Semi Irish Alphabet Sheep (Sheep at its most luxurious!) - THE REVEAL!!!!

Rikand

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.

This was the list of questions

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 these are the players

But first - The Chewbacca Rule!


If you were asked to name a non-humanoid main character from Star Wars, there are 3 real possible answers
C-3P0, R2D2 and Chewbacca.

The +EV play is to pick R2D2 because there's a good chance that the people who pick the names starting with C could split their vote between the two.

It'll be interesting to see if there are any chewbaccas in this game

Definitely one question where the three answers that jumped out at me all started with the same letter. I went for one of them. Still...

beakerjoe

Really curious to not only see how my answers do but also to see what others picked.

Eeek excited much.

Yep was thinking the same.... couldn't think of one with that letter. I only know 3.

Neowise

I don't remember any question even vaguely resembling this..... never mind coming up with an answer to it :eek:

This does not bode well.......

This may very well be my most embarrassing performance to date.

I'm really looking forward to this reveal

I'm really proud of the X-answer I gave. Even if it only scores one point, I was very happy with that one

Oddly, it were the relatively easy letters I struggled with the most, T and H being the main culprits

KathleenGrant

I was really intrigued by this game and was looking forward to it but I was terrible at it.

I was left with a vowel that would score 1 in Scrabble at the end because I was trying to use the more obscure ones. Had to change it.

I know I used it but for the life of me I can't remember for what

It will be interesting to see which letters were NOT used, i.e. the remaining letter question!

I love a good reveal night.

Wow big sheep out the gate

Collie D

I’ve just realised that not going with the herd on a big Sheep will hit you twice.

Electric Nitwit

That's got to hurt. Miss a big sheep, and know that at least 26 people won't agree with your Y later
