The Sheep is a lesson as well as a joke. Also, the sheep didn't get to attack Turbo Bunny. But, if it did, yeah, it would have been like that.

The sheep vs. Turbo Bunny.

Due to NDAs, the best thing I can say at this point without violating it would be "Fluff is editionless", and most of the book is fluff. Will the Crunch be useful with SR5, I literally, legally, cannot say "Yes" or "No" or "Maybe" to. Can. Not. Say.

"Rabid Attack Lawyers have my scent"-level of cannot say, OK?

So, about those Seadogs...

Now that SR 5th Edition is out, can you now say how rules compatible it is?

[CanRay]

Check the addiction rules.

[Qemuel]

Check the addiction rules.

Heh.

So, this weekend, I got to run an Intro to the Sixth World, and play in SRM5-01.

And in homage, T3H 5H33P! was born. A human decker represented in VR by a bouncy little ram.

That is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

So, no one still has any ideas, huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Nope.

The Sheep is still a mystery... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Come on folks, you're all gamers, imagine big!

*scratches his head*

Not really good at puzzles, more of the Alexander/Gordian Knot solution sort of guy which does not help much in this one I suspect.

I am going to guess The Sheep was the cargo/prize. Maybe a biological breakthrough, an ex of Ecotope , a political prisoner to the evil farming regime or maybe just got ran over by TB while she was tripping.

But what it actually was doesn't matter, but rather what it represented.

What matters was TB lost her eye on the prize, the Simsense AR triggered her addictions, so she zoned out on the tripchip. Maybe she needed to be somewhere but wasn't or crashed the ride into The Sheep, but in any case due to being under the influence and not being focused the run was lost with the resultant fallout thereof. Her team was counting on her and she was not focusing on the task at hand, or at least not fully capable of the task.

/dev/grrl lost her eye on the prize, ironically by focusing on the sheep itself and was likewise distracted. Fastjack let her run with it to see if she could let go of the sheep and move on.

Whether it's Simsense or shiny things laying out on the street or just bizarre things happening during the run, you always keep your eye on the prize/target/goal and just let the other stuff go or bad things can happen.

You need to give us a little more to go on. The stuff from the book appears to just be a in-joke.

Exceptionally well thought out, and deduced. Wrong still, but a lot closer than most folks have gotten! Congratulations!

"Do not try and figure out the Sheep. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth."

In-Joke, yes. But the joke is from the Official and Dumpshock's forums, so thus is an appropriate question.

[nylanfs]

This isn't anything like the Trojan Sheep is it?

And wow that reference is so old I can't find a video clip of it.

"Do not try and figure out the Sheep. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth."

And this is why I hate Socratic method. What is the Sheep, but don't try to figure out the Sheep. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I suppose In Game the truth is The Sheep shouldn't matter to /dev/grrl and she should let it go.

The Sheep that can be explained is not The Sheep. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

She may want to know but she doesn't need to know. It was only relevant to TB, Eco and whoever else was involved in the run. Asking questions that don't concern you may or may not be healthy as Bull pointed out.


I guess there is a correlation in this to all of the Wireless debate in the forums. We can endlessly go round and round about how all the wireless devices works or are supposed to work, but honestly only the actual devs themselves would know and their reasons/logic for same, no matter how silly or serious it may look to us. They are abstract rules trying to shoehorn a concept into a playable system.

So we can either A) use it as is B) turn it off altogether or C) just go houserule it ourselves to be what we want it to be for our own game.

Trying to come up with all the reasons as to why it all is as it is will just lead to more circular arguing and headaches.

Don't Sweat the Small Sheep. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Frag it, now I am overthinking it and getting a headache. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[CanRay]

And Sendaz nails the question! Congratulations! You have earned the reward: Bragging Rights! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So the sheep was us all along? I swear someone said that.

Edit- Seriously though in Burn what was the joke?

[CanRay]

It was the lesson, not the fact that the Sheep is Us.

[DamHawke]

I guess we should be feeling very sheepish now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Fatum]

Boring.
Lame and boring.

[Tymeaus Jalynsfe...]

Boring.
Lame and boring.

It was just Baa-aaa-aaa-aad, is all.

[CanRay]

Seemed to entertain some folks for awhile. Myself at least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[Wakshaani]

Sadly, my not being able to attend GenCon this year meant that the sheep I was bringing with me to events is still here, instead of out there someplace.

Maybe another time.

I still don't get it. Guess I'm not wired for this sort of thing. Give me a map and compass and I can find my way anywhere, ask me about sheep and I'm lost.
