Jespah: Doi't be bashful about writing to recent players inviting them to participate. I found that cajoling was necessary and often productive. I won't name names but, suffice it to say, some of us are always a little slow to respond.
We were up to, I believe, 18 definitions to choose from before our recent misfortune. It may take a while to get back there and, I hope, beyond.
My bluff this time is awesome. I hope to fool a bunch of folks-although, never of course, the felines. -rjb-
Okay, reminders went out.
I am still waiting for:
Biblio
TechnoguyRob
Zyzzygogue
I'll give them till, um, May 1st (Thursday). Will that work for all? :-D
That seems quite generous to me!
great, ready to go when you are.
Still waiting on Biblio, TechnoguyRob and Zyzzygogue.
Three excellent players. I hope they make an appearance.
Well, TechnoRob hasn't posted in 10 days, Zyz in 18 days, or Bib in 21 days. I'm thinking that they probably won't be here by Thursday...

macsm11, hiama, Diane and Equus submitted the correct definition. LarryBS decided to sit out this round.
Four correct answers? It must be obvious, but I've never heard of the word before. I tried to think of what the definers' might have in common, but that didn't help.
I'm going with #5.
This has been a bad week for me with my computer. Fortunately, I was able to get some neighbors to bring their kids over to patch me back in! It necessitated me getting a new A2K account, name, etc. I''m still realjohnboy despite what you may see to the contrary. --rjb-
Haha! how old are the neighbor's kids?
RJB - write to support (use the link on the Help Page) and I'll fix your old account for you.
I also vote for #4.
Interesting game!
As Taffy La Blanc was at the groomer she has decided to choose #7
Straight as an arrow firstthought takes # 4

IMPORTANT: If the dasher receives an answer from a player which is similar or very close to the correct meaning, he or she should not list this player's answer. Rather, the dasher should put the answer aside, automatically award 3 points to this player, listing the player's answer only after the round is over. That round will be played as usual (with one less answer), but the player who wrote the similar answer does not take part in the voting. Note: If the dasher receives more than one answer closely resembling the correct answer, the round is canceled and the dasher chooses a new word. However, each and every player who submits an answer closely resembling the correct answer still receives 3 points.
Jes,
It looks like you or another dasher needs to choose a new word, according to the rules posted on page one.
