While several players told me that they might be DQ for STILYAGA, no
one confirmed it after I posted the defs. I decided not to combine
any of the style- or hut/house-related defs, and, by and large, those
were the ones which attracted the most votes.
The next deal goes to Dick Weltz with 7 natural points for his witch's
house, with Millie Morgan in coveted second place with an unnatural 7
for her hut with chickens legs. Four of you guessed that STILYAGA is
the rebellious Russian stylish dresser, and Chuck Emery deserves a
mention for getting 6 natural points.
Over to you, Dick.
