Default [Dixonary] Round 3116 results

I couldn't resist dealing HOP TU NAA and hoped that players would find the
date too coincidental to be believable. But that didn't happen, and the
Manx Halloween top scored with 7 votes. The winner is Paul K with an
unnatural 4 and the real winner is Nancy S with a natural 3.

Apologies to those players who had italics in their defs, which somehow
fell off in the voting list.

Take it away Paul!
