This was a close round, and as voting drew to a close I was wondering whether I was going to have to
look up the rules for resolving a tie. But not quite: the last few votes left Dan clearly ahead,
though by only one point, from the "real" winners, Paul and Tim L, with their destructive spirits.
I'm not over pleased with my D6, but at least there were no DQs.

So the next deal is for Dan Widdis with 7 unnatural points for his waste wool or silk.

1: nonsense.
