Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar!

    Welcome to the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar!
    582-11-KCAL-1.jpg
    Every morning, from the first of December until Christmas eve, you can open up another door on the calendar and receive a Christmas related sheep* question :)

    I plan to ask one question each morning (I'll try to be early), you'll have until 6pm to send me your answer. I'll do a mini reveal that evening

    Also, everyone will start with one Christmas Star. You may use that on any day to double that day's score (hat tip to Kolido for the idea), just let me know when you send your answer

    I'll keep everything in this thread (questions, answers, scores...) so if you want to play, check back here on the Sunday :)

    Think that's it, if I've missed any important details then let me know!


    *in case you've stumbled on this and don't know what Sheep is, think Family Fortunes. You'll get one point for everyone who gives the same answer as you and the highest score wins, so you're looking for the most popular answer each time

    I'm afraid it would be zero for that day!

    If you know in advance you'll be offline though, just let me know. I can send you the question the day before :)

    Right folks, this starts tomorrow :)
    Bookmark the page, set your alarms...

    Well, don't set your alarms too early. I'm in Galway and pretty drunk, it may not be early (or it may be tonight) but I promise Q1 will be ready in the morning

    At the moment though, I'm a little...

    Good morning elves!

    December is here, it's time to open up the first door on the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar :)

    3hua5d.gif


    First up, how well do you know this famous Christmas story and song?

    9781442474956_p0_v8_s1200x630.jpg

    Question 1:
    Name one of the eight reindeer behind Rudolph



    PM me your answer by 6pm and I'll have the results later this evening

    This is sheep, so you're aiming for the most popular answer, and research is allowed. And, if you're confident of a high score, don't forget you can double today's score by playing your Christmas star. You only have one though, pick your day wisely!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit

    Aaarrgh. I gave a PEEHS answer even when I knew we were playing SHEEP. Which in fairness wasn’t a very low PEEHS answer either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I pick the same as a Christmas mod & still get the lowest points. :mad:

    Would have been funny if it was just Posy on Donner tho.
