Welcome to a very Wolfy game of Sheep
As a brief reminder of the rules, I presented you with 13 regular Sheep questions:
A member of this forum
A month of the year which is also a girl's name
Ring Of Honor is a wrestling company. Name a former ROH Champion
Out of the 12 US states that begin with a vowel, name one
Name a point of the compass
Just one Doctor Who question: name an alien species in Doctor Who
Easy one, this: name something that has a trunk
Name a movie starring Ben Stiller
Name a planet named after a Roman God
Identify one country taking part in the Six Nations
Name a team in the 2023 EFL Cup Final
Give the name of a mainland European country
Select a fast food chain in Ireland
However, before anyone got their answers in, I also submitted my own set of answers. If you gave the same answer as me, you will score zero points for that question

The reveal will take place at 8pm, I hope to see you then
Can't wait, great way to celebrate Pancake Eve
I'm looking forward to consoling myself with pancakes tomorrow š„š„ Batter resting now!
Throughout the sign-up thread, I left several clues that would lead you to the method I used to pick my answersā¦ did anyone pick up on them?
No, no they didnāt
Which means I will leave even more clues throughout this reveal, and the first person to figure it out will receive 5 bonus points at the end of the game
Can you crack the code?
I'm thankful you didn't say everyone bar Mo4 picked up on the clues š¤£
The first question was to name a member of this very forum. But some people were afraid that I might have answered myself, and so decided to name other members of this fine establishment
Tried reading back the sign up thread... Still lost! Hmmm
Four people fell for the trap of naming the host, which means Necro was the best answer to start the game. Ironically, however, it was not chosen by the man himself

Five people get a head-start on the chasing pack, but there are still a lot of traps to be avoided along the way

Lol I see it now š
your name is spelt out with the questions!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
I'll give Necro and Nothing 5 points each, since they figured it out between them
Did anyone wonder why there were exactly 13 questions?
Or why some of them were so strangely worded?
Allow me to reveal the method behind the madnessā¦
I left three clues in the opening post of the sign-up thread, each of which were italicised:
āread down through the questionsā ā¦ āthe clue is in the nameā ā¦ āmy own initial set of answersā.
I also mentioned the Alphabet, and The Jennings Code at various points in that thread
All of which were hinting at one conclusion:
The first letter of every question spelled out my nameā¦ and so did my answers
My favourite clue was in response to Lorcanās question, asking what my answer would be to āName a German football teamā
I said Nurnberg because then both question and answer would start with the same letter, just like all of my other answers. And I said Union Berlin because Berlin isā¦ the capitalĀ
Ha ha, fair play
I now regret a few of my answers š¤£
The second question had, by my reckoning, about 6 decent options - although nowadays I suppose all 12 are valid
. Did either of these fictional characters inspire your answers?
June and May are leagues ahead of the other answers. Three people unfortunately have their points wiped out. No Iām not joking, this is not April Foolās Day
Question 2: A month of the year which is also a girl's name
June - 8

According to Wikipedia there are just four famous people called January. What were you thinking @
Irish Aris? š¤£
This next question was a real slobber-knocker. Who did the FOG Universe push, and who was future-endeavoured?
What a fantastic roster this would make! Chris Jericho may consider himself the GOAT, but here he is the Sheep, as El Toro Blanco is stripped of his points by the Wolf
Question 3: Ring Of Honor is a wrestling company. Name a former ROH Champion

I might have been tempted to say January for January Jones, if I were actually playing along
The top three remain the top three. Jluv and Edser shoot up the table, but itās all very close so far

US geography up next, where I narrowed the options down to just twelve states. Did I end up picking either of these two options as a result?
Probably with the previous question in mind, I only managed to steal one point away this time, as Ohio, famous for (one quick Google search later) having 40,000 miles of waterways ends up Sheeping
Question 4: Out of the 12 US states that begin with a vowel, name one

@

Damn. I almost posted "Sweet Home..." in anticipation of these answers, I thought I'd gone for Alabama š

"For some reason"
Dave takes sole ownership of first place, while Sawduck moves in to joint-second. At the foot of the table, the newly-returned Strawbs ascends out of last place, replaced by Leg End and Irish Aris

The next question asked you pick a point on the compass. What direction did I go, however, and who followed in my footsteps?
Things have gone south for the people who picked North. I thought youād find more sheep in the West, but apparently the East has the greater flock around here

Knew that was coming now that I know the twistš” goddamn you @
aaronjennings š
Note to self.....
There were two obvious answers to this question - but were they so obvious that I decided to Exterminate the points of a different answer?
