Whoops. Yes, that's what I mean.

If you're in the Top, the best you can hope for is that your score is not raised. Your position may rise, relative to the other Top players, but (ideally), all of the Bottom players will begin to catch up.

Venusian is screwed on the next question unless there's a book called Harry Potter and the Black Guy.

Yeah, I get what you're trying to do. Basically, my strategy was right, then.

If you think your answers are strong, you should play the Equalizer questions as Reverse Sheep.

"The above players are pretty shitty, so they need all the help they can get. This is why they got the questions scored as sheep."

Let's see how my socialist experiment worked. Last we checked, there was an 83-point spread between first and last.
