I definitely favoured them when possible, figured most people would

Not our sheep mind.

Thank for the fun game Necro.

Keep that spoon warm for me Sinead, I'm sure i'll be collecting it back soon.

Joint 20th..sigh..I actually won the first one of these I entered about two years and am beginning to think you were all just being nice to the new guy. Not even close since.

Ah of course the Xingu river, how could I forget. spent many a summer there :pac:

davetherave · 29-01-2021 10:20pm

Not a good outing. That'll teach me to leave it to the last minute.

Nearly went with the Avon in Bristol before I remember that the Amazon was a river. Missed the Danube (because the first D river that you think of is the Dodder :rolleyes:, aced against the Ganges, Hudson, aced against the Jordan, aced against the Kwai, stuck with the great lakes and went with Lake Michigan instead of the Mississippi, the Rhine, Windemere (never heard of it).

Great reveal Necro. Well played Zaph

Got sick of being viewed as the villain because he's better than the rest of us at Sheep, so is allowing some other people a chance to win a few, obviously...

I did the same thing with Walruses... Let some plebs win for awhile, and lie in wait until it's time to strike and go on another winning streak...

Zaph · 29-01-2021 10:27pm

Thanks everyone, and thanks to Necro for another great game and reveal. And congrats to ShaneU and BuileBeag, very happy to be sharing the podium with you guys. Commiserations to wrestlemaniac, massively unlucky right at the end.
