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 Sheep questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier.
In Reverse Sheep 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.

Holy shit, the return of Sheep!

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! 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?

Yeah, that question makes me feel icky.

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.

Horrible answers submitted!

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

Ah, a protest wrong answer. If nothing comes to mind, that could be a plan 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.

Yeah! Sheep!

Answers in.

Answers sent. Thanks for putting this together, Crocker.

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.

No wrong answers in Sheep!

Answers submitted

Obvious answer is obvious.

Held back a grade answers submitted, thanks!

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.
