Alphabet Sheep - Actors and Actresses - with a twist!

    Sheep.jpg

    Hello all, welcome to the red carpet premiere of another Alphabet Sheep game!
    If you don't know what Alphabet Sheep is, read post two then come and join in the fun!

    This time we're looking for actors and actresses. Either their first or second name may start with each letter, up to you

    The twist
    All the best films have a twist, right? So, like Keyser Söze being Tyler Durden all along, and being able to see dead people's heads in boxes, here's the twist...!

    At the bottom of your PM please add one film.
    I will reveal the film that sheeps before the main reveal. Any actors or actresses who appear in that film will score zero!

    Which film will you pick? Who will you try to eliminate?
    Which film will sheep? Should you avoid certain actors and actresses as a result?
    I don't know, I'm not playing, I just came up with the idea :D


    Deadline: Tuesday 9th, midday. So just under a week
    Reveal: Tuesday 9th, 8pm
    (I'm afraid I won't accept late entries as I'll have to look up all the actors and actresses in the sheeping film and set all their scores to zero, not sure how long that will take)

    What's all this Alphabet Sheep malarkey about?

    If you don't know what alphabet sheep is then the first thing to say is it's simple and fun and everyone in forum games is cool, come and join us!

    In SHEEP you're aiming for the most popular answer, much like family fortunes. Each answer scores one point for everyone who gives it, so if more people give the same answer as you you score more points

    Sometimes there are multiple questions to answer but in this case there's just one - "Name and actor or actress whose name begins with..." - and you have to give 26 answers, one for each letter of the alphabet

    Send me a private message with your answers (in order, unnumbered please).
    I'll tally up the results and reveal the answers and scores on Tuesday evening. Tune in if you can, it adds to the fun to have people commenting along

    Any questions ask below, someone helpful will answer :)

    Do you mean that the film I nominate should not have any of the actors/actresses in it that I already nominated, or do you mean the film should not have any that were nominated by anybody? Please clarify before I submit a disaster! :)

    You can name any actors/actresses you wish

    However, if they appear in the film that is named by the most people, they will score zero

    Any films named other than the sheep are irrelevant. No points will be awarded for the film, its only being used to set the traps

    In other words, if any of my actors/actresses happened to be in the most nominated film ("sheep" film), each of them will be awarded zero points instead of the points they would have got otherwise.

    Yep, simple :D

    First entry in, Hello 2D Person Below just set a new land speed record for sheep! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,416 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I hope everyone nominates a different film and we get 40 joint sheep on 1.

    Yeah, don't have a plan if that happens :D

    If two sheep I'll use them both. Not sure where the dividing line is...

    I do have a prediction for the film that will sheep though. Maybe I'll add my own vote in if we need a tiebreaker
    And if it sheeps without my help I'm going to award myself lots of bonus points

    So, out of the thousands of films that, say, 40 people can choose from, you reckon one is going to be particularly popular as a choice. Interesting! :)

    And in.

    Well, I know what I'd pick!
    After the soap fiasco I no longer trust any of you lot to align with my thoughts though :D

    You didn't ask to choose our favourite film - just to add a film!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative

    That's a good idea. Have your own mystery sheep and if another sheep comes out from the masses, have two.

    Ooooh this is a dilemma and a half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    The film i choose has so many actors in it, i probably should have checked to make sure none of the actors i choose were in it, oops!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,040 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Right, I'm in...... I even managed to think of a few answers all by myself :o:D


    (Please tell me Googling is allowed in SHEEP, otherwise just stick my entry in the shredder!)

    The film I chose at the end..... well gawd knows who's in it, I've no doubt cancelled out a few of my own answers along the way!

    Ha ha, it's not compulsory but there seems to have been a flurry of people picking sheep nemeses (nemesiseseses?) for no real reason recently

    Ah. Is this like a long-term commitment? ;)

    Oh yeah, forum games nemesis is a bigger commitment than marriage :D

    Phew. My marriage track-record is appalling. So sounds do-able, even for me.
    So how do I establish who might be in the market? (Apart from Necro of course)...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,929 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    ...Apart from Necro of course...
    Well yeah, you want a challenge :pac:

    Don't you worry, there'll be plenty of undesirables for you to pick from here in the coming week!

    10 directors have complete their casting calls so far

    Some of the early storyboards tell a good story, some really need a rewrite :pac:

    You only get one true nemesis in your lifetime, like Holmes and Moriarty.
    People choosing a new nemesis every week or so is making an absolute mockery of nemesosity :mad:

    Well I don't think it could be possible to do any worse than I did in that game, so I'm sure you're right ! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,929 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    12 entries in now

    3 films battling to be the trap. 2 of those would make the game interesting, one not so much. Remember folks, you're trying to catch actors in your trap!

    Ouch :p And I don't think he noticed, so why not point it out ;)

    So the question is, will everyone go a bit obscure on the film, so I should go for obvious sheep actors, or will people go obvious on the film, and alter their actors to fit...?

    Or wait last time I did one of these I decided to try to sheep always because I naturally miss sometimes, hah! A plan :D
