SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/x...stecshilo.jpeg


Only two more weeks till September, so let's make the most of our remaining warm weather and sunny skies by playing some SHEEP: Summertime Fun Edition!


The basic rules:

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 (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</FONT>) or least common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</FONT>), but still correct.
Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</FONT> question: "Name a professional golfer." A good answer might be Tiger Woods and a bad answer might be Chichi Rodriguez.
Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</FONT> 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 10 points right off the bat.
Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</FONT>, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</FONT>.


Game-Specific Rules

To be considered correct, answers must be theatrically released feature films, no TV shows, shorts or webisodes.

Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
1 Unique is awarded -20
2 Uniques are awarded -15 each
3 Uniques are awarded -10 each
4 Uniques are awarded -5 each

Slam Dunks {sd} Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. Your Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use it on:
In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</FONT> questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier.
In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</FONT> questions, you can use your {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing.
Slam dunks cannot be stacked. Use one per question only or else they will be discarded. You cannot use two slam dunks to turn a Reverse into a Sheep and then slam dunk those sheep answers.





And the questions are...


01. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</FONT> Name a super-hero movie released this summer

02. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</FONT> Name a country visited by Indiana Jones

Holy shit, the return of Sheep! :dance:

I keep thinking about running another game but response has gotten so tepid that I question whether it's worth the time. I hope you get good response--I'll definitely participate.

Thanks for putting this together!

It's been so long, I have to go over the rules again to refresh my memory.

I can do this. Let me just give a little more thought to some of the questions.

How will you do the matching for #9? Some rides/attractions are from a movie series rather than one particular movie.

I haven't the foggiest idea for #8! :lol: While I generally remember Oscar winners, I'm drawing a complete blank for summer-releases. But if I'm reading correctly, a movie released in early May counts as a correct answer (even though Memorial Day weekend is generally considered the start of the summer season).

May is the start of the summer movie season now, because Marvel.

For the purposes of this question, summer is defined by May 1st to August 31st. As long as it's a theatrical release and not a festival screening it's good.

Sexiest role? Really? Do you want a character? A movie? -ohbfrank-

People can name the character or the movie, they'll be matched together during scoring.

How about this question? Will someone who answers a movie series match those who name a specific movie in that series?

I had the matrix 2 for number 11 for 5 minutes til I noticed what I'd done.

Yes. I'll be matching the answers based on the movie/movies in question, not whatever the specific ride is.

It's Sheep. If you want the points, pick the most obvous movie.

I'm just going to pretend that Boyhood won the Oscar like it should have.

My concern was that answers of a movie series wouldn't match an answer of a specific movie in that series. Though Crocker said he wouldn't do it like that :thumbsup:

Ah, a protest wrong answer. If nothing comes to mind, that could be a plan :D My pretend summer Oscar-winner would be Raiders of the Lost Ark.

EDIT: answers submitted! I don't think my answers are bad, but I had no clue how to play the slams for this one.

Unlike sheep questions, reverse questions can be counted wrong though and will count against your score.

I pay very little attention to the Oscars, and I had no idea what movies won so I just took a wild guess at that question and hope I am right.

I also never saw Grease, so I took a wild guess at that question too.

Question 3, are you looking for specific places (like a monument or building) or countries?

I was wondering the same thing, but he does specify "country" in the prior question, so I went ahead and assumed a specific place.

I'm aware of this, but I just thought I'd try and get Sheepmaster's thoughts on where he was going with the question. Also, to be 100% honest, I thought the question might inspire others to post hints about how they answered it. ;)
