Anyone not on the list of 20 in post 19, should be disqualified from answering Question 6 with anything but a movie SS directed, a fair penalty for waiting too long to send answers in.

Re: Movie Talk (Reverse) Sheep: Lazy Spring Game

BTW, it didn't even occur to me that "a Steven Spielberg movie" would be anything other than a movie he directed. The guy is listed on the credit for literally hundreds of things besides directing. And no one thinks of any of those movies as "Steven Spielberg" movies, unless he directed them in addition to another credit.

Wait, you don't consider Argo a George Clooney Movie?

Re: Movie Talk (Reverse) Sheep: Lazy Spring Game

Fine, we'll close off entries.

Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is. Halfway through compiling the answers, I noticed one person had selected a movie Steven Spielberg was involved in, but did not direct. I was going to mark it wrong until I looked at the wording of my question and saw I didn't say "directed", so they could argue they made a correct answer. I just thought, "Well, good for them for thinking outside of the box."

You've run enough of these games to know that the Sheep are always trying to game the system.

One reverse question isn't going to break the game...

Let them play! Let them play! Let them play!

Paul Reubens did not play Pee-Wee Herman in Jaws.

Re: Movie Talk (Reverse) Sheep: Lazy Spring Game

Every time I do one of these games there is always some problem that gets people bitching and bums me out.

Anyone who still wants to submit answers please do so, I'd be happy to have you.

Anyone wants to re-submit their Steven Spielberg answer, go right ahead.

Either we found the loophole exploiter ... or we found the person who's going to lose to them by the margin of that question

It's Sheep so I lost the moment I submitted my answers. I was conventional on that answer btw.

As one SM to another, I agree that Sheep games are often a bummer

Re: Movie Talk (Reverse) Sheep: Lazy Spring Game

That's why david dropped Reverse Sheep questions.
I love them (sometimes) because it's your chance as a contestant to be clever. But they can lead to nasty in-fighting.

Thanks for running the game, Crocker! We really appreciate it.

I can't re-submit since I checked IMDB after this issue arose, but I'll live with the results regardless. Game on!

I use Reverses in most of my games because I like them too ("Name one of the Fab Four"), but I've reduced the number and try to restrict the number of possible answers and make them easily verifiable. I think one of the Reverses in one of my early games was something like "Name a British sci-fi show." Big mistake.

Why did you answer ivelostr2's question, in the first place? That's what boggles the mind.

Same reason I give money to bums on the street--I gotta learn to toughen up.

Shitty answers sent.

Some of these questions were sort of difficult.

While we wait for the game to begin, here's a topic to discuss:

Why did Judd Hirsch get above-the-title credit on "Taxi"?
