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:

code:
1. Miatas
2. Dead hooker smell.
You have until 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, October 4th (0600 UTC on Sunday, October 5th) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be done question by question in this thread at 3pm Pacific Time on Sunday, October 5th (2200 UTC on Sunday, October 5th), so set your calendars/alarm clocks/crude sundials made from old Jeep parts for the big day! This time, I will be doing the reveal one question 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. We all know that AI is the best automotive forum on the internet, but the folks at __________ are a close second.
2. Unlike those guys I named in Question 1, __________ has, without a doubt, the WORST community of any automotive forum.
3. Car magazines are often not very good, but I think __________ is fantastic.
4. Speaking of car magazines, we all know they make predictions about the future of cars and brands. This oft-quoted prediction makes me think they're more interested in selling magazines than in being reliable journalists.
5. Visiting/seeing this automotive-related place/event is on my bucket list, and should be on everyone else's too.
6. Everybody rips on Lucas for making terrible, unreliable car parts, but __________ honestly deserves that reputation just as equally.
7. If I had the time and money, I would resurrect this automotive brand lost to history.
8. I've always thought that this feature was the coolest thing about old cars.
9. If I could go back to any decade just for the cars, it would be the __________.
10. I will stop at nothing to rearrange my life so that I can watch this race/racing series, it's that good.
11. In my opinion, these brands have (or have had) the greatest rivalry in auto racing.
12. On that subject, these people have (or have had) the greatest rivalry in auto racing.
13. If I could get seat time in any current or historic race car, it would be __________.
14. Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. Before his tragic death in 1994, he amassed 41 wins. If he survived his accident and continued racing, how many F1 wins do you think he would he have when he retired?

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, October 4th (0600 UTC on Sunday, October 5th). See you all for the reveal!

I made some edits to a couple of questions, partly for clarification, partly because I'm a big dummy and wasn't specific enough :downs:

There are a few players who need to resubmit answers for Question 5 specifically. Other than that, keep the answers coming in!

To be honest, I have no idea what question 5 means (my English is not great), so I made something up.

poo poo, that was an awkward typo. I meant number 4. I didn't understand number 4. Is it "what sort of dumb poo poo do car magazines make up (regarding future automotive products) to sound sensational"?

You said these were open to interpretation so I just interpreted the ones I wasn't sure about and did not take anything seriously.
