Yeah, screw using one on a Reverse question.

You'd be able to see it on a DVD set, or if the show is on Hulu or elsewhere. Or Google for "limited commercial interruption" plus the show's name.

Is that right?
No. Using a {sw} on a Reverse can hurt others and protect you from others using it on you. It also increases the unique bonus.

    Your right, I was thinking the rule was the same as Bus'. I have no idea how using one on a Reverse question can help you (aside from having a unique).

    "Each player gets the ability to give a ×2 multiplier to one question from each set."

    "You may use them any way you see fit- use one multiplier for a question in each set, double them up, or use all five on one question. Go nuts! Experiment!"
    Those two statements seem contradictory. The first one makes it sound like you can only use one {sw} on a single question in each "timeslot," but the second statement makes it sound like we have 5 {sw}'s to use however we see fit. I'm assuming the second one is the intended interpretation.

    You've got five sweeps. Your limits are: no more than question per timeslot can have sweeps. Seemed clear to me. That's how I read it.

    Yes, that is fine. As long as the main setting is not the United States, you're good.

    Space as in outer space? Well, its not the United States, so I don't see why not.

    I'd just like to point out ahead of time that I think the "incorrect" sheep answer = first "correct" sheep answer bonus rule is completely antithetical to the whole idea of sheep games, and therefore is stupid.

    I agree. It stemmed from a vocal minority who went bezerk when the top answer was incorrect on a few questions. Monopoly was one.

    Agreed. Some of my more "clever" answers have now been cock-blocked.

    In.

    Outstanding that you brought this back, Tracer. I don't feel good about one reverse sheep answer, but I think I did pretty well with the rest.

    Way to cock block my ultra-cool lateral thinking answer. Back to the drawing board.

    Regarding # 13, what is a "naturalistic setting?" Do you simply mean that it takes place in something like our world, or does it have to be set in a forrest or something?

    I think you couldn't be more wrong, Monopoly-lover.

    And no shit about the cockblock. People need to stop asking questions.
