    There are hundreds of usernames on boards. Lets have a simple game based on them. Simply pick a name for each letter of the alphabet.

    The object of the game is to give the best sheep answer. Most popular answer given

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    The topic of this quiz is Boards Usernames- PM me a list of 26 usernames in alphabetical order.

    Use the below as a template:

    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I
    J
    K
    L
    M
    N
    O
    P
    Q
    R
    S
    T
    U
    V
    W
    X
    Y
    Z


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

    Closing date at present will be Friday, 27th September with reveal to take place some time over the weekend of 28/29th
    Let's Get Sheepin!

    Adding a couple of curveballs to this as well.

    I have picked two names at random.
      [*]If you pick one of them, you will get double your points.

      [*]If you were to guess the other, you will get half your points.

      Yep, I was lazy & plagarised an old one.

      Thought I had tweaked everything, didn't get past you though.

      What kitten said,

      do you go on the basis that people pick the first name on a search.
      Who posted last on the front page.
      Who is active at the time,
      Who your favourite Mod is.
      Who has won the most wooden spoons.

      But be aware of the curveballs.

      thanks to all who submitted, still plenty of time for others.

      Just realised this is clashing with the current WW game, so will probably push out the deadline by a week to allow everyone time to enter.

      Going to do a quick collate of what I have so far and see how we stand at the minute.

      I wanted to enter but haven't had a chance. Is there a way to search users? Like if I don't know any used beginning with z for example, is there a list of users someplace?

      Not sure where there is a full list, but you can type random stuff into the search bar in boards to find names.
