Default [Dixonary] Round 3104: GRA [Progress Report]

As of 19h00 CEST, with about 14 hours to the original deadline
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=4&iso=20200912T09&p1=328> for
submissions, I have submissions from

- Efrem G Mallach
- Tim Bourne
- John Barrs
- Judy Madnick
- Dan Widdis
- Debbie Embler
- Chris Carson
- Ryan McGill

I don't think a word has ever been withdrawn for lack of interest before
and it's not a precedent I'd be happy to set, so I'm pushing the deadline
out
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=4&iso=20200913T09&p1=328>
to the same time on Sunday 13 September.

Default [Dixonary] Round 3104: GRA [Progress Report]

Paul,

I've noticed this happens pretty regularly of late.

I know of at least one player who likes to let the word burble around in his or her head for as long as possible and submits defs close to the deadline (or close to bedtime when a deadline, which is at a reasonable time of day for the dealer, falls during his/her sleeping hours). Said player will now probably let GRA burble for 24 more hours.

Point taken. But to announce an extension a couple of hours before the
deadline, at a time that would be in the small hours for the majority of
players, struck me as inconsiderate.

I used to try to let the word burble. But I found that more often than not,
it tended to burble away into the void. Apparently, words like to burble in
voids more than in my head.

Hey, I thought I had a copyright on the alliterative announcements!Â* 😉



Although including the woid certainly does step it up a notch.

Re-sent because I'm not on your list, although I sent it in yesterday.
