Last (S)Heeps Standing.

Reberetta

Allow me to introduce a new game. I may have invented it, and if I did, let it be known that, yet again, I did so purely because it wouldn't take me long to add up the scores. Yes, I'm a lazy bastard.:p

It's called Last (S)Heeps Standing.

Rules:

1. 17 questions and your main goal is to avoid the sheep (the most popular answer) so you'll probably want to play it as a heeps (give the second most popular answer).

2. If you give 5 sheep answers (if you give the most popular answer to five of the questions) you are knocked out of the game.

3. Your answers will still count for others even if you're knocked out. e.g. Joe Bloggs gets five sheeps in the first five questions and is knocked out- but his answer for the sixth question will still be counted even though he, as a competitor, is eliminated.

4. If there are two or more players left at the end of the game, whoever has the highest score will be declared the winner (so ideally you want four sheeps and 13 heeps).

5. A wrong answer counts as a sheep, but one that gets you minus points, so no use trying that ruse!

6.If everyone is knocked out by the end, then I'm the winner! So I'm sort of playing too like some sort of supreme overseer of evil deeds. *Cackles* I know I'm not going to win, let me have my moment.


I don't know how this will work out as I've never tried it before. Could be a complete disaster. It might need some honing as things go along, but those are the rules for now. It's basically a game of HEEPS.


The questions are simple but Google is allowed if you need it.

PM the answers to me, numbered is fine.

hahahha, make that 18!!!!

Just send mine, my strategy (which will obviously fail miserably) was to aim for sheep in some questions and peehs in others. Hopefully this will bring me to my usual middle of the table!!!

Sounds like Trit's powerplay has officially entered other games here.

I'll get an entry in after 15.14 to try get 19 in 19.

I'm relatively new to all this stuff, so this kinda goes over my head.


But

Don't worry Heidi. It's a joke from the very, very early days of Forum Games from a Werewolf game. Not even sure how to start to explain it :P

If you happen to really bored though ....

3. If a question has 2 or more tied top answers (joint sheeps) this will not count as a sheep in a player's tally of sheeps as regards rule 2 above.

I'm considering abandoning this rule and making joint sheeps count as a sheep in a competitor's quota of five sheeps.

Why? Because I'm evil. *Cackles*

Not really. In reality, because it'll mean less adding up for me to do and more knockouts=more fun.

I haven't made a decision, still working out the game, but just so you know, I reserve the right to change the rule and I'm thinking about it!

I'm not going to do it to maximise my chances of winning, no sir. I've just glanced at the PMs so far. But I don''t want too many joint sheeps cause that would be annoying and mean more work for me. And I want to ruin people's dreams.

I have decided to abandon this rule now. There likely won't be more than one joint sheep so it will not make a great difference.
