[Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Tim Bourne and Mike Shefler both got 5 natural votes, and they are both
tied in the 4-round rolling scores. However, Mike is way ahead in the cumulative scores, so he becomes the new dealer, leaving Tim as the Real Winner. Only Shani Naylor guessed the true definition, the cylindrical hat, which she selected because she didn't know what a janizary was. A janizary was a 17th/18th Century Turkish Soldier, looking like this with his zarcole on: Over to you, Mike. -- Tim L *** ZARCOLE *** 1. a twisted pasta Submitter: Debbie Embler Votes: 2 & 7 Score: 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 Voted for by: Dan Widdis 2. a place appointed for a relay of horses Submitter: Dan Widdis Votes: 1 & 3 Score: 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 Voted for by: Debbie Embler 3. a large roundhead cabbage [also CZARCOLE] Submitter: Johnny Barrs Votes: 4 & 8 Score: 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 Voted for by: Dan Widdis 4.

Phew! I'm sure that's the most votes I've ever received and not been dealer. Congratulations, Mike!

[Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Silly question, perhaps:
There's nothing in the rules about voting for one's own definition. Strategically, it's not a great move, as it halves the chances of guessing the correct definition. But as there's no official ban on it, I figured it was worth a shot strategically to coax a vote or two more (which, admittedly, I did poorly, voting late in the round). I assume it could be considered unsporting or bad form, but since I saw no ruling, it seemed like untrod ground. Has the topic of a self-vote been broached before? Is the no-point thing official or discretionary?

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Ryan,
The rules say, in the scoring section, "Provided always that the author of a definition, or a contributor to a combined definition, never receives points for voting for it." Seems to me that this sanctions voting for your own definition if you so choose. I've also seen it happen by accident; once in a while someone forgets which of the definitions is theirs, and it looks plausible, so ...

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Absolutely true, though in an ideal world combined definitions should have originally been so similar that the author of any would still recognize it. If a definition has to be rephrased so much as to be unrecognizable when combined, perhaps the two shouldn't have been combined at all. There are always borderline cases, but still.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Oh yes, voting for one's own definition has been addressed. It is
historically well-founded. In the early stages of the game, when I was a regular player it was a not-uncommon tactic used to draw other votes. But, beyond that, it was an all-the-time tradition for Howard Benner, creator of the TapCis Forum where the game originated. He always did it. Everybody knew it. It was such a thing that whenever another player was found to have voted for his own def, he was said to have "Bennered." Howard never fooled anybody. The other thing he *always* did was submit a definition that had something to do with horses. Some 'bone connecting a horses' fetlock to the...' or some such thing.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
I'm attempting to reply to Johnny's message, but I can't seem to find it on
the thread. In any case, I see where I went wrong: I was looking in the rules for voting, not the rules for scoring. Cheers, all, and thanks for all the delightful historical notes.

Re: Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
Oh, yes! Obviously you can’t score yourself a point by voting on your own
definition. It is a complete throwaway, whether you are attempting the old hockey fake-out or just being...unique, like the late, great HB.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3021 ZARCOLE Results
I’m surprised this case isn’t mentioned in the “Real Rules”.* And I see the dead links. At some point I’ll figure out how to log in and edit the pages for the broken links from the summary.* I consider it a success that I haven’t forgotten to renew the domain name.
