Book Talk (Reverse) Sheep — The Rise and Fall of the Sheep Empire

[The Bus]

<img src="http://www.fantasticdamage.com/blog/bookrs1.gif">

Never played before? Here's some praise for the game:

"These things are the most fun way to waste time at work since GemCraft." - maxfisher

"This is the most stirring display of gallantry and sportsmanship since Mountbatten gave India back to the Punjabs." - wishbone

"These have been really fun." - Tracer Bullet

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank The Bus for quite possibly the funniest commentary of any of the sheep games." - orangecrush18


<ul>Rules<br>
<li> The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font>) or least common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font>), but still correct.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font> question: "Name a famous book by Tolkien." A good answer would be The Hobbit and a bad answer might be The Silmarillion.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> question: "Name a character in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings". Bilbo Baggins might be a bad answer, but Ghân-buri-Ghân might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
<li> Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins.
<li> The answers to each question are tallied up. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer. This penalty is multiplied by the Lightning Round Multiplier. Wrong answers in Sheep are not penalized.
<li> Certain rounds are considered Lightning Rounds (designated by a multiplier, such as ×2). In these rounds, scores are adjusted by the <u>number on the multiplier</u>. A wrong answer still gets a +4 penalty in a ×2 round and a +6 penalty in a ×3 round, and so on. In a sheep round, a wrong answer scores normally.
<li> You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head. <b>NEW!</b> A few questions (<b>√</b>) contain links to resources which you may check to answer that question.
<li> Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Those who do not do this will be penalized 10 points right off the bat.
<li> For your convenience, <a href="http://www.fantasticdamage.com/blog/BookR1.xls">I've made an Excel file</a> where you can prepare your answers. When finished, just select the column of answers and send that in as text via PM. Don't email me the Excel file, that would be silly. (<a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tZYHNPvU3VS9r-_jpeVqkfw">Google version here</a>).
<li> Note: Unless specifically mentioned in the question, all books need to be published books. If authors are named, publicly-known pen names are OK (Richard Bachman).
<li> Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font>, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font>.
<li> <b>NEW!</b> Equalizer Question(s) A few questions are Equalizer Questions. These are designed to make the mid- and late-game more competitive. These questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF46B5">E:</font> in front of them. In these questions, all answers are grouped together as per usual, but the top 50% (rounded up) all have their answers count as Reverse Sheep questions, and the bottom 50% (rounded down) have their answers count as Sheep questions.

Let's say there's six players, with their scores as such:
Googlemj23 : -40
PapaRobot : -28
The Gus : -20
orangefanta18 : -10
freensty : 8
FasonJ : 32

The question was "Name an American car maker" and everyone but FasonJ answered "Ford". (He answered "Chrysler"). The "Ford" answer would count as -5 points to orangefanta18 and freensty, and as +5 points to Googlemj3, PapaRobot and The Gus. FasonJ gets 0 points and remains in last.

Good luck!

You'll note I don't have a start date for this one. I will start the game once I have an appropriate amount of entries (20-35).

If you'd like future rounds of Book (Reverse) Sheep, send me suggestions for questions. You can send them with your answers if you wish. It won't count against you on formatting.

<hr>

NOTE: ALL IS FIXED!

[Pharoh]

I'll likely play, but wanted to :lol: @ googlemj23. Nicely played.

[Tarantino]

Love the sheep games, but there's no way I could play this one. I can only answer about half of the questions.

= J

[Groucho]

I started to fill out the the google spreadsheet, but it seems to be messed up. Was I took quick on the draw?

[Venusian]

Are 3 and 20 the same?

[Venusian]

wait 14 and 16 are the same too. is this on purpose?

[Groucho]

It looks like the Google spreadsheet matches the answers here, but there are oddities (see Venusian's posts for details).

[Tracer Bullet]

Sounds like fun. After running two of these it'll be nice to sit back and watch the results roll in.

[orangecrush]

Even with the healthy dose of Harry Potter, I couldn't answer many of the questions. I also like that in your example of the equalizer, you are beating both JasonF and myself.

[lysander]

Im in
PM sent

[Rockmjd23]

Now if this one fills up before I submit my answers, I'll really be pissed.

[Tracer Bullet]

Yeah the Google spreadsheet is all fucked up.

[Rockmjd23]

Question #1 could be quite controversial depending on what denomination's Bible you are using. ;)

Edit: I honestly have no clue what is going on with the Equalizer qs, and a big FU to The Bus for googlemjd23! :lol:

[Rockmjd23]

Your links on 7 and 8 are reversed, perhaps on purpose :P

[Groucho]

Host is AWOL. Is this whole game an elaborate prank?

[fumanstan]

Why is there a musical and movie question for Book Sheep?

[The Bus]

Host is AWOL. Is this whole game an elaborate prank?

:mad:

[The Bus]

Fixing it now.

[The Bus]

Fixed!

[Venusian]

spreadsheet isn't editable

[Venusian]

Question #1 could be quite controversial depending on what denomination's Bible you are using. ;)
good thing its a sheep question and there are no wrong answers

[The Bus]

spreadsheet isn't editable

You can't edit it, since it has to be shared with everyone else.

[Venusian]

I thought i could in politics but just not save it. either way, i sent some really bad answers. maybe i can beat my terrible tv performance

[The Bus]

And yes, the links to the questions are switched (on Google and the Excel file) but follow the question.

[Fist of Doom]

<li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was a terrible movie.

:mad:

[TheDude]

I'm in! I also feel weirdly good about my answers, which has to be some kind of terrible sign of how I'm going to do.

The good news is, since this is Book Talk, I'm probably the only one playing.

[Tracer Bullet]

I'm in!

[The Bus]

And for the questions that are not directly about books, I mention the word "book" (or something similar) somewhere.

[woody5254]

I'm in.

[Rockmjd23]

I'm in.

[Groucho]

Okay, I'm in. I have a degree in English, so I hope I am not in last place.

[JasonF]

Let's say there's six players, with their scores as such:
Googlemj23 : -40
PapaRobot : -28
The Gus : -20
orangefanta18 : -10
freensty : 8
FasonJ : 32

The question was "Name an American car maker" and everyone but FasonJ answered "Ford". (He answered "Chrysler"). The "Ford" answer would count as -5 points to orangefanta18 and freensty, and as +5 points to Googlemj3, PapaRobot and The Gus. FasonJ gets 0 points and remains in last.


Boo! FasonJ is an awesome player and would never be in last place.

I'm not sure I understand how this is an "equalizer," since FasonJ didn't get at all equalized. I'm sure it's way more work for you, but to make it a true eqaulizer, you need to count it as the better of the options for the Bottom 50% and the worse of the options for the Top 50%.

So to slightly modify your example, if Googlemj23 had gone with GM, you would count that as a Sheep and score zero since he's in the Top 50%, but count FasonJ's unique as a Reverse Sheep since that would be the better option for him. For the four "Ford" answers, the two Top 50% players who gave it would get +4 and the two Bottom 50% players would get -4.

Like I said, more work for you, so it's up to you how you want to score that.

[Venusian]

I didn't understand E so I just answered it not really strategically.

[JasonF]

Okay, I'm in. I have a degree in English, so I hope I am not in last place.

If you have a degree in English, you've already demonstrated yourself to be a loser. ;)

[maxfisher]

I'm in and will be shooting for the middle of the pack once again.

[movieking]

For the Stephen King question, does it have to be a self contained book, or can it include novellas or short stories as well?

[benedict]

You'll note I don't have a start date for this one. I will start the game once I have an appropriate amount of entries (20-35).I know I'm short of time these next ten days but a quick scan through the questions indicates I'd not be short of answers!

With luck it'll take a fortnight before all of the habitual Book Talk browsers have seen this and so I'll be able to dive in before the 20-35 number of entrants has been reached.

PS) It'll take me a time before I can fully comprehend the rules!

[maxfisher]

For the Stephen King question, does it have to be a self contained book, or can it include novellas or short stories as well?

I'm guessing the use of the word 'book' as opposed to 'story' was deliberate. The Bus has been running quite a few of these and seems to be intentionally precise with his language.

[The Bus]

Boo! FasonJ is an awesome player and would never be in last place.

I'm not sure I understand how this is an "equalizer," since FasonJ didn't get at all equalized. I'm sure it's way more work for you, but to make it a true eqaulizer, you need to count it as the better of the options for the Bottom 50% and the worse of the options for the Top 50%.

Like I said, more work for you, so it's up to you how you want to score that.

That is how I would score it, with the exception that there is no unique answer bonus this time around, so as not to scare the bibliophiles here. But if there was a combination of Unique Answer + Equalizer Round, you'd be correct.

[movieking]

The possible problem is that there have been King stories that have been apart of a book with a collection of stories that have also been released as standalone books as well, especially after the release of movies.

[hardcore]

This looks like fun, though I admit I don't really get the strategy for the equalizers...

[Tracer Bullet]

That is how I would score it, with the exception that there is no unique answer bonus this time around, so as not to scare the bibliophiles here. But if there was a combination of Unique Answer + Equalizer Round, you'd be correct.

I just figured that if you think your answers are strong you should answer the Equalizer questions as Reverse Sheep and if you think your answers are not strong you should answer it as Sheep.

[maxfisher]

The possible problem is that there have been King stories that have been apart of a book with a collection of stories that have also been released as standalone books as well, especially after the release of movies.

If a work's been released as a standalone book and part of a larger collection, I think you'd fall within the realm of the question. Just be ready to post a link proving it was released as a standalone book for when the mob challenges your answer.

[The Bus]

This looks like fun, though I admit I don't really get the strategy for the equalizers...

I don't know if there is one. There's one question I had done that was either R or S depending on the final stock price of a company (after the deadline for entry submission).

I don't know if those questions will be fun or just too complicated. We'll see.

[wishbone]

Let's get a few more people in here:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/book-talk/557766-book-talk-reverse-sheep-rise-fall-sheep-empire.htmlBus, I will send you a PM tonight -- I need to finish some answers.

[Goat3001]

I just sent mine in. I know I didn't do well, because I'm one of those kids that slipped through the system and never learned how to read.

[Mordred]

If a work's been released as a standalone book and part of a larger collection, I think you'd fall within the realm of the question. Just be ready to post a link proving it was released as a standalone book for when the mob challenges your answer.Crap, I may be in trouble with this one.

[Mordred]

I found this post today (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/9085063-post200.html). :lol:

[Jeremy517]

The equalizer questions really screw over people in the top 30-49% or so. You aren't close enough to compete for the top, but you aren't bad enough to get sheep scoring, so you are probably going to get passed by a bunch of people, especially with the first E question only having four answers. The only positive for those people is that there are two in a row, so they might get a little bit back quickly depending on how far they dropped.

I'm not sure why you'd want to level out the scoring. Why should the people who did well on the first 11 questions be punished?

[kenbuzz]

I'm in, if I can get the flippin' PM sent!

[Mordred]

I'm not sure why you'd want to level out the scoring. Why should the people who did well on the first 11 questions be punished?So that rockmjd23 doesn't win.

[The Bus]

I found this post today (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/9085063-post200.html). :lol:

It is a bit easier now that I have a system down. I didn't have a system down back then.

[Mordred]

It is a bit easier now that I have a system down. I didn't have a system down back then.I've got a system and my hand still hurts from searching for images for everything.

I need to add some macros to my spreadsheet to auto-sort questions, and better format the score list (tabs would be nice). Also maybe something to copy selected cells to another cell for easy pasting would be nice too. Is that the kind of thing you use?

[FatTony]

I'm in! Not much of a reader, so it'll be interesting to see how poorly I do. I didn't really answer very strategically with the equalizers, but from what I can tell, if you think you'll be in the top 50% at that point in the game, you'll want to answer them as reverse sheep questions.

[rkndkn]

I'm working on it, but neither Excel or Google works for me, so it's taking me some time.

[The Bus]

I made a macro to sort the "Formatted Results" tab (the highlighted one with Gumbel's head). That made it easier. Something to sort each question would be nice but it's only used once, since each time you sort a different column.

The thing that helps the most is going through it the night before, formatting all the answers so they match each other, and highlighting the wrong and unique answers.

[The Bus]

These games never cease to surprise me. I thought going super-obscure in one of the questions would be the death of me.

No one's picked that answer.

However you're doing it, thanks a lot. These games are a lot of fun, although my work has sufferred terribly.

[Jeremy517]

In for a bottom 25% finish.

[The Bus]

BTW, you never e-mailed me your spreadsheet. Didn't I threaten to dock you 10 points for that?

I can email it to you again. I was out of town for the holiday by the time I got your response. PM me your email again and I'll send it out.

[The Bus]

We've got enough people that this will work. When do you guys want to start and/or do you want to wait?

[achau9598]

I just saw the link over in sports sheep .. can I get my answers in?

[Pharoh]

We've got enough people that this will work. When do you guys want to start and/or do you want to wait?

How about waiting until tomorrow, so I can send my answers in this evening?



:)

[wishbone]

Bus, I will send you a PM tonight -- I need to finish some answers.PM sent... :fc:

[Pharoh]

PM also sent. Hopefully not too late.

[orangecrush]

I just figured that if you think your answers are strong you should answer the Equalizer questions as Reverse Sheep and if you think your answers are not strong you should answer it as Sheep.This. I answered them as Reverse Sheep questions.

Come to think of it, I may have made a terrible mistake.

[wishbone]

PM also sent. Hopefully not too late.Good luck Pharoh you're goin' down :)

[Rockmjd23]

I didn't quite get the E part when I submitted my answers, but I answered them as reverse sheep anyway.

[stp115]

I PM'd in. We'll see if they want me or someone else as dead last this time...

[Fist of Doom]

I didn't understand E so I just answered it not really strategically.

This looks like fun, though I admit I don't really get the strategy for the equalizers...

The equalizer questions really screw over people in the top 30-49% or so.

I thought that this would take weeks to get enough players, which is why I took my time in getting my answers in. I guess it shows the power of the Sheep.

Glad to see that I made it under the wire :up:

I got an email from the library saying my library card was expiring this week.

Not sure how that is relevant to anything but figured I'd throw it out there

[Tracer Bullet]

Yep. I love sheep so much I put in an entry for the Star Track game, I don't really know Star Track.

You actually gave decent answers.

[Tracer Bullet]

Oh let's all share what we're reading right now!

I just started this:

[Venusian]

Really? How bad are mine? I used to be a huge Trek fan but some of those questions were hard even for me

[movieking]

Isn't that embarrassing when you have a lady friend sleep over?

That problem has yet to arise.

Besides, I don't really like having girls over. I don't want them touching my mint condition action figures. They lose value that way.

[Venusian]

I just finished The Last Lecture and haven't started a new one. I am reading through 40 Days of the Jesus Creed but that isn't really a sit down and read it book

[Venusian]

The Bus is a tease :(

[Tracer Bullet]

Really? How bad are mine? I used to be a huge Trek fan but some of those questions were hard even for me

Nothing jumps out at me as being a completely terrible answer!

[Venusian]

Nothing jumps out at me as being a completely terrible answer!

Name a species that the USS Voyager made first contact with.

[Tracer Bullet]

Name a species that the USS Voyager made first contact with.
Name one of the Vorta.

Yeah those were bad answers.

Honestly I'm surprised that people are having so much trouble with the question about first contact and Voyager. There were two aliens in the main cast that were new!

[Venusian]

yeah but it has been so long since I've seen the show i can't remember what either characters race was. i can tell you their names and at least ones life span and all that...but not the race name :(

[Groucho]

Oh let's all share what we're reading right now!Is TV Guide a book?

[Merkin Muffley]

Name a species that the USS Voyager made first contact with.
Name one of the Vorta.

I'll challenge you on those two. My answers have to be equally as terrible.

[wmansir]

I haven't been reading much lately. I took King's The Talisman off my bookshelf and put it on my nightstand last week, but I can't remember if I started reading it or just reading the back refreshed my memory since I read it like 20 years ago.

If we're sharing what we're currently reading, I'm almost finished with Death Masks in the Dresden Files series.

Can anyone tell me whats up with the Dresden Files audio book releases. I was really enjoying them and then the new book came out and they decided to skip ahead to publish it and now it looks like they are publishing them completely out of order or something.
