Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

I can't believe I was an idiot and forgot about Sir Paul or that I went with Price is Right over Jeopardy or that I second-guessed myself and went with The Wizard instead of my first inclination - the Scarecrow.

Team cranberry™ concurs. Big thank you to both copperpot and Amy for making Sheep happen.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

Please. Obsess is not the correct word.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

Seems fitting:

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

I echo the praise for Ms. Pot.

A few seasons ago, she was flexible with the deadline, then took a lot of crap for being hardcore in the final week.

We usually have four days to get answers in. Other than an occasional question about where a player may land, answers aren't likely to be affected by waiting.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

Even that potentially incorrectly assumes that most people will wait.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

It's hard to blow a four-day deadline. But we do it.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

The only thing that sucks about ruling so many people out is that it reduces the total possible points and makes it more difficult to make up ground.

I certainly understand Copperpot's stance on the issue and fully support it, but it seems like this is just a flaw in the game. As people miss weeks for whatever reason or if they quit when they fall out of contention, each week becomes progressively less valuable.

— This week had 32 people play. The first week had 44. That's 120 points we didn't have a chance to earn.

— A perfect week this week earned a player 210. My perfect score in week 4 got me 229.

— The top score in week one was 245, and 210 would have placed you 16th.

Again, not trying to pile on Copper here. Not sure if there's a solution or if this is just the way the game works.

 

Re: SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 6 questions, page 24)

There's not. Songbird had 34 posts on this board over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Missing the deadline is his fault.
