Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Entries Closed!

OH MY GOD! It's South Park Sheep!



    Rules

  • The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
  • Example Sheep question: "Name a character." A good answer might be Cartman and a bad answer might be Mr. Slave.
  • Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name a South Park writer". Trey Parker might be a bad answer, but Pam Brady might be a good answer. (Unless you think everyone else is trying to go as obscure as possible, in which case you might outsmart them by naming Trey Parker).
  • Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins.
  • 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.
  • Certain rounds are considered Lightning Rounds (designated by a multiplier, such as ×2). In these rounds, scores are adjusted by the number on the multiplier. 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.
  • For this game only answers from your head are allowed. The use of Google/Wiki/SouthParkStudios.com/etc is strictly VERBOTEN!
  • 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.
  • Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
  • Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.
  • Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
    1 Unique is awarded -10
    2 Uniques are awarded -7 each
    3 Uniques are awarded -4 each
    4 Uniques are awarded -1 each
  • To assist you in submitting your answers, a spreadsheep is available here.


    The Questions

  1. R: Name one of the songs from the BLU soundtrack.
  2. S: Name a "good" guest character from the Imaginationland episodes.
  3. S: Name an "evil" guest character from the Imaginationland episodes.
  4. R: Name a character who had an alternate representation in "Good Times with Weapons". Just the character, not their alter-ego's name.
  5. S: The best Holiday-themed episode is __________. (If you don't know the name of it, describe it well)
  6. R: Matt Stone & Trey Parker have collaborated on several projects. Name one.
  7. S: Name a musician or band that has appeared in an episode.
  8. R: Name a female student that attends South Park Elementary.
  9. S: Name an actor/actress that provided a credited guest voice in an episode.
  10. R: Name a video game played in an episode.
  11. S: ___________ has received the worst of Cartman's deeds.
  12. R: Name someone employed by South Park Public Schools (past or present). - dvdhook
  13. S: Name your favorite non-human character. - dvdhook
  14. R: Name a movie that has been parodied for the majority of a single episode. Minor references and one-off jokes will not count.
  15. S: Who is your favorite recurring character (appeared in at least 10 episodes) besides the boys and Butters? - Red Dog
  16. R: The episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood" saw an influx of celebrity residents in South Park. Name one.
  17. S: Name a non-musical (because of question 7) celebrity that has been parodied in an episode. - Damfino
  18. R: South Park is not without permanent casualties. Name one. (No redshirts or passerbys allowed. It doesn't have to be a signficant, recurring character, but it should have some impact overall).
  19. S: ×2 I know the show is usually written and created within the same week it airs, but HOLY CRAP the reference to _________ was unexpected!
  20. R: ×3 Give the name of a blood relative of one of the boys.
  21. R: ×4 Hey, Buddy! Will you name a Canadian character, friend? Any will do, guy.
  22. S: ×10 Phase 1: Collect Underpants. Phase 2: ? Phase 3: Profit. Define Phase 2 in The Underpants Gnomes' plan.

I'm not sure how long I'll accept answers, but I can pretty much guarantee I'll be doing the results during regular business hours. I might start on Thursday unless response is really low, then it may be next week. On the flip side, I think since this is my first Sheep that I should limit the number of players to 40.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Well, my usual sheep strategy of answering the questions as quick as possible while at work certainly didn't help much here... I felt like I really struggled with this one!

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Hang on. I messed up the question order in the OP. The spreadsheet is correct.

I will fix this momentarily.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

I only saw about half of Imaginationland back when it first aired. Remembered like nothing about it. The two bombs I put for those answers will set me back right away.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

So far it's pretty tame. That may change when I get your answers

And, really, isn't controversy what we strive for?

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

I just sent my answers in. I enjoy South Park as much as the next person but I haven't seen all the eps and I've only seen them once or twice so I wouldn't call myself a huge fan.

We'll see how it plays out.

I didn't mean for it to be hard. I tried to stay away from specific episodes, unless they were very memorable and could provide a good question.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

My answers suck (pretty basic) but I'm in. I had no clue on the "Here Comes the Neighborhood" one. Don't remember that ep, so I just took a wild guess.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

PM sent, thanks pinata.

I have not seen the Imaginationland episodes and I could not recall the celebrities that moved into South Park but hopefully I did better on the Sheep questions than I have done in other games.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Currently have 24 players. Politics Sheep is running, Poker/Vegas is penciled in for tomorrow. I think I'll hold off on these results until Monday. It'll allow for a few more players and give me time to prepare for busting my herder cherry.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Yeah, but I was planning to wait until Monday for a variety of reasons. Let's list them, shall we?

1) I'm only on the computer during work hours (M-F, 7:30 - 4:30 CT)
2) Today I have 2 appointments outside of the house to attend to
3) Tomorrow I have a major meeting in the middle of the day
4) It will give me time to prepare the results and gather pictures

That said, if you guys don't mind a slower roll-out with several long pauses I can start today.

I have 25 players which feels fine.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep

Also, I'm thinking of calling #22 a bonus question and having 2 final standings because of it. I think that the multiplier coupled by the confusion i'm experiencing lining up answers made it a bad question.

What do you guys think?
