ever.

Take it away, Dave!
