The Dawn of the Third Age of Sheep Games: Babylon 5 Sheep

<ul>Rules 
<li> The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
<li> Example Sheep question: "Name any character from Babylon 5." A good answer might be Delenn and a bad answer might be Captain Sisko.
<li> Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name an alien species that appeared on Babylon 5". Minbari might be a bad answer, but Vendrizi might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
<li> Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins.
<li> The answers to each question are tallied up. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer. This penalty is multiplied by the Lightning Round Multiplier. Wrong answers in Sheep are not penalized.
<li> 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 ×2 round and a +6 penalty in a ×3 round, and so on. In a sheep round, a wrong answer scores normally.
<li> You may not cheat by using Google, The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5, etc. Use only what's in your head.
<li> 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.
<li> For your convenience, <a href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/cartridgeblowers/Babylon_5_Sheep.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.
<li> Note: For the purposes of this game, Reverse Sheep answers will be determined to be correct or incorrect based on my whims. I can of course be swayed by evidence, argument, etc. However, a better way to curry favor is by giving me gifts. A particular favorite is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/McVities-Milk-Chocolate-HobNobs-9oz/dp/B000HY57AW">chocolate hobnobs</a>. PM me for my address.
<li> Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.
<li> NEW! There are no Equalizer Question(s). They are stupid and I hate them.
<li> I would like to get at least 20 players, so I don't have a time frame set for this one. Under no circumstances will I take more than 35 (this excludes your game runner, of course).
<li> Special thanks goes out to The Bus for providing the formatting, rules, etc. for me to steal.
