Sheep - a forum game

[Veggie Legs]

Either is fine by me. I've run several in the past and can't commit at this moment in my life to due being tied down to work and studying at the same time.

Wasnt Vegetable up for running one before Tffocalypse? Or was it Aberstone?? Or Lee? I dunno just throwing names out there. There is however a lot of long time Sheep regulars, who have never run a season so it would be great if one of the old timers could step up to the plate, and keep this finest of forum games ticking over.

Yeah, it was me. I thought it was about time I ran a season given how many I've played. I've got a lot of questions planned but if THoD wants to go first then that's fine with me.

Tbh you're pretty much on the money there Spiredey. Well apart from the fact that Gandalf was a TFF Wars jobber & nobody compared to the likes of Howard.

Feel free to go first mate. I only offered as I didn't think anyone else had.

Thought I remembered you saying so at some point Veggie.
As you say though let THoD run his first though if he's willing, as it seems he is!!
At least this way we've got the next 3 seasons covered with yourself, THoD and Ciderhead96 all up for running one.

Good times.

While there's no doubting Howard's status as a Super Best Friends and TFFWars legend, to call Gandalf a jobber and a nobody is stretching things a bit. He was our launch pad to victory (I think only Morgan Freeman had a better win/fight ratio), raking in the money, winning the 4 weekly tournaments and basically allowing us to quietly go about our business building a roster of characters that no one else could hold a candle to.

As I alluded to earlier though, TFFWars would have been a poorer place without the likes of Howard,Bulbasaur, Super Meatboy etc.

All it was lacking was Zippy from Rainbow, and maybe even Bungle and George too. Zippy to me, was what Staypuft was to Rammy, I'd even thought up his ability- 'Nip From The Zip' yet still Oaf declined to include him. As current champions, we at CHAVS HQ demand that Zippy is a playable character in WarsII.

Kinell, I can talk some facts and shit when it comes to that game. I was like a man possessed in our team PM.

Sort it out boys!!

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Well played Ciderhead. I was close to putting Windass as well Typed it out but deleted it cause I felt bad since he's actually attempted suicide in the past

 

[Oaf]

Oh yeah, TFF Wars 2. Not actually touched that in a while if I'm honest. Sort of want to get my holiday out of the way before I really get on with that. But I do realise that I keep coming up with things that I want to get out of the way first...

Of course it doesn't help that me and Munkiki had a nice discussion on it going on TFF with ideas and such, which are now lost in the void. I'm pretty sure I wrote down/can remember most of it though, so it's not all bad.

I also keep thinking up other ideas for other games I'd love to run on here. TFF Wars 2 first, though!

Thanks to everyone who played and ran a round, and of course congrats to Ciderhead96 on his first Sheep title.

Oi, where's me running a game points?!

 

[Munkiki]

I was like a man possessed in our team PM.

I loved having access to each team's PM. Found it really interesting how differently people thought, loved the bluffing and second guessing going on and yet also found it frustrating how obvious some things seemed to me (from the outside) that none of you could see.

Yeah, I've lost all of that. My algorithms lost forever...

Think it would have been great at the end to open up the PM's for opposing teams to read, so we could've seen what was just plain bluffing and what was real. We at one stage certainly believed what Lee was telling us about Psycho Mantis' power, while I know we had the other teams running scared while we bluffed about the ability of The Reapers.

It was great fun to be involved in, even if we hadn't gone on to win it.

Seriously can't wait for Wars 2.....or will it just be 1FFWars??

 

[Stagat]

Where's the final table? All I'm seeing is a football team.

How/why did so many people go for a price range on the beetroot question btw?

 

[Spirederman]

Here you go Stagat

 

[Stagat]

Cheers Spire! No idea what's going on with that pic from earlier.

Sorry mate, I've edited it

NOOOOOOO. 'Kin hell. We shall rebuild!

I'm thinking just 1FF Wars. Then it can be sort of like xbox where the second console is the 360 and the third console is the One with our second game having a one in it so it looks like we can't count.

Where's the final table? All I'm seeing is a football team.

I too wondered this. SEVEN POUNDS?! How big a jar do you buy? A fucking barrel full?

 

[Veggie Legs]

Ok, I'll step up to the plate. First set of questions will be up shortly.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Here we go then, I'm sure you all know the drill by now. I might throw in a few twists in later rounds if I can think of any good ones.

Round 1

An acronym that people use online
The greatest TV series ever
A novel by one of the Bronte sisters
A men's magazine
A women's magazine
A brand of bread
The prime minister on 1st June 2015
A rugby league team
A version of Windows
A boring country


Deadline is 7pm Monday.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Excellent questions Veggie!

Guys, what can I say?!

Its been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this great game!

I joined this half way through season two, and have enjoyed every single season since! We have now just finished season 17! Stagat who would have thought?! It's all thanks to you that this was whole thing started in the first place! To win 6 seasons was fantastic. To then go on and create the Sheep Hall Of Fame and the Sheep Cup and then win 2 of those was equally amazing! Without meaning to blow my own trumpet, I think it will take a long time for some one to win 6 league titles! (When someone does, I will be back!!!!!)

This final season was a great one, with so many original ideas on how to run games. I particularly liked Spirederman's game! Ciderhead96 deserves a big mention for bossing this season! Despite completely blowing his load in the last 3 games, he put on a title winning show in the first 5 games of this season! I'm sure he will be up amongst the big boys over the coming seasons. And it's also great to see Don back up in the top two after a few seasons away!

I guess now it's down to my two main rivals over the past two years, TCM and Hooray to represent the top dogs in this game!

Thank you so much to all of you who have joined and taken part in the last 4/5 seasons, without whom this game would be no more!

Maybe one day I will be back to fight again, but for now, goodbye!

Fuckin'ell Posh. I feel like I've lost a friend after reading that.

In all seriousness though, great post mate. The world of Sheep certainly won't be the same without you being around.

Just to add, I can always remember your first reference towards me back when I first started playing Sheep, halfway through either one of yours or Tom's seasons, around Xmas 2013. I picked up points in my first few rounds( back when the scoring was different)and you mentioned me as being a new contender on the block for possible honours at the time. That's always stuck with me, and I'd like to think you were proved somewhat right. I've had 3 runners up positions, 1 in the league and 2 cup final defeats....... But??? Wasn't TCM a nearly man for a long time at one point in the history of the game?? I hope I can emulate Mike in some way and start picking up some first prizes, to do the King of Sheep's prediction a little more justice

Glad you liked the twist btw. It seemed so obvious when I thought of it, that I was surprised it hadn't been done before.

 

[TomPNE94]

Fuck off Posh, you can't resist sheep

 

[Spirederman]

Posh.....

Have we still got the HoF list by any chance? Did anyone grab it off one of those archive sites that were being used to save stuff early on after the sudden implosion of TFF?

I THINK we were up to 13 entrants of which I THINK I can remember the following..

Stagat
Yourself
Hooray
TCM
Gulliball
Spirederman
AJMarsden17
CraigBFC

and with

Jackinky, being the latest HoF'er.

Can you remember the others, or is anyone feeling aggrieved that they were in the HoF and I haven't mentioned them?? If so raise your voices.....and do the ones I've named look about right to you?? Are there any importers in there?

It would be great to be able to update the OP with any Stats that were rescued off of there.

 

[Spirederman]

My answers are in. 3 that I really struggled with.....The boring country one,The Windows version and The Greatest TV series.
It was a choice between 3 for the TV series, just hope I've gone the right way. As for the country, I have no idea if the answer I have given is a boring country. I gave it solely because whenever we have country/geographical questions this particular one always seems to score highly for some reason.

All in the opening post of the thread I think, mate.

Oh, great stuff. Cheers H. It wasn't there the last time I checked the OP, 'twas a while back mind.

 

[Gulliball]

I have entered. It's about time I got back into sheep, and I don't mean that in that manner most Aberdeenshire residents might.

 

[Stagat]

We have now just finished season 17! Stagat who would have thought?!

Yes, mate. I remember sitting on the thought of making the original thread for a couple of days, not wanting to look daft if nobody was interested. It's gone alright though, I reckon.

 

[Hooray]

That opening post needs amending, by the way. I now have 6 Sheep honours
