Welcome to Futurama Sheep! (Bring out your torches and pitchforks; I wasn't able to find a suitable sheep picture.)

Intro for first time players


General Rules


Game-Specific Rules


Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat.

I will also correct mistakes you may have made when originally sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points.

Read the game-specific rules (especially related to how slam dunks can be used).


The Questions
1. R: “Are you three, by any chance, interested in becoming my new spaceship crew?” Name a character who temporarily worked at Planet Express.

4. S: “Remember your manners, kids. Forks go in the left pocket, spoons in the right.” Name something other than stealing that Bender is known for.

20. S: “You're watching Futurama, the show that does not advocate the cool crime of robbery.” What is your favorite episode?

Crocker Jarmen

What do you mean by "temporarily worked at Planet Express"? Like they only did it for one episode? Technically, any of the main characters "temporarily worked" at Planet Express.

Red Dog

Yeeesh. Do we have to know actual episode titles or can we give some kind of description?

Lord Zarak

I'm as big as a Futurama fan as the next bottled head, but given that questions ask for episode titles, me thinks Googling will have to be used.

TheKing

Bah! big fans would own the DVDs, thus having all episode names memorized

There's a few episodes that have pretty famous names.

wishbone

I think I have S1-4 on DVD but I have not watched them in years.

JasonF

Good news everybody! It's Futurama Sheep!

I don't think I've watched a full episode since it was on Fox ... I'll probably sit this one out.

Cabman Gray

That's about what I had in mind; but if they did it for two or three episodes, that would count too.

I won't be too strict on that; I'm sure I can figure out the title from a short description.

TheKing

Alright, my answers are submitted.

Let's see if I can win two of these sheep games in a row!

Lord Zarak

Answers were cryogenicly frozen waiting for you to discover them in one thousand years.

DaveNinja

answers sent. This one will be tough

mrcellophane

Answers sent. Tried my best!

Cabman Gray

We have 7 players so far; still plenty of spots open.

majorjoe23

My answers are submitted.nits my first time playing a sheep game.

Cabman Gray

I'm going to hold this open through tomorrow, then start with the players I've got (would like 3-5 more, but will go with the current number otherwise).

Answers sent. At first glance, I thought this looked really tough and I admit I had to really do some thinking on the answers while in other sheep games I've been able to use answers off the top of my head.

Mhepburn20

I submitted - I suspect this one might be slow for players as some of the questions are too difficult but I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out and thank you for hosting! I was surprised at how many episode titles I remembered but there was still one that I had no idea the name of the episode and another where I had no idea if the place I described was specifically named in the episode. Hopefully descriptions count.

Cabman Gray

I've got the game just about ready to go. I'm looking to start it either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning - whichever time the players think best.

mrcellophane

I could probably follow along Tuesday afternoon, but have a job interview Wednesday morning (yay!).

Crocker Jarmen

If you are ready to go, I say start Tuesday.

Cabman Gray

The game will begin in about two hours.
