Pancakes posted:We're at 25 total entries so far and still have one SCOTUS Justice who hasn't been picked by anyone, either in a Shoot the Moon entry or otherwise. We also have had a famous concurrence submitted as both an opinion and a dissent by different contestants. It's still too early to know for certain who'll win, but there are 4-5 questions that are very clearly going to decide who's in the top bracket of points. My answers were boring as poo poo and in a normal sheep game I'd have a shot but dealing with cspam means I'll be shocked if any answer has 2+ responses

Anyway, about popes! When you talk about the early ones it's hard to separate reality from rumor-mongering and propaganda. Please consider Pope John XXII, who had a relatively short reign of less than five years but still accomplished a lot!

"Um... the one supposedly picked by the loving son of god, duh?" Also, if nobody else picked the same Trump child I picked, I will be SORELY DISAPPOINTED IN ALL OF YOU, CSPAM.

We're at 28 entries with a little more than a day to go. I'm trying to get the scoring easier to track so that I'm not tallying everything all at once after we're done. I've never run a Sheep Game before, so it's a learning process. I did a quick tally, though I stopped in the middle to sing along to the "Gaston Song" when it came on TV, so my scoring may be off a little. Some fun facts and stats: Every single question had at least one answer that produced points. We still don't have every SCOTUS Justice listed. The questions that have produced the fewest points are Questions 8 & 15, comic book characters and dogs. Each has only produced 5 points total across all entries. The best possible score right now would be 94, if one single entry had picked the most popular answer for each question. Current highest scores: 75, 69, 68, 65. Current lowest scores: 3, 4, 4, 4.

It shouldn't have an impact on the overall standings, just add 15 to everyone's score if you don't like how I'm totaling everything.

33 entries and Serfer has, if nothing else, the ballsiest entry. Note to the thread: Just submitting "Ed Balls" as your answer for every question disqualifies you from Shooting the Moon. It does not, however result in 0 points. Other legitimate entries have named Ed Balls for various responses.

Mao Zedong Thot posted:jesus can i change my answer for best trump tweet? I mean, it makes literally zero difference in the scoring. There's been very little crossover in the Tweet answers. I'm currently adding in the last 5 entries to date by hand and re-scoring everything. I'm going to double-check my math before finalizing everything but I just want to say that people with legitimately strong entries at the last minute make manually rescoring everything a pain. I'm looking at you, Saladin Rising, Shear Modulus and Reality Loser. I don't think you're going to overtake the current leader but you've got enough overlap with the current leaders that you're making it come down to the wire.  As a note, it only took 29 entries before we finally had our last SCOTUS Justice covered. Thank you, Selious! You would have had a legitimate shot at Shooting the Moon if you hadn't picked the most popular Trump child.  E: Current leaders are now at 93, 81 & 80. Current Shoot the Moon leaders are at 3, 4, 5 & 5. The winner's pretty much determined now, it'd take too many ballots with very specific answers to help numbers 2 or 3 catch the leader. One or two entries within the next two hours could absolutely determine the Shoot the Moon winner, though. Pancakes has issued a correction as of 04:50 on Jan 23, 2018 |

I was typing up the results and then I got 2 entries in the last 5 minutes, including one submitted at 11:59 PM. Cutting it close, folks. That being said,  we've got some results!There were 35 entries. The winner, with a grand total of 103 points, is The Agronox. Coming up just shy with a literal last-minute 11:59 PM entry was The Iron Llama with 97 points. After that were PostNouveau with 87 and Grizzled Patriarch with 86. The Agronox's answers were, in order: 1. FDR 2. Norway 3. RBG 4. Brown v. Board 5. Scalia in Lawrence v. Texas 6. John XXIII 7. California 8. Trump is a comic book character 9. Tiffany 10. "I'll still drink that garbage" 11. Dale Gribble 12. Jackie Robinson 13. The Phantom Menace 14. Duterte 15. A German shepherd The most popular entries for each question were: 1. FDR 2. Canada 3. RBG 4. Brown v. Board 5. Scalia in Obergefell 6. Pope Francis 7. California 8. Trump 9. Tiffany 10. 2-way tie between "I'll still drink that garbage" and the infamous "Haters and losers" Tweet 11. Cotton Hill 12. Jackie Robinson 13. The Phantom Menace 14. Duterte 15. It would never happen The lowest qualifying entry belongs to Crazycryodude with 3 points. Just missing was redneck nazgul with 4. They gave one another a point apiece as the only contestants to choose Justice Stephen Breyer. Crazycryodude received 2 points by choosing Eric Trump, while redneck nazgul got 3 points from choosing Ivanka. My favorite entries for each question, usually by virtue of being unique or offensive: 1. Jefferson Davis, from Meatbag Esq. 2. The Holy See from Panic! at Nabisco 3. Scalia's Zombie Corpse from El Mero Mero 4. A tie between mao zedong thot and Mayor Dave for Plessy v. Ferguson and Meatbag Esq, tubamortis and True Blue Triumph for Dred Scott v. Sanford, you awful, awful people. 5. Reality Loser for picking RBG's dissent in Shelby County, mostly because they made sure to point out that RBG was right (and because it was just "VRA dissent" in the email and I knew that meant Shelby County by memory). 6.Formosus, because I'd never heard of the Cadaver Synod until this thread. Several people had this entry. Runner up was Hoot the Owl with Jude Law. 7. Rhode Island from tubamortis because they referred to it as "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" and I went to school in Providence. 8. Todd from Achewood, from Mayor Dave 9. r/The Donald from Hoot the Owl. Sundae submitted "the aborted one we never heard about" and Meatbag Esq. submitted "the ones swallowed by Melania", which I treated as close enough to equal. Still, r/The Donald was an inspired interpretation of "Trump's children". 10. The one about Barney Frank's nipples from Comrayn and Shear Modulus, mostly because I abbreviated it in my spreadsheet as "Barney's nips" 11. Jimmy Wichard by Saladin Rising, because that's an obscure and inspired choice 12. Moses Walker from El Mero Mero and The Iron Llama, because absent anyone picking Curt Flood this was a pretty good choice. 13. No one had any particularly impressive entries here. I briefly thought about spitefully counting "Clone Wars" as "Attack of the Clones" but it wouldn't have made a major difference in the results. 14. Hoot the Owl's entry of "Trump". Several people said it would be Trump inviting himself, but Hoot the Owl specifically said it would be because of dementia. 15. The actual dog who played Lassie, from C. Everett Koop. Other good entries included "Sloppy Steve, who's like a dog" and "Mooch in a Sonic the Hedgehog Fursuit". Some fun facts: The last Justice to be named was Kennedy. Potter Stewart's concurrence in Jacobellis v. Ohio was submitted as both an opinion and a dissent. Crazycryodude was actually the first submission in the game and always had the lowest score during the course of the game. The random number generator winner is: BrownieMinusEye, with a random.org result of 2 (of 35), as the 2nd person who submitted an entry. For a second I thought Crazycryodude had won a second hat until i remembered that the first row was had headings, so I had to look down one. My arbitrary choice for the last hat is: Hoot the Owl, because that was my favorite overall entry and they had some fun in the thread. Again, congratulations to all the winners and thanks everyone for playing! Winners, please either PM or email me where you want me to ship your hats. I've got work and two doctor's appointments tomorrow, but if anyone wants further information about the results or the final standings please let me know and I'll try to post more. I'll plan on shipping out the hats to everyone shortly, probably on Saturday.

aw man i got my hopes up after you said i had a strong entry. how far off was i? "ill still drink that garbage" is my actual all-time favorite trump tweet but i thought nipples protruding would have been c-spam's favorite. guess i misread the room jackie robinson was my first instinct for mlb player trump would hate but i went with barry bonds since he's arguably the GOAT and his having played in the steroid era apparently gives the modern racist baseball fan free reign to hate him Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 09:38 on Jan 23, 2018 |
