Same rules as usual (nearly):

• Submit your answers through PM to moi in an unnumbered list, A-Z
• No posting your list on the thread
• There are no wrong answers in sheep

The more people who choose the same answer as you, the better you score!


But wait, there’s more…

To make the game a little more interesting, I’m introducing a new trap dynamic. For every letter, I’ll pick a movie to be a trap, and if that answer sheeps, instead of getting the full score, you’ll only get the next highest score plus 1.

Example - for the letter M the trap movie is ‘Movie B’, if Movie B is the sheep and gets 16 points, but Movie A is second with 6, people who chose Movie B will only receive 7 points instead of 16.

All traps have already been chosen (by a committee of my colleagues) and will not change. Any questions on the trap mechanic feel free to ask below

Reveal will likely be the 24th, so get your entries in!

As always, have fun and bring your friends!

Note: if anyone wants to resubmit, please send your full updated list so it's less work for me. Am lazy. Plstnx

What happens if the trap doesn’t Sheep? Is it one next lowest +1?

tusk

If trap doesn't sheep, then nothing happens.

Traps only activate if they sheep

quickbeam

Okay. Still worth going for as they’ll be the highest scorer. Or at least, not worth avoiding.

The trap will keep the game tighter

Will get an entry in for this at some point. I've a few things on my plate at the moment if you hadn't noticed :pac:

But this sounds like fun

Rikand

It still pays off to go for the sheep as its still the sheep . just a low scoring one

sKeith

can you put an A-Z list in the OP or are we supposed to go to another alphabet game to rob it?

Sorry if this is one of those known-knowns, but do movies starting with "The" count as starting with T or with the first letter of the word following?

That's your decision to make.
you can enter the same movie multiple times under different letters.

Curse you Sheepers and your lack of distinct answers that require me to take responsibility for my own decisions! Curse you thrice!

I've not actually seen the film in question (which I won't name!) so sorry, that flew right over my head!

tusk

:pac: :pac:

Necro

Right I'm in. I'm going to lie down after that, did it without Google and my head now hurts

Banjo

In like Flynt.

Oh ****, that could have been my "i" !

This game is getting complicated.


1. There are no wrong answers.
2. But... Some answers are a trap.
3. And but.... Some answers are not allowed.

Number 3 may or may not be just me being a bitter grump and not actually true :P

Banjo

Yeah, why can't this be straight forward like sKeiths Rorschach test one, where there are no wrong answers and it turns out you fancy your mum.

I just need to hack QB's spreadsheet for this one.

What happens if the initial sheep is 15, the next highest is 14.

Does it going into an infinite loop then and break the servers?

If that happens ted, and you're on the sheep, You can have 10extra points!

Quoting for history.

In.

Started compiling my list in work, 'cause I'm such a productive employee. :pac: Finding this tougher than the TV one, some letters have so many answers that could conceivably be sheep.

finished

Im liking Tusks evil Necro style. I approve of it.

Where do we stand on trilogies/series of films/sequels? Will they be grouped as one or will they be considered as individual entries?

Using books as an example. Enid Blyton had a series called Malory Towers. There were 6 books. If I chose 1, tusk chose 2, Necro chose 3 etc etc would we all get 6 points or would we get one each?

Reason: some obvious trilogies that I expect will sheep.

Banjo

Well as a first time player I was told there are no wrong answers in sheep. The goal is to pick the most popular answer blind, not the correct answer (it's not Pointless or Family Fortunes) So as long as everyone does the same thing it'll sheep. If we all pick A Film I Made Up as the A film, it sheeps.

The problem is you don't know what everyone's going to do, and openly discussing it too much probably goes against the spirit of the game. Listen to your inner sheep - what does it tell you to do with those trilogies?

sullivlo

My inner sheep says baa.
