Sheep Rustling - E.N. - 04-04-2022 OK folks, let's go! Firstly, we have TEAM RED: @nothing, @Kol , @ari101, @Jluv, @aaronjennings, @Trigger, @Leg End Reject Your question today, is name an airline Next up we have TEAM BLUE @jp liz v1, @lorcand1990, @Mam of 4, @Homer J. Fong, @Wichita Lineman, @Zaph, @Neowise Your question today, is name a skyscraper You each have 24hrs to send in your answer. Don't forget you only score if you avoid an ace. But there's sheep rustlers on the loose, and they'll be trying to steal points from your team! Both teams, nominated your rustler for the day, and those people send me an answer to the other teams question too RE: Sheep Rustling - ari101 - 04-04-2022 Hi Team 🔴👋 @E.N. I get we are not allowed discuss answers but are we supposed to discuss Rustler nominations, and if so on of off thread? 🤣😅🤔 RE: Sheep Rustling - E.N. - 04-04-2022 (04-04-2022, 08:41 AM)ari101 Wrote: Hi Team 🔴👋Discuss everything on thread Don't mention specific answers though. I think things like "I think our rustler should avoid the obvious answer, I assume they all will" is part of the game. But anything you say can see been all, so... RE: Sheep Rustling - Kol - 04-04-2022 I think both questions are fairly open, no need for a specialist really. With that said, I'm happy to step forward for our team.

All experimental though, we'll see how it develops RE: Sheep Rustling - nothing - 04-04-2022 Can we strategise here? Surely the optimal option is to pick 2 options, that way there's no worry of an ace and the rustler can only get half RE: Sheep Rustling - E.N. - 04-04-2022 (04-04-2022, 11:17 AM)nothing Wrote: Can we strategise here?

I just fired off an answer! 🥴🤣 RE: Sheep Rustling - jp liz v1 - 04-04-2022 Hi Team Blue go on @lorcand1990 RE: Sheep Rustling - ari101 - 04-04-2022 (04-04-2022, 11:17 AM)nothing Wrote: Can we strategise here? Surely the optimal option is to pick 2 options, that way there's no worry of an ace and the rustler can only get half So are you suggesting we pick option 2, assuming we know what that is ... 🤣 so that the blue team think we are picking 'who the f**k knows 😉 option 2' but we all really psychically know you mean we should pick option 1 (also a 'some random deity only knows' option) 🤣 Or we say we pick 2 and blue thinks we are bluffing, but we do actually pick 2 🤔 (same descriptors and caveats apply to both option 1 and 2 in this scenario). But that doesn't even consider... What to do if you can think of more than 2 possible decent options 🤣 🤯🥴🤣 RE: Sheep Rustling - lorcand1990 - 04-04-2022 (04-04-2022, 02:02 PM)Leg End Reject Wrote:Hi there, this is your friendly neighbourhood census collector.

Surely the optimal option is to pick 2 options, that way there's no worry of an ace and the rustler can only get half Well my thought process was we all pick from limited options, let's say it was a colour, we might say pick one of the Ukrainian flag colours. Then 4 pick blue and 4 pick yellow, so no chance of an ace. The rustler will obviously see it too, so they pick blue or yellow, team gets 4 points guaranteed. But it's a very risk averse way to play, and it means the possibility of the rustler acing and the team getting max sheep is out.

We could all pick yellow and then Lorcan swoops in with yellow and we're screwed. In this strategy, the easiest thing would be first 4 choose the first answer of the 2 options alphabetically, other 4 would choose the other (in the above example, that would mean me, Kol, ari and jluv pick blue....) and I've just noticed there's only 7 on each team!
