Alphabet Sheep - Actors and Actresses - with a twist!
-
03-03-2021 12:32PM#1
Hello all, welcome to the red carpet premiere of another Alphabet Sheep game!
If you don't know what Alphabet Sheep is, read post two then come and join in the fun!
This time we're looking for actors and actresses. Either their first or second name may start with each letter, up to you
The twist
All the best films have a twist, right? So, like Keyser Söze being Tyler Durden all along, and being able to see dead people's heads in boxes, here's the twist...!
At the bottom of your PM please add one film.
I will reveal the film that sheeps before the main reveal. Any actors or actresses who appear in that film will score zero!
Which film will you pick? Who will you try to eliminate?
Which film will sheep? Should you avoid certain actors and actresses as a result?
I don't know, I'm not playing, I just came up with the idea
Deadline: Tuesday 9th, midday. So just under a week
Reveal: Tuesday 9th, 8pm
(I'm afraid I won't accept late entries as I'll have to look up all the actors and actresses in the sheeping film and set all their scores to zero, not sure how long that will take)10

What's all this Alphabet Sheep malarkey about?
If you don't know what alphabet sheep is then the first thing to say is it's simple and fun and everyone in forum games is cool, come and join us!
In SHEEP you're aiming for the most popular answer, much like family fortunes. Each answer scores one point for everyone who gives it, so if more people give the same answer as you you score more points
Sometimes there are multiple questions to answer but in this case there's just one - "Name and actor or actress whose name begins with..." - and you have to give 26 answers, one for each letter of the alphabet
Send me a private message with your answers (in order, unnumbered please).
I'll tally up the results and reveal the answers and scores on Tuesday evening. Tune in if you can, it adds to the fun to have people commenting along
Any questions ask below, someone helpful will answer

Do you mean that the film I nominate should not have any of the actors/actresses in it that I already nominated, or do you mean the film should not have any that were nominated by anybody? Please clarify before I submit a disaster! 0 -

However, if they appear in the film that is named by the most people, they will score zero
Any films named other than the sheep are irrelevant. No points will be awarded for the film, its only being used to set the traps0 -

Yeah, don't have a plan if that happensI hope everyone nominates a different film and we get 40 joint sheep on 1.
If two sheep I'll use them both. Not sure where the dividing line is...
I do have a prediction for the film that will sheep though. Maybe I'll add my own vote in if we need a tiebreaker
And if it sheeps without my help I'm going to award myself lots of bonus points0 -

So, out of the thousands of films that, say, 40 people can choose from, you reckon one is going to be particularly popular as a choice. Interesting! 0 -

After the soap fiasco I no longer trust any of you lot to align with my thoughts though 0 -

You didn't ask to choose our favourite film - just to add a film!0 -

Right, I'm in...... I even managed to think of a few answers all by myself
(Please tell me Googling is allowed in SHEEP, otherwise just stick my entry in the shredder!)
The film I chose at the end..... well gawd knows who's in it, I've no doubt cancelled out a few of my own answers along the way!0 -

Phew. My marriage track-record is appalling. So sounds do-able, even for me.
So how do I establish who might be in the market? (Apart from Necro of course)...0 -
