Default Re: [Dixonary] Round 3012 ASYNTEDON results

My apologies to Debbie for my tactical vote. Were I playing for points, I
would have voted for #8, which was indeed the real definition. But I was not
playing for points; I was playing to avoid the deal.

I had no words in store to play, and unlike everyone else, apparently, I find
the process of researching suitable words to be time-consuming and
frustrating. I actually don't mind the mechanics of dealing, but finding good
words to play is murder. I really, really don't have hours to spend poring
over unabridged dictionaries. There was a time when I would read dictionaries
for fun, but moiling for words that combine the characteristics of obscurity,
having not been played before, having hard-to-guess definitions and
(preferably) not being known by John Barrs is more work than fun.
