I'm surprised anyone remembered this one

Arpeggi

0 for Ash sounds fair

Cabman Gray

Not me.

cnicholls44

it should be 0

Shannon Nutt

Haven't seen your name yet? You did well!

Ash Ketchum

I'm really confused. I used the Slams only on the Reverse ones I was sure would be uniques. So why am I getting penalized for them? I thought that's what the Slam Dunks were for!

Shannon Nutt

Okay...before we go on, is that the correct way to tally reverse questions? Wasn't sure if the unique score was in addition to the total number of uniques or just a flat score.

wishbone

Looks correct.

hasslein

If you did that Ash, you definitely want to lose them. You only want to use a slam on reverse if you think a lot of people will say it, in other words, a bad (but correct) reverse answer, that will turn it into sheep.

Edit: I forgot about stacking... another ballgame there.

devilshalo

Fuck all of you for question 1.

Shannon Nutt

"In Reverse Sheep questions, you can use a single {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing. If you stack {sd}'s, it will turn the score back into a reverse sheep question."

Since turning it into a sheep question meant that no one matched your answer, you got what you would have got if it were a sheep question: Zero.

Shannon Nutt

Thanks!

wishbone

In games past it just meant that you wasted a slam dunk -- it didn't change the unique score.

If that was the purpose then it should be stated in the rules for the particular game.

Obi-Wanma

That's not right at all.

You mainly want to use them on Sheep questions that you think will have the most number of common answers. It will then multiply your score.

You only would want to use it on a reverse if there's only one answer you can come up with, and you're pretty sure a lot of other people will have the same problelm. Thus turning your bad answer, into a good answer.

Meglos

I prefer For a Few Dollars More, too, but figured GBU would be the proper answer.

Crocker Jarmen

You don't a Slam Dunk a unique reverse. That makes it worth 0.

A Slam Dunk on a Reverse Question turns it into a Sheep Question, meaning you only play Slam Dunks on Reverse Questions as part of a strategy. Like let's say the Reverse Question asks for a character from Star Wars, but the only character you know is Darth Vadar. You could make a guess, but you are pretty sure you will be wrong and lose a lot of points. So you pick Darth Vadar but Slam Dunk it, making it a Sheep Question, so now the four other people who picked Darth Vadar make it a -5 for you instead of a +5.

Ideally, you would save your Slam Dunks for Sheep Questions where you are confident you have picked the Sheepiest Answer.

03. R: Clint doesn't always star in the movies he directs. Name a movie directed by Clint Eastwood in which Eastwood is NOT an actor.

Shannon Nutt

This is a popular answer today

Shannon Nutt

And, of course, anything with this girl is going to bring in the sheep

Shannon Nutt

Might as well get this one out of the way...

Shannon Nutt

Hey, someone out there actually remembers this movie

Shannon Nutt

Eastwood directed two movies about the Battle of Iwo Jima. Which one proved more unique?

wishbone

Nope...

Shannon Nutt

There were three uniques for this question. You've seen one of them already...
