tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 9577 Loc: this too shall pass	okay, against my better judgment I'll throw this out for debate. consider the situation: we have a True Meaning; we have two submittals which approximate TM but are unequal; if we list them all, we now have three (3) similar meanings. I don't know about you-all, but at this point I would, as a voter.... _________________________ joe friday

maverick Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/15/00 Posts: 4683	Yes, not ideal. But seems to me that otherwise a genuine Good Guess (GG®) is penalised harshly by scoring only say 1.5 - yet the LIU merchant might be tempted if they know they can score to the likely max in that one go (OK, I know some got 4 this round) But hell, it's a game - I must be bored this afternoon to be debating it I go with whatever you say

The only reason I could see for cancelling the round is if there were too few submissions to make it interesting (and based on round 2 there's no danger of that). No need to split up the Good Guess points, unless you suspect that the multiple Good Guessers have cooperated in their colluctation. And we can use the University of Virginia's Honor Code to ensure that there is no cheating... erm, nevermind. Oh, just don't LIU, even if you are attending Long Island University.

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 9577 Loc: this too shall pass	otay, the scoring, near as I can figure it: flatlander 6 (4 for def'n, 2 for guess) bingley 4 (4 for def'n) geoff 3 ( for guessing with def'n?) wwh 3 ( "" ) fiberbabe 2 ( for guess) sparteye 1 (for def'n) whitmano'n 1 ("") tsuwm 1 ("") rhubarbc 2 (see A&C Scoring Annex, amusing the mod. ¶) paulb 1 ("", disgusting the voters sub-¶) honorable mention for correct guesses: jazzo and rapunzel open question: should we score something for correct guesses from "non-players"? In the interest of fairplay, I'd give jazzo and rapunzel a point, although it's not presently in the rules. _________________________ joe friday

No need to split up the Good Guess points you make a good case, flats. cynic that I am, I fear that there might be someone who would actually LIU if the reward looked to be rich enough, and that's what I was attempting to ward off [hmmm, I can get 3 points easy... but if everyone does it I'll just end up splitting... naaah.] but, at least for this case, I'm inclined to agree and I will update the scores accordingly. I think the moderator should reserve the right to resort to the A&C Annex in these cases.... _________________________ joe friday

Rapunzel enthusiast Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 328 Loc: Eastern Pennsylvania	open question: should we score something for correct guesses from "non-players"? Is it too late to become a player? And, do I need to submit a definition to Round 3 in order to be considered a player?

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 9577 Loc: this too shall pass	yes, for each round the "players" are those who submit definitions -- it takes a modicum of effort to craft something that will garner votes, I guess. _________________________ joe friday
