First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.

Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season




Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

game 3:

game 4:

game 5:

game 6:

game 7:

game 8:

game 9:

game 10:

Can you please PM your answers on their own in an unnumbered list. So without the questions or numbers beside them. Thanks it makes the calculating much easier thumbsup

For someone who never posts Owen knows some very obscure stuff, I doubt even Chris or rowley would have come up with cocoa kids real name.

I can remove reverse sheep no problem. The game revolves around people being honest and I think most people are. To be honest I see no gain in winning this particular game by cheating. There's no money etc involved. Theres a game called heep and one called kangaroo that I'm looking at playing. They seem more luck orientated but will throw in one of them soon.

Can't comment for Chris but you're certainly right that I couldn't for what it is worth.

I'm happy getting rid of reverse sheep, I come up with some fairly obscure stuff but Brookes and hardwick take the biscuit.

OK this game is a bit of an experiment. It could be rubbish but I found it on my sheep scoring tool and will give it a go.

This version is called HEEP. The objective of heep is to guess the second highest answer. Scoring is the same as sheep, with the following differences: the highest answer (or tied answers) receives a score of 0, while the second highest answer (or tied answers) gets their points doubled. Highest score wins. So top answers are bad.

This is the only information I have on the game. I may have repeated some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game. I won't really know how it works till I use the scoring tool and see it in action. Enjoy Very Happy

So you have to think of the answer that you think most people will put, and put something else, but they won't put the one that you think they will, they'll put something else in the hope that everyone else put what you thought they thought they would, in which case you need to put something that you don't think they will put if they think that you were going to put it.

ive got a idea that may work for reverse sheep, we play it home when playing a couple of drinking games. if thiers a really obscure answer we put it to the room and (in a big game) at least two other people have to had heard of it for it to be legit, (1 person if its a small game) if nobody has heard of it hard luck even if its right.

obviuosly were relying on people being honest by saying whether they know it or not but no more so than people not using the internet. from paper bags point of view he would just do as normal then after answers are up someone would flag a debatable answer and then people who have heard of it will chip in, if its legit carry on as normal if nobodys heard of it abit of editing is needed to go back and give him wrong answers points.

what do people think?

I don't really want to penalise people for being knowledgeable either though. I don't see why people cant just be honest. As I said who cares if you win really. Its a silly game on the internet with a bunch of people you don't know who won't respect you anymore if you win.

This version is called HEEP. The objective of heep is to guess the second highest answer. Scoring is the same as sheep, with the following differences: the highest answer (or tied answers) receives a score of 0, while the second highest answer (or tied answers) gets their points doubled. Highest score wins. So top answers are bad.

This is the only information I have on the game. I may have repeated some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game. I won't really know how it works till I use the scoring tool and see it in action. Enjoy Very Happy

OK so most popular answer was SRR so they get no points. Second most popular was Ali. 3 people answered that and their points get doubled as the aim is to get 2nd most popular answer. So they get 6 points. 2 people went for Armstrong so they get 2 points and aces get 1 point.

Damn you Archie Moore, although going for Charles would have meant 0 points anyway.

With Union's answer to the LHW question, I doubt very much whether he is taking it seriously!!

Heep sounds good Paperbag....unless of course I do well in which case I will no doubt be called a cheat Whistle

As for the 2 answers which were questioned this round.

Norman Brookes - As has been pointed out the Australian Open has indeed been named after him. Also since he was the first non-brit to win Wimbledon he was a pretty big deal.

Herbert Hardwick - Otherwise known as Cocoa Kid. Was in Black Murders row..never got a shot at Henry Armstrong for the Welterweight title. He was also inducted into the Hall of Fame this year (so pretty recent news). My knowledge of the Hall of fame is pretty good hene some obscure answers.

Paperbag - Since I believe he is actually in the Hall of Fame under Herbert Hardwick I do think that answer should have stood!! But your game so no worries....

Anyhow....my apologies for having good boxing & general sports knowledge..I shall refrain from using it to well in the future.

Didn't take note of deadline. Sorry! Hopefully get involved in the next one.

Tactics mate, I'm reckoning that 1 point per question is better than 0...

Think it's more the point this knowledge ever crops up anywhere else, the kid is one of the less deserving members of the ibhof, whilst he probably should have got a shot, he was a darn sight less consistent than the rest of the bmr.
