DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Fun & Games ACR: ACRO RND 21 - The vote for UFCU

I’ve tried to upload a picture of Tedted at work, but despite my best efforts and asking Gypsy for help, I just can’t seem to do it. I’m going to see if I can cheat my way around it at the end of this message. I’ll give it to him, he as doing a fantastic job until one def sent him off his chair like he’s just fired a blast off from the woozie.

We have eight defs for you this time. Round 21 voting ill continue until Wednesday evening 6 PM EDT.
1 Unexpected Furry Companion Undercover (A tiny, growling loaf of bread ruling over a king-sized kingdom.)
2 Unexpectedly Finds Cute Unicorns
3 Uninstall Foxy Cheerleader Undies (How did that get on my computer...)
4 Unrepentant Felines Claim Upholstery (when they're not walking across your keyboard)
5 Usual Farcical Computer Update! (Screwed all my settings, again!)
6 Utter fatigue - Coffee Urgent (Must have it.)
7 Uttering Falsehoods Continues Unabated
8 Utterly Fascinating Creature Unlocked

looks like my cheat didn't take.

4, 7, 5

I cry foul... my definition isn't listed

It was turned in on Friday

Hate to say this, but mine is not either. It was also sent in on Friday.

Incorrect Definition rules will apply for Mina and Miales this round. As long as they can prove they submitted definitions

Proof PM'd to Gypsy and Miales (screen shot of the post).

Confirmed receipt

they don't have to confirm. I totally missed them both. Most humble apologies.

Good thing the Woodshed is gone. I don't think even Tedted could have saved me this time.

I truly am sorry. But look at the bright side. You won't be dealing next round. (By way of paltry and meager excuse, this probably happened because I was more focused on trying to get Tedted's picture uploaded. I truly am sorry)


What do the rules say about missing or incorrect definitions?

Mackey <big hugs> I am not worried about it at all. Like you said, this is a round I don't have to worry I will win Please don't worry about it. I honestly am not. Again <big hugs>!

We love you Mouse... good things we have systems in plaxe... Heck not near as bad as when I put the wrong def in for Maiden... She won the deal with what I picked.

Voting can continue

6, 7, 1

Considering it is 5 am and I'm on my third cup...

6, 4, 8

4 6 and 7

Just checked the rules and there is nothing to cover missing defs. I have a vague memory that they got an average score from that game but would like agreement so I can add that to the rules.

Basing it off when I posted the wrong def for Maiden a couple of games ago. Mouse posted like Mina and I didn't submit so technically it is true since he didn'tpost the correct definitionfor us. And yes it would be the average.

4,2,8

If there's precedent I won't complain about average, but as a statistician I think the median would be a better choice.

Average can be skewed by outliers (really high scores) while median puts the missing def squarely in the middle of all the players.

Take for example Round 18 (HPCOS). The average score is 63/7 = 9. But four players scored under 9. A better choice would be 6. It's also easier to calculate.

And since I did math, shouldn't the sum of all scores be a multiple of 6? The scores totaled 63.

Aqua Average is Total points divided by # of voters. Not # of players. So normally 6 to 7 points
