Default Fwd: Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results

Sorry, originally sent privately

*JohnnyB*

I thought that you could vote for your own definition, (and may want to
do so for strategic reasons) but that your vote for your own definition
does not count in the votes for that definition

Original rules 8)Scoring follows1) You get one point for each vote
(other than your own) foryour definition,

Paul Keating's "Real Rules" do not mention it (and by the way, (probably
for Dan W) the main 'Game Rules and Advice' page on dixonary.net has
'not found links' about the rules - one has to go to the rules section
itself)

Â*So I submit that you can vote for your own definition but receive no
points for so doing
