    Great game necro, thanks for running it. Congrats Reberetta on your win. Good fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,530 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Can you magic up a leaderboard of how many traps players fell into??

    I was sorry I didn't keep track for myself as the game went along!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,396 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Just catching up, what a ride!
    I was dead and buried after 5 questions, got up to second then finished nowhere :p

    Necro, seriously, ZZ Top was so obviously the trap! You cruel twisted maniac :D

    Congrats Reb, stunning win at the death

    Gru, come here...

    Great game. Well done to all: Necro, the three at the podium and of course the wooden spooner!

    The mistake I made was that I concentrated so hard on avoiding traps (successfully by the way!) that I also ended up with a lot of low-scoring answers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,149 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    I missed all the action due to a skype call, so only catching up now.
    Congrats Reb, what a finish!!!

    Necro, a pleasure as always, thank you very much for organising!!

    Nerdy niche question - did the sheepulator adjust for the traps automatically? Or did you have to adjust it manually?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,136 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Nerdy niche question - did the sheepulator adjust for the traps automatically? Or did you have to adjust it manually?

    Adjusted it manually, there's two ways you can do it, set your own answer to score zero or just mark the question invalid.

    But I played with the reveal a bit and wasn't enamoured with the invalidate option tbh.

    I refer you to the post below...which is clearly the final standings.

    Ecto will enter into no further discussion on this.
    Ecto's decision is final

    And Ecto would win alphabetically due to it being Alphabet Sheep anyway :p

    I should have got 4 points for Red Hot Chili Peppers Necro! Fix that sheepulator of yours!

    I also demand 50 bonus points for the emotional harm and public embarrassment this "ace" has inflicted upon me too! Thus making me your new winner :pac: God forbid I actually spell the band's name correctly and I'm punished for it!

    I refer you to the post below...which is clearly the final standings.

    Ecto will enter into no further discussion on this.
    Ecto's decision is final

    And Ecto would win alphabetically due to it being Alphabet Sheep anyway :p

    Well in that case

    Thanks for running, Necro.

    Congrats, Reb.

    Wasn’t following this closely at all so pleasantly surprised to finish in top five after four straight traps to start and being miles off any time I did check in. Not sure what happened there.

    Enjoyed that. Lovely bit of drama at the end! Congrats Reberetta.

    Reberetta had joint highest number of traps and wins! 2D had 0 traps and gets the wooden spoon! I had 0 traps and end up in mid-table mediocrity!

    So can we deduce the best way to play this game was to go for all the obvious Sheep, assuming Necro will hit a lot of them but miss enough such that you still score highly? Safe to say this was a strategy I did not follow; for Q I avoided Queen because it felt like such an obvious Sheep....but then also avoided QOTSA because it seemed too obvious a Heeps, such that I thought it was 50:50 which one Necro would pick! I was hoping more would follow my line of thinking and go with Queensryche.....sadly this did not transpire.

    I'm annoyed that I aced with Bee Gees though; what the hell is wrong with you people? You literally just say the letter B and you're halfway there. FFS. :mad:


    Oh and I think we all know who the true victor of this game really was. Congrats Gru, the 'People's Winner', 4EVER IN OUR HEARTZ. <3

    Silly question probably but with the traps Necro did. Are they just random or are they purposely always gonna be aiming to be high scorers? Is it part strategy and part luck to win? Either way it’s great craic!

    That was my strategy and it worked a treat. :D

    Even I'm surprised ZZ Top wasn't a trap and I was just hoping to hang on for a top three finish on the final letter.

    Commiserations Gru, you deserved it.

    Grazie for a splendid game Necro, as always.

    Music fans check out my game.

    Music Acts Picture Peehs Part 3


    P.S. If Gru is The People's Champ, what does that make me? Oh yes...

    I picked all my answers at the beginning before anyone else answered so it was pure coincidence (in a way) that they happened to be the Sheep (highest answers).

    I guess you could strategize for it but those who avoided all the traps didn't actually do any better than people who hit multiple traps.

    Tbh it's merely a game device to limit the scores a little bit as the topic had been done previously and one massive sheep could end the game for a lot of people in terms of having a chance to win. With the traps in play there's always the chance.

    Of course I messed up too :pac: not picking a couple of obvious ones such as Nirvana for N or Westlife for W

    Great thread only catching up now.
    Heartbreaking finish, congrats reb,
    So unlucky GRU
    Can't believe I only got 4 traps, gonna take that as a win, 3 of them I couldn't think of any other possible artist.
    Thanks for running Necro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Congrats Rebe and unlucky Gru.

    Delighted with 3rd place after a dreadful start.

    Thanks for the game Neccers, great reveal.

    Actually that full table shows where I adjusted it as Trigger has one extra point from RHCP
