FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first



So with the hollandaise season upon us now, and that means it’s time to fight the hordes out shopping, get into a fight with your significant other about which placemats to use and listen to your drunk uncle Ted rant about foreigners at the dinner table. Fortunately it also means that it’s time for yet another installment of the Sheep Game, where you can argue with your goon friends about who is the most correct about everything!

So, what is a sheep game? Here's you answer:

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!) with the tag Sheep Game in the subject line. Format is important, so please send your answers like this:

code:
Miatas
Dead hooker smell.
The reason why I ask for the answers to be submitted without numbers (or written into the questions, holy poo poo you guys) is because with the program I use to organise this, I can just do a three-second copy/paste to create your entry. Anything else adds time and manual correction to the process.

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

You have until 11 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Thursday, December 21st) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Friday, December 22nd (2300 UTC on Friday, December 22nd), 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 3 PM Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures.

Without further ado, the questions:

  1. Considering how uniformly awful <insert brand>’s cars have been, this one bucks the trend and is totally awesome.
  2. Everyone always rips on front-wheel drive cars as being crappy to drive. This car begs to differ.
  3. If you ask me, __________ is the most under-appreciated car I can think of from any point in automotive history.
  4. If you don’t have a __________ in your dream car garage, you’re not dreaming hard enough.
  5. If I had unlimited funds, but my dream car garage could hold only one car, it would be a __________.
  6. I’ve seen a lot of people doing stupid stuff while driving their car and trying to multi-task, but the time I saw someone __________ topped all of it.
  7. These two cars from different manufacturers that don’t share any common engineering are like long-lost twins separated at birth.
  8. The overwhelming majority of goons are American. This is my favourite American car of all time.
  9. This is is the most over-the-top automotive stunt I’ve ever seen on a TV show or a movie.
  10. Electric cars are going to be a big thing in the future, whether you like it or not. What year, if any, will there be more electric cars sold than conventional gas/diesel cars?
  11. On the topic of electric cars, Tesla has been constantly in the news for the last few years, both for positive and negative reasons (see what I did there?) How many cars will they be making every year by 2022?
  12. Looking at how I drive, an electric car would need to have a range of __________ before I would be comfortable making one my daily driver.
  13. Everywhere I look, cars are all painted various boring shades of grey, and I hate it. I would paint my daily driver this colour.
  14. When arguing about performance cars, this is the most important statistic of all, if you ask me.
  15. This is the greatest engine layout, I don’t know why anyone bothers making anything else.
  16. Looking back on my every car I’ve ever owned, the most common engine layout I’ve owned was the ________.
  17. The most powerful car I’ve ever driven had this much horsepower.
  18. I really want to see a __________ in a racing game, but there’s no way anyone would ever put it in.
  19. If the apocalypse came tomorrow, this is the car I’d seek out to give the Mad Max treatment.
  20. If I’m on the road and don’t have time nor want to stop, this is the best food to eat while driving.

Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Thursday, December 21st). See you all for the reveal!
