Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

ElephantS!! The Second Part [Closing: 15th May, 6.30pm]
-
06-05-2021 8:20pm#1Elephant is a sheep game where the start of the next word must begin with the end letter of the word before.
Like a line of elephants walking along holding each other, trunk to tail. The Elephants get upset if their tails are not being held.
e.g.
elephanT
TigeR
RhinO
OctopuS
Seal
Simple enough, but it can end up being a total train wreck. Once you step off the path, getting back on again can be a mind****.... not that there is any set path
Connect the tails for these set of questions
*Thanks to Rikand for the intro
*
1. A European country
2. A breed of cattle
3. An English Premier League team
4. A TV show
5. A Covid-19 Vaccine
6. A snooker ball colour
7. A 90s song
8. A capital city
9. A Stephen King novel
10. A game played on Forum Games
Sign Ups open till the 14th May anyways, aiming to run the reveal that weekend sometime depending on other games in the forum.....12

Sheep is a game where you try to pick the most popular answer for a question, so that still applies here.
Difference is in Elephant your answer to each question has to start with the last letter of your previous answer 0 -

Necs do you come up with your own set of answers while you are working out the questions? It'd be interesting to see what you choose afterwards if so.
Sometimes, not always. Have I done it here...? Who knows 0 -
davetherave wrote: »There's no answers or question numbers in the spoilers below just some comment on the bold.Yeah, without saying too much I suspect I had the same problem where it appeared to me that two questions had to be specific answers/combination to be a valid tail to trunk Unless I've really scuffed it :0
Well this is sheep so there are no wrong answers right? :pac:
I had to use some obscure stuff / versions of things to make it work so I doubt mine will sheep, but I made them all link 0 -

I hope what happened to me in the last Elephant game does not happen to me here.
It came to a vehicle question and a number of us had to start the word with the letter A. I, like most of us who were starting with the letter A, anticipated that the next question (an animal) should start with the letter E (Elephant was the obvious choice there, although some went for Eagle!). What did I put down but Ambulance, when the obvious answer was Airplane!
Only for that answer, I would have been joint winner at the end of that game!

If you don't give them a dry run yourself, how can you know they are not impossible?
Because there are no wrong answers in sheep - stick in some obscure gobbledygook along the way, there will be very few sheep and lots of aces, but that's Necro's problem

Is it the same in Heffalumps? I thought if you gave a wrong answer you got no points or got minus points off your scoreBecause there are no wrong answers in sheep - stick in some obscure gobbledygook along the way, there will be very few sheep and lots of aces, but that's Necro's problem

There is multiple ways to do it with correct answers though in fairness.
And of course there's one vastly superior and satisfying set of answers, which was the route that I obviously chose to go for, for I am great and only choose great answers... :pac:0 -

Necro didn't say so I assumed the penalty was just being certain of an ace... in the end mine are obscure or versions rather than plain wrong, but I did consider it 0 -

I'll eat my hat if there aren't only single answers to one or two of these - where you go before and after that is open to debate though!Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »There is multiple ways to do it with correct answers though in fairness.

I do NOT recommend trying to do this at 2am, by the way, the brain fog was off the scale 0 -

I had a quick glance at the previous Elephant and no-one messed up on carrying over letters between each question. Hopefully, it will be the same for this game. But, if someone were to mess up on their letters, surely that is wrong so maybe they should get zero?0 -
