Movie Sheep - Choose Your Own Adventure aka I'm Lazy Edition



Welcome to Movie Sheep - Choose Your Own Adventure Edition!

Intro for first time players
Spoiler:
(Reverse) Sheep is a game that is part Family Feud, part trivia game. The object of the game is to outwit other players through a series of questions that are usually united in theme. There are two types of questions.

The first, Sheep, is one where you try to think like everyone else and match their answers. The more people you match, the better you do. Let's say we have a game of six players (A through F). A Sheep question might be something like "Name a great color." Sheep questions never have right or wrong answers. Let's say our five players answered like this:
Players A, C, and E said "Blue"
Players B and D said "Green"
Player F said "Chartreuse"

Scoring in Sheep games is like golf: the lower your score, the better. The "Blue" players get -3 points (and the best answer). The "Green" players get -2 points. Player F did not match anyone and gets 0 points.

The second type of question, Reverse Sheep, is the exact opposite. You want to avoid matching other players. A Reverse Sheep question might be something like "Name a state on the Atlantic Coast." Reverse Sheep questions always have right or wrong answers. Let's say our players answered like this:

Players D and E said "Delaware"
Players F and B said "Maine"
Player C said "Texas"
Player A said "South Carolina"

The "Delaware" players get +2 points (a penalty, since you want to have a low score). The "Maine" players also get +2 points. Player C's answer might be debated among the players to see if it is considered correct or not. Wrong answers always score above the most common answer. You're always better off going for something obvious than for something obviously wrong.

That's the gist of it. Each person running a game adds little rules here and there but those are the basics.


General Rules
Spoiler:
The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
Example Sheep question: "Name a professional golfer." A good answer might be Tiger Woods and a bad answer might be Chichi Rodriguez.
Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name a play by Shakespeare." Romeo & Juliet might be a bad answer, but Two Gentlemen of Verona might be a good answer, unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible.
Scores are tallied according to the number of players answering that question. Sheep answers are tallied as negative. Reverse Sheep answers are tallied as positive. The lowest score wins.
There is no such thing as wrong answer for a Sheep question.
Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer.
You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers, set info, or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat.
Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.


Game-Specific Rules - Slam dunks, etc! -
Spoiler:
Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
1 Unique is awarded -15
2 Uniques are awarded -10 each
3 Uniques are awarded -6 each
4 Uniques are awarded -3 each
5+ Uniques are awarded -1 each
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. Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use them in:
In Sheep questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier. Due to stacked Slam Dunks becoming a bit too powerful in these games, I’m limiting the stacking to ONE on any given question. If you place more than ONE on a single question, the additional Slam Dunks will not count. Again, no slam dunks stacking at all!
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.
I will correct mistakes made when sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points.


Other notes and rules that I made up.
- For Sheep questions, if your answer is not specific enough, I will PM you for clarification. If you do not respond, you will be given a score of zero for your answer.

- For Reverse Sheep questions, if your answer is not specific enough, I will PM you for clarification. If you do not respond, your answer will be counted as wrong.

- As is usual for film-related sheep games, let's limit answers to theatrically released films.

Ok. Now it's time to post the questions. Don't blame me if they are lousy, and I may have edited them slightly to make them work better.

Sorry, dude, I was just laughing at the laziness angle. I'm planning to send you a question.

Good idea having the players contribute a question. For people who have wanted to run a game but can't manage the time commitment, this is an excellent opportunity to use one of the great questions they've been sitting on.

I am getting a few sheep questions that have obvious answers to them. In fact there's one that I can only think of one answer to.

I had a few ideas but sent you the first one that had come to mind. Maybe I'll reserve the other two for a future Sheep game.

Just how lazy are you? I don't really care about the bonus, I was just sending ideas. I have narrowed it down to one.

I thought he might prefer having a choice, but apparently not, so I just sent one.

Well I didn't want to randomly choose one and then have you guys complain that I didn't pickthe good one. Luckily, in your case, they are all equally bad!

Re: Movie Sheep - Choose Your Own Adventure aka I'm Lazy Edition

Have you gotten enough questions to have an idea of when you'll start the game? And if you pick someone's question do they get a reserved spot in your game?

Wheeeeeee! My question didn't suck! This will be my first sheep game, so I probably won't do too well.

Ok I have 20 now. I'll compile the list and post them in a little while, and I'll let any stragglers send one in until then.
