The Bus

Count Dooku, ever the Assassin, gets -15 and gives +10 to sauce07 and +5 to Palaver.

Palaver, the Republican, gives +1 to everyone below him and takes -8 for himself.

And sauce07 gets yet another -7, giving him a net loss of +3.

Groucho

Let's hope I can redeem myself in the Poetry Sectional.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Bad news

Good news

Groucho

Can we use the {sd} on a question that's already passed?!?

wishbone

And I researched the election question too... stupid Ecuador.

The Bus

No, you can't.

As for me, I'll pick the {sd} to the most popular answer (by # of respondents).

Damfino

OK, I''ve sent my extra {sd}, thanks.

Supermallet

I went for the "There are no wrong answers in Sheep questions" tactic and was outmaneuvered by people giving correct answers.

You're not going to let this whole "Borg is a species" thing rest, are you?

Personally I'm hoping to score big in the "All-England Summarize Proust" competition.

orangecrush

I was just glad I could answer South Africa.

orangecrush

That was my first choice, but it seems like they didn't get as much press as others.

sauce07

These assassins are killing me

Count Dooku

I'm happy to play the game for fun and just make a decent showing.
Now it is killing me that I will probably be winning going into the final question, and will certainly lose for sure.

I'm just a few years behind

orangecrush

I am just glad I am not at the bottom after my many meetings of the trash can. That, and the fact that I am within striking distance of The Bus.

JasonF

And I'm just glad I'm beating the Bus and orangecrush!

Th0r S1mpson

I'm deeply saddened that I missed out on this sheepness.

rabbit77

And the median (and closest to average) I am once again - I fully expect to remain entrenched in this spot.

The Bus

I don't work from home anymore so daytime updates are out of the question completely. And tonight I'm going to keep looking for the cat.

Sorry, folks.

Venusian

You didn't tie another cat to a string?

Supermallet

I think The Bus ate some apple seeds.

Venusian

Quick! Make yourself vomit!
