Ok folks,
As promised another QUICKFIRE Sheep to take our minds off the madness.
This time however we are going for TRIPLE TROUBLE
How it works:
You are required to give 3 answers per question.
If you give ALL 3 of the top scoring answers, you incur a penalty (-top sheep score)
If you give 3 answers that are not exactly the top 3 answers but ALSO no aces, you get a bonus (+top sheep score)
PM the answers to me to the questions below in an un-numbered list:
3 counties on the island of Ireland
3 musical instruments
3 colours
3 fruits
3 sports
3 languages
3 cartoons
3 US presidents
3 Irish Presidents
Google is permitted.
See below an example for those who aren't quite getting it.
Example:
Name 3 seas:
(answered by PM)
Baggly.......Mediterranean, Dead, Red
sKeith.......Mediterranean, Dead, Arabian
Clarabel.......Mediterranean, Caribbean, Swan
Green&Red...Mediterranean, East China, Dead
quickbeam.........Mediterranean, Dead, Red
MicksJaguar............Mediterranean, Dead, East China
Barney92...........Mediterranean, Caribbean, Red
(Reveal)
Question 1: Name 3 seas
Mediterranean - 7
Baggly
sKeith
Clarabel
Green&Red
quickbeam
MicksJaguar
Barney92
Dead - 5
Baggly
sKeith
quickbeam
Green&Red
MicksJaguar
Red - 3
Baggly
quickbeam
Barney92
Caribbean - 2
Barney92
Clarabel
East China - 2
Green&Red
MicksJaguar
ACES - 1:
Arabian - sKeith
Swan - Clarabel
In this example, Baggly and quickbeam will be punished (-sheep score = -7) for giving the top 3 answers;
whereas MicksJaguar, Green&Red and Barney92 will receive a bonus (+sheep score = +7) for avoiding both the top 3 answers and the aces.
Clarabel and sKeith get no bonuses as they aced, but also no penalties.
Scores for Question 1:
MicksJaguar (7+5+2+7) = 21
Green&Red (7+5+2+7) = 21
Barney92 (7+3+2+7) = 19
sKeith (7+5+1) = 13
Clarabel (7+2+1) = 10
quickbeam (7+5+3-7) = 8
Baggly (7+5+3-7) = 8
But don't worry about the nitty gritty - that's for me to sort out.
Just send me answers and let's play

Oof, now I'm not saying you stole my idea (that you had no idea I was thinking of doing) but we might have both come across the same idea from the same place. I had changed it to a Double Trouble and thought up some new questions yesterday evening. Hey-ho you snooze you lose.
Will fire in an entry shortly.0 -

No no that's ok. The questions were general enough but with enough limits that they might work as a sheep instead, or I can see how this on pans out and go ahead with it in a bit anyway. There were only two questions that were the same so I can come up with some new ones.

I just followed the example Necro gave in the OP. It's his own fault for not saying something sooner. :rolleyes:0 -

At least you guys gave him answers. For some reason I decided to send him back his own list of questions.
Thanks for the heads up, Necro 0 -
If you really want to help me you can group your three sets of answers
So
County
Colour
etc
County
Colour
etc
County
Colour
etc
But don't worry if you haven't or don't want to I'll manually input them anyways.
Done - can I get a teacher's pet bonus point for sending it in that format?

But of course EN
Folks I'll be closing sign ups at a slightly earlier time than normal of 4pm on Sunday afternoon, with reveal to run around 6.30pm/7pm.
Main reason is I can't correctly add bonuses/penalties until I have a full roster
13 entries now already - this really is quickfire 0 -

Am I trying to submit common answers or the far fetched wild ones??
You want the most common for a SHEEP.
Well usually anyway, Necro's rules for this one throw a bit of a spanner in the works - ideally you want 2 of your answers for each category to be in the Top 3 most popular, and the third option just outside of the Top 3.
At least that's my understanding anyway, but I barely read the rules so don't take my word for it.... 0 -
