ALFbrot posted:Time to place squarely in the 15th percentile again with my patented mix of Pirates homer answers and jokes that aren't as good as everyone else's Well, when I said this I actually meant 85th percentile, I did it backwards like a bozo I ended up 66/81, so I was in the 81st percentile. I WILDLY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR. seiferguy posted:That reminds me - I've been brainstorming ideas for another general sports sheep - any interest out there for it? A general-sports sheep game could be fun, but many of us would phone in answers about other sports, and posters not so much into baseball (and even some that are but don't read all the threads) would be like "why did this guy put Seth McClung for every answer, also I like ketchup" ALFbrot fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Feb 26, 2015 |

seiferguy posted:That reminds me - I've been brainstorming ideas for another general sports sheep - any interest out there for it? That would be fun! I don't think I got to participate in the last one (I was super busy last year). Baseball sheep is kind of sort of running out of good questions - or at least they're becoming more and more of a stretch. So I'll probably hold off on doing any more rounds until maybe the end of the season, if inspiration strikes, or have a special themed one sometime in the late summer (e.g. "Classic Sheep" or "Golden Age Sheep" or something - there would probably be fewer entries but it might be a fun change of pace). I was thinking about running some other stuff during the course of the season if there is interest. Illinois Smith has a "who are your favorite NBA players" poll thing going on that I would like to copy once the season gets going (I have not informed him of this). I could do a graduated/daily reveal and people could talk about the players that get named if they feel so inclined. If anyone else has other ideas for games/fun forums things, please let me know - I'd be happy to run them if you don't want to invest the time.

The fact that two different posters named semen as the second best condiment is why I love these forums.

Seth McClung has taken over pitch framing as my favorite gimmick answer. Thanks for this, Xenophon.

ALFbrot posted:I actually think one of the reasons this works so well is that so many of us are deeply passionate about baseball, and we all know the deep-cut jokes. I did a general sports sheep back in 2013 and it turned out to be pretty well, I thought: http://archives.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3568220 the second one suffered a bit because I ran out of inspiration but I think I have a few good ideas for questions now.

I tried a sports media sheep game that kinda bombed, if I ran it again I'd narrowcast the questions more and probably just make it ESPN-centric. If someone could do better more power to them.

R.D. Mangles posted:brothers I would just like to clarify that I put fans. I have no particular qualm with the existence of the St. Louis Cardinals, as they are a historic franchise that has just had the misfortune of existing on or around the greater St. Louis area. C. Everett Koop posted:I tried a sports media sheep game that kinda bombed, if I ran it again I'd narrowcast the questions more and probably just make it ESPN-centric. If someone could do better more power to them. I don't think enough people even watch ESPN here any more to make that any better. I like the concept, but I think it's already niche enough.

I think I got enough questions to do a general sports sheep. I'll do it mid-March after this quarter ends. Look forward to it.
