Eredisheepe returns!!!! This time with monster trucks!! All are welcome ... wethers, rams, cossets, lambkins, and yearlings ... whether you played with us last season, or are new to the flock. I'm talking to ewe!! Can @etsjay repeat as Eredisheepe champion? Were the relegations of @VixPix, @OwlSaver, and @buzzkiller23 a fluke? How will @ScottP from DE, @frobisherthepenguin1, and @Cherry Hill SOB fare after being promoted? Let's find out! -------------------------------------- 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, 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 or around 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!
Yeah!!! Sheep time, something to look forward to while the Union crash and burn. I've been growing my beard since the last round and now look like Nat Borchers only with less hair on top.
That's unfair to everyone else. The Little Old Band from Texas just happens to be right in my wheelhouse.

I get that but who else on earth, let alone BS, thinks of this specific version of Risk in the context of answering the question and having the most common answer possible?
