    Gonna try my hand at my second ever Sheep. Basically, I give you a topic and you PM me the answers based on what you think the most popular answer will be.

    No traps in this one, just a straight up most popular wins... and Google is permitted.

    In Alphabet Sheep, you send me on a mountain or mountain range for each letter of the alphabet. This could be Irish or indeed global! All I’ll say is you don’t need to include the precursor Mount for answers. So Mount Etna would simply fall under Etna, for example

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered, and unlettered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    Use the below as a template:


    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I

    Q

    No rush on entries yet and info regarding a reveal will be posted here.

    Enjoyed that, passed the time nicely.


    Totally stumped on two letters and I forbade myself from Googling.

    Entry submitted. :cool:




    This started off as a nice upbeat post, but I'm now reading about Tammi Terrell and all the tragic things that happened to her in her short life, and now I'm depressed. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,359 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    I've dusted off my hiking boots, which have been in cold storage for most of the pandemic, and I hope to be first to reach the top of the Sheep Mountain. :D

    I’m in. Had to rely on google after 6-7 letters :D

    We have a move handful of players in now but plenty of room for more!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,352 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    I'll get mine in later


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,043 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I spent a far larger chunk of today than I thought would be necessary getting a complete list together for this :o

    Got about halfway through, and hit a mountain (unfortunately it didn't start with any of the letters I still needed :( )

    Will see if it still looks presentable in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,938 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Forgot about this one. I'll make a start on it tomorrow .. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,930 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I've only made it to 20 and I think I need Google. I'm so ashamed of myself, I can imagine my old geography teacher throwing a board eraser at my head!

    They're not even the most obscure letters, I got most of those...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral

    :D had my own fair share of erasers launched in my direction by one particular job happy teacher hehe.

    Geography was the last class before lunch so naturally bonked off that class for the extra eating time. I'm a very slow eater. It had to be done.

    & it will show in my game :pac:

    Is a volcano classed as a mountain?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Is a volcano classed as a mountain?

    Yup (some though not all volcanoes are mountains :D ), the example used by our host is actually a volcano :)

    Ah bummer. I had come up with one by myself & thought it would be a sheep too. Then changed it because I seen it was a volcano.

    I never sat & questioned what an actual volcano was before so wasn't sure if it could be classed as a mountain or not :D

    There's no wrong answers in Sheep, remember!

    It wouldn't surprise me if I entered a set of landmark train tracks or something. I got tired after a while :D

    You probably bunked off / bonked off school when the differences were being explained. :D
