OH MY GOD! It's South Park Sheep!
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.
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
- R: Name one of the songs from the BLU soundtrack.
- S: Name a "good" guest character from the Imaginationland episodes.
- S: Name an "evil" guest character from the Imaginationland episodes.

- R: ×3 Give the name of a blood relative of one of the boys.
- R: ×4 Hey, Buddy! Will you name a Canadian character, friend? Any will do, guy.

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
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.

Re: Goin' Down to South Park Sheep
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?
