Alphabet Sheep-Music Artists Edition (Prize On Offer)

    The object of SHEEP is to give the most popular answer.

    The topic of this quiz is MUSIC ARTISTS. PM me a list of 26 music artists/bands in alphabetical order. DO NOT post your list in this thread.

    RULES

    For the purposes of this game, the word 'THE' can be left out of the band name.
    For example if the band/artist is called The Muppets you can just put them under M.

    All other shorthand answers are not allowed.
    For example if the artist/band is Walt Disney you cannot put him under D for Disney (but you can put him under W of course).


    Also, I have chosen 2 music artists/bands from a hat-one very well-known, one not so well-known generally.

    If you give me the very well-known music artist you will get zero points
    E.G. if the well-known music artist is Mickey Mouse and you answer Mickey Mouse for M and 9 other people give the name Mickey Mouse for M this will result in ZERO points for all 10 who gave that answer!

    If you give me the lesser-known music artist you will get double the points of the sheep score of that letter
    E.G. if the lesser-known music artist is Mickey Mouse and you answer Mickey Mouse for M and the sheep score for M is 25 you will get a massive 50 points!

    The two chosen music artists/bands will be revealed at the end of the game.

    Is that clear? I hope so.

    One more thing-there is a prize on offer! I will post a prize to an Irish/N.Irish address for an outright winner free of charge! What will the prize be? Who knows-you'll just have to win to find out!

    There are no incorrect answers in Sheep-can you pick the most popular one? Let's find out!

    I will keep this open for a couple of weeks and reveal will take place soon after provided we get the numbers of course.

    Rebretta losing the run of themselves now with all these Sheeps!

    Love it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,926 ✭✭✭Clarabel


    Im so confused by the rules.

    If you sheep you get zero. Always? Or just if you deem them "well known"

    HOW WILL I KNOW


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    I've only chosen 2 music artists from the whole world and from all the letters so there's only 2 (or 1) letter(s) where those rules can apply.

    One well-known, one not so well-known. If you give me the well-known one you get zero points. If you give me the lesser-known one you get double the points of the sheep score of that letter.

    The chances of you giving me one of the chosen music artists isn't that big. The chances of you giving me both are slim to none.

    They're only small stipulations to make it a bit more interesting at the end.

    If you still don't understand just ignore that bit and play it as a normal sheep (which is what it is). :)

    I understand now. Now I have to enter don't I?

    I'd also like to understand if there's a wooden spoon prize and if Mam is entering?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    No prize for last place. Not sure who mam is? My mother ain't allowed to enter-would be a conflict of interest there. Quickbeam has entered so far.
