FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first



So, what is a sheep game? Here's you answer (shamelessly stolen from forums user Xenophon):

What the gently caress is a sheep

The game is not complicated.

1. There will be a list of questions at the bottom of this post. The object of the game is to provide the MOST COMMON response from the people playing the game, kind of like Family Feud. You receive one point for each person who provided the same answer. In other words, if the question was "What is best in life," and 10 players said "To crush your enemies," each of those players would receive 10 points. If 5 players said "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist," they would each receive 5 points. If 1 player said "Hello Kitty," he would receive 1 points (and the public condemnation of his peers).

2. Every question scores points, even if only one. The player with the MOST points, after all the questions are added up, wins the game.

3. There are no right or wrong answers - your job is to provide the MOST COMMON answer. So even if you really, really think that "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist" is best in life, it might still be in your best interest to answer "To crush your enemies." This means that even a factually incorrect answer can score the most points! You have to decide what you think everyone else will say.

4. Some of the questions are vague - intentionally so! It's your job to interpret them as you think the majority of AI will.

Send your answers along with your SA Username (seriously) to AIsheepgame@gmail.com (seriously, make sure your username is in there somewhere!) Format is important, so please send your answers like this:

Dead hooker smell.
Once you have sent your entry, please post in this thread as confirmation.

You have until 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, April 18th (0600 UTC on Sunday, April 19th) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread at 3pm Pacific Time on Monday, April 20th (2200 UTC on Monday, April 20th), so set your calendars/alarm clocks/crude sundials made from old Jeep parts for the big day! I will be doing the reveal two questions per day with each reveal being posted at or about 3pm Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures.

Without further ado, the questions:

1. When I'm out for a drive, __________ is on the stereo because it's the best music for driving.
2. On that note, this is the best driving song ever made.
3. Road trips and __________; you can't have one without the other.
4. Without a doubt, this is the best car/truck/whatever for a road trip.
5. Conversely, I can't think of a car/truck/whatever more inappropriate for a road trip than this one.
6. All road trips are memorable in some way, but I think a trip to __________ would be most memorable of all.
7. I think a road trip down this road would make the journey more memorable than the destination.
8. This is the best piece of advice I can give to anyone going on a road trip.
9. I can't think of anyone else I would rather go on a road trip with than this person.
10. Spring and summer mean holidays are close at hand for some of us. This AI-related book is on my beach reading list this year.
11. Oh great...summer holidays means we're going to see more drivers from __________. Better stay off the roads.
12. How much time would you set aside for your spring car detailing to say, "yes, this is enough time to do the job right"?
13. There's nothing in my detailing kit that I value more than __________.
14. What do you mean, you didn't clean the __________?! How can you say you detailed your car?
15. Of all the things you can get on your paint, this stuff is the biggest pain in the dick to clean off.
16. This past winter was a rough one for a lot of us, but it was harder on my car's __________ than anything else.
17. No doubt many of us have plans to do some maintenance on our cars this spring/summer...I plan to repair/replace/upgrade this component, for example.
18. Now that Top Gear UK is gone, I'm going to get my automotive TV fix by watching __________.

Where it is appropriate, I will group answers together in an entirely cruel and arbitrary way. Until the submission deadline, discussing your answers in this thread is not allowed, as it will affect how other people will vote!

Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, April 18th (0600 UTC on Sunday, April 19th). See you all for the reveal!

Well, since my last post I've received only one more entry, from bolind, bringing the total to 14.

If you've never played a Sheep game before and you're on the fence about this, the previous three games are listed in the OP if you want to see what it's all about.

Just emailed you the correct answers, you can use it as an answer key against the others if you'd like :v:

edit: My cars are too old and rusty for detailing and I'm only fixing what broke over the winter, so those answers might not necessarily be correct. Pretend they're correct anyway, though.
