Semi Irish Alphabet Sheep (Sheep at its most luxurious!)

    This game works like regular sheep in that your goal is to give the most popular answer for each item. There is one important twist for this game:

    EACH OF YOUR ANSWERS MUST START WITH A DIFFERENT LETTER OF THE ALPHABET. There are 26 questions, so that means that you will have to use each letter exactly once. Any answers which start with a letter you've already used will score zero.

    Due to the nature of this game, all answers which start with different letters will be grouped separately, even if they refer to the same thing. For example, if asked to name a country, "America", "USA", and "The United States of America" would be grouped separately or if asked to name a supermodel, "Heidi Klum" and "Klum, Heidi" would not be grouped together.

    Please submit your answers to me via PM in an unnumbered list, following the same order of the list given.

    A color
    A county in Ireland
    A phone manufacturer
    A type of fish
    A President of Ireland
    An Irish Lake
    A book from the Bible
    A type of tooth
    An Irish river
    An Irish city
    A hair color
    A food served on a full Irish breakfast
    An Irish mountain
    A chemical element
    A sport popular in Ireland
    A lizard
    A weapon
    A letter of the Greek alphabet ( it's English spelling )
    A planet in our Solar System
    An Irish Olympic medal winner
    A fictional superhero
    A brand of footwear
    A Province in Ireland
    A Saoirse Ronan Movie
    An item of clothing
    The remaining letter you didn't use


    And if you're still confused, just ask me :D

    Hoping to reveal in about 10 days or so :D

    I'm loving all these new twists on these games

    This is a brilliant idea.
    Rules are easy to understand but gonna be really bloody difficult to score well in this!

    EDIT: Should we send our answers in alphabetical order, or in the order of the items on your list?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,795 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Madness, absolute madness. I love it :D

    Edit, just spotted the last question. You're a psychopath!

    Oh, I like the sound of this!

    I suspect I'll like it a lot less when I actually sit down and try to answer it :D

    Will get an entry to you tomorrow Rikand :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    Very interesting concept, will definitely get an entry in for this

    Even coming up with any set of 26 answers is going to be a challenge, and that's not even taking in to account you're trying to pick 'good' answers

    I had a dream last night that it was reveal day and I realised that I’d doubled up on G. Then two minutes before the reveal I realised I’d doubled up on B and C too. The panic!

    In please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,612 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    Ah sure - might as well do this one as well!:)

    Might be an idea to put this up on the upcoming forum games thread as I only stumbled upon it today by chance.

    Just for clarification. for names is it their first name or surname that the letter counts for.

    So for John Smith is that classed as S or J ? Thanks :o

    It’s entirely up to you what letter you want it used against.

    John Smith would be under J
    Smith, John would be under S
