Alphabet Sheep - The Trapper Files

Necro · 06-01-2021 5:05pm #1

A new year, a new Alphabet Sheep!!

The premise of Sheep is very simple - I give you a topic and you PM me the answers based on what you think the most popular answer will be.

However....

I have selected a band OR artist in each of the letters. If you match with me...

You score....

ZERO

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

The topic of this sheep is Bands & Artists - PM me a list of your answers in alphabetical order.

Use the below as a template:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
M
N
O
P
Q
R
S
T
U
V
W
X
Y
Z

Signs up are open until Friday, 15th of January with Reveal to take place that night.

Do we get any clues? Have you picked obvious ones?

Nope, no clues. To avoid my traps you have to think like me....

A terrifying thought I realise

:D

I had a feeling you'd say that :pac:

Irish Aris · 06-01-2021 5:32pm

OK, I think I have an idea on what to avoid for the letter G.
On a separate note, I am tempted to attempt getting a peehs in every single answer

fixXxer · 06-01-2021 5:33pm

Done.

Its easy to get a Peehs when everyone else is attempting to Sheep though. All you're doing is saving someone else from getting the spoon.

Trying to hit every trap would be a much harder way to be crap

I was so focused on dodging traps that I was also dodging Sheep left and right... I also probably should've thought about all my choices a bit more rather than going for the first name that wasn't glaringly obvious that popped into my head...

Oh well, whatever happens happens, I sent answers in and that's all that matters...

Necro · 06-01-2021 6:08pm

My name is included already because I pre-chose the traps so there could be no bias or influence guiding my decisions.

Did I choose the sheep, did I choose something off the wall...

Only time will tell :P

the purple tin · 06-01-2021 6:21pm

I'm in.
You are a machine, Necs.

Omackeral · 06-01-2021 7:15pm

I've joined my very first one of these... eek...

Necro · 06-01-2021 7:35pm

Just had a query by PM and I forgot to put it in the OP.

As it's Sheep you can do all the research you like

Also welcome to the madness of Sheep Omack

In

My tactic if putting in the first artist that popped into my head won't do well I'm thinking,

Oh well someone needs to get the wooden spoon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to get back out of your head if I have to go in & think like you.

Rikand · 06-01-2021 11:05pm

if I havent hit at least 10 traps, I'll be disappointed

fixXxer · 07-01-2021 11:34am

Can already see the theme of the person hitting the most traps being the peoples champion :pac:

Thinking the same as Necro doesn't make you any sort of champion

Irish Aris · 07-01-2021 12:01pm

well, based on previous competitions, walruses etc. I thought there were a couple of very obvious traps that I avoided it.
But I don't see me scoring too many sheep anyway - though I don't expect too many high sheep.

Electric Nitwit · 07-01-2021 1:20pm

There's me, running to victory, avoiding all the traps...

Not really, I tried to come up with a clever name and failed miserably :pac:

It's in relation to this part of the OP

I'll make a start at getting something put in too.
Haven't a clue what these traps are about but I suppose I'll soon find out

:P

Necro · 08-01-2021 8:23pm

No panic yet for entries, though Zaph and Kolido have submissions of their own. Will they be caught in my web or avoid the traps

I see a pattern with Seph - he says he's in and then he has to be reminded to submit his entry!

Haven't you ever met a cat before?!?! They want in but no sooner are they in when they want out again. Then they want in, then they want out. They just can't make up their minds.

I have entered but no idea what I'm at!

SineadSpears · 08-01-2021 10:06pm

& I'm in

Had a nice little theme going there at the start, & then had to throw in a few of the rough boys to fill in the gaps.

Don't know if there's some tactic supposed to be used, but it is what it is...

Necro · 08-01-2021 10:55pm

Motoring along with another 4 entries this evening and still just under a week to go.

I'd love 50 players, am I being too ambitious?
