Sheep - a forum game

[hodge]

Question 3 I've had to be stingy on unfortunately, although one member appears to have misread the question to much hilarity.

Question 3: A fictional football team.


MK Dons - Aberstone

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Why do I always change my mind and get it wrong. Queen Vic first thing that comes to mind but no, Coronation Street is older so I'll change to that. Fuck sake.

Exactly my reasoning.

 

[Aberstone]

If you meant me, no I read the question properly.

 

[StagsForLife]

Mansfield was going to be renamed Harchester United at one point... lucky we kicked the bastard who was going to do out.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

A combination of this being a drawn out round (cos of forum failures), me not putting enough twists in (which I don't like all of the time), and other things which people can speculate on, I imagine. Plus members like Steady/Bish/Tom don't spend as much time on here anymore I suppose.

Only two people sent in a 2nd list, and while they both corrected guessed 3 aces, gaining themselves 15 points, they got 7 wrong which means they lost 21 points, giving them a subtotal of -6 onto their overall score. Those people are Richard Cranium and Jackinky. Cranium's gamble also means he loses out on points.

 

[Magic]

Perfect round but for the pub question. Even when I decided to change from my instinct, I knew it was a bad idea! Argh!

 

[Murphy]

After Round 5 we have the tightest sheep title in a generation. Who will win it? Will it go down to the wire?

 

[Murphy]

New Round, New Questions. NORMAL SHEEP, answers to be in by 6PM SUNDAY.

1) A Domestic Cup competition outside the UK.
2) An F1 track.
3) A member of the Suicide Squad.
4) An actor in any Expendables Film.
5) A Television news presenter.
6) A football federation that isn't UEFA.
7) A team that will win the Champions League this season.
8) An actor to have played Doctor Who.
9) An ice cream brand.
10) A Spice Girls hit.

A combination of this being a drawn out round (cos of forum failures), me not putting enough twists in (which I don't like all of the time), and other things which people can speculate on, I imagine. Plus members like Steady/Bish/Tom don't spend as much time on here anymore I suppose.

Wouldn't say it's anything to do with this season in particular, just natural after over 6 months solid interest will start to drift a bit.

Might be an idea to have a little break in the not too distant future, just to keep it fresh

And never even heard of Harchester United ffs

 

[Cardsfan]

Yeah, you've run it very well Murph so it's nothing to do with you. The seasons have gone on non-stop since this forum started (7 months) so a break would probably rejuvenate it like it did with Tom's back in the day.

 

[Alty]

Would have won had I remembered it was harchester united, not rovers. Gah.

 

[StagsForLife]

Obviously this season hasn't finished yet but I have an idea to rejuvenate it and reinvent the wheel after a break.

 

[blade1889]

The Sun is a brilliant paper, only for the intelligent upper classes that.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Winter break for Sheep? I hate change

 

[markpvfc]

Bump. Had to go to the 2nd page to find this thanks to all Martino's threads.
