The Return of Sheep - RESULT

First topic message reminder :

Sheep is back albeit without the late (great) host paperbag_puncher.

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "culturally" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. You would PM me your answers for each round. So for example if in a sports round I asked name a boxing heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. There will be 10 questions in each round. Whoever gets the most points in each round of questions wins. There will be 5 rounds in each season provided the pilot is successful.

Points will be awarded to the first 5 players in each game no matter how many players.

1st -10
2nd-7
3rd-5
4th-3
5th-1

If there is a tie for a position players will get equal full points for their position, eg if 3 people tie for 1st then all 3 will get 10 points each. Games must have a minimum of 10 players. The winner of each season will be the person with most points after the 10 games. If level after 10 games the winner will be decided by how many 1st places a person had and so on.

Windows had Black Mamba (along with Mrs Windows) and Brazilian Wandering Spider
You had Black Tiger Snake and Black Widow (the most popular)

Adam will be ahead of me by 3. Because in this round the winner won as many points as I've won in all the previous rounds put together. If I had a pram my toys would be flying everywhere right now.

maybe I should do the opposite for normal rounds and pick what I would expect to be the second most popular answers

Since it's nearly Xmas, must say that this has been a superbly run comp michaels. Previous comp runners would still be making us wait for R2 at this point...

I have done probably 10 minutes work this week so far. Even by 606v2 standards of workmanship that is fecking lazy and allows me a lot of time to pi55 about with quizzes.

Good result for ostriches - 1st and 2nd most popular non-flying bird.

Edit - that's not right. It's in 2 different categories. An even better result for ostriches.

1st most popular non-flying bird (2nd was penguin). 2nd most-popular animal with a long neck (1st was giraffe). Honestly it's not that hard to keep up! Clearly sean's quiz-running abilities are just too fast for some on here, which might explain the completely undeserved deluge of complaints he's drowning in.

Horse was mentioned a few times for animal with a long neck. I thought they just had a long face. Surprised Celine Dion didn't pick up a few nominations.....

Its funny I thought Garfield for big cats too. But that was the first thing that came to mind so I had to go for my second choice.

did rubbish again, second guessed myself few times and went with few popular ones thinking people would avoid them. was going to go trex but one of the few questions i didnt go popular and would have done myself out of points if i did anyway

Table updated.

Questions for the 6th and final round out this morning.

Beautiful choice of snake, Ziggler.

I'm proud of you.

Just bumping. Last round

Next premier league manager to be sacked just got a bit harder...

For those still to vote you can of course go for mourinho if you thought that is what most people would saY

So, based on when you asked the question we should still answer in that manner? Can't think that many other people would say someone other than Mourinho anyway.

sad state of affairs when my ski resort knowledge comes from dumb and dumber!!

Right, results will be coming out reasonably shortly. For suspense I'll do the pot luck questions first, do a league table and then add the special bonus round

Will Ferrell is a C*nt

Shocking last round for super. Ferrell and Fairytale of NY would have bagged him the title.

I am a Sheep! Or Sheep Champion!?....
Either way, well pleased with that. Thanks Sean for a very enjoyable and well run competition!
Do I get a sheep banner of some sort for that?

I'll take 4th overall, considering I only joined half way through.

Congratulations sean on a superbly run competition, it was quick, accurate and enjoyable, all things which such a thing should be.

bottom in the last two rounds

bunch of philistines!

Clearly I'm not very good at this game, the only round I did well in was the heap round, where I didn't actually know it was a heap round, so gave the most popular answers I could think of!

In all seriousness though, "Silent Night!" what a dreadful dirge, you people have shocking taste!

thanks sean anyway, been good fun

If there is another round ewe will be acknowledged in the Hall of Fame.

I can't be arsed to go back through the emails but someone had Jingle Bells as the greatest Christmas song. I also had to google Ali's carol. Oh holy night????

My personal favourite poster has been Nadeem. Some high quality Sheep answers. Legendary.

"Oh holy night" is a very decent carol, certainly far superior to the awful dirge that is "silent night".

Also, I think 'twas I who had Jingle Bells as the greatest Christmas song, I may have misunderstood that one
