I'm not sure I understand. Slam dunking a Wolf question where you got the top answer somehow turns your score from a positive to a negative?

Nope, it's still ื1. Some people got stuck with slam dunks from their opponents, so it makes it a ื2 round for them though.

Correct. If you slam dunk a Wolf question where you had the sheepiest score, it makes it into a reverse sheep for you.

OK. I got confused because for all the other questions, you put the slam-dunked score instead of the raw score.

So if I use a slam dunk on a reverse sheep question, does my own score get the higher multiplier, or just everyone else's?

Yeah, I thought EGM would be the most popular, followed by NP.

"The obvious answers were fire and ice. But a smart player would've known that, as in Archie, the answers would be split too evenly and go towards something unique. Still, the question specifically gives the example of swamp world. Perhaps that was best."

Question: Are "water world" and "underwater world" the same thing? I say they are.

I vote yes on "water world" and "underwater world" being the same.
