    After the success and absolute craic of Necro’s TV sheep, we’re gonna do a Movie Sheep

    t

    v
    w
    x
    y
    z


    Same rules as usual (nearly):
    • Submit your answers through PM to moi in an unnumbered list, A-Z
    • No posting your list on the thread
    • There are no wrong answers in sheep

    The more people who choose the same answer as you, the better you score!


    But wait, there’s more…

    To make the game a little more interesting, I’m introducing a new trap dynamic. For every letter, I’ll pick a movie to be a trap, and if that answer sheeps, instead of getting the full score, you’ll only get the next highest score plus 1.

    Example - for the letter M the trap movie is ‘Movie B’, if Movie B is the sheep and gets 16 points, but Movie A is second with 6, people who chose Movie B will only receive 7 points instead of 16.

    All traps have already been chosen (by a committee of my colleagues) and will not change. Any questions on the trap mechanic feel free to ask below :D

    Reveal will likely be the 24th, so get your entries in!

    As always, have fun and bring your friends!

    Note: if anyone wants to resubmit, please send your full updated list so it's less work for me. Am lazy. Plstnx

    What happens if the trap doesn’t Sheep? Is it one next lowest +1?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭tusk


    If trap doesn't sheep, then nothing happens.

    Traps only activate if they sheep


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Okay. Still worth going for as they’ll be the highest scorer. Or at least, not worth avoiding.

    can you put an A-Z list in the OP or are we supposed to go to another alphabet game to rob it?

    Sorry if this is one of those known-knowns, but do movies starting with "The" count as starting with T or with the first letter of the word following?

    That's your decision to make.
    you can enter the same movie multiple times under different letters.

    Curse you Sheepers and your lack of distinct answers that require me to take responsibility for my own decisions! Curse you thrice!
