That and sometime you have to take fish out of the water for cleaning and any repairs. It's done through that room. I mean. Theres a small door to it, but it requires a key. So I prefer getting in the way I told you.

Nadia:I dont do the cleaning and repairs myself. I dont have the required skills. But I definitely spend some time there. There however is one place that I can be spotted when going to that hidden place. In the main hall there are a few places where the aquarium is seen.

Nadia proceeds downstairs to the hall. She proceeds to point at a small part of the ceiling made out of glass.
Right after this part there's the maintenance room.

We see a nice big SHEEP here, but I honestly thought it would be bigger. Quite a few of you picked some of the smallest qualifying metro areas, while some rather large ones, like Valencia, were completely forgotten. Two wrong answers, but at least they both make sense. Well, let's see how this ends.

Final standings:

1st: Norwany (127)
2nd: Isi (124)
3rd: Allen (123)
4th: Airengard (119)

Congratulations to Norwany, our Think Same champion! Please contact me on Discord to discuss your prize options. Rounding out the top 5 we have Isi, resident moth enthusiast, who missed out by a mere three points; Allen, who I have not seen do anything except play Think games; Airengard, whose strong finish will surely be greeted with many a "woo"; and Ctesiphonis, who won the August Revolution edition of this game which was played on the forums only. Thank you to everyone for playing! We'll be back in a few days with sign-ups for a large, Halloween-themed Think Same which will be concurrently run on the Pacific and East Pacific RMBs as well as the NPO's forum, so think spooky! This one will have a twist in the gameplay. Anyway, let's get to category prizes.

Team Scores:

Guinea Pigs: 458 points total, 91.6 average
Koreaboos: 380 points total, 95 average
Lebatuckese: 380 points total, 95 average
Shield Gang: 379 points total, 63.2 average
Salt: 341 points total, 85.3 average
House Elegarth: 324 points total, 108 average

Congratulations to the Guinea Pigs, who easily outclassed all the others on total points, despite placing fourth for average. House Elegarth ran away with the average, while the largest team, Shield Gang, had a very low per-player score. The Koreaboos and Lebatuckese managed to get a perfect tie for second in both total and average. Salt placed fifth in both categories.

Top Scorer By Team:

Lebatuckese: Norwany, overall winner
Salt: Isi, 2nd place
House Elegarth: Airengard, 4th place
Koreaboos: End666, 6th place
Guinea Pigs: NobodyExpects, 7th place
Shield Gang: DrWinner, 8th place

The missing scores here are Allen in 3rd, from the Lebatuckese, and Ctesiphonis in 5th, for House Elegarth. Otherwise, this is a much better distribution than last time, when one of the teams couldn't even crack the top 10.

SHEEPs By Player:

1st: Norwany (8)
1st: Isi (8)
1st: Allen (8)
1st: Airengard (8)
1st: Ctesiphonis (8)

6th: End666 (7)
6th: Japanese Soultakers (7)
6th: Peken (7)
9th: NobodyExpects (6)
9th: DrWinner (6)
9th: Tiberius (6)
9th: Altmoras (6)
13th: Glealian (5)
13th: Temporarrium (5)
13th: Senyor Puloy (5)
13th: Massive Panic (5)
13th: Al Mutwakkil (5)
13th: Fleeta (5)
13th: Youttle (5)
20th: Ashwyesum (4)
20th: Waterfall State (4)
22nd: Jar Wattinree (3)
22nd: Purrrr (3)
24th: Neuer Deutsches Reich (2)
25th: Unijapi (1)
25th: East Aluetia (1)

The entire top five from the normal standings tie for most SHEEPs with 8/12. Congratulations to Norwany, Isi, Allen, Airengard, and Ctesiphonis! Everyone got at least one SHEEP, although Unijapi managed to avoid it until the last round. Now let's take a look at team standings.

SHEEPs By Team:

Guinea Pigs: 28 SHEEPs, 5.6 average.
Koreaboos: 26 SHEEPs, 6.5 average.
Shield Gang: 22 SHEEPs, 3.67 average.
House Elegarth: 21 SHEEPs, 7 average.
Salt: 21 SHEEPs, 5.25 average.
Lebatuckese: 20 SHEEPs, 5 average.

Well, this is pretty good proof that SHEEPs aren't everything. The Lebatuckese, who played very strongly overall, came in fifth in this category. The Guinea Pigs dominate this one on numbers, though with a more respectable average than in overall. House Elegarth once again ran away with the average, but the Koreaboos also posted a strong showing- they're in second in all possible group categories with this one. Well done! Salt demonstrates it's better at getting SHEEPs than getting points, while Shield Gang narrowly beats three teams largely on the strength of having twice as many players as House Elegarth, which makes up for getting about half as many SHEEPs on average.

That's all, folks! See you on Friday for the next one of these!

Congratulations to Think Same Champion Norwany! For anyone who wants to play Think Same and didn't get an opportunity, or wants a better shot now that you know how this works, the next round starts Friday.

All the rounds can be seen here:

Welcome to Think Same! This will be five concurrent games, all of which are played with one set of answers. They will be:

1. Highest scoring player
2. Highest scoring team (total of players' scores)
3. Highest score within each team (i.e. how you would do if your score was only compared to those of your team)
4. Most SHEEPy player (we'll get to that later, but it means highest number of SHEEP answers)
5. Most SHEEPy team (total SHEEP answers)

So, how does one play Think Same? At the bottom of this post will be a link to a Google form, which you will fill out according to an hono(u)r system. The goal is to answer the same way as your comrades, and particularly those in your team. You will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each question- provided the answer is correct. The most popular answer is called the SHEEP. Now, suppose you give an incorrect answer. You then receive negative points equivalent to the number of people who answered that wrong answer. So, let's say six people are asked to name something that normally lives in the ocean. Three people say "Shark"; that is the SHEEP answer and they receive 3 points each. One person each respond with "kelp" and "squid" and receive one point each. One person responds with "Werewolf" and receives -1 points for giving a wrong answer. Each question works the same way.

The honor code: By playing Think Same, you agree to not disclose your answers to any player save the organizer (Marinas Island) between the posting of this form and the closing of responses. You agree to bring any issues to the attention of the organizer as soon as you find them and not to challenge the outcome if you do not do so. If you wish to dispute the ruling of an answer as correct/incorrect, you agree to bring it up with the organizer via forum PM or in this thread. If you want clarification on any question or to modify an existing answer, you agree to bring it to the attention of the organizer via forum PM.

The game will begin in one week (7 days) or once 15 people have completed the form, whichever takes longer. The game can be found here:
