Sheep: the RESHEEPENING (Round 9: Pokemon Reverse Sheep QUESTIONS CLOSED)

second is okay i guess




i'm coming for you

Middle of the pack, ordinary death

Slaughtered for mutton

OP has a more readable Sheep Leaderboard now. And you too can be on it!

Just ask. I might put you on, nobody has to know you didn't actually win.

I'm glad you enjoy this because if it were me, I'd want to play way more than I'd want to run it. I like how consistently we have sheep on the forum.

Haha wow, I did real bad this round.

I feel like this version didn't work out quite as well as the previous versions but I did really enjoy the thousand-car-pileup-esque nature of a few of the questions.

I liked it. Like, yeah, it was a bit disastrous, but i'd argue in a good way. A very slight misstep could ruin you and by the nature of sheep, you're bringing a lot of people with you, it's great.

Well, looking at the point totals, I floated the idea on IRC yesterday of REVERSE HIPSTER SHEEP. Which sounds like too many adjectives BUT THE BASE OF IT IS, just, what this round was but Reverse Sheep. By that I mean, the goal would be to get the least amount of points, and the Sheep Answer awards you 0 points. It makes each individual question have a strong strategic element to it, as getting the Sheep Answer is the strongest play, but if you miss you might end up with points. I will probably have to use some deterrent for the "15 Aces" strategy (Not that I don't want to allow cool strategies, but simply to make the game playable). Forcing "Validity" seems like the easy choice, but I'm more partial to having an Ace limit, where you get penalty points for each Ace past your limit (If the limit was 10, you'd get penalty points for Aces 11-15). Not 100% how I'd do it, really, but its a fun concept. If I do run a round of this, I'm gonna do something special with it to make up for having a possibly shit round.

RUDE SHEEP LEADERBOARD:
GATR

late to the party, here's my commentary as i read through

i like my special little category on question 4 for being the best at sheep

champagne with flakes of gold in is a really funny answer that i like a lot

i completely forgot about nutella actually. don't know if that would have changed my answer though.

high five reecer!

teachers, parents and mothers confirmed for orcs, elves, and dwarves, respectively.

i knew you losers would forget about obvious junk like hair and nails, owned. i count that question as a win even though i aced it

And finally, congrats Shredded!!!

9th is acceptable for a first Sheep position. My plan of choosing the most popular options hoping everyone would not go for the most popular options and in doing so making them second most popular...

...didn't work out so hot.

Well except Let it Go.

Okay I can explain the Whiterose answer I fucked up but I can explain:

So there's a chain of supermarkets in Britain call Waitrose which is known for having high end luxury snacks. Buuuut I accidentally typed in Whiterose which happens to be a shopping complex in Leeds, an answer so obscure there is no way in hell anyone would also write it. The whole point is rendered moot anyway since no one else answered a named chain of store so EITHER WAY i'm the ace of spades.

@ #10: I'd say

Well fuck.

I have no choice but to burn all my scarves now. My mainstream face doesn't deserve them anymore.

It's ok granola if we both wear scarves and plaid it's the new normcore

This does mean we have to coordinate our wardrobes from here on out but I'm sure we can rock each other's looks without too much hassle

Standard scoring rules for this one?

These questions are difficult

The last question took me the longest and ended up having what I felt was the most obvious answer of all.

Standard scoring rules for this one?

Yes this is Regular Sheep.

I'm going to be last on this one. I feel it in my bones.

Or at least, not be in the top half. Admittedly, there's a big difference between these two.

I'm gonna close off signup and start the counts sometime tomorrow, so if you want to play and haven't entered, PM me those answers.

That means you, Slorange >:c

shit shit shit

im sending

Alright cutoff time is here.

I think we got 20 Sheeps this round? I could be wrong I only did a quick PM count.
