The extra time yielded a few more definitions: you now have a baker’s dozen farls to choose from. Editing on my part has been no more than regularization of initial capitals and final points, so if there is any remaining error, it is entirely the definer’s fault.
Please vote for two, in reply to this message, by the deadline, which is Thursday 21 October 21h00 CEST, or 47 hours from time of posting. Having extended the submission phase to 3 days, I will happily close the voting phase as soon as all of the expected votes are in. In the interests of brisk progress and a snappy game, please vote early, vote twice, and maybe we can be done before that.
