This has been the 3.75th time that I've played the Sheep game, but the first time that I properly interacted with the other participants. Some I have gotten to know you well, others are still acquaintances, while others I still don't know at all. Which is completely okay, for there's always a next time. :)
Moreover, I suppose, that's the beauty of these games. The friendships we develop with people, happens gradually and over time. We bond over different topics, laugh at various stupid jokes, reminisce the olden days, and look forward to all the new.
Zeal & WD:
When I first signed up for the game, I did it on the sole basis of it being a sheep game. I was the least interested in the casino aspect because I know I don't have a poker face at all. 
Then Round Zero happened, and I honestly happened to be present at the Roulette Live Call by fluke. I quoted, and posted, not really expecting to get in, but I suppose tabhi se mujhe lat lag gayi. 
It's no secret that there were a lot of changes that took place in regards to the bets. However, given the fact that this was the first time this was attempted, I will say you did a mighty fine job Zeal. It was entertaining, it was fun, and if you ever host another casino tournament, I will be there. Whether I actually win something is besides the point. 
You both have been extremely patient despite everything that happened, and have continuously tried to make the game as entertaining as possible.
For that, I can't thank you enough. 
It was rocky, it was tough.
It tested a lot of people's patience, and raised a lot of blood pressure.
But despite it all, there were lots of laughter shared in between. Very old memories were refreshed (seriously, nostalgia ka pura overdose hogaya tha
), and a lot of new ones were made.
Truly, thank you both so much for being one of the best Shepherds out there.

Tum sab ko toh mein kya hi kahun.
Tareef karungi toh sar par le lo ge. Agar na ki toh halla macha lo ge. Aise yaar mile hai mujhe, aur bas aise hi milte rahe. 
We all were officially grouped into one team on July 29th - a mere two months ago! Can you believe it? 
I was going through the initial sign up thread yesterday, and it was absolutely heart warming to see how despite being strangers, we all were still so incredibly supportive of one another. The sheer confidence of winning was unparalleled, and the kind of optimism that we had? No one could even come close it. 
Whether it was crying over the nostalgic rounds, freaking out over all the research that had to be done for the Wiki Round, or laughing over how we lost all our chips - it has all been super memorable.
Intermixed with all of the playing, are undoubtedly the constant teasing of one another, supporting when the other is down, or giving the other a safe space in which they can vent and rant.
It's been two months and counting, but these COVID days have genuinely been made more bearable because of each and every single one of you.
So thank you for being the awesometacular peeps that you are, continue being badasses. Jahan bhi jao, phatte chak do, aur naam roshan karo. 
Special mentions:
Shibu
I honestly didn't know that you were going to be giving out an award. But when it was announced by WD, and in the few spare minutes that I had, I had said that me winning the award would be made all the more special because it was coming from you - a fellow Hufflepuff. Aur wohi hua.
So thank you so much for it!

MAAHHIIIIIIIIIIIIII 
I WON!!!!!! 
Sach kahun toh, I knew for sure I wasn't going to win the Fastest wala because that had Tani's name all over it.
Carefree Chipster keh liye pata ni, phir bhi thoda sa doubt tha. 
But you had faith, and prayed, aur mere liye tum ne toh ek pura hafta cheeni bhi qurbaan kar di. 
Aur dekh kya rang layi. Mein jeet gayi! 
I know we shouted about this a lot already, but phir bhi woh winning wali feeling khatam ni hori. 
Ab toh party mode chalta rahega. 
No one can bring me down, and if they try, I only have one thing to say:

And with that, I bid you all, a good day.
