SUMMER SHEEP Official Thread (Wk 9 questions, page 39)

I'd say thank you for letting me play except for that whole "you can't play anymore thing."

So, I will simply say, "thank you for providing the questions that I answered anyway and then annoyed the rest of the board by faux-playing."

 

Thanks to CP for standing behind the deadline.
It's not her fault you didn't get to play anymore.

 

Thanks for doing this. It provides a ton of fun, disappointment and angst.

 

I'm going to change my user name to Mr. Mediocre ...

 

Fourteenth is not bad, but missing one week completely cost me nine or ten spots on the final standings. I fought hard, and didn't give up.

In most leagues, I make the playoffs, but I'm on the road against the division champ. All-in-all, Team Expendable did a decent job.

Thanks Amy and Coperpot, I'm looking forward to playing the next round.

 

Thanks, Amy and Ms. Pot, for another fun game.

 

Thanks all for playing and, as always, to Amy for the number crunching, especially since I dragged my feet on compiling answers more than once. This was a really enjoyable Sheep session for me, with nearly everyone honoring the deadline. One player submitted his answers an hour late and never voiced one word of complaint that I didn't include them.

 

Touché, Amy. Lesson learned. It was obviously "a bad idea to fuck with the point adder before all the points" were added.

Unfortunately, it wasn't our only mistake this season. Sheep is truly a humbling game. Obviously, Team cranberry™ was extremely disappointed with the final week results and letting the season slip away. It's something we'll have to live with until we fleece up for next season. However, unlike Just_A_SID, Team cranberry™ offers no excuses.

After the results were posted and the players returned to the barn, I called the group together and told them to hold their heads high. Then they stood in front of their stalls and answered every question.

Of course, there were some who criticized our all-out approach. Let me just say that we play to win and make no apologies about that. We don't know any other way. We played hard, we played fair and, unlike Just_An_SID, we played by the rules and respected the decisions made by Copperpot.

Finally, I'd like to say that in all my years with Team cranberry™ I've never been more proud of any group than this Summer '13 team. This was a special group. Especially the seniors.

Thank you Copperpot and thank you Amy.

 

Cranberry:

I hope you explained to the parents of those seniors that the final week's performance did NOT cost their kids scholarships!

 

Pshaw, Cran, it''s mostly sophomores who hang out at the mall.

 

Cran, 'tis better to make deadline and fail than to not make deadline at all.

 

I hope the board understands my humor regarding this game. It was fun.

At no time did I intend to criticize Copperpot for her decision to remove me from the game. If my comments were taken that way, then I apologize.

I know that I can be a real asshole, but I am not that big of an asshole to criticize somebody for just trying to help this board out with an interesting game like Sheep.

I was just trying to have a little fun in the spirit that the thread was intended.

I now need to get back practicing for Sheep 2014. . . hmmmm ketchup or mustard?. . . . famous people with an apostrophe in their name. . . sweet tea or unsweetened?. . . which was the best Kevin Bacon movie?
