Or, in honor of the jersey number changes, Season Higuain! New players are welcome as always, just post in this thread or PM me and I'll add you to the list. What is the Sheep game? It's pretty simple and will only take 3-10 minutes of your time every week. Every week I'll post 15 questions, and all you have to do is PM me the answers within a few days. However, the catch is that there aren't necessarily any right or wrong answers, the idea is to try to guess what the most popular answer would be. For example, if the question is "best city in Ohio?" you might be tempted to answer Dayton or Sandusky or wherever you live, but you'll get more points if you say Columbus, because that's what most people will probably answer. Thus, it's called the Sheep Game. You'll score points based on the number of people who answer the same as you do. Scoring: The weekly winner will get the same number of points as the number of players each week. For example, if 15 people play in one week, the winner would get 15 points, second place would get 14 points, and last place would get 1 point. But if more people join in the next week and 20 people play, then the winner for the second week would get 20 points. The winner each week will also get 5 bonus points. Playing: In general, I'll try to post the questions on Tuesday or Wednesday each week, and then give everyone about 48 hours to get their answers in. Don't post your answers in this thread (or any other thread on the board)! PM them to me instead.

Also, for anyone wanting bonus points, the 2014 Columbus 24-hour Sci-Fi marathon is this weekend, noon Saturday March 15 to noon Sunday March 16, at the Drexel on Main St. The film lineup has been posted: noon - EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS 2:00 - THE QUIET EARTH 4:00 - METROPOLIS 6:30 - 31st Annual Costume Contest 6:45 - DELICATESSEN 9:20 - INFRA-MAN 11:30 - AKIRA 2:00 - THE HIDDEN 4:20 - REPO MAN 6:10 - THE RUNNING MAN 8:15 - DREDD 10:10 - ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK noon - Presentation of Certificates to Surviving Marathoids (if any) (all times subject to change) Details here: http://www.scifimarathon.com/ tickets: http://www.scifimarathon.com/tickets.html For anyone on the fence or who has asked in the past about the marathon, be aware that the general reaction for first-timers is something like "I wish I would've tried that sooner" or "I can't wait for the next one". The movies are fun, but the atmosphere and overall experience is usually great.
Holy Crap! Its early but suddenly I got the feeling that I'm going to get relegated after reading those questions. Edit. Cleaze, you forgot to include my division 2 championship in the list of trophies. It might be the only trophy that I'll ever have.
we should consider adding a new trophy equivalent to rookie of the year - perhaps the Lamb of the Year? perhaps even a Razz trophy for the worst drop from one season to the next - perhaps the Sacrificial Lamb Shield?
After winning the double last season, the boys are still a wee bit out of form and more than a little hung over. I don't have very high hopes for these first few rounds.
