I don't think we've ever done a sheep game in here before, but the rules are pretty simple: Fill out this survey with who you think BSS as a whole thinks is the answer. You get one point for everyone who answers the same as you, including yourself. E.g. if you and 28 other people pick Theodore Roosevelt for best president, you all get 29 points. Most points at the end wins. There's a handful of questions that specify 2017, but the ones that do not are open to the entirety of comics history, so keep that in mind as you fill it out. You don't have to fill anything out, but you'll be losing out on a point if you leave anything blank. I will give the winner a forums upgrade of their choice. Feel free to discuss your answers here, but beware that if you fill out your survey and start talking about it, it might give someone else a leg up. I will be closing responses sometime on January 7 (basically whenever I get around to it), so you have until then to fill out your answers! Let me know if something's not working for whatever reason and I'll fix it.

I couldn't think of any new artists in 2017 so I had to leave that one blank.

I entered, and I look forward to finding out how wrong I was! I kind of gave up on tryign to divine BSS' whims and just went with my gut for half of them. Also I misunderstood the tiebreaker I think. Oh well!

Oh damnit, I hosed that one up. I thought the first entry was supposed to be BSS's best webcomics poster instead of my own name.

Worst Comic Book Movie Adaptation and Worst Webcomics probably won't get a single match, unless everyone decided to focus only on the recent ones(Webcomics still wouldn't get a match)

Comically, even the tiebreaker has a match, so hopefully those people don't need a tie broken. Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Covok posted:I meant to say Greg Pak, not Greg Land. Well, it wouldn't have helped you anyway, since we have a winner and it's Doctor Spaceman scoring 116 of 132 possible points! Let me know what forums upgrade you want. If you've got everything, we can figure something else out. In second place is Big Bad Voodoo Lou with 107 points, and in third by tiebreaker is Yvonmukluk with 99 points! The rest of the scores are as follows: Roth - 48 Achillesforever6 - 93 Alhazred - 36 Bravest of the Lamps - 72 Bagrada - 84 peepee - 82 Covok - 72 Samuringa - 99 Lightning Lord - 91 Jordan Kai - 93

It's not really my favorite, I genuinely thought Spider-Man 2 still had some clout, 90% of my picks were wild guesses to what this board consensus could possibly be and the rest I phoned in.

I'll take it, though! 3rd is right after 2nd & 1st! Also drat, how'd I forget Red Hood exists? I just went for Hal & Barry. Also what up fellow Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 liker, whoever you are!

I had a good feeling I had this for sure, knowing the tastes of BSS. But congratulations to Doctor Spaceman! I guess I let my hate for the Joker as a character blind me. Have you ever met any hardcore Joker fans who think he's a misunderstood rebellious rogue, who cheer for his murder sprees and root for his abusive relationship with Harley because "they're made for each other"? Some of the creepiest weirdos I've ever met.
