Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
Here's all the usual info:

Intro for first time players
Spoiler:

Sheep is a game that is part Family Feud, part trivia game. The object of the game is to outwit other players through a series of questions that are usually united in theme. There are two types of questions.

The first, Sheep, is one where you try to think like everyone else and match their answers. The more people you match, the better you do. Let's say we have a game of six players (A through F). A Sheep question might be something like "Name a great color." Sheep questions never have right or wrong answers. Let's say our five players answered like this:

Players A, C, and E said "Blue"
Players B and D said "Green"
Player F said "Chartreuse"

Scoring in Sheep games is like golf: the lower your score, the better. The "Blue" players get -3 points (and the best answer). The "Green" players get -2 points. Player F did not match anyone and gets 0 points.

The second type of question, Reverse Sheep, is the exact opposite. You want to avoid matching other players. A Reverse Sheep question might be something like "Name a state on the Atlantic Coast." Reverse Sheep questions always have right or wrong answers. Let's say our players answered like this:

Players D and E said "Delaware"
Players F and B said "Maine"
Player C said "Texas"
Player A said "South Carolina"

The "Delaware" players get +2 points (a penalty, since you want to have a low score). The "Maine" players also get +2 points. Player C's answer might be debated among the players to see if it is considered correct or not. Wrong answers always score above the most common answer. You're always better off going for something obvious than for something obviously wrong.

That's the gist of it. Each person running a game adds little rules here and there but those are the basics.


General Rules
Spoiler:

<ul><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 a professional golfer." A good answer might be Tiger Woods and a bad answer might be Chichi Rodriguez.
<li> Example <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</font> question: "Name a play by Shakespeare." Romeo & Juliet might be a bad answer, but Two Gentlemen of Verona might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
<li> Scores are tallied according to the number of players answering that question. Sheep answers are tallied as negative. Reverse Sheep answers are tallied as positive. The lowest score wins.
<li> There is no such thing as wrong answer for a Sheep question. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer.
<li> You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
<li> Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place one answer per line, without numbers, set info, or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat.
<li> Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
<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>.
</ul>


Game-Specific Rules
Spoiler:

<li> Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
1 Unique is awarded -15
2 Uniques are awarded -10 each
3 Uniques are awarded -6 each
4 Uniques are awarded -3 each
5+ Uniques are awarded -1 each
Slam Dunks {sd} Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}s) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use them in:
In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">Sheep</FONT> questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier. Due to stacked Slam Dunks becoming a bit too powerful in these games, I’m limiting them to 1 slam dunk per question. If you place more than that on a single question, the additional Slam Dunks will not count.
In <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">Reverse Sheep</FONT> questions, you can use a single {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing. If you stack {sd}'s, it will turn the score back into a reverse sheep question.

I will also correct mistakes you may have made when originally sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points. [/b]



All questions are pertaining to the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), and so should your answers.

Submitted.

I was stumped on the slam dunks. Usually there is one or two questions that are clearly the one to choose. I don't think there's a guaranteed winner in this list of questions.

fumanstan 05-09-13 02:04 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
I thought there were 2 or 3 that I hoped everyone would answer. But you never know with these games.

cnicholls44 05-09-13 02:06 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
speaking of slam dunks, some of you did not read the rules. 1 slam dunk per question.

Michael Corvin 05-09-13 02:22 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
Seriously? Boo. :down:

No offense, but you need to give a better heads up than burying it in the general rules that are copied from every sheep game.

cnicholls44 05-09-13 02:24 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
it was in the game specific rules section

Michael Corvin 05-09-13 03:07 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
So how many failed to read that section?

Hailey G 05-09-13 03:16 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
When's the last time you played one of these games, and did you limit your stacking at all, or did you think you can go all in? Because pretty much all of the recent games (since brainee's horror sheep game) have had dunk limitations of no more than 2, and the most recent game before this one (Rockmjd's Religion sheep) also had the 1 dunk limitation.

The last ones I did were the last VG sheep and the TV Sci-fi one, both in Jan. Neither had any restrictions. :sad:

Yeah, though I did put it in large letters I think.

Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
I've always been interested in this :

I'm 45. When the NES and SNES (and Sega Genesis) systems were popular, I was in College and medical school I guess. That was an era when adults didn't play video games (at least not like they do today). Nobody in my dorms had a gaming system and only one med school friend owned a SNES. As a result I have no NES knowledge or nostalgia. Are most of the folks here who know about this stuff younger than forty so they were still kids when these systems were popular, or was it just a period of gaming that I missed out on entirely?

Working on answers.

I'm 33, Decker, so I may have been the prime target for the NES, maybe a little bit younger.

Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
Nope I'm 38 and it released when I was nine or ten. Targeted for my age group I thought. BTW I'll have my answers in tonight.

shumway 05-09-13 06:46 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
35 here. It was my first gaming system. I have nothing but love and fond memories of the NES era.

fumanstan 05-09-13 06:53 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
I'm 30, was a pretty big deal when I first got an NES. Not sure when that was though, must have been in the late 80's.

Crocker Jarmen 05-09-13 06:57 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
34, although if it wasn't for the Angry Video Game Nerd videos I would have forgotten everything I used to know about NES (which wasn't that much to begin with).

This is the first time I found myself cursing that I had one slam dunk left at the end of the questions :lol: I agree they were hard to place on this one.

Music 05-09-13 07:02 PM
Re: Legend of Sheep: Nintendo (NES) Sheep
 
uh oh... I forgot about the effect of {sd} on reverse questions... this should be interesting...
