 So with the hollandaise season upon us now, and that means it’s time to 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:Once you have sent your entry, please post in this thread as confirmation. You have until 11 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Monday, December 21st) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Tuesday, December 22nd (2300 UTC on Tuesday, 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:
Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Monday, December 21st). See you all for the reveal!

I am in as gently caress, will compete seriously as gently caress, and, like both times before, will start out strong and then flame out and end in mid-pack mediocrity.

Submitted. Can I request a second scoring in Vickrey Auction style where the second most common answer is what gets the most points and most common gets zero? Avoiding the absolute braindead answer (*coughMiatacough*) sounds a smidge more fun.

The real game is figuring out what CI is gonna answer so you can force him to sheep. Please remind me to submit answers last minute like I do every year.

A bit of a slow week, I have now heard from 14 players: babyeatingpsychopath Cursedshitbox Elmnt80 ephphatha Humphreys InitialDave IOwnCalculus Liquid Communism luminalflux McTinkerson Ranzear Seat Safety Switch Steely Dad The Door Frame If you've sent answers to me, let me know, otherwise keep them coming in! My goal this Sheep Game is to have the best one ever, which would be 62 players. If you've never played a Sheep Game, now is as good a time as ever...you don't have to be a forum superstar either, lurkers are welcome to play too!

I have submitted my answers. This is going to be a challenge to sheep I think. I predict that this will have the lowest number that a sheep winner has had before. This is something I have looked forward to every Christmas break.

This game rules. I wonder if numbers are down a little this year because people are put off by the more obscure questions. I learned about some rad cars while doing some reading to come up with my answers, and it was like 10 minutes well spent. Sheep game is what first pulled me out of lurking after 10+ years on the site, and I have since spent thousands of dollars on a second car, car poo poo, and tools that I could have saved if I hadn’t gotten involved. You should, too, lurkers!

I mostly look for answers that could be vaguely considered likely then try to sail as close as possible without hitting MrChips malicious groupings. If I was blatantly playing to lose all the time I'd just answer with "Denise Milani's boobs" and whats fun about wolfing that way? Gotta gamble to be a true wolf

Is there any strategy in signing up later due to the possibility of catching the way others might have answered by there comments in other threads?

Yeah if you're trying to win but who wants to do that? I'm trying to win by accident. And choosing the funniest name from the list of defunct French motor cars.
