Comic Book Sheep -- who's in?

Those of oyu who read Video Game Talk or Politics Talk know that we've been playing a game called Sheep (and also Reverse Sheep). The way it works is that the Sheepmaster posts a list of questions, then everyone PMs their responses to the Sheepmaster. The Sheepmaster then compiles them and posts the results. Points are awarded for every person who matches your answer. The goal is to get the highest score (or the lowest score in Reverse Sheep). So if the first question is "Name a member of the Fantastic Four," and three people say the Human Torch, five say the Thing, and two say the Invisible Woman, then the five people who said the Thing would get five points each, the three people who said the Human Torch would get three points each, and the two people who said the Invisible Woman would get two points each.

I thought Comic Book Sheep would be fun, but the game really only works if you have twenty or more people playing, so before I put a lot of effort into coming up with questions, I wanted to see if there was interest.

Post a response in this thread if you are interested. If enough people say they are, I'll put something together.

I'd play, even though I don't know that much about comics other then mainstream Marvel and DC.

Re: Comic Book Sheep -- who's in?

Well, I'd definitely try to keep the questions relatively high-level. It wouldn't be 100% Marvel and DC, but it would be the kind of stuff you can answer if you've got a general knowledge of comics. I'm also considering ways to allow people to use Google/wiki while still providing some incentive to go it without Google.

OK -- I'll put up some questions within the next day or so and keep the answer period open for about a week so we can be sure everyone has enough time to answer. Watch this forum and be ready to Sheep!

I think JasonF wanted to do this just so he could call himself a Sheepmaster.
