    Welcome to the reveal thread for Evil Emu!!! (The game is actually just called Emu but I added the Evil for dramatic effect!)

    Some of you may be wondering "what is an emu?" Nothing could be simpler. It is exactly like a sheep. Except for when it isn't.

    I will give you four questions and you PM me four responses. You score a point for every person who gives the same response as you. The winner is the player with the most points over the four questions.

    One catch, though. If you give the most popular response for all four questions, your total score is reduced to zero (0), and you will be ridiculed by all and sundry. Well, maybe not ridiculed :)

    Entries are closed with reveal starting at 10pm-ish!

    Research was allowed.

    These were your questions

    1. An African country that starts with the letter E.
    2. An Irish number 1 song by Westlife
    3. A musical instrument
    4. A forum games moderator

    And these are your players! (hopefully I havent missed someone)
