Game-Specific Rules
- Questions referring to the main characters refer to Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine. The question referring to the "five principals" refers to the actors who played the main characters, as well as Larry David.

1 Unique is awarded -15
2 Uniques are awarded -10 each
3 Uniques are awarded -6 each
4 Uniques are awarded -3 each

- NEW! Cromulent Questions. Some questions, marked as C:, are perfectly Cromulent, and are designed to embiggen the scores of some players. Think of them as a Reverse Sheep question with elements of a Sheep Question. The most common answer is scored via Reverse rules. All other correct answers are scored via Sheep rules. Example below:
Spoiler:
The bottom line is you want an answer that is correct and common, but not too common.
The Questions
- S: In one or two words, name a subject of Jerry's observations (from the show itself or the stand-up clips during the opening or closing credits).
- S: Aside from Elaine, name someone that Jerry dated.
- S: Seinfeld occasionally had scenes set in countries other than the US. It also had a lot of characters who were specifically identified as coming from foreign countries. Name one of those countries.
- C: ×2 Name a real-life product or brand that has been referenced in the show or played an important role in one or more episodes.
- R: Name a TV show that aired on NBC's "Must See TV" alongside Seinfeld.
- S: Name a character who lived in the Del Boca Vista condos.
- S: Name a non-animated film that any actor from Seinfeld has been in.
- R: Name a character who is related to one of the main characters.
- S: Name one of Newman's and Kramer's get-rich-quick schemes.
- S: Name Kramer's most famous "job" or occupation.
- C: ×2 Name an individual, group, or company that was sued by Jackie Chiles.
- S: Aside from Jonathan Wolff's slap-bass theme music, name a song that was featured in Seinfeld.
- S: ×2 Aside from the main characters, name someone who would be at the diner.
- R: ×3 In the episode "The Pool Guy", Elaine suggests becoming friends with Susan, which prompts George being worried about worlds colliding. In the episode he describes himself to Jerry using different terms (Baseball George, Friendship George). Name one of those Georges.
- S: ×3 Name one of the practices or rituals of Festivus.
- R: ×3 Name an alias used by any of the main characters. (Hints: Think of a famous industrialist or an importer-exporter).
- R: ×4 Name a fictional movie referenced in Seinfeld.
- R: ×4 Name one of George's or Elaine's bosses that were in three or more episodes.
- S: ×2 Name the quintessential Seinfeld term or catchphrase.
- R: ×5 Name a post-Seinfeld scripted television show that one of the five principals had a starring role in.
- S: ×3 Bro or Mansiere?
- R: ×15 Name a character in the series whose first and/or last name is given and who appeared (not just voice only) in more than one episode.
The Soup Nazi, the Pig Man, or the Bubble Boy would be a wrong answer. There's over 60 correct answers. If you provide a description, please make it very, very clear.
I am this time, absolutely, seriously, capping the game at 23 players. I am estimating the spots will run out in two hours or so. I am giving everyone here a forewarning. The only players who have a guaranteed spot above and beyond those initial 23 are the following people, who have run Sheep games before:
JasonF
Jeremy517
Mordred
Rockmjd23
the big train
Tracer Bullet
As well as yours truly, making 30 players. See you very soon and good luck!

Clarification: As always, if you can get me a good description of a character, I will accept it, even if you're not sure of the name.

Five years ago, I would have done really well at this. Now, I'm not so sure. Some of these will be hard for me to answer.
