Thanks, all, for your votes! We're past the voting deadline, AND
everyone who submitted a def (plus two who didn't) have voted. So it's
time to tally the votes and announce the winner.
I think the term landslide is applicable here. With 6 natural points,
plus 2 for guessing the correct definition, Tim Lodge's swampy land has
twice the number of points as its nearest competitor. Coveted second
place is shared between Efrem's Dutch dance (please show me a recording
of the proper moves, I'd love to show it to my son who is professional
singer/actor/dancer), and Mike's lost def. Both have 2 points from their
own def, and 2 points from guessing mine.
These three players were all the players who guessed right, so that's a
D3 for me. I'll take it.
Here are the full results. Tim, over to you!
