Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Yes, many thanks to Tracer. I had no idea these were going on elsewhere in the forums because this is pretty much the only place I hang out on the site. It's a pretty damned fun game I hope somebody does continue.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Congrats, Groucho!

And thanks for running this, Tracer! It was such fun! I know it's a lot of work.

Having come in 2nd to last in the movie one today, I was thrilled to be #3 for a while here. But alas a couple of them (namely the network which changed its name) didn't go my way.

Why not cap the questions instead?

Fewer questions doesn't really work for these games. 15 questions is actually on the low end.

Otherwise, all you East Coasters will likely grab the spots while I'm still sleeping.

About two days after submitting my answers, I realized I made a huge mistake.

As said nemesis, I agree with orangecrush. I ran one of these in Comic Book Talk with about 25 players and it was a pain -- I can't imagine it with 60 players. Thanks for doing it.

Well done, Tracer Bullet.

And craps to me who did respectable until I put down Steve Martin instead of Will Farrell and Tim Allen instead of Jerry Seinfeld! Geesh.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Wow - tied for third. This will be my best finish in any possible sheep game so now I think I should never play again. Thank you very much for running this one Tracer!

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Okay everyone, I have Round 2 ready. I must be fucking insane.

It'll be posted tomorrow, and is capped at 30 players (not including myself). I'm going to post it at a time when east coasters, midwesterners, west coasters, and island-dwellers should all have a pretty equal chance at getting to play.

Holy crap, I tied for 5th! Appropriate since the 5th is my favorite amendment (yay double jeopardy!)


Nice job, Tracer!

Crap! I'm in meetings for much of the day tomorrow. I might miss my chance to play.
