Will I lose points if nobody else picks a word that I've chosen?

They were devised by the jester though. And let's be honest, his mission in life is to make things complicated and confusing for us... :lol:

That would be a "black sheep" and unless Scurra is going to run this with the "wipeout" variation of the rules, then you shouldn't lose any points. You won't score any for the black sheep though, so don't try to be original.

That is to be commended. We're all half stupefied with Christmas and hardly know which way is up at the moment. :D

LOL - you've never played a sheep game :lol: It goes on for ages....

The one thing you can be sure of is that someone will come first, someone will come last, and the rest will be somewhere between them. ;) Pile in and have fun.

I was going to end entries this weekend, but I know there are still one or two people who were planning on entering who haven't yet done so. So I'll give it a couple more days.

I've had a go, but I asked Xeno for assistance. From what he told me, he was better at this than Mr S. ;)

Ah, but he does love his sheep. He'd find them, don't you worry. :lol: Knowing him he's probably colour coded them or labelled them with some mysterious cipher no one else would understand...
