[d] Contributors' votes count two points, non-contributor's one vote.

...as long as it's a Democracy, I'll vote for 'D' as well.

[d] for me, three. If you're gonna go to the effort of coming up with a daffynition (and thereby keeping the game going), you should be rewarded an extra point for getting the right answer. This keeps everyone involved, but offers a little extra incentive to participate.

I'll take A in the generic, meaning all votes should count whether or not the voter has submitted a definition. I also feel rather strongly that an additional point is appropriate for person or persons identifying the correct definition. (Does that mean I just voted for the status quo ante?)

And if we need extra incentive to have people contribute daffynition®s, then the game has just died a natural death and deserves a quiet interment anyway. (Although I suspect even in that case...maybe we'd find after a little while that the game should be renamed "Phoenix" ?)

well, I can see that we're anything you like except unanimous on this issue. so here's my last best proposal: everyone's vote counts, but player's votes get double-weighted

on a more positive note, I've got eight def'ns for widdiful so far, including entries from max, Jackie and musick!
