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. Also, if you've participated before in a Sheep Game, please send your old username, so I can update the statistics as well!

Format for your submission is important, so please send your answers, without the question numbers or the questions themselves inline; 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 Friday, December 21st (0700 UTC on Saturday, December 22nd) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, December 23nd (2300 UTC on Sunday, December 23rd), 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:

Japanese cars are some of the most popular and well-respected cars, both within AI and in the rest of the normal world. This car that was made by a Japanese manufacturer is the one that I like the most.
This is the best race track in the world, I just love it.
Even if it isn�t on my favourite race track from the previous question, this is the best corner on any race track out there.
Many Sheep Games ago, the 1960s was the decade that most of us wanted to go back to for the cars, but that doesn�t mean there weren�t some real stinkers back then. This was the worst car from the 1960s.
It�s the holiday season, and that means family gatherings! This piece of advice that my parents/grandparents/uncles/aunts always seem to repeat just doesn�t apply to modern driving.
Times have moved on a bit; this is the car racing game that takes up most of my time these days.
We like performance cars in AI, which often means engines with high specific outputs. This is the highest specific output (in horsepower per litre) in a car that I�ve driven.
Cars from the 90s are undergoing a bit of a rehabilitation in terms of their reputation of late. This car from the 90s is the one I like the best.
I carry a toolkit in my car in case of emergencies, but of all the tools I have in that kit, this one is the most important in my opinion.
Most car-branded merchandise is crap, but this is really good!
This brand has the best-looking cars on sale today, bar none.
Everyone seems to hate <insert brand>�s cars for the way they look, but I really like them!
Having said that, this brand has the worst-looking cars on sale today, without any doubt.
This is the ugliest colour I�ve ever seen a car company willingly paint one of their cars in. (be specific!)
This is the best turbocharged engine of all time, if you ask me.
On the other hand, this is the worst turbocharged engine of all time.
In Sheep Game 8, AI overwhelmingly voted the 1980s as having the best race cars. This was the best of all of them.
If you ask me, this is the best brand of motor oil.

Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11 PM Pacific Time on Friday, December 21st (0700 UTC on Saturday, December 22nd). See you all for the reveal!

Before anyone blames chips, I convinced him #18 was a good idea, so I am to blame for the holy war that will erupt in the thread soon. But don't worry, because I have sent chips the correct answer.
