WRONG:

Canada - -1 (second largest nation on Earth by area)
The One And Only Rose

snek kingdom - -1 (is an online foodstuffs retailer in Malaysia, and the one Rep claims is by definition either not real or not a micronation since he claims all of Earth, or at least Brazil)
Violet

!cn:nation - -1 (does not exist in real life)
Conflux

The Usian Republic (seems to only exist online and exists in conflict with other micronations on territorial claim), Luxembourg (sometimes considered a micronation but more commonly defined as too large), Micronesia (tiny population, huge area), and Asgardia (claims to be in space) are somewhat questionable, but I'm being generous with the definition. looneylew is going out on yet another SHEEP, but a fair number of you came up with singletons. I was surprised to find an actual "snek kingdom" exists. And now, a lot of point subtractions.

Congratulations to looneylew, the completely expected Think Pirate champion! looneylew has utterly dominated this game, shrugging off approximately as many point deductions as every other player combined over the course of these twelve rounds. Kathol's second-place finish was a narrow one, and can be attributed to several people fearing a WubWub victory from the outset. They were right to- WubWub has become a formidable player. I'm a bit surprised no one tried to get Rev, still the winningest player in the current iteration of the Think games, to lose points. Three people choosing to punish Conflux was quite amusing.

And here's why looneylew won. 11 out of 12 SHEEPs, while the median was a 5. looneylew scored all but 4 of the possible non-bonus points. We did have a negative SHEEP in there, so this isn't perfectly going to reflect the scores, even ignoring the bonuses. Next time I think we'll do the sweetheart thing again. Happy New Year, and I'll see you next month for a Think game of an undetermined type and undetermined theme.
