Summer Hiatus Sheep Game?

It's the summer. It's slow around here. So I got to thinking... last year we had this fad called "Sheep games". They were very popular, and then they died. Probably because they're an insane amount of work and only a select few people had it in them to run a game more than once.

I was one of those people.

My question is simple. Would anyone like to see the triumphant return of TV Sheep?

Re: Summer Hiatus Sheep Game?

It's a long, hot, crime-ridden summer.

I call for cop show sheep, but I'm down for just about anything. If I know enough about it, I'll participate. If I don't know enough about it, I'll read and laugh.

I'd personally like to return to a system that only involves sheep and reverse sheep questions. The last couple I participated in had such freaking confusing question types I'm not sure anybody ever got the scoring right.

Is this the same game where my wife and I play in the bed? When she grabs my diggleberries, I yell "Mehhhh........."

Re: Summer Hiatus Sheep Game?

Cool. Looks like there's some interest.

I don't want to do a show-specific game, just to try and get more people playing. A genre-specific game could be fun, but there are only a few genres that I watch enough of that I'd be able to come up with questions.

A cop show game sounds intriguing, but I don't watch them that much. Other options: daytime TV, sitcoms, sci-fi.

Send me questions!

I've gotten quite a few questions from various people, so thank you very much! I'm going to work on putting the game together and hopefully it will be up sometime next week.

These were great fun last year. Even though I never did particularly well, I was proud of my finishing in the middle of the pack. That and the fact that I was around for the Borg controversy.

I'm in. Have to defend my distinction of the best sheep gamer that never won.

Re: Summer Hiatus Sheep Game?

Twas sad when this trend died out. I'm also all for standard sheep/reverse sheep. When it got so confusing and you tossed wolves and snails or WTF else were in some of the latter games, it just got way to confusing.

Don't forget the Love Connection controversy or The Great Monopoly Debacle of Aught-Nine. Good times...

Though I know you were not into the unconventional game twists the same way that The Bus was, don't listen to this man Tracer. Slam Dunks, Wolves and the like are great.

I enjoyed the slam dunks, but I could do without the wolves.
