You know, offered the definition "a category of angel" I might have voted differently.

The term

Grigori (meaning "Watchers") isn't in the canonical Bible, but the concept of Watchers appears in biblical texts like Daniel (as "watchers") and is elaborated upon in non-canonical books, especially 1 & 2 Enoch, describing fallen angels who mated with human women, producing giants (Nephilim), and taught forbidden knowledge, leading to corruption before judgment. While Genesis 6:1-4 mentions the "sons of God" and Nephilim, the specific Grigori lore comes from apocryphal Jewish texts that explain these angelic figures in detail.

Hi Debbie,

I think you forgot to include Dan's votes in the scores. The overview below lists him as voting for 1 and 4 (which matches what I see in the mails), but his name is not in the Others Voted for Player columns, and hence his votes do not count.

Since I am one of the two recipients of his votes, and since it is very rare for me to score more than 1 point, I would really like this point!

Cheers,
Hugo

Hugo, So sorry, you are right. Mike, please add a vote to Hugo's total. 

I hope I didn't omit anyone else.

You show me as having got two votes for my def, as well as voting for the correct def, so I think my total should be 4*, rather than the 3* shown.

Two other votes went a bit awry. The column Others voted for player shows Mike and Hugo voting for #2, giving 3 points to Dan. 

But Hugo voted for #1 and #14 (and not #2), as correctly shown against his name in the column Player voted on. And Mike voted for #5 and #14 (and not #2), as correctly shown against his name.

Making those fixes, I get

I can't do the rolling scores until I know who Joseph L. is.

Never mind, figured it out. I wish dealers would use either full names or last names at least. My memory is not what it was.

So sorry, Mike, plus I am not home to check my Excel sheet, but it looks like Paul assisted. Thanks, Paul
