I love these little mysteries. On the countryside path I walk, the sheep are painted different colours. Pink for valentines, but I've seen red, blue, green etc. Why do they paint the sheep? Nobody knows.

We do know, it's to catch sheep thieves.

Nah the farmer just started doing it for the lulz I think, then started painting them different colours to support certain charities. Scots are easily amused.

They're also easily agitated

They do that in Ireland as well. Saw a bunch when we visited a few years back. The reason we were given is that it is so that the farmers can differentiate the sheep if they wander off and get mixed with another flock. They just sort of hang out wherever there, sometimes wandering around next to the road, so it makes sense. We definitely saw neighboring farms all having different colors.

Wouldn't surprise me if it started off as a thing for fun and caught on as something useful.

Goodness now I have the biggest hankering to play a God Game.

CURSE the stupid modern gaming era and the fact that they just about completely died off.

Uhm, Ye Gods?  *points at forums*

I almost recommended Populous The Beginning, but it really isn't actually a god-game is it?  The player has some god-themed powers, and it bears some apparently similarity to Populous, but it's really more a mix of RTS with Magic Carpet style gameplay. 

I enjoyed it a *lot* more than the old Populous games, but the villagers just have practically no meaningful autonomy.  I'm not sure if they even build new houses on their own.  If they do it's too slow.

Dungeon Keeper might be more of a god-game than PtB, I guess?  And Black & White was definitely one?  Kinda curious.

Populis felt more like an RTS with powerful magic than a god game to me TBH. Black and white 1 and 2 are probably the best god games out there TBH.

Yeah I know the ones you mean, usually they just have a 'blob' of red or green on them though. These ones are fully recoloured.

Could be a parasite instead.

They must be hybridized with Minecraft sheep then.

I should make an ISO of Black and White's original CD. It's pushing on 15 years

Hey, that could actually be interesting if done properly.

Gods know it'd be better than another pile of shit about NINO being sooper kool in a random setting.

Still got to wait over two weeks before date T_T

I hadn't thought that could ever feel like such a long time.
