Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2
 
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ve/sheepTV.jpg

Oh man... I'm doing this again.

* The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common ("Sheep") or unique ("Reverse Sheep"), but still correct.
* Example Sheep question: "Name a popular reality television series." A good answer would be American Idol and a bad answer might be Petticoat Junction.
* Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name one United States over-the-air broadcast television network." NBC might be a bad answer, but PAX might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
* The answers to each question are tallied up.Sheep answers are scored by how many people gave any particular answer, with unique answers being worth 0 points. Wrong answers are not penalized in Sheep. In Reverse Sheep answers are also scored this way. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer. This penalty is multiplied by the Lightning Round Multiplier.
* You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
* Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins.
* New! Certain rounds are considered Lightning Rounds (designated by a multiplier, such as ×2). In these rounds, scores are adjusted by the number on the multiplier. A wrong answer still gets a +4 penalty in a x2 round and a +6 penalty in a x3 round. In a Sheep round, a wrong answer scores normally.
* Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Those who do not do this will be penalized 10 points right off the bat. If your name is Rypro 525 I am also going to beat you with that bat.
* For your convenience, <a href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/cartridgeblowers/tv_sheep_round_2.xls">I've made an Excel file</a> where you can prepare your answers. When finished, just select the column of answers and send that in as text via PM. Don't email me the Excel file, that would be silly. (Google version here).
*New! The game is capped at 30 players.
* You have until at least Friday, July 3, at 5:00PM EDT to send in answers. The game will begin sometime in the next few days. I wouldn't wait, though- round 1 had 60 players and remember, this round is capped at 30.
*Special thanks to The Bus for providing some questions!
* Good luck!

Game is CLOSED.

Who's the geek who came up with these sheep questions?

The Bus came up with 3 of them. I came up with the other 7.

this is honestly insanely difficult and on some of them I have no idea what even one right answer is, yet alone one that others won't think of. Can't wait to see the results

#3 is in present tense, so we're talking current anchors, or is it meant to be any anchor?

Good question. It's any anchor, past or present.

Damn those were tough questions. Expect a lot of goofy answers as I have no idea what the correct answers are. :shrug:

Yikes, this is going to be embarrassing. I don't even understand the reference for one of the questions.

No, I'm not that sadistic.

I'm in! Did I make the 30!? Did I!?!

Actually I think I've just warmed up to limiting the player list. If you want to play, you are forced to get your answers in instead of dwelling on the best answers for each for a few days. Coupled with the tougher questions, this one will be interesting to watch unfold.
