Default [Dixonary] Rnd 3033 -New Word RUDISTS

Actually I wanted to play "SHIP LOAD" but couldn't see any sensible way
of eliminating the usual load of cobblers. It is a weight measure for
coal = one Ship Load = 20 keels (=Â* about 430 tons (tonnes)) used in
20th Century for coals from Newcastle ... however

so, in keeping with the political and seasonalÂ* festivities I ask for
definitions and DQs for RUDISTS

Don't look it up but please submit to johnb (AT) john-barrs (DOT) co.uk or
johnnybarrs (AT) gmail (DOT) com

Time frame - by 10pm GMT tomorrow 6th December and other times appropriately

Thanks

Benjamin,

You're basically trying to second-guess people's thought processes. At first glance you might think "Nobody will ever believe a definition that's that long." But then you might think they will reason "Nobody would submit a fake definition that's that long, because nobody would believe it, so it must be the real one." And then you think "Because people will reason that way that it must be the real one, I'll submit a long fake and people will vote for it." And then you think they will think "Because that logic is so obvious, nobody would submit such a long definition, so it must be real; so I'll submit one."

And so it goes, back and forth.

However, a warning: if we see one very long definition in the list THIS time, we'll know it's yours!

Unless, of course, it's the real one.

Efrem

One way to outthink people is to make them think that you think what they
think you think.

Default Re: [Dixonary] Rnd 3033 -New Word RUDISTS

I have a rules question: If a definition has a semicolon and then further
explanation after the semicolon, is it allowable to only post the first
part of the definition?

Here's what the explanatory text in the official rules has to say about that (page 6, just below the midpoint):

Some players (1842) regard everything after the headword in a dictionary en- try as the definition. That is not how lexicographers see it. For them, it is a dictionary article, which may contain one or several definitions; but also an etymology, citations, various kinds of label, and so forth. None of these other elements is, strictly speaking, part of the definition. The lexicographers’ acceptation of definition must be decisive in this game, since we are all playing at being lexicographer.

Dealers often present a dictionary article rather than just a bald definition. Rule 3(b) leaves the dealer a free hand with nondefinition parts of the source dictionary article. Dealers routinely reorder, abbreviate or suppress labels, cross-references, citations and etymologies. Abbreviating an etymology needs skill if the result is not to look fictitious (566). If in doubt, omit an over- long etymology rather than shorten it.

My interpretation of this is that posting only the first part would be fine.
