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...evilkeen wrote:Well with some of the categories I had trouble thinking of 5 things, let alone the BEST 5 things!

Re: Sheep Game
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.kingsley wrote:Will I lose points if nobody else picks a word that I've chosen?

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

Re: Sheep Game
LOL - you've never played a sheep game 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.

Re: Sheep Game
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.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

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

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