Just saw this. I'll submit answers shortly.

Not to criticize, but you are a terrible person for making question #15 X7.

I figure if everyone doesn't answer, I'll change the x5 multplier to a x0 and it won't make a difference.

Wolf Questions. Some questions, marked as <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF5B60">W:</font>, are designed to improve the scores of most players, while penalizing a few. Think of them as a Reverse Sheep question with elements of a Sheep Question, or a Wolf culling the Sheepiest of the group. The most common answer is scored via Reverse rules. All other correct answers are scored via Sheep rules. Example below:
Suppose the question is as follows:

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF5B60">W:</font> <b>Name a fruit.</b>

And the answers were:

The Bus, Pharoh, JasonF, orangecrush18: Blueberry
Red Dog, Tracer Bullet: Banana
VinVega, Mordred: Apple
Venusian: Black


Answers are scored as follows:
Blueberry: +4
Banana: -2
Apple: -2
Tomato: 0
Black: +6 (wrong answer)
The bottom line is you want an answer that is correct and common, but not too common.

to be honest, i tore up pieces of paper and picked them out of a hat and leave the multipliers to fate...I thought i might be too biased to just let myself pick. So it is the fates that are terrible, not I...

I'll send in some answers around 12:30 Pacific if there's still room.

Don't forget about this aspect of Wolf questions :lol::

<ul><li> In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font> questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier. You are allowed to use only one {sd}s per Sheep question.

If your answer is unique, it will add +2 to the Multiplier for your Unique Bonus. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing.
<li> In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF5B60">Wolf</font> questions, the {sd} can act in three different ways. For the most common answer, it turns the answer from something that scores Reverse points into a question that scores Sheep points and adds +1 to your Multiplier. For the less-common answers, it adds +1 to the Multiplier for each other person with your answer that also used a dunk. If your answer is wrong, it does nothing.</ul>

I think I am the only person who liked the wolf questions. Some of those Bus games got so complicated to score, you could have the total from the last question and all of the answers to the next question and have no idea what your score was going to be. There were so many changes in player positions. I loved it.

Yeah the dunk usage combined with the wolf questions were what threw me off. The Bus added another kind of question too but I forget what it was.

Wasn't it cromulent or something like that? Bus really was the Jedi Master of Sheepmasters.

<li> NEW! Cromulent Questions. Some questions, marked as <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF5B60">C:</font>, are perfectly Cromulent, and are designed to embiggen the scores of some players. Think of them as a Sheep / Reverse Sheep hybrid. The most common answer is scored via Reverse rules. All other answers are scored via Sheep rules. Example below:
Spoiler:

Suppose the question is as follows:

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF5B60">C:</font> <b>Name a color.</b>

And the answers were:

The Boss, Harpo, FasonJ, grapefanta18: Blue
greendayispunk93, ChinatownWarsCorvin, Road Dog: Red
VenVoga, Pharoahe: Yellow
Venusian: Black

Answers are scored as follows:
Blue: +4
Red: -3
Yellow: -2
Black: 0

The bottom line is you want an answer that is common, but not too common. As in Sheep, there are no wrong answers, although wrong answers are likely to give you no points.

:lol: Man, I do miss those games. The scoring got so crazy. Having run my fair share of the sheep games, I have gained so much respect for The Bus and what he did in those.

wishbone 06-04-13 02:03 PM

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
 
And he tabulated a player's position changes (+/-) during the scoring results too.

"He worked in Sheep the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master."

I plan to score tonight and start tomorrow afternoon. But first I have some questions…

ivelostr2 06-05-13 10:05 AM

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
 
1. I need to do a little research on what moves center around rape…Im pretty sure the only person raped in Armageddon was the audience.
2. Is there a precedent for answering “I don’t have a favorite” on a reverse sheep, which is your favorite question?

1. I read it as the a good portion of the plot has to revolve around rape. The Accused revolves around a rape, Observe and Report just features a rape.

2. That isn't a answer in terms of the game, it should count as wrong.

I realized later that I totally blew the obvious answer to this question. :doh:

A good reason for not having "favorites" be Reverse questions. :lol: But I agree it should be considered wrong.

No rape in Armageddon except for the quick cut button.
That is a wrong (and really bad) answer.

cruzness 06-06-13 12:01 AM

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
 
Everyone was raped on Armageddon. Even the camera work was rapey. It was constantly moving in and pulling out in a lecherous way.
