I feel like this version didn't work out quite as well as the previous versions but I did really enjoy the thousand-car-pileup-esque nature of a few of the questions.
Well, looking at the point totals, I floated the idea on IRC yesterday of REVERSE HIPSTER SHEEP. Which sounds like too many adjectives BUT THE BASE OF IT IS, just, what this round was but Reverse Sheep. By that I mean, the goal would be to get the least amount of points, and the Sheep Answer awards you 0 points. It makes each individual question have a strong strategic element to it, as getting the Sheep Answer is the strongest play, but if you miss you might end up with points. I will probably have to use some deterrent for the "15 Aces" strategy (Not that I don't want to allow cool strategies, but simply to make the game playable). Forcing "Validity" seems like the easy choice, but I'm more partial to having an Ace limit, where you get penalty points for each Ace past your limit (If the limit was 10, you'd get penalty points for Aces 11-15). Not 100% how I'd do it, really, but its a fun concept. If I do run a round of this, I'm gonna do something special with it to make up for having a possibly shit round.
