I’m surprised this case isn’t mentioned in the “Real Rules”. And I see the dead links. At some point I’ll figure out how to log in and edit the pages for the broken links from the summary. I consider it a success that I haven’t forgotten to renew the domain name.

Silly question, perhaps:
There's nothing in the rules about voting for one's own definition. Strategically, it's not a great move, as it halves the chances of guessing the correct definition. But as there's no official ban on it, I figured it was worth a shot strategically to coax a vote or two more (which, admittedly, I did poorly, voting late in the round). I assume it could be considered unsporting or bad form, but since I saw no ruling, it seemed like untrod ground.
Has the topic of a self-vote been broached before? Is the no-point thing official or discretionary?

Tim Bourne and Mike Shefler both got 5 natural votes, and they are both tied in the 4-round rolling scores.
