Alphabet Sheep - The Trapper Files REVEAL

Necro

Welcome to a very special 2021 edition of Alphabet Sheep.

The premise of Sheep is very simple - I give you a topic and you PM me the answers based on what you think the most popular answer will be.


However....





I have played as well - and laid some very clever traps that should you pick the same answer as me...

You score....


ZERO.




Our list of players has amassed to 39 and one Necro, for a sum total of....

40 players:

Reveal will kick off at 6.30pm - sign ups still open for another 40 mins or so.

How did you all do I wonder... I hope you remembered to stay away from that trapdoor...:D

Zaph

Is there a prize for the person who hits the most traps? Asking for a friend.

A brand new shiny pair of crutches

Not a prize per se.... though they would win the 'hive mind with Necro' award for sure. :D

Necro

Just holding off till 6pm in case of some stragglers for some Trap stats

Electric Nitwit

Likely to miss most of the live reveal

I submitted a list of what I thought the traps were separately, I'm intrigued to see how close I was

Necro

I'd like to welcome new players SineadSpears and Omackeral to the sheeping world.

I think Seph, cee_jay and cj maxx have played before but possibly not one of my own sheep - you're all very welcome also.

To the rest of you folks, thanks for signing up again - game wouldn't be as fun as it is without so many sheepaholics!!

It has happened on occasion when a new player comes in and takes the win in their first game.

Will it happen again here? Well we will soon find out

Omackeral

Thanks for the welcome! Question if you don't mind? Have you laid traps for all letters or just a select few?

Necro

All of them :D

aaronjennings

Necro

Ok Sign Ups are done and dusted.

I can reveal that people have been trapped on all but THREE letters.



Some were itty bitty traps... others though :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

This is gonna be fun.

Just making sure the Sheepulator is fully correct and we can get rolling...

Yes, that is an elephant cannibalising itself. I've so far been very successful in my traps - will that continue?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Was too busy avoiding traps in this game to actually try and hit any SHEEP... May be looking down the barrel of a wooden spoon...

Necro

Nope, no such luck here as I haven't a clue what I was at picking Delta Goodrem.

One could say I'm lost without you all... hehe... geddit.


David Bowie is a 14 strong sheep here which is very good news for some!

Clarabel

Necro don't you get the trap points? Aren't you higher than 0?

Tauriel

Evanescence is going to be the trap for E

the purple tin

The Doors should score 4 there Necs. I mean 3, sorry.

Necro

Gru still leads but BuileBeag bounces into second place, with Ted and Reberetta just a point behind her.

Everyone is now off the mark at the very least.
