 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:You have until 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Sunday, December 21st) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread at 3pm Pacific Time on Monday, December 22th (2300 UTC on Monday, December 21st), 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 two questions per day with each reveal being posted at or about 3pm Pacific Time, so you have some time to Without further ado, the questions: 1. In the second AI Sheep Game, the 1960s was the most popular choice when asked which decade AI posters would go back to for the cars. This car from the 1960s is the one I would most want to own. 2. Of all the technologies that have been incorporated into cars over the years, I am most grateful for this one from a quality of life perspective. 3. Car enthusiasts argue a lot about what constitutes a sports car. This characteristic, to me, defines what a sports car is more than anything else. 4. Without a doubt, this is the best-sounding road car ever built. 5. More than any other, I wish that this concept car was put into production. 6. This automotive brand needs to be removed from history and all their cars thrown into a volcano, they've been consistently that bad. 7. Automotive journalists and car enthusiasts often compare these two cars...I have no idea why they do. 8. This is without a doubt the AIest movie I've ever seen. 9. AIers have wide and varied interests in vehicles, such as trains, boats, airplanes and in rare cases, motorcycles. If there was any way, I would want to get seat time in this non-car vehicle more than anything else. 10. I daydream about participating in this race more than any other. 11. Is a hot dog a sandwich? 12. American Thanksgiving just ended...and I gave thanks that this car was built. 13. We all know Santa drives a magical reindeer powered sleigh on Christmas Eve. What does he drive the other 364 days of the year? 14. It's that time of year...what is the best piece of advice for winter driving? 15. Conversely, what is the worst piece of advice for winter driving? 16. In 2014, the average car bought in the US had approximately 230 horsepower, the highest amount ever. How much power will the average car have in 2034? 17. In 2034, car makers from __________ will be in the same position as the Japanese in the 1960s or the Koreans in the 1980s - on the cusp of building a proper car, that is. 18. Sticking with the 2034 theme, which, if any, automotive brand today will be nothing but memories by then? 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, December 20th (0700 UTC on Sunday, December 21st). See you all for the reveal!

Bunch of responses so far; starting to feed them into the game. One thing I didn't do in the OP was post the previous two games...if any of you are on the fence on this, go have a look at the first two games.

There is definitely no rush...I know this is a busy time of year for everyone, hence why I opted for an extra week and a bit for entries. That said I would love to see more participation in this edition; we did pretty well in the first couple, but as has been said many times before the more people the better (and funnier) the result.

Viggen posted:Can I do a second one under an unregistered moniker? You could do that, but it would be against the spirit of the game and it wouldn't actually be hard to figure out from my end what's going on. Plus, I can also just say...  NEW RULE: You must post in this thread when you send an entry as confirmation!
