Sheep Rustling

[Homer J. Fong]

I sent answer in, then had to check on thread to Make sure I'd answered the right question 🙈🙈
😀

I can confirm that everyone who's answered so far has answered the correct question

Mam has just given me a new strategy: we all give "wrong" answers to the question. Just pick random words or phrases that have nothing to do with what's being asked. We all score aces but their rustler also gets nothing, while our top quality rustler steals lots of tasty sheep points. It's a guaranteed win!* 

But ssshhh, don't let that Red team see it. 🤫 Especially not their awful rustler Kol.....

*probability of loss may be exceptionally high

[Trigger]

I think we are better off not giving any information at all on thread to the other team, mix and match your answers each day depending on the topic between sheep and heeps answers. @E.N. wants us to discuss strategies etc.. but fuck that.. let the rustlers have no info at all.

Red team - our strategy should be to just post gifs each day

=my strategy is to pretend we have this strategy so that we can really lead the rustler the wrong way and then sheep with the most obvious answer

'Don't give any info'.  Next sentence gives info 

[E.N.]

So, its just as well that I dont understand what is happening ?

It'll all become clear when the points are revealed. If you want to join in tomorrow, let us know. Even better if you can bring a friend

Ahh Trigger ye will have to fire me so..I dont know how to post gifs☹

[ari101]

To have true strategy I think you have to give too much away as there is no way everyone is on the same wavelength from vague strategy 😂
I'm not sure on thread strategising about collective answer picking will be possible. I just picked one that came to mind 😆 because it was going to feel like doing a heeps if I started trying to work out the best plan... do I go with what I think would sheep in sheep, or do I go with a next best answer (option 2 or 3 or 4 😉) because either way I'm worried the rustler will pick my answer 🙈

In who goes forward as rustler I think there can be a happy medium; no knowledge or too much knowledge about a topic could both be a bad thing... googling is unreliable if you know absolutely nothing, but if you know too much you run the risk of not realising what isn't common knowledge... 😂

[E.N.]

[Mam of 4]

Sorry for taking up the thread lol , it just reminds me of the Big Brother threads on boards (Kol,jluv will remember ) where there were many nights spent teaching some of us how to post gifs
It was so much easier on a desktop!

[E.N.]

@Mam of 4, you can also just click the button below and paste the gif address into the box that pops up

May or may not be an actual image of me

We're all in, reveal at half past...

[Leg End Reject]

Were we rustled or what? 😂

[Trigger]

Ye better have said Stobart Air!!

[Leg End Reject]

Ye better have said Stobart Air!!

Yep, it was the very first airline I thought of! 😎

[Mam of 4]

Teammates, If I didn't give the right answer , well. ..... what did ye really expect to happen

[lorcand1990]

Ye better have said Stobart Air!!

It's the classic quadruple bluff.. but did I call it!?

[E.N.]

Well both teams ended up playing the same tactic, possibly more through luck than design!

Reds
4x Aer Lingus - ari101, Leg End Reject, nothing, jluv
3x Ryanair - aaronjennings, Trigger, Kol


Blues
4x Empire State - Zaph, Neowise, Wichita Lineman, jp liz v1
3x Burj Khalifa - lorcand1990, Homer J. Fong, Mam of 4

So no aces, everyone scores. But what did the rustlers do...?

[E.N.]

First lorcand went running into the field, avoiding the ram and targeting the lambs...

This should be between Aer Lingus & Ryanair. I think on regular sheep Aer Lingus would win out but I'm going to try second guess that & give Ryanair as my answer

So that's three points stolen from the red team

[E.N.]

Next up, Kol waited until the sheep were asleep in the barn and just grabbed the obvious target...

Just going to go with the pretty obvious answer and hope for the best...
...empire state building.

So four points are stolen there, meaning the scores after the first question are:

Reds: 8pts
Blues: 6pts

I was right.. and I was wrong! Doh, at least it didn't cost us too much
