Sheep - a forum game

[Rammy]

Point in 5 from 8 rounds is nothing short of miraculous from me, thus this is my favourite season ever. Cheers Munks.

 

[StagsForLife]

Sounds decent.

What are you thinking... 10/11 teams of 4+? 14+ teams of 3? Standard 8 rounds so ~32 (+6-8 from cup/plate) medals available? Or more?

41 players were classified in your sheep table so assuming the numbers stay the same I am thinking 7 teams of 5 plus a team of 6.

There will be 24 medals up for grabs within the rounds and 6 available in the cup/plate. Gold will be worth 3 points, Silver will be worth 2 points and 1 point. This will mean there's only 3 places to get valuable medals but it will mean that there will be more of a team effort to do well.

The cup and plate will offer an individual player to succeed and accomplish a victory within sheep while also gaining a medal for their team.

Won't teams just start a PM and agree on one answer for each question to score points?

Well obviously like the GSM there would be no way of stopping that but in the spirit of the game if we don't allow it then hopefully everyone would abide by it. Also if it ended up getting suspicious then points could be deducted e.g each member of the team had the same answer for each question.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I like the concept. Go for it If we can get the numbers.

I've been playing for long enough now so I feel like I maybe should run a season eventually. I am ruling myself out of the next one though as I've finally had a good season and want to improve on that next time!

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Realised at half time during the City game tonight that I'd completely forgot about sheep. Was delighted to see I'd won the plate, commiserations Tom. Great season Munkiki, cheers.

 

[MSB92]

I'm in for the next season, the Olympics sounds awesome.

 

[StagsForLife]

I reckon I'll put my idea on hold until the next season so I can get everything right and sorted. Glad to see there is interest for it though.

 

[Ciderhead]

Liking that idea a lot Stags!

I'm up for running one in the interim, seems a good time to do it now my form's gone down the shitter Probably be more of a classic sheep season, with the odd bonus round thrown in, maybe my own ideas or a couple of old favourites, depending on how original I can be!

Anyway, if it's all good with everyone I can post up some questions later today

NOW DO IT NOW

 

[Jackinky]

Yep, defiantly up for another season.

 

[SUTSS]

Go for it Ciderhead!

 

[JonBCFC]

Yeah good idea stags, potential to be an excellent idea... Do your season Cider... Just remember I'm a fellow city supporter

 

[HarvSFC]

Yep, defiantly up for another season.

We've moved on from that question buddy.

 

[Stagat]

We've moved on from that question buddy.

I scored a fucking ace with that answer too.

Honestly mate, if you can't figure out a way to make it impossible to bend the rules and we're relying on trusting other teams' members not to PM each other, I'd be more inclined not to run it. Too much potential for cheating, false accusations, and general distrust of other teams.

 

[SUTSS]

You could do it in a way where you had teams and then had events so not everyone was entering every set of questions. So you could have 8 rounds each of two events with teams of 4 and you could enter 2 people into each event or something like that. Would be more work for Stags but would make cheating less worthwhile.

 

[Ciderhead]

Are you suggesting that I may allow my integrity to be compromised by club loyalties...?

 

[Leewilson]

9. A black manager

But......but......they just don't get the opportunities they deserve.

 

[JonBCFC]

Fucking right I am!

 

[Ciderhead]

Fucking right I am!

If you wait til 4:30 I'll send you a list of the top answers

 

[SUTSS]

That last question is an interesting one.

 

[Shrimpurh]

This is going to be a poor round for me

 

[Cardsfan]

But......but......they just don't get the opportunities they deserve.

But I am Sol Campbell.

 

[Bottega Don]

Never played Sheep before but I have decided to give it a go this season.

I like Stags idea for sheep too, possibly to do it next season.

 

[JJH]

First round - let me off if I'm fucking shite

 

[JJH]

Also - Olympic's Sheep sounds awesome!

I'm not a complete newb, I gave it a go on TFF - not that I was any good at it

 

[hodge]
