I'm in ... just barely.

Players can still clarify (with penalty) on the amount of memory (xB) and the exact version/edition of Windows they want. If there is no xB specified, it will be wrong. Also, some players have put just the operating system family name, others have not been specific enough when an operating system version has several editions (as noted after question 25).

Look for the game to start sometime Friday (9/4).

Yeah, I live on the West Coast, so 6 a.m. start times aren't happening. We'll get things going soon.

In the meantime, here's another call for revisions from a few players on the amount (in xB) of RAM and the exact version/edition of Windows. If you just put a number for the RAM, it will be wrong. If you left off a version/edition of Windows, it will be wrong (on an x15 question)!

Thanks for making Sheep games possible, Al.

Let's get this thing going. (Be gentle. It's my first time.)

But first, who can't follow directions?

Palaver (+10) for leaving a line blank.
DGibFen (+10) for sending a link to an Excel spreadsheet.

Question 1. S: I'm not the most experienced at this Internet thing, but I've been at it for a while. Why it was ________ when I first used Yahoo.

Yahoo has never been my search engine of choice, so I just put a nice round number.

feenst · 09-04-09, 10:44 AM

How about some uniques?

Thor Simpson

1995: (0)

fumanstan · 09-04-09, 10:49 AM

Oops, sent my late RAM correction

feenst · 09-04-09, 10:50 AM

Now let's see what scored:

My first answer was 99, then I changed it to my true life number.

fumanstan · 09-04-09, 10:55 AM

99 was in my mind too, but I also changed it.

feenst · 09-04-09, 10:58 AM

2000, the year computers were supposed to stop working: (-2)
Imprint
Jeremy517

Which leaves three consecutive years got the most points among them. Did any pull away from the pack? Did these few changes from 99 make much of a difference?

Drexl · 09-04-09, 10:59 AM

I had to lie on many of these questions in the name of sheepiness (sorry, Damfino).
