Well, I'm not playing, so I LIUed it. My hat's off to anyone who gets it without LIU! Good luck ...

but CK, the idea isn't to "get it", the idea is to invent a definition that's compelling to others!

Good luck ...But, CK, it's the creative types, the ones with lunatic imaginations, that bluff the best in this game. You're a natural! You may have eliminated yourself from round one, but please Do jump in on round two! In this game the "winner" often doesn't get the bast laughs from fellow players, so, in a sense, the "losers" are often the best players.

I think I may have to cut this off later today, as I've already got eight 'entries' - didn't know what to expect.

here's the scoring rules slightly modified from the board game:
SCORING RULES
1. One point is given to each player for every vote (or guess) his phony definition receives.
2. Two points are awarded to each player who chooses the true* meaning.
3. Three points are given to the moderator only if none of the players choose the true meaning.
4. Three points are awarded to any player who submits a definition which is similar or very close to the correct
meaning.
5. If two or more players submit a definition per rule 4 (in the judgment of the moderator), the round will be thrown out with no points scored (or the moderator can disqualify obvious attempts to sabotage the game :-Ţ )
6. A player may vote for her own definition but scores points only for those others she can bluff into also voting for that definition.. (i.e., you can't get a rule 1 point that way!)
since we're trying to promote the game, I'll let anyone vote in round 1 but, obviously, only the submitters will accumulate score. we can make adjustments as we go.
*true meaning is at the discretion of the moderator, distilled from the usually accepted sources (OED, W3, MWCD, AHD)

mav micturates and moans why aren't we doing this thing in Wordplay & Fun - or isn't it going to be fun? I actually considered moving it over there, but then thought that would unduly complicate things for some.

That's mighty considerate, ole timer. God knows what we'd do if we had to learn to use an index, too
