19. S: Name a country featured in Epcot’s World Showcase.



As a kid, I wasn't a big fan of the World Showcase. But getting older, I began to appreciate the area for being one of the best places to have a great meal in Disney World (though for the best restaurants, if you want to eat at a somewhat-regular time you need to make reservations a long time in advance). And it's cool to see the recreations of each country (using a lot of "forced perspective" optical illusions to make each area seem bigger than it really was).

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

When scoring the answers, I had to double-check that I didn't mistakenly leave this as a reverse question (which was actually my original plan)

There are no wrong answers to sheep questions ...

Spoiler:


Russia: 0
TheAllPurposeNothing

... but there are still lonely zero scores. Russia seems like a big omission though. And there have been preliminary plans on multiple occasions for a Russian pavilion (which the above sketch shows).

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

If I was playing, my answer would've been:



USA! USA! USA! USA!

Spoiler:


And that would've netted me the same amount of points as Russia, since none of you picked it. [I really thought that would be the "go-to" answer for people who were clueless about Epcot, assuming that America has to be represented.]

Crap, I think I thought this was a reverse.

Just a little joke ... since I doubt any people consider The Enchanted Tiki Room to be their favorite ride/attraction (in fact, I usually see it mentioned among people's least favorites).
Of course I did that exact thing! Hell, I almost fell for the Winnie the Pooh ride!

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

Besides America, as you can see by the map, there are 10 other countries represented in Epcot's World Showcase. Amazingly, all 10 were chosen by at least one player. Again, good news for a reverse question ... not so good news for a sheep question. What would make one country seem more "sheepy" than the others?

Perhaps being our nearest neighbor to the North?

Spoiler:


Canada: 0
GhostLee

Maybe being our nearest neighbor the South will fare better?

Spoiler:


Mexico: 0
DaveNinja

Can the other players take advantage of a stumble by our current leader?

How well did our English-speaking neighbors across the Atlantic do?

Spoiler:


England (United Kingdom): 0
wishbone



Norway is probably the area the most people go because of the Frozen ride (formerly called Maelstrom, themed after Norse mythology). Perhaps a smart sheep move to pick it?

Spoiler:
Norway: 0
Obi-Wan Jabroni {sd}

Or perhaps not Here's what the new ride is like:



Italy could be a choice because ... of the food?

Spoiler:


Italy: 0
cnicholls44

And Morocco could be a good choice because ... I got nothing

Spoiler:


Morocco: 0
majorjoe23

Well ... they do have Aladdin characters hang out here:



Are we sure this isn't a reverse question? Can the sheep agree on anything? How about France, well-known for it's cuisine, romance, and tower:

Spoiler:


France: -3
Abob Teff
davidh777
Drexl

Epcot's Eiffel Tower is a great example of the "forced perspective" optical illusion ... appearing to much taller than its 76 feet.

Where do you go in Epcot if you want a good beer?

Spoiler:


Germany: -5
A-aron
AaronHernandez
dfmaverick2
Palaver

The two remaining countries are Japan and China. 9 sheep are left. How did the votes go?

Spoiler:
Pretty evenly, as it turns out!



Japan: -4

Decker



China: -5

Standings after question 19:
Spoiler:
DaveNinja -195
Decker -181
Mr. Flix -181
Abob Teff -179
majorjoe23 -160
wishbone -160
dfmaverick2 -157
cnicholls44 -154
Drexl -153
davidh777 -150
Obi-Wan Jabroni -147
GhostLee -146
mwbmis -146
devilshalo -144
tommyp007 -138
Crocker Jarmen -134
Palaver -133
hasslein -131
AaronHernandez -130
TheAllPurposeNothing -126
redstang93 -119
Kal-El -117
A-aron -112
RoboDad -82

DaveNinja's lead shrunk a little, but only one question remains. Though Decker, Mr. Flix, and Abob Teff are all within a unique response (as long as there aren't more than 2 uniques) of capturing 1st place. And there's still a slam to be played by someone.

I can't stand the suspense! It's a long shot, but Cruella DeSheepmaster says I'm still in this thing!

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

20. R: Name one of the 7 dwarves (from the 1937 Disney feature).



This is it! Last question ... the game will be settled here, once and for all. DaveNinja is in the driver's seat for what I think would be his first sheep game win. Realistically, three players could overtake him with a unique scoring at least -15: Decker (who has finished atop sheep game standings 6 times in the past, and was the last submission before I closed the game), Mr. Flix (who has never won a sheep game, but has spend much of this game in 1st place), and Abob Teff (1-time sheep winner, still in contention despite some crippling bouts of honest answers).

And I will tell you now ... there was at least one unique answer given for this question!

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

I don't know if anyone here remembers ... but this question was the finale for a general sheep game way back in 2009. Made even harder by giving a crazy x7 multiplier to the question (not to mention having 40+ sheep playing). And somehow, the majority of the players all answered the same dwarf: Bashful (getting a 140+ point penalty). I don't know what it was about Bashful that just drew people to him. Did we have a similar "Bashful massacre" in this game?

Bashful: 5

This would all be a tease if it turns out DaveNinja got a unique score. Well, he didn't. Here's the dwarf he picked, and the sheep who joined him:

Spoiler:


Happy: 5

Mr. Flix

Uh oh, Mr. Flix matched. That means his hopes for a sheep championship come to an end. Hold it together Happy!

The sheepiest answer for this question was ...

Spoiler:


Sneezy: 6
Decker
majorjoe23
mwbmis
Palaver
TheAllPurposeNothing
RoboDad {sd} -6

And with these matches, Decker's chance at winning this game blows away.

Re: Disney (Reverse) SHEEP Game: When You Wish Upon a SHEEP

Two dwarfs remain: Doc and Grumpy. And three players are left: Abob Teff, Drexl, and Obi-Wan Jabroni. One player will get the sole unique of the question and a big -20 points. The other two match, both being the only thing blocking the other from also getting a big unique bonus. If Abob Teff got the unique, he wins the game. If not, DaveNinja wins the game.
