FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first



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 Sunday, December 22nd (0700 UTC on Monday, December 23rd). to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Monday, December 23rd (2300 UTC on Monday, 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:

  1. If you ask me, this is the most exciting car on sale today.
  2. On the other hand, this is the most boring car on sale today.
  3. In my opinion, this is the most important and defining characteristic of a luxury car, by far.
  4. When I am shopping around for a beater car, I’m unwilling to spend more than ___________.
  5. This brand makes the most reliable cars on the road today.
  6. Conversely, this brand makes the least reliable cars on the road today.
  7. The Germans have a very long history of making cars. This car built by a German company is the one that I dream of driving the most.
  8. This piece of technology redefined the car as we know it today.
  9. When a road car engine exceeds this power-displacement ratio (in horsepower/litre), I sit up and think, “yeah, that’s pretty powerful!”
  10. Italy has a long and storied history of auto manufacturing. This brand from Italy is the one I love the most.
  11. When I look back on how I got into cars, this person in my life is probably the reason why it happened.
  12. Cars and consumer habits are constantly changing. The 2039 version of the __________ will be absolutely unrecognisable to us today.
  13. On the other hand, the 2039 version of the __________ will be immediately recognisable to us today.
  14. I don’t mind working on cars, but any time this job comes up I have to force myself to do it, it’s so miserable.
  15. AI has been around for quite a while now. This is the greatest story to have been told in the entire history of the subforum.
  16. The __________ is undoubtedly the strangest engine to have ever made production in a road car (be specific!)
  17. In the 80s and 90s, we saw the Japanese car industry come to the forefront; in the 90s/00s it was the Koreans, and in the 2010s it’s looking like it’s China. Which, if any, country’s car industry will rise, or rise again, in the 2020s and 30s?
  18. If I didn’t need a car to commute to work, I would put this in my garage as my weekend toy.

Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, December 22nd (0700 UTC on Monday, December 23rd). See you all for the reveal!
