    Happy New Year to you all -

    Guess who's back? Back Again?

    Necro's back - tell a friend :cool:

    The Alphabet versions of Sheep games seem to be hugely popular so... Let's try something slightly different.

    This time we're going for Heeps scoring system.

    Heeps is basically second best sheep. The object of the game is to give the second best sheep answer, as the best sheep answer will score zero points.

    That's right - if you Sheep in Heeps - you get nothing, nadda - zippidy doo da!!

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    The topic of this quiz is Bands OR Artists - PM me a list of 26 Bands/Artists in alphabetical order.

    Use the below as a template:

    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I
    J
    K
    L
    M
    N
    O
    P
    Q
    R
    S
    T
    U
    V
    W
    X
    Y
    Z


    There are no incorrect answers in Heeps.... but can you avoid picking the most popular one? Let's find out!

    Closing date at present will be Sunday, 19th January with reveal to take place some time the following week - most likely Monday, 20th January.

    Let's Get Heeps'in!

    Google is of course permitted.

    Quick question: If going for solo artists, do we use the surname or christian name? So, for example, would Joe Cocker be a J or a C or is it up to us?

    Entirely your decision, you can use them for either or both if you like :)

    No incorrect answers in Heeps... but can you get the second best one :D


  • Posts: 5,869 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Entered, so. There's one letter in particular with two very popular entries, I'd say. It's hard to guess whether some people will go for the super-obvious "2nd best one" or try to double bluff and go for the majorly popular one, as people will try to avoid it.

    I was trying out-double-bluff myself.
