The wording of the question was left ambiguous and any answers that are literally correct should be counted as so. If it was supposed to be limited to romantic interests, it could have easily said so. i.e. "Spiderman is a playboy... name one of Peter Parker's romantic interests."

Nah, I've got to go with kgrogers1979 on this one. The first statement suggests a context to the question. Otherwise it was just there for no reason.

One of the strategies of reverse sheep questions is coming up with an answer that fits the criteria, but not necessarily in the way most people would think when they read the question. I've no chance of winning this round of sheep, so I don't particularly care, but I'm not sure why anything but a factually wrong answer would be considered wrong. Players shouldn't have to guess whether the wording of questions is intended to create a bit of misdirection or actually limit the number of correct answers.

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!

Okay, here are a few questions for the group.


1. Did the Ultimate version of Jubilee ever come to the 616?
2. Did alternate / future versions of Wolverine or Charles X ever come to the 616?
3. Does the Beyonder count as a villain in Secret Wars?
4. Should I accept partial names as characters? For example, if the question was. Name a Batman villain and the person answering said crocodile, instead of Killer Croc, should I count it as correc?.
5. Is Excalibur and X-Calibre the same thing?

I asked that question with Aunt May and his daughter in mind as possible answers. The lead in was intended to throw people off...sorry if that was something i shouldn't have done.

If I'm not mistaken, X-Calibre is the Age of Apocolypse version of Excalibur.

I don't have a clue about the rest, but you should count partial answers if you know what they mean.

so, how about a answer that I know what they intended, but what they answered has its own meaning, that is kinda funny in itself.

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!

Crocodile should be counted as Killer Croc, unless there was some other Crocodilian villain that I can't remember.

Since you are no longer accepting answers, why don't you post the ones you are having trouble with and we can rule on them?

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!

I think grossly incorrect names should be wrong, but that's just me. Typos or honest mistakes are one thing, but those come off as random stabs at an answer.

okay, for the Guardians of the galaxy question, I put the answers that were only raccoon with Rocket Raccoon, but I'm not sure what to do with Rocky Raccoon...

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!

If you're going by "what they meant" and matching "Raccoon" with "Rocket Raccoon" then you should match "Rocky Raccoon" too. If you're going by "Michael Anthony Hall" rules you should mark them as three separate answers.

It's a seperate answer, if only because I misread that question as a reverse and didn't give the obvious answer of Excalibur, so we need to bring that score down

Technically, yes, they are cosmic beings that transcend such minor things as good and evil.

However, the Secret Wars definitely does toss Galactus in with the villain group.





There are only two groups in the story. The heroes and the villains. There is no neutral group.

As for the Beyonder, he isn't part of the group of villains, but the term "villain" could be interpreted to mean antagonist, and the Beyonder is the primary antagonist of the story. If you are going to accept non-romantic love for the Peter Parker is a playboy question, then villain as antagonist should be acceptable as well.
