Eredisheepe Apertura 2015

It's baaaaaaack.



What better way to help distract us all from the poor play and pathetic results than this fun game!

What is the Sheep game, you may ask?

It's pretty simple, and if it takes more than 10 minutes of your time every week, then you're doing it wrong. Each week I'll post 15 questions, and all you have to do is answer them within a couple days. There is a catch, however ... 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 "What's the best city in Pennsylvania?" you might be tempted to answer Reading, Philadelphia, or wherever you live. BUT, you'll get more points if you say Chester (for example), because that's what most people will probably answer. Thus, the game's name ... you're a sheep, and will 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. 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. If more people join in the next week - and new players are ALWAYS welcome - and we're up to 20 players, then the winner for the second week would get 20 points, second place gets 19 points, and so on and so on. The winner each week will also get 5 bonus points.

Playing:

In general, I'll try to post the questions on Tuesday evening or by lunchtime on Wednesday each week, and everyone will have about 48 hours to get their answers in ... by noon on Friday, so I have time to compile the answers and post the results.

Please, please, please don't post your answers in this thread - or any other thread on the board for that matter!

Let me know your interest, and maybe we can start this up tomorrow.

 

Trying to put together a google form like @mrdivothead did. Hopefully it works. Fingers crossed.

 

Never done one of these Google Forms before, but they seemed to work well the last time we played.

Might have some growing pains with this, so please be patient with lil ole me.

That said, may I present the WEEK 01 questions for Eredisheepe Apertura 2015.

Yes. I thought it said that, tho.

Safari so goodie ... 4 participants.

 

Only 6 participants? C'mon, folks. I thought we all needed a distraction from the soccer specific stuff.

3 1/2 hours left until week 1's questions close.

 

Thanks to @Phillyspur I'm putting this post here to let people know they should head into the OT section of the Union's forum and participate in our sheep league.

We only have 6 players. The more the merrier. Questionnaire closes at noon(ish) today.
