The Return of Sheep - RESULT

by **seanmichaels** Wed 02 Dec 2015, 8:50 am

First topic message reminder :

Sheep is back albeit without the late (great) host paperbag_puncher.

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "culturally" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. You would PM me your answers for each round. So for example if in a sports round I asked name a boxing heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. There will be 10 questions in each round. Whoever gets the most points in each round of questions wins. There will be 5 rounds in each season provided the pilot is successful.

Points will be awarded to the first 5 players in each game no matter how many players.

1st -10
2nd-7
3rd-5
4th-3
5th-1

If there is a tie for a position players will get equal full points for their position, eg if 3 people tie for 1st then all 3 will get 10 points each. Games must have a minimum of 10 players. The winner of each season will be the person with most points after the 10 games. If level after 10 games the winner will be decided by how many 1st places a person had and so on.

Overall placings, and the new........

That's another reason why I love you, Serial. An equal opportunity employer. You'll take a soapy titw**k from all sorts of minority groups.

by 1GrumpyGolfer Fri 11 Dec 2015, 6:58 am

That's most likely due to Trev's t*ts no longer being attached to his body.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 9:00 am

Results tomorrow sometime or shall I leave till monday

by Alistair Fri 11 Dec 2015, 9:18 am

Today!

by **seanmichaels** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 9:44 am

It was a choice between lunchtime nap or results. Nap won out

by Stella Fri 11 Dec 2015, 9:48 am

Difficult round. At a guess, I'd say I know what the all time comedy, and animated show will be, but the rest?

by 1GrumpyGolfer Fri 11 Dec 2015, 11:04 am

Rushed this round this morning and f*cked it right up. Probably about 4 answers in keeping with the questions. picard

by **LondonTiger** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 11:57 am

damn missed this round as busy with work.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 11 Dec 2015, 12:57 pm

Sold out this round, played the demographic. Although Sean laughing at one of mine shows I may have misjudged just how old and grumpy I think some of you lot are.

Changing Big Brother cost me in that round.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 6:55 am

There will be 2 rounds this week, both worth double points!

by compelling and rich Mon 14 Dec 2015, 7:08 am

still dont get the scoring, thought you got as many points as people voted on all topics. so if the top pick got 10 but you got the second pick with 7 points you received 7 points? did on old sheep from what i can remember.

i got 47 points from just the top picks this round

by **seanmichaels** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 7:17 am

No, your score is based on the round totals. Only a correct pick (the most popular scores you points).

Then the top 5 from the round totals get 10, 7, 5, 3, 1 to go on the leaderboard.

So if you picked the following most poular answers, your score would be 32

Only Fools 8
Jon Snow 5
Life on Earth / Planet earth 4
CSI 4
Big Brother 11

Heep?

by **superflyweight** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:30 am

Heep is a head f**k Alistair. Bluff, double bluff and counter bluff.

by Alistair Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:31 am

So do you pick the most obscure? Lowest points total wins?

by Stella Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:34 am

Bum, I picked the second most popular for some reason?

by **superflyweight** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:41 am

Stella's got it right. You pick the answer you think will be the second most popular.

Knowing that this is the case tends to distort the answers though.

Revers Sheep is the game where you have to pick the most obscure answer.

by Stella Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:44 am

Sean has highlighted it up top. I must have subconsciously seen it.

by Alistair Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:51 am

Yeah, it didn't make sense! I've sussed it now, answers sent, same answer for two questions there.

by Stella Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:52 am

A shark as a pet?

by **superflyweight** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 8:54 am

Not sure how we're supposed to name a living dinosaur.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 9:02 am

Forget the living creature for Dinosaur. Just name a Dinosaur.

by **superflyweight** Mon 14 Dec 2015, 9:03 am

Dolphin Ziggler wrote:Worst pick so far?

Nadeem. He will go down in sheep legend.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 15 Dec 2015, 10:40 am

Cane did choose Dimmock for the garden bird but i'm sure he was messing. Nadeem I can't be sure.....

by Stella Tue 15 Dec 2015, 10:42 am

Dimmock? Nice t.its anyway

by **seanmichaels** Tue 15 Dec 2015, 10:46 am

Great t!ts.

Very common garden bird. Surpisingly not one person picked them.

by MIG Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:10 am

I will update table shortly. Final round will be normal sheep, with a pot luck theme. Question will go out tomorrow.

by Alistair Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:24 am

Sh*t round.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:28 am

As an aside, I hope Nadeem's Big Cat, Garfield, doesn't get out to his bird table and eat the visiting Coots.

by 1GrumpyGolfer Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:34 am

He must have a f*cking big garden to have enough water that coots can live there.

Garfield probably deserves comedy points

by MIG Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:35 am

Not exactly double points is it? More like 2.5 times the points. Just enough to get me off the top spot......

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:38 am

I think I went far too specific with actual snakes and spiders. I hope Tina did the same

by **seanmichaels** Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:38 am

MIG wrote:Not exactly double points is it? More like 2.5 times the points. Just enough to get me off the top spot......

I believe you will still be top (joint)

Same scoring system for final round so all to play for!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 15 Dec 2015, 11:39 am

It's a good thing I didn't read the bit about it being a heap round, so went with the most popular answers. First time I've scored points in the comp so far Laugh

maybe I should do the opposite for normal rounds and pick what I would expect to be the second most popular answers Headscratch

Since it's nearly Xmas, must say that this has been a superbly run comp michaels. Previous comp runners would still be making us wait for R2 at this point... clap
