Sheek: the Reveal, the sheep game with a knockout twist.

[Neowise]

Inspired by another posts in the sign-up thread, I have decide to try out a new flavour of sheep, this one called sheek.





As I have no idea how this game will play, I'll run its inaugural game small, and see how it plays out, well, that's the plan as of writing this.





As with the game sheep, you are looking for the most popular answer.

The twist is, if you ace, you are knocked out.



These were the questions given:
1) Name one of the colours a snooker ball can be.
2) Name a County in Northern Ireland
3) Name a Spice Girl.
4) Name one of the directions that the arrows point on a standard keyboard.
5) Name a primary colour of light.
6) Name one of the countries on the Korean Peninsula.



The players:
aaronjennings
BuileBeag
davetherave
Declan A Walsh
E.N.
Edser
Homer J. Fong
Irish Aris
Jluv

As people are knocked out, their influence on the scoreboard is also removed.
here is the reviewed numbers for all the rounds.

I have no idea how this will turn out, but thats the method i chose to use, and will continue to the end like this.
I have saved the original reveal and one for each round, so can post the "what would have happened if" scores at the end.

Now, the first 'What if'

What if the knocked out players answers still counted, before and after they were knocked out?

Edser	70
lorcand1990	70
aaronjennings	70
Homer J. Fong	70
Declan A Walsh	65
ShaneU	61
Necro	58

Doesn't change the top or the bottom of the scores in any way, and it was easier to host by deleting the player from the sheepulator as they were knocked out than to have to change produced tables every round. It only separates the midfield out.
If I was to host again, i'd keep using that method.


if you want more what ifs, let me know.

[aaronjennings]

I did not know the primary colours of light were different to the primary colours, that was a little bit lucky

Thanks for the game, @Neowise, always fun to play around with new formats

And congrats to my fellow co-winners @Edser @Homer J. Fong @lorcand1990

[Jluv]

Interesting format @Neowise ! Thanks for the game..
Congrats to the four winners 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[Neowise]

Opps, sorry, dave the rave also won. I'm going to fix up the scores. somehow lost a grouping.

[Neowise]

What if Chat GPT had played?

Note to self - use chatgpt for all future sheeps

If I hadn't gone out on spice girls, I think light colours would have got me (I think I opted for blue)

[Declan A Walsh]

Thanks @Neowise for a great game. Well done to the joint winners @aaronjennings , @Homer J. Fong , @lorcand1990 , @Edser and @davetherave .
And to think I would have been been a joint winner if the scores of the knocked out counted! 

[Neowise]

yeah, that was a mistake. oops. I really shouldn't host while at work

[E.N.]

Fecking South Korea? You'll be up against the wall when we (North Korea) invade FOG and take over!

Thanks for the game Neo, nice twist, would be good to see a slightly longer one, really whittle the field down!

Congrats to all the survivors, especially the podium
