Coded in C# - Not by me lol. It was coded by someone over on the 2+2 forums where I used to play sheep and werewolf originally
The scorer is linked somewhere on forum games or it was but I can get the link again if it has gone walkies
Cool! I'd love to see it if you could get the link, I was trying to make a library in C# tonight

Whenever you like, the sheepulator is in the first post of the upcoming new games thread. Get your topic, start playing around so you can see what it does and wham!

As above, if you check the OP of the upcoming games thread stickied in the main forum, the link to it is there.
Or just go back a page where Neowise posted it in this thread
Thanks for running Rikand, great game! Well done to the podium placers 0 -

Is that the first one of those that's been played?Well done Nitwit.
Thanks for running, Rikand. Possibly the most annoying and infuriating version of SHEEP I’ve played. Loved it.
Because an awful lot of you seemed to cop on a lot quicker to the pitfalls and traps of it than I did
I had to basically be hit in the face with them before I realised.
Torture trying to put the list together first, and then torture trying to keep up and understand the nuances of the reval - genius!
When's the next one?? 0 -

SHEEP - pick the most popular answer to score most points. Highest total points wins.
HEEPS - pick the second most popular answer to score most points. Most popular answer scores zero. highest total points wins.
PEEHS - pick the least popular/most obscure answer to score. Lowest total points wins.0 -

Actually, PEEHS is SHEEP backwards and it's quite similar to the TV Show Pointless if you're familiar with that. It's very straightforward.
HEEPS is a headf*ck where you're trying to get the second most popular answer because those who SHEEP in HEEPS get 0 points. :rolleyes:

EPSHE - pick the second least popular answer to score. Most obscure answer scores a multiple of the SHEEP answer. Lowest total points wins. Same rules about incorrect answers.
What do you think?
wouldn't that be EEHSP0 -

There was some talk of "strategies" used for this. How did people go about putting together their answers?
Given I finished in the bottom, my "strategy" of random allocation of first thing to come to mind is not recommended! I didn't answer in any order or sequence - I think I tried to answer the Irish questions first though.
As for the Chewie rule - it took me a while for the implication of that to dawn on me 0 -

Not sure if this helps but it is what I tried:
Brainstormed a few likely popular answers for each category and jot them down.
From that I picked things I thought were too obvious not to have (Katy Taylor, river Shannon, Dublin city), locked in categories that had good use of less common letter (Ulster), or where there were minimal common choices I could think of (Iguana for lizard).
After that it was just about trying to use all the letters in ways that were moderately common IMO, so I ticked off Venus and a few others, until the choices started to rule themselves out.
After that I started playing swapsie with the ones I wasn't happy with, Obadiah remains
Chewbaccas only occurred to me when Rikand mentioned it in the reveal thread. I fear next time I will over think them entirely 0 -

I looked up the value of Scrabble letter tiles, and started by finding answers for the highest-scoring letters first, my theory being they would be the hardest to think of
Then I moved on to vowels, since they'd usually be in the middle of a word, I thought finding good answers starting with those letters might be the best next step
I tried to answer the questions that had fewer potential answers (like the provinces, teeth and planets) as early as possible, because they'd be harder to correct later on
After that, most of the answers just slotted in to place with the easier letters, and all that was needed were a few re-jigs 0 -
