Sheep A la Carte style
Jump to: Newest in thread
Which is no different to how others operate it (I think)  
There will be three rounds with a set of 10 questions per round.
Send the answers to me via a private message - no public posting, please.
Aim of the game is to get as many answers as possible to match with other players, they don't have to be correct to get most points as long as they're most common.
The more matches your answer has - the more points it gets.
Person who gets the most points wins and is (obviously) the queen/king of sheep
First round's questions:
1. Name a famous speech.
2. Name something you find in an attic.
3. Name a popular holiday activity.
4. Name a subject in school.
5. Name a Fab pet peeve.
6. Name a sex position.
7. Name a brand of car.
8. Name a country which has changed its name
9. Name something you do on a Saturday night.
10. Name someone who inspires you.
I'll be doing my calculations over (a late) coffee in the morning, posting scores by around 11 with the next lot of questions.
Good luck.  |

That's what I started with .
I'm using A4, which just about works. And I think I worked out a relatively easy system but when I heard Bog-man at a social with the threat of 70 possible entries  |

Started with loose A4 pages, then turned into a dedicated notebook and finally finished with a folder labeled "Sheep!" on my laptop full of Excel spreadsheets! |

Round 3 sent !! Thanks again OP good Craic and has also had this fun song by The Housemartins ringing through my head.
https://open.spotify.com/track/42HKjmpbsWXlffsPUkdJAu?si=JZrlz6IBQxWOxSHMI_PupA
Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead
The shepherd's smile seems to confirm my fears
And they've never questioned anything, never disagreed
Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears
And when you see a cane, I see a crook (whoa-oh)
And when you see a crowd, I see a flock
It's sheep we're up against (sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against)
It's sheep we're up against (sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against, sheep we're up against)

I'm tallying now. It'll take a while.
I won't take anymore new entries at this point - so if you haven't already answered round 1, I won't be adding you in the game. It's too time consuming with the number of participants!
Anyone who has already participated in round 1 can still send answers for round 2 and 3. |

And the most popular answers were...
For round 1:
1. Name a famous speech.
Martin Luther King - I have a dream.
2. Name something you find in an attic.
Amongst some of your dust, boxes, junk, spiders, mice, porn mags, water tanks and other shite, the most popular answer was Christmas tree/decorations.
3. Name a popular holiday activity.
Swimming just barely won over sunbathing.
4. Name a subject in school.
I was surprised to see Maths being named by 18 out of 31 participants.
5. Name a Fab pet peeve.
I would have thought the dick pic would win hands down. It was the most popular answer, with 12 votes.
6. Name a sex position.
Doggy, doggy, doggy!!! 21/31 votes
7. Name a brand of car.
Ford - most popular
Delorian - most unusual
8. Name a country which has changed its name
A load of you really need to go back to some geography lessons. Now I can understand how a teacher feels correcting exam papers (I am joking, I would have needed a Google search myself !).
Yugoslavia came in with 8 votes.
9. Name something you do on a Saturday night.
Drinking got 9 votes, going out got 8.
And my heart goes out to some of you feeling lonely 
10. Name someone who inspires you.
Mum/dad/parent was highest. It seems family, like the other half, sister/brother, children all inspire us most

And the most popular answers for round 2:
1. Name a colour on the Italian flag.
I would have thought the Irish would go with green but red got 11, green got 9 votes.
2. Name a cartoon character.
Mickey Mouse
3. Name a Canadian province.
Ontario
4. Name a German politician.
Angela Merkel
5. What is the first thing you do when you arrive at work?
We seem to have a strong work ethic amongst our participants - switching on/logging into pc/emails actually just topped those of you needing to get coffee/tea first
One cheeky participant logs straight into fab!!!
And for a couple of the participants - hope you guys can remedy what makes you unhappy
6. What are you most afraid of?
Spiders came top, sharks and snakes, some more profound - like dying in pain, wasting life or not having enough time.
7. Name a female tennis player.
Serena Williams
8. Name a brand of tea.
Barry's
9. Name a state in the USA.
Texas 6 votes, New York got 5 amongst a whole host of others.
10. Name a type of restaurant.
The Italian seems to be a favourite with 11 votes.

This was an interesting round. I admit I actually googled some of the questions. I think they were much more fun because there was less predictability!
Most popular answers for round 3:
1. Name a house you never want to be in.
Amongst the likes of a church, the White House, jail/court, the "mad house", halfway house and murderer's houses, top of the list was the haunted house!
(I was expecting the parents -in-law etc )
2. Name a child's toy.
Doll, followed closely by Lego, then Barbie/Actionman
3. Spring, summer, autumn or winter?
Summer 10 votes, autumn 7 votes
4. Name something you fill with air.
Balloon
5. Name something you don't learn at school.
Now this
Finance/budgeting was just above life skills.
Some of you seem to think kissing, sex positions and giving proper head should be part of the school curriculum?! If so, my children won't attend your classes
6. Never have I ever...
These were very individual - 3sums came in with 3 votes.
7. Name something that would embarrass you.
These were hilarious
Soiling oneself/farting came in with 4 votes. Parents/children walking in during the act got 3 votes.
My toilet humour was appealed to by those confessing they would be mortified if they were to shit themselves or indeed puke on a cock I'd nearly award an extra 10 points for that which would technically put Jaffa31 in the lead as the winner
8. Name something associated with vampires.
Blood (or one poster's mother )
9. Name something wet.
Water, rain or one poster's arousal
10. Name something you like about Fab.
Forum wins, followed by the people/friends/men/ladies met.
Next time I'll know I'll need a couple of full free days to run one of these
Thanks for participating. It was fun |
