Tanking hurts everyone in this game.

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

I don't have a problem with a competition for going for the lowest score. Adds a second way to "win."

An interesting variant would be a "going nil" option where if you get a 10 with legitimate answers, you score the same as the week's leader, or some fixed amount like 250 or 300. That would offer a way to catch up.

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

That sounds great for a hypothetical Lone Wolf game, but it would destroy Sheep scoring and, with it, the premise and fun of the game.

And how do you determine a legitimate answer? Is anyone with a Wikipedia page considered famous?

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

Never fear, I won't be doing anything of the sort. I was only being somewhat sarcastic. If I was going to tank because I was out of it, I would have started after I missed the second week. Besides, I can 1-point on my own merits, thank you kindly.

I think I put Born This Way for Gaga... I'm sure that will be an epic failure.

I switched off Nada for Zero,
and Bad Romance for Born This Way.

Second-guessing is the ultimate sheep-killer.

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

Don't you mean "going zip?" Or maybe "zilch" or "zero" or whatever else wins that question. :

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

Excellent point! And another example of why I am in the middle of the flock...

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

Went with "Born This Way," Jason Collins, Mississippi and nada, among others.

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

1. Justin Upton (oh god WHY)

2. Born This Way

3. Jimmie Johnson

4. Thou shall not kill

5. Arizona (again, WHY)

6. Chick-Fil-A (at least it'll be a tasty low-scoring answer)

7. Georgia

8. Jason Sudeikis (more like Jason SUCKASS)

9. nada

10. Jennifer Lawrence

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

Justin Upton is definitely one of the most....interesting choices so far this season. Born This Way is getting more support than I expected.

 

Re: SHEEP 2014 Official thread (Week 7 questions, page 26)

I think my score will be significantly higher this week. Thank God no track and field questions.
