Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
Just saw this. I'll submit answers shortly.
Not to criticize, but you are a terrible person for making question #15 X7.

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
Wolf Questions. Some questions, marked as W:, 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:
W: Name a fruit.
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.

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
I'll send in some answers around 12:30 Pacific if there's still room.
Don't forget about this aspect of Wolf questions
:
NEW! Slam Dunks {sd} Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}s) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. You can only use one per question. Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use them in:
Don't forget about this aspect of Wolf questions
:- In Sheep questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier. You are allowed to use only one {sd}s per Sheep question.
- In Reverse Sheep questions, you can use a single {sd} to add +1 to everyone else's Multiplier (who has the same answer as you) while keeping your Multiplier at 1. 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.
- In Wolf 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.

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
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.

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
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.

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."

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?

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

But I agree it should be considered wrong.

That is a wrong (and really bad) answer.

Everyone was raped on Armageddon. Even the camera work was rapey. It was constantly moving in and pulling out in a lecherous way.
