[Dixonary] Curiosity

[Ryan McGill]

Hey, so I keep getting the urge to look up the real definition after I've
voted, but before everything is announced. And like, it's a lot of fun to
look at all the information when it comes out, so I haven't yet.

But even so: I'm curious how often anyone else looks up the definition
before the official reveal (but after the vote, nat'). And also how often
anyone ends up with a DQ after the announcement, but not at the time of
announcement (that is, how often people come to know the dictionary
definition—deliberately or otherwise—without knowing it to begin with).

And I'm also curious how often people craft fake definitions when they DQ.

Care to share?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan

I look up the real def after I've voted and I know others do. You can't
influence the game at that point.

Also, if you're DQ you can still submit a def because that enables you to
get votes (although it shouldn't resemble the real def). I thought I might
be DQ for this one when I saw the list, but turns out I wasn't. It's pretty
rare.

1 I can't remember ever looking the word up after voting. I'm happy to wait and watch the voting
without knowing.

2 If I'm going to be DQ, I nearly always have at least a suspicion when I see the word, and warn the
dealer if it's a strong suspicion. But I'm sure there have been times when the definition brings
back a memory that had been lurking.

3 Being DQ makes no difference; I always send a definition unless there's some other reason for not
doing: no time, or too late, or just can't think of one that I like.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.
