Hi all

Not a great round for your dealer - of the 10 players who voted, all but 2
picked the right def. Ah well, I thought SOUL SCOT seemed suitably vague
and vaguely Scottish, which it wasn't. The winner this round is Efrem M,
with 5 unnatural points, for his per-capita tax. Second place went jointly
to Dan W & Johnny B.

Take it away Efrem.

*Nyctalus*_.
Tim L, who voted 7 & *11. Score: 2

2. A mildly hallucinogenic mushroom found in the Scottish highlands.
Mike S, who voted 8 & *11. Score: 3

Vote from Tim B.

3. Any tax levied on a per-capita basis; e.g., a poll tax.

This comes as a bit of a surprise, perhaps because I didn't keep track of things. New word by mid-afternoon eastern U.S. time (about six hours from now, give or take). Defining time will be a bit longer than normal, until Sunday evening eastern U.S. time, when we get home from visiting friends in a remote area with next to zero Internet access over the weekend.

Efrem
