If I knew I was going to send an entry that bad, I wouldn't have procrastinated.

It's possible to change an answer?
I realise today how bad on of mine is.

I PM again or I go down with my guess?

Who is your hippo heir, King?

Standard sheep rules allow resubmits.

You're allowed to change answers up until deadline. It's usually easiest for the mod if you send a new PM with your revised answer list (include "resubmit" or some such in the PM title), as that's how we import them into the scorer, but most mods will fix it if you just send the one answer you wish to change.

Thinking and rethinking your sheep entries is a good way to go stark ****ing mad.

I look at some of these and come up with the most insanely bad answers, then think a minute, and come up with something much worse

Yeah I usually put the first thing I think of, then give it 10 more seconds, and if something better doesn't come to me, I let it fly. Then once I submit I don't look at it again. Just better that way.

Flee famously always waits until the very last second, and I always wonder if he's just put it all off completely or has been wavering and internally debating all the while.

Legend also is last second, but I assume he's always put it off entirely.

I don't know Flee but I think Legend actually waits intentionally to give himself the most time to come up with the "best" answers.

I've been the first one to enter several times...I believe in the "think long, think wrong" philosophy for sheep. But if there are more than a couple questions I don't have snap answers for, I put it aside and watch for the deadline. I work best under pressure

Maybe a meta-Sheep thread discussion thing here could be productive. Lots of meta-WW things.

No. The thing about sheep is you want people to be on level one. The winners might take some extra thought to figure out what level one is. But once everyone starts thinking too much, level one is no longer level one. That's why it's called sheep.

(nothing to see here
