thats what i did
even that took a fair bit of pissing about to find

 

[Spirederman]

Just about to go and do my answers.

All we're lacking now is Cov asking for a PM of the questions 'cos he's too bone to copy and paste himself.

 

[Relentless]

i dont know the rules
im assuming we cant talk about our answers in here or anything

 

[Stagat]

You assume right my unrelenting friend. Got 25 sets of answers in already.

Also volunteered to run a round this season are:

Tom
Nick
Ciderhead
Blade
Cardsfan
Don Tonberry
last request
Spirederman

So that is probably enough? Or one more? Dunno. You lads can all get thinking of your questions I suppose. Who wants to do Round 2? Tom?

Here are the questions again for this round in case anyone can't be arsed to go back and find them:

A farm animal
A word that might come after paper
Three Australian cities
An English county not in the Cricket County Championship
A famous spaceship
A charity
A currently active wrestler
A recently retired footballer
Something made of leather
A film with a number in the title (that isn't denoting a sequel or subsequent releases in a series)

Deadline 1pm Wednesday

 

[Posh Hammer]

Oi! I've sent my questions in and I did it all by myself.

 

[Spirederman]

Answers in. Fell asleep last night before I had chance to send them. Love the fact that this forum saves everything you have pre written, even when going off site. I'd got to Q5 before nodding off, and our lass must have shut my phone down. Lo and behold, I log in before work, and there are my answers from before I passed out. Love it.
Only major worry is the Wrestling question, as I don't know who's current and who isn't.


Oh and Cooo-eeee, morning PH.

Awww bless his little cotton socks. He's learning stuff.

Struggled with the wrestler question purely because I am a wrestling fan and I have no idea who non-grappling watchers will choose.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I think I'm going to do pretty badly. I have a feeling that that the top answer to one of the questions will be an incorrect one, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

The footballer one?

 

[SUTSS]

Do incorrect answers even matter? We had this when the subject was a non-Athens based Greek football team or something like that and loads of people went for a Athens based team but it is what people say and not what is correct that matters?

 

[TomPNE94]

Correct. No wrong answers in Sheep

 

[Posh Hammer]

The footballer one?

Depends how you class the word 'recent'.

 

[TomPNE94]

Depends how you class the word 'recent'.

exactly. anyway im gonna shut up cos I don't want an angry face off stag

 

[Posh Hammer]

You never want to see Stag angry, but if there is one thing that makes him furious, it's an untimely discussion regarding controversial sheep answer.

 

[blade1889]

just to clear up, you're on about Maradonna aren't you?

 

[Stagat]

A quick reminder to our new players that it's best to send a list of answers only, and unnumbered. Makes it easier for when the people running it have to copy 'n' paste them into a spreadsheet or wherever.

Doesn't matter too much this round because I'm using a combo of pen, paper, and Microsoft Word, but people who run the next games might be using scoring tools or Excel or some other fancy bollocks and you don't want to get an angry face off Tom for making him do extra work.

Great to have new players though! Welcome to Sheep.

Cheers.

There's no penalty for giving an incorrect answer, I just didn't want to out of principle. Not sure I gave a good correct answer, mind, I've changed it and I'm still not sure about it.

 

[TomPNE94]

You certainly do not!

 

[JonBCFC]

I'm convinced I've got 2 or 3 aces this round. Some of those were bloody hard!
