SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition

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


General Rules


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...

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.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Thanks for putting this together!

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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).

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Yeah, that question makes me feel icky.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Horrible answers submitted! :)

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Yeah! Sheep!

Answers in.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

No wrong answers in Sheep! :)

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Answers submitted

Obvious answer is obvious. :)

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Held back a grade answers submitted, thanks!

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

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. ;)

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

I figured this was the real reason. :lol:

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

winning answers submitted

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Well crap :( I had the opposite reaction ... since the previous question asked "country", my mind was still in country-mode.

Hopefully scoring will be consistent (if you're going to match clear general with more specific answers). If not, can I change my answer? Because I had a specific place in mind, but I thought the question was asking for a country.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Terrible answers including complete guesses submitted! :dance:

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Shitty answers submitted.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

I want to send mine but probably can't do it until later.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Answers submitted. Fingers crossed.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Fat kid at summer camp answers submitted!

Thank you Crocker Jarmin ... I was jonesing for some sheep! How difficult are these to run? I know I asked about an Archer game before, but I've been thinking a James Bond game could be good.

If someone resubmits their answers because they realized they made a mistake (by the way, some of you need to check your {sd}) I don't bother adding a penalty. If someone resubmits because they've decided they've come up with better answers I feel like there needs to be a penalty for that to discourage multiple re-enteries.

I haven't looked at the answers yet so I don't know for sure how they'll be grouped but I'm sure it will be reasonable.


They're more time consuming than difficult. You just need to be in a position where you're at the computer all day. I usually source all the pictures and write the posts up over the weekend, then cut and paste them on Game Day.

The hardest part is tabulating the score. I have a history of fucking that up, and usually need to be corrected a few times during play (which is always embarrassing).

I'm planning to start doing the answers on Monday, so anyone else who wishes to play still has a few days to submit answers.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

The funny thing about this is that I just mentioned on Tuesday that I missed sheep games.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

I'll submit mine later today

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

:dance:

I'll submit my answers later today.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Ditto, I'll submit later today.

Re: SHEEP GAME: Summertime Fun Edition
 

Very nice! If no one responded to this I was going to pretty much write off putting together another one myself. At least 20 is a good number.

I think there's some pretty big variation in how Sheepmasters do things. Some like to bang it out quickly ... other spread it out over several days. You can go all-out with putting together the results presentation. Or you can just go: question, answers, current standings, next question (and so on).

Crocker, I don't know if you ever saw the spreadsheet I put together for scoring these. I'm pretty sure it's still up at Google docs. I made it so that for each question you enter in each player's score, push a button, and have the current standings spit out in a little table.
