(low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
I recognize that Criterions may be a niche, so I am including a list of Criterion films and their directors in the next post that you can use as a reference to answer the questions. This list is intended as a crutch for those of you who aren't as well versed in the Criterion Collection as others. Those of you who are well versed in the Criterion Collection should not think of it as a restriction. The questions were written with the DVD collection in mind, but I will accept answers from the laser disc collection as well. Just know that the same movie released multiple times will not count as multiple movies for that director. Also be sure to read the game specific rules. NO SLAM DUNKS…but I added multipliers Here's all the usual info: Intro for first time players Spoiler:
General Rules Spoiler:
Game-Specific Rules Spoiler:
And another reminder: Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat. I will also correct mistakes you may have made when originally sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points. I plan on taking the usual 20-25 entrants. I will post when the entries are closed (though will make special dispensations for anyone who has run a Sheep game in the past).</s> I plan to start this sheep on Tuesday or Wednesday (6/4 or 6/5) in the afternoon EST Now on to the questions! <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font>1. x2 Name someone who directed 10 or more films included in the criterion collection.

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
You don't say, but are we only to work from the DVD list you provide and ignore any film that appeared only in the collection on laser disc?

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
Is #5 the director personally or their films?
|
Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
Answers sent. On #5 I gave two options depending on how you interpret the question.
|
Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
I wasn't sure if question 5 meant "fucks" in the commentary or the film itself, but had I the same answer for both.
|
Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep

Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep

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

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. Somewhere The Bus is still laughing at us... |

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 :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. <li> In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> 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. <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> |

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.

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. </ul> |
Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
: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.

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." |
Re: (low class and high score) Criterion Sheep
Okay, this is the list so far:
Arpeggie BambooLounge Boba Fett CNicholls44 Crocker Jarmen Damfino dhmac hasselein ivelostr2 Jules Winfield Kal Varnsen Obi-Wan Jabroni orangecrush Rocket1312 Rockmjd23 sauce07 Shannon Nutt Sleepyhead55 TBC there are 2 more who are planning to send me answers tonight, so that will give us 21.
