Alphabet Sheep - World Cities - REVEAL!

Declan A Walsh

Well done to the winner wrestlemaniac (what a name!). Congrats and hard luck to silver medalist Irish Aris. Special mention to bronze medalist davetherave who snuck in at the end! Also, well done to Neowise in securing a hard fought wooden spoon!

Great game EN. Thanks very much.

Sawduck

I thought I was a eurovision fan, but I've never heard of it :pac:

Thats why I was surprised so many went for it over Zurich

Congratulations wrestlemaniac, strong performance throughout and a well deserved win.
Hard luck Aris, but that's what you get for abandoning Athens.

Many thanks EN for running a wonderful game and Reveal. But also damn you for reawakening a deep sense of wanderlust.

Excellent reveal EN, just caught up now

Congrats on the victory wrestlemaniac, that was some sequence of Sheep you were on in the mid-game

SineadSpears

Great game EN :pac:

& congrats to wrestlemaniac on taking back the title !!


Was wondering how the game would flow without having any traps in it.

But it was just as fun, & probably wasn't even needed with so many players.


Although I did like seeing traps in the other game because (aside from the obvious) it meant the host can be involved in the game too. Even though they can't score any points, still nice for them to be able to play along in the background after all the effort they put into hosting the game

Zaph

Congratulations on an epic win wrestlemaniac, and well done to the other podium sitters too. And huge thanks to EN for giving us another superb game and reveal.

I'm still unsure what the teammate/key thing is ?

They are Kathleen Grants keys that she left in a bowl. The key number relates to the question number. I randed all of us to see what 26 would get the keys and whatever score she got on whatever letter is added to the pair score.

Trigger

An alternative table!

EN and Ted will LOVE that!

Oh thats ok.

I was worried that my low score would be minused from wrestlemaniacs score. & he/she would loose points & therefore not get the top prize because of moi :eek:

Ooooo, that's interesting.

Kolido

Superb game EN, thanks for running. Congrats to wrestlemaniac and unlucky Aris.

cee_jay

Congrats to wrestlemaniac!
Thanks for running EN. My favourite part was not remembering my answers before the reveal and thinking what city did I put down for this, and thinking of the sheep that didnt occur to me first time round
Still in shock nobody else answered Melbourne!

Congrats to our deserving winner. Very close at the end.

Thanks to EN for running it and for a reveal well done.

You got close Necro but just couldn't manage it. I shall hold this over you for a long time.

davetherave

Just catching up with the last few letters. Great reveal by our lovely host and congrats to wrestlemaniac. Had a bumpy middle third but got onto the podium at the last step.

Maybe not another town/City one straight away but while I was coming up with my answers for this and reading through the reveal I had thought about an Ireland and UK towns/cities Heeps. Do you do the all nothing strategy of Cork/Cardiff, or the safe Coventry /Carlow. Everyone is going to pick London so Liverpool is a safe bet, but what if everyone else has that same idea.

I do like a good Heeps, until the thinking and overthinking and second guessing takes over

HeidiHeidi

I keeled over before the very end last night, I'm afraid - I didn't even have the jeopardy of being in the running for the wooden spoon to keep me awake by then!


What a brilliant finish (for some more than others, but hey, as your Mammy hopefully told you many years ago, someone has to win) - another to-the-wire one - how do ye engineer them??!!


Congrats to the podiumers, and the ding-dong winner/runner-up.


Great game, thanks EN!


Look forward to the next one, one of these fine days I'll get my head around how most of the brains on here work.


Or stick to PEEHS, or HEEPS!

Omackeral

Is HEEPS or PEEHS the opposite of Sheep, you go for low answers? Like Pointless?

HEEPS you go for the aces, like Pointless.

PEEHS you go for the second-most-popular answer. V tricky!

Omackeral

Very good. I assume there are wrong answer in HEEPS? Because there’s not in the SHEEP games I’ve played.

Exactly - PEEHS is the opposite of SHEEP (geddit? ), so like Pointless. The only thing is people avoid the obvious answers, so sometimes they score well, it's a headf-ck

HEEPS is SHEEP except the top answer scores zero :eek:

Edit: HH beat me

Yep, a wrong answer scores 1.5x the top answer

Omackeral

Brilliant! Thanks. They sound interesting.

No wrong answers in SHEEP or HEEPS

There are wrong answers in PEEHS though that give you a score of 1.5 times the sheep.

So for an eg if the sheep was 4, an incorrect answer would give you 6

Reb's Music Acts Picture Peehs is still open I believe, if you like band photos. Don't worry about it being part 3, it's standalone

Reberetta

Thanks Electric Nitwit, 'grats to wrestlemaniac. Disappointing to finish fourth. Underestimating the popularity of Utrecht was the killer for me.

Rikand

Congrats Wrestlemaniac

Thanks for running EN

Delighted with top 10 after starting off the game with Athens and Brussels
