Default Re: [Dixonary] round 3075 "Sporange"

Thank you, Joe! Welcome!

One question: Where are you located, specifically in what time zone? The reason for asking is that some dealers try to give deadlines in the time zones of all active players. There are many time zones, including a few where English is the native language, where we don't have anyone yet - unless you're in one of them.

If you want to submit a fake definition for WITHY, send it to clca... (AT) live (DOT) com <> before the deadline, which is 6 am on Wednesday, May 20th in U.S EDT and perhaps a different time wher you are. There will then be a day or two for voting, in which you're also encouraged to participate. Chris will tabulate and announce the results when the voting period is over. Whoever wins Round 3074, and that could be you, will deal Round 3075 - but not until then, and we won't know who it is until then.

Since you didn't submit a fake definition or vote in Round 3073, you can't be the dealer now. If you want to deal, be sure to play. Sooner or later the dealing gods will smile on you and you'll get your chance.
