Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

At the risk of Sheep overload, here's ANOTHER game! NOT!!
<!--

<ul>Rules<br>
<li> The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font>) or least common (<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font>), but still correct.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</font> question: "Name any world from Babylon 5." A good answer might be Minbar and a bad answer might be Cartoon Planet.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> question: "Name a food product that appeared on Babylon 5". Spoo might be a bad answer, but Swedish Meatballs 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 <u>number on the multiplier</u>. 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 use Google or other web tools to help you if you're stuck, but if you do it will cost you 5 points. This will be on the honor system - please-self declare if you used an aid when you submit your picks.
<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 5 points right off the bat.
<li> For your convenience, <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=t8inEaZt6OgpFIJ66QkVPjQ">I've posted a spreadsheet to Google</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 stupid.
<li> Note: For the purposes of this game, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> answers will be determined to be correct or incorrect based on my whims. If necessary, I will ask Kosh for help, but my decision will be final.
<li> Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font>, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font>.
<li> NEW RULE: I have broken the questions into three "story arcs". Players who finish among (or tied with) the top 5 scorers for the question of that arc will be awarded -5 bonus points for the first arc, -10 for the second, and -15 for the third.
<li> Special thanks goes out to The Bus for providing the formatting, rules, etc. for me to steal, and to Tracer Bullet for the first Babylon 5 game, which I shall retroactively subtitle "Signs and Portents".
</ul>

Note: I will NOT start this game until the Lost game has begun and is well under way. But I will be happy to accept entries as long as my in box doesn't fill.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

This one is a lot harder than the last one. I can probably only answer half of these.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

I will try to play this but I am coming in last or worse than last. You should accept Googling in this one. :lol:

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Wow, another B5 Sheep coming out of nowhere! Awesome!

I don't even think this is that hard. I don't think I like what that says about me.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

FYI, you posted your spreadsheet as HTML so there's no way to save a copy for editing.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Dang! This one is hard. But I gave it my best.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Sorry 'bout that. This is my first try at using Google for publishing docs, I'll go see what I can do about fixing it.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Concur.

Sitting back and looking at the questions - some of them do appear pretty darned hard, and I don't want to intimidate folks out of playing.

Let's do this. If you want to Google, it'll cost you a mere 5 points. We'll do this on the honor system - I will assume you didn't Google unless you tell me. And I'll up the "Story Arc Bonus" from 5 per round to 5-10-15.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

I think it's fixed. Someone please test it.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Well, due to underwhelming demand, we're gonna shelve Round II and let people detox from all this sheep stuff. I can resurrect this thread at any time in the future, hopefully before the third age of mankind dawns upon us all.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

kenbuzz, I'm going to send answers tomorrow, unless you want me to hold off.

I thought B5 would get more love around here as well. :(

Two games and I've had my fill of sheep for a long while.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Spoken like a man with a challenging job and/or no internet access at work.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Yay! Google allowed! I will have my PM in before the end of the day.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

I would like to get in on this one but it says I am not allowed access to the spreadsheet.

Edit: Answers sent anyway. I hope they're formatted the right way.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Wow. Talk about a toughy. I watched the show for much of its run, but havent seen it in years. I have no idea what the answer is to any of these questions, unfortunately.

Re: Babylon 5 Sheep - ROUND II - Babylon Squared
 

Sorry, guys.... the return-of-B5 sheep game has been shelved for a while. Too many sheep too often, people are burned out.

I'm gonna take down the original questions. Again, sorry.
