I can't improve on the template Paul has included in the new version of
Cory. Hopefully I've fended off a screwup by removing my original def post from
the Google group, giving the opportunity to correct the list.
Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the 18 definitions for
FALDING presented below for your edification and entertainment. The
remaining definition is, believe it or not, real.
Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value (or values) of
"good" that seems appropriate to you (such as plausible, politically
correct, embarrassing, witty, implausible, long, or as chosen by a random
number generator). You can do this whether or not you have not submitted a
definition, and whether or not you have played before. You're not allowed to
vote if you know the right answer.
