It's an iWork issue. I have a Mac with Office, so I run games with the Sheepulator.

I had some 2nd thoughts about the racist thing and probably won't do that again.

That's why I always say putting "besides x" is better than putting "x = 0"

So with a "besides x", would you accept x.

ofc. It's sheep. If people think that x will still sheep they can put it. It won't sheep and never does sheep but they will still get a point. Once I tried to make x the sheep it didn't work. See below.

I like unannounced zeros as long as the mod makes a record of them before receiving entries. Though it becomes "Arbitrary Sheep". Pwns, run an arbitrary peehs. That's a classic game.

Well it's up there anyway. I heard there was an atrocious War grouping today. The World Court in The Hague will have its say.

I'm not really that sure Paris always sheeps European city, but maybe it does. London seems like a pretty good answer too.

What's remarkable is the way Egypt and South Africa always manage to tie for African country.

It should be noted that alphabet sheep is the Cadillac of sheep variants. We haven't had a true alphabet sheep in forever. They're a lot of work, both to write and to run.

Individuals answers shouldn't be discussed in this thread.

Alphabet sheep take forever to enter. Good riddance.

Well, sheep theory can't be discussed without discussing memes. I'll allow some limited discussion of specific memes.

Alphabet sheep is the best. Worth the extra time. What I hate are regular sheeps that are too long just to be long.

Important to note that many memes really do change over time.

Weird to think I started this as a semi-parody of the numerous WW theory threads.

London always beats Paris for European city. The only time Paris wins is if there's something in the question which is more true for Paris than London.

This seems shadier to me than what I did with racist. Even with explicit zeros, you could blithely said "ofc, it's sheep" and count it.

edit: besides implies zero
