Stephen King Sheep - Reveal Thread

Necro

Category 1 is in the books and QB leads the way by 2 points from LeVar.

tusk and Three More Big Sleeps aren't too far off either. Spook and 2D have a tussle over the spoon at the moment, like two gnarled gunslingers it's looking like a showdown :P

I'll be back in 5 mins with category 2

:cool: is Good btw, I'd have loved that answer.

Sadly not to be. The Gunslinger sheeps here and Choccy avoids it... TWICE :P

Sigh. Pretty clear what my favourite book is. :rolleyes:

And the impending apocalypse apparently hasn't changed it. Maybe i'll be different when we get to the horror...

Ectoplasm

Well that went far better than expected

Can only go downhill from here. :pac:

agreed. did not expect to be anywhere near the top at any point lol

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Being in the Top 3 early on, didn't bode well for me during yesterday's Sheep. In fact my best performances have always been a late surge from the middle of the pack. Wonder if I can finally break the Early Bird curse and pull out a podium finish tonight... Here's hoping...

Category 2: The Epics

This is a hard one to define. King has quite a lot of books that could be considered 'Epic'. Not all of them are good however.... Cell being one example


Here's a handful...



For fun, does anyone know how many books he has published all up?

khalessi

Im attacking from behind

quickbeam

At a guess, 42.

khalessi

63?

Ectoplasm

72

Collie D

76

Necro

Ding Ding Ding! khalessi has it - I'm not sure how up to date the wiki is...

King has published 63 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and five non-fiction books. He has written over 200 short stories, most of which have been compiled in book collections.

Anyways, the first question: Name a member of Randall Flagg's group in The Stand

First time playing a game on Boards...and I'm not last! Yay!

Necro

Our Sheep would be very familiar to some as a mass murderer in a recent game of Werewolf



Green&Red was a game mod... I suppose theoretically he was a member? :pac:

If you actually type 'How many books has Stephen King written' into google the answer at the top says

'At Least 96' :eek:

I'm not sure how that is calculated though.

khalessi

Just finished watching the Stephen King chat at the beginning and just when I thought I couldnt love him more, was very entertaining

Necro

Necro

Bill Sheeps and tusk must have been reading the Famous Five at the time of his submissions :pac:

According to kiddo who is addicted to Stranfer THings podcasts Stephen King recommended MBB for the role of EL in ST

Collie D

Haven’t seen the new movie yet and it’s a while since I read the book. Were there really that many Losers as in that photo?

BTW The original two parter gave me a lifelong hatred of clowns.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

F**k sake, thought everyone would go Richie.

Necro

Question 3: Name a form the being IT takes in the novel IT

Yeah so this was a better Peehs question lol.

But for the record, Peehs answers could have been:

George Denborough
Dorsey Corcoran
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Betty Ripsom
A Giant Bird
etc...


Here's the full list: https://stephenking.fandom.com/wiki/It_(Creature)

Necro

Pretty convincing sheep, as to be expected tbf. Poor Three Big Sleeps gives a peach of an answer though for an ace.

Question 8: Name a form the being IT takes in the novel IT

I love this book, it's up there with my favourites and I've read it about 4 times.

Let's not talk about the TV show though
