    Hmmmm... what constitutes a name? Could be anything really. I have some ridiculous nicknames for friends.

    There are no wrong answers in Sheep ;)

    The aim is to get the most popular one though :)

    Never really got this point for sheep. Are they googling for a correct answer (I know there are no incorrect answers but a silly answer will obviously score low) or are they googling for a very popular answer. Either way, is it not kinda unfair.

    Is it not peehs that has incorrect answers so googling would kind of spoil that one - a-z names in sheep - don't know if it googling would even make a difference - I just went off the top of my head in the hope everyone else gets the same answer :)

    Edit to add: I'm answering like some sort of expert after two mid table showings :)

    Yeah I know there are incorrect answers in peehs, but technically there are also in sheep.
    For example, name a colour of the rainbow, lets say you answered "die hard" correct answer but likely to score low. Lets say you can google and you find red is correct and popular. Google has now assisted you to score high, also assisted the other players who picked red and dissadvantaged the rest of the players. Now you might say the playing field is level as everyone can google, true, but might be more level if no one could google imo

    Edit: I may have missed something obvious here so shoot me down please if I have.

    Googling can help as well as hinder.

    Using your rainbow as an example, your first thought might have been to say blue, but then after googling, you decided red.

    Meanwhile everyone else decided that blue was the best answer and you would have picked blue too except that you googled.

    Even taking our current quiz with the letters. If it was girls names, A, a lot of people could have picked Aine because we're on an Irish forum. Meanwhile someone might decide to Google popular girls names and get Ann, but the list was from the UK. Another person might also Google another list but its US names and get Adrianna or whatever the Americans think is cool these days.

    Googling doesn't always present the most popular answer. In fact, sometimes it can give you too many options. At the end of the day, when presented with multiple options, you still have to pick the answer you think everyone else will pick, the one you think will sheep

    I was thinking more for answers a player didnt know. They could end up scoring high using google.

    I just think no google would be more fair. But the rules have been there before I started playing so dont mind me, just trying to get a better undersranding of it :D

    If a game mod wants to do no research, they can put that in at their own behest :)

    Thats just the sort of over-confidence we like round these parts.

    I have had massively high expectations followed by underwhelming results but I'm fairly certain this is the one to turn it around

    I've thrown in an entry. I'm sure there's a few I'll really be kicking myself on, and I think a couple might be girls names!

    I’ve gone with the same tactic as I did with the girl’s names and that worked out fairly well!
