[Dixonary] Round 1831 -- scytodepsic - results!

[Judy Madnick]

Well, I hope Cory tallied this correctly. <G> No one guessed the "real" definition, although there was one DQ.

In round 1831, 2 players earned top spot with 4 points: Tony Abell and Guerri Stevens. Guerri is ahead in the rolling scores for the last five rounds and will be our next dealer.

Scott Crom takes runner-up position with 3 points.

The true definition was 7: "of, like, or pertaining to tanning leather" (Forthright's Phrontistery -- and other sources on the Web), which no one guessed. There was, however, one DQ.

2. Merely mechanical; routine

Round 1831 -- scytodepsic - results!Judy,

Congratulations on the D0.

I need to know who was DQ.

And who, if anyone, voted but did not submit a def.

And who, if anyone, got DP.

And your social security number, date of birth and mother's maiden name.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to post the rolling scores and flee to Brazil with your bank account.

Mike

[Toni Savage]

Now *THAT* is the perfect word,... EVERY player got at
least one point, except foryou!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You pitched a perfect game! <g>

I guess I didn't send you a progress report, did I? <sigh>

I wasn't sure whether it was still considered a DO if someone was a DQ (John Barrs). So . . . thanks for your congrats! That's my VERY FIRST DO!

Will this work? (Sorry that it didn't format well.) Lodge got the dealer points in case that's not clear. I think you can see who didn't submit a definition, and the "N/Vs" seem clear, I think.

Judy,

You have Widdis listed twice, once as having 2 points and once as none.

I think 2 is correct, but maybe someone else should be there at the end than
Widdis.

MS> You have Widdis listed twice, once as having 2 points and once as none.

The one with no points voted, and the one with 2 points didn't vote.
Imagine that.

I knew I had multiple personalities, but I didn't know Judy knew that! :)

Nope, they're both "Widdis." I had two email addresses for him in Cory and accidentally used one for his definition and the other for his votes. DUH!

Sorry about that. I guess we should have realized that was the case or he might have complained. <G>

Judy

[Paul Keating]

Mike, my guess is they are both correct. Judy did not notice that Coryphæus
decided that Dan was two players (because, at a guess, he posted a def from
one email address but voted from another). One of the Dans voted for 4 & 12
but didn't submit a def and got no points. The other Dan submitted a def,
and got points for it, but didn't vote. The reality, of course, was that the
same person submitted the def, and got the points, and voted.

Actually, it is more likely that it's my error. I inserted the definitions manually, and since I have two email addresses for Dan, I chose one for the definition and the other for the vote.

But, yes, they are one and the same.

Judy, I'm pretty sure I had 3 votes for my def. Don't know who the other

each....)

Again, don't blame Cory -- it was my fault.

IOW, I didn't pay attention to which of you I was choosing. I will immediately remove your "twin."
