Did mine sans internet so hopefully didn't make too much of a mess.

A great way to challenge yourself I think. I did the same myself but had to get Google out for X admittedly.

Without the internet is the best way to go, usually if a city jumps to mind, it will jump to most peoples mind

I visited China and was in a city beginning with X so that helped

Irish Aris

for X - It happened that my best friend was in my home when I was answering this and he has been to China, so he gave me an answer.
for U - I could only think of one city and that got the nomination
I had to google Q - as I couldn't think of a single city - never mind the fact that I completely forgot to send an answer for Q in the first place - for the second sheep in a row

I forgot to send an answer for K and the city I live in starts with K

For the last time, Kilkenny isn't a city, it's a large suburb of Waterford.

The only connection I have with Kilkenny is I lived with a guy from there when I was at college. Nice chap but rather strange.

They all seem to be rather strange from what I've seen on the Kilkenny forum, in particular they have a massive chip on their shoulders about Waterford. That said, the Waterford crowd makes them look like well-balanced and reasoned individuals.

Welcome aboard

There's no right or wrong answers here*, you score a point for everyone who agrees with you, so the most popular answers score better. A bit like Family Fortunes

With 35-40 players, some cities may score 30+
Often there'll be one around 20, one around 10 and a few scoring 1 or 2. If you give a unique answer you'll only get 1pt

I'd guess averaging around 20 would win, so the winning score might be about 500. That is a complete guess though

*well, cities in Ireland or the UK are "wrong" in this case

djr15

Cheers.
I get you, I just wasn't sure of the scoring...


All expenses paid week in the Sitting Room for the winner I guess?!?

For new players, if you enjoy the principle but think it needs less geography and more spandex, then my esteemed colleague Omackeral is running a Wrestlers Alphabet Sheep over here!

Electric Nitwit

djr15 and Barney bring us up to 37 players with 24hrs to go!

Does Necro have his own city?

I'll stick to the plan though, but if I get distracted you know why!

What the?? All I did was start a minor hate campaign against you during the advent sheep. Did I really deserve this level of retaliation!?

We should have a tag team version of sheep. Get an even number of players to submit answers then once all are in, give them a random teammate and combine their scores.

The arguments between teammates could be Pay Per View material

Edit: I’ve just randomised the above. Here’s your teammate

Come on Trig, how can you forget the South London massive we had?

Kolido

If you want to milk it (no pun intended) you could run a last man standing alphabet sheep

That could mean over 40 games, you can do it EN.
