Rnd 3660 CARROMANCY Results
John Barrs
To instruct you to “Divine Divinations” was more than I could avoid. The actual definition (#4) was one of the varieties for ceromancy which is divination using wax but there are many ways of looking at shapes made by wax as it cools and I chose one which is not really descriptive enough but… I was glad to see that not all the offerings related to divination and the winner, Judy, had provided a non divination definition and is the next dealer, Two other people, Dan and Eric are the real winnahs
Over to you Judy

I think the vote counting went a bit awry here. In the posted table, the voted column is entirely correct by my reckoning. It matches the messages in my inbox. It just doesn’t chime with the votes from column, and they can’t both be right.
I have Shani (#2) getting 3 votes not 2. Those votes appear correctly in the posted table against the names of Judy (#3) voted 2,8; Dan (#6) voted 2,4; Efrem (#11) voted 2, 8. They are just counted up wrong.
I have Judy (#3) getting 3 votes, not 4. A vote from Efrem is counted against her name, but as mentioned in the previous line, Efrem voted 2,8 not 3,8.
I have Efrem (#11) getting 1 vote, not 0. As is correctly shown in the posted table, Eric (#8) voted 4,11.
Since Eric guessed correctly, that brings the real definition to a score of D4.
To summarize:
That changes the leaderboard, but round 3661 has already commenced. Dan has not claimed the deal, and by this time, some players would be inconvenienced to little point if we were start over: Judy, who has spent a candidate word; and also any players who have already submitted a fake.
I propose we do what has been done in several past deals (for example 1668, 1768, 2477, 3244, 3446): let the started round proceed, and simply ask Mike to correct the rolling scores after the fact.

No particular harm done.
Seriously, it's fine, just very unexpected.
