It happens occasionally, even back in 2009 when I started here. I guess it was randomness being extra random to you today.

the sheep are forming a forged union against you, soon enough they will surround you and attack.

First of all, read the forum rules. You need to watch your language on here or the mods will ban you.

Second, calm down if you want anyone to help you. We're more than happy to answer questions or provide advice, but if you keep talking like that, we'll ignore you until you get banned.

Third, I'm sorry about your luck. I've never heard of it happening that much, but it's definitely not new. I've been shearing sheep here for years and I can promise you it's been around for awhile. Also, it's era accurate, so it's not going anywhere.

I understand that it's obnoxious. Might I offer a suggestion? Set a "last target" hotkey in Razor, and you can just run back up to the sheep that get away, and it'll get them.

If you need help with that, please feel free to pm me on IRC.

I hope your luck improves. :-)

I've been sheep farming here for three years and that message has been around the whole time. It doesn't happen much, but it definitely happens.

Of course I'm just someone else with loads of experience of this rather than any kind of reliable source :?

I think it happens more often when you are not very close to the sheep

Pretty sure it is a random small chance probably put in since the original by naughty programmers.
