time out. you may think there are conflicting messages here, considering Faldo's explication vs. Rule A, as given above.
let's see if I can clear this up somewhat: let's say that in a given round Faldo's bluff collects the most votes, and that in addition two other voters choose the correct definition. Faldo would usually be considered the "winner" of the round, and the those other two would probably be awarded a lovely set of kudos. if the latter award is worth "cheating" to you, it's your award and you're welcome to it.
ultimately it's your game too, if you want to play it straight and it gives you pleasure to suss the actual def'n, that's fine. if you prefer to vote for what you feel is the "best effort", that may arguably be a "better" way to play the game, but it is assuredly a different approach. I think this is actually why we arrived at Rule A.
from the aspect of the hogmaster (read moderator), the most important thing is probably the choice of the word. it should be really obscure, of course; but etymologically it should be
blank. if you glance at the
list so far you can see how well we've done in that regard.
edit: this would appear to be round 89.
