Boxing Sheep Season 3 Game 9 & 10 Deadline Tuesday 25/07/12 @3.45pm

by paperbag_puncher Mon 23 Jul - 18:21

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

by paperbag_puncher Tue 24 Jul - 19:48

If there are 2 top answers you don't get double the score. Its just the way this scoring tool I use scores it so nothing I can do.

by compelling and rich Tue 24 Jul - 19:48

oh but now everyone else gets 4 points mad

dont get these rules, joint second is only joint second if there isnt a joint first????? but you can can 5 joint seconds if there only one top answer? makes no sense to me

What do you want me to do? Go with the scoring tool I've been using for every other game without too much complaint. Or manually add up all the scores and take forever? Its not rocket science if there is more than one top answer 2nd place doesnt get double points. I don't know why it does that but id does and everyone else seems able to follow it.. Rant over.

Darren, as it happens, didn't even know there was another Fletcher hence why I didn't bother with a first name! No worries tho.

Would of been Darren for me as well. Bit of a shame really as that would of put us in the points.

Who is this Blunkett fellow I keep being compared with? Ok, I am rubbish at Sheep/Heep/kangeroo and all other versions of this game.

But it seems unfair to label Blunkett as bad as me........ Very Happy

by compelling and rich Tue 24 Jul - 20:59

so is it two answer per question?

by paperbag_puncher Tue 24 Jul - 21:01

compelling and rich wrote:so is it two answer per question?

Yeah if you send me two lists of answers to the one set of questions. You can have two completely different sets of answers or have the same answer for some questions etc. Just a different twist to the game..

by **superflyweight** Tue 24 Jul - 21:22

Can I please have permission to get huffy when people get their geography wrong on the South American question? Wrong answers should score zilch.

by TopHat24/7 Tue 24 Jul - 21:31

I can see the controversy already Superfly.

Do you call it a North America, Latin/Central America, South America split? Or is it just North and South? In which case where is the split? Panama Canal? Mexico is in NAFTA therefore should it be North America despite being a Latin country? The arguments are endless.......!! Smile

by **superflyweight** Tue 24 Jul - 21:40

I've gone with the map, Top Hat.

If I was an unprincipled points scrounger there is one very obvious answer that is screaming out. However, when my answer(s) invariably turn out to be aces, I know that I'll be able to go home tonight and look my daughter in the eye and declare that I took a stand against the decline in Sheep standards and got my geography right!

It's a noble stand to take superfly and I thought about doing similar but then decided geographical accuracy was no match for unscrupulously scrounged points.

Can someone explain how double entry works?
