Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
Inspired by Abob Teff, I’ve decided to take my first stab at running a SHEEP game. Like him, I’d like to get at least 15 players. So, turn on your desk lamp and bounce your favorite yellow ball, because today we’re gonna tackle PIXAR.
https://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/u...ct16.14722.jpg Intro for first time players Spoiler:
General Rules Spoiler:
Game-Specific Rules Only previously-released PIXAR movies, and the soon-to-be released FINDING DORY are eligible for answers. No other announced-but-not-yet-released PIXAR movies will be acceptable answers, and PIXAR SHORTS are ineligible as well. Make sure you are specific in your answers (provide everything I need to know what answer you are providing – i.e., the actor, character, film, etc.). Vague answers with multiple interpretations will receive a 5 point penalty. Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
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:
And another reminder: Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Do not forget your {sd}. Sometimes I notice and ask the player to re-send, and sometimes I don't, so to make things fair, if you forget to include them I won't be reminding you. <ol> <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Aside from Woody and Buzz Lightyear, name a toy character featured in the first TOY STORY. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Besides ants, name a species of animal featured in A BUG’S LIFE. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Name a character from MONSTERS, INC. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Name a Pixar character voiced by John Ratzenberger. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Aside from Nemo and Dory, name a character in FINDING NEMO. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> What is the very best PIXAR movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Aside from the members of the Parr family, name a character featured in THE INCREDIBLES. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Name a PIXAR movie that won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> PIXAR movies are known for tugging at the heart strings.

Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
Lots of questions say "name" a character. Do we have to know the names? (encouraging IMDb use) or is a clear identification enough?

Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
I'm assuming this is intended to be feature-length films only, but I'll ask -- are shorts eligible?
PS -- thank you and good luck! |

Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
brainee -- don't let this stop you from running your sci-fi game later this month! Looking forward to it!
Maybe not the right thread, but I guess that brings me to some questions I have on "Sheepmaster eitiquette" ... I know these will all be opinions, but: How long should a Sheep game go? How long should you allow for answers to be submitted? How many answers per day should a Sheepmaster post/how many days should the answers be drawn out? |
Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
Answers submitted. I hope everyone gets #9 correct. Though, I'm not ashamed to admit that I can recall nearly crying at a scene in 2 different Pixar movies.

Let's refrain from using the shorts. Which means devilshalo needs to change one of his answers.

Unless it's a reverse, he doesn't necessarily need to change his answer, it just might not be a very good answer.

How long should you allow for answers to be submitted? How many answers per day should a Sheepmaster post/how many days should the answers be drawn out? It shouldn't take more than two days to post everything. Never post on a weekend. Leave the games up at least a week, with a weekend in there for the very busy to send in their answers. Always extend the game if people ask for more time for answers. An extra day or two doesn't hurt if it brings in 5 or more players. |
Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
We're up to 12 players!

Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
Will try to send answers later today.
Length of a game depends on the complexity of the game and the available time of the Sheepmaster. A game of 20 questions generally takes me three days because I can't devote a whole day to it. Pictures, spoiler tags, and a wide variety of answers will take more time. Other people have reeled off complete games in one day. I usually try to reveal answers between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pacific time. I'm fine if a SM reveals in the evenings or on the weekends--especially if the alternative is no game at all--but they just need to realize that player interaction will be minimal during that time. I myself don't like to run games in a void so I try to stick to peak traffic times. There were a couple games (fantasy and Saturday morning cartoons) that ran while I was out of town so I followed on my phone but didn't comment much. I always felt bad about that. In general, the more players the better so I like to allow a number of days for people to send answers. But more players also makes for more work for the SM so it's reasonable to specify a limit. |
Re: Movie Talk (REVERSE) Sheep: PIXAR edition
Terrible (and I truly mean that) answers submitted. Despite seeing all the Pixar movies, my memory is fuzzy on the details on many of them. What the hell. All I have to lose is this game ... and my time ... and my pride :(

:D But seriously, if you've played sheep you know the kinds of things that work. No more than 2-3 days. Enough time for player comments ... not so much that people get impatient (though everyone understands that real-life interferes with sheep plans). As Abob I think discovered, it can help to do some prep-work before starting the answer reveals (like putting together some images/gifs/videos and having a handle on the scoring). It's not essential, and you always want to be ready to do things on the fly. But it's a timesaver. Nothing wrong with being open to submissions longer though. The more players the better. And some people check the forums less frequently than others (especially during vacation/holiday times). Oh, I hope no one interpreted my comment about whether I'll run a sci-fi sheep game or not as trying to discourage other games. It just is what it is. I have a bunch of questions written and I'll have the time for the last week and a half of the month. If enough people will want to play it, I'll run it (game announcement and question posting in a week, results and reveals a few days later). I guess if people are open to evening (Eastern time) reveals I can do it later in the year. Though there's a questions about Independence Day that I was kind of hoping to use (and wouldn't be as fun to use after July 4th). :D |
