And the next deal is for Dave Cunningham with 7 unnatural points

We had 2 players DQ, Johnny Barrs unsurprisingly, and Tony Abell.
Nevertheless, Dave Cunningham figured out what a Caganer is; and his choice,
together with a vote-getting fake def, makes him the leader and next dealer.. Real
winner is Tim Lodge, with 6 points.

Hugo Kornelis submitted a fake def, which go omitted from the published
list entirely through my error, and he has been awarded 2 dealer points.

The concept of this creature and its use seemed so bizarre to me that I
felt confident we'd have no DQs, but I was mistaken. Nevertheless, I thought I
would include a picture of one of these things for all to see:
