Sheep - a forum game

[Hooray]

So this next round is technically a bit like reverse sheep? But you also score well for getting the top answer?

Eg: Man Utd player

Rooney - 10
Van Persie - 7
Mata - 4
Di Maria - 4
De Gea - 3
Aces
Carrick - (would be worth 15)
Valencia - (would also be worth 15)
Messi - (would be an ace but only worth an ace as it's incorrect)

Is that right?

 

[blade1889]

yes that's correct

That's how I worked it out yeah

 

[Hooray]

Hmm, that makes this round pretty tricky! No idea which way to approach it, as if someone goes for the same correct ace as you then you're gonna end up with just a couple of points on a question.

Interesting twist

 

[blade1889]

just a quick note on the rich list. If someone I down as "Blade1889 and family" then I will only accept Blade1889 as a correct answer

 

[Van Der Graaf]

Doh! Thought because of the Cup draw I needn't have sent in any results

 

[Posh Hammer]

Kind of glad Cardsfan lost his cup match after his extremely dubious cup draw! Nothing I could do about my match up with Ciderhead. He's got this season in the bag already and fancy him for the cup as well.

Just messing.

 

[Cardsfan]

I know

 

[Richard Cranium]

I was doing so well until I changed my answer from Robert Pattison!

oi

 

[Ciderhead]

YEESSSS!!

After many near misses and 2nd places I've finally won a round of this! Thought I'd thrown it away again when velociraptor came up but luckily I got away with it

Bit of breathing space now at the top.. I'm still bound to screw it up somehow though

 

[Ciderhead]

In fact, I believe Steady and I went with exactly the same answers so, yeah, go him! What a cool guy

Stop that! I know what you're doing...

 

[Ciderhead]

Oh and great idea Blade, really interesting little twist! I mean, I hate it on the basis that I'm on a real purple patch and then you throw this curveball in and I've no idea how to approach it. But it's genius.

Do you risk going for an obscure one knowing just one person thinking along the same lines fucks you up? Or do you play it safe and go for the obvious sheep answer and hope consistency wins out? But if most people go for broke then the obvious answer won't score enough to make that worth it. Or it could even flip right around and the obvious answer ends up as an ace, while everyone going for the aces end up with the most popular answers. Or will enough people remember that tactic from reverse sheep to fuck that up. Tactics, tactics.............

Basically I don't have a clue

 

[Hooray]

I've decided on a tactic. Just hope it works

I've always liked you, Mr. Head.

 

[Crewelad87]

Really didnt know if to play it like normal or reverse sheep.

 

[This Charming Mike]

This is messing with my head.

 

[Ciderhead]

I've always liked you, Mr. Head.

If you ever need a route out of Team Adidas, just give us a shout..

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

I decided on a tactic that took into consideration that I'm abysmal at reverse sheep

 

[JonBCFC]

Someone's a little excited they won a round of sheep..

Fuck knows how to approach this round, good idea though.

 

[hodge]

Really like this idea, but the conference question is messing with my head big time

 

[Smally]

We're basically playing Pointless in this round

 

[Spirederman]

Bollocks. Can't believe I missed this yesterday, what with sitting my Peer Support Mentoring course, and the start of Rammy's game I totally forgot. Never mind, will be back for the next round. Just gutted to be out of the cup to a low scoring 126 from Jackinky.

 

[blade1889]

25 sets of answers in so far.

been interesting watching them come in...just spent nearly 2hours sorting out the ones I've had in so far

hopefully should be ready to get them posted up soon after 12...having a house party tonight so kinda depends how well that goes and whether my head is as much of a mess as our kitchen probably will be

 

[MagpieBee]

Really not hopeful of a good score here

 

[Spirederman]

Really not hopeful of a good score here

Me neither.
Those were really tough questions for a round of Sheep, even without the twist.

 

[Ciderhead]

Reckon this will be very tight, with just a few points separating just about everybody
