The Return of Sheep - RESULT

by **seanmichaels** Wed 02 Dec 2015, 12:50 pm

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.

Overall placings, and the new........

What's the lead time on results? 2-3 days?

by **seanmichaels** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 12:08 pm

Sometime betwee 3pm and 4pm today. This isn't a Windows run quiz. I need to work out what to do if 2 answers are equal for one question......

by Stella Thu 03 Dec 2015, 12:09 pm

Tino took three weeks once Very Happy

by Alistair Thu 03 Dec 2015, 12:10 pm

You didn't have that worked out before you started? Have you learned nothing from successfully run quizzes on here?

Schoolboy error going with Oliver over Gladiator; and completely forgetting Forest Gump.

NO!

Platoon.

by MIG Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:11 pm

Not sure I understand the points scoring. I got 8/10 of those films which alone would add up to 128 which is more than what I got. Thats not including any points for the other 2 guesses that weren't the most popular?
Maybe I shouldn't be rocking the boat here as I'm in 2nd but I'm confused.

by Alistair Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:15 pm

I think it's the ten most popular answers that are selected, then your score is based on that. The top 5 are awarded points for the round.

Sean probably cocked up your score. But you don't get points if your pick wasn't the popular choice.

by **ShahenshahG** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:15 pm

This is why he ain't in the culture cup.

by MIG Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:17 pm

Cheers for clearing that up, got it now.

by Guest Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:19 pm

Me and Tina have the same score...I'm so happy I could carve a smiley face into the torso of my next victim.

by nadeem2099 Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:19 pm

"McKellen -Lord of the rings"

You nerds! I hope magneto does you all in whoever chose lotr.

by Scottrf Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:33 pm

Damn, missed Forrest Gump or would be top.

by Bull Thu 03 Dec 2015, 4:45 pm

Aww man, I'm going to behind now!

by compelling and rich Thu 03 Dec 2015, 5:04 pm

8/10 not bad, although cant believe people choose spiderman over platoon. genuinely struggled on williams, no real massive stand out film. i went with good will hunting just because it was his most acclaimed role

Yep, you're both on 0 with most of the rest of us Smile

by 1GrumpyGolfer Thu 03 Dec 2015, 5:54 pm

If you had Scarface for Al Pacino, or Platoon for Defoe, blame Trebs whose choices ended the stalemate with The Godfather and Spiderman respectively.

Defoe - Spiderman 12
Pacino - Scarface 12

Michaels, this suggests that Trebs' choice of The Godfather and Spiderman beat out Scarface and Platoon. Did you balls up the explanation or the winner?

Wouldn't have happened under Tina's watch but we'd still be watching for results at this point.

My points total is wrong too however it would make 3/5 of f*ck all difference to my chances of scoring points but it does call into question, yet again, the ability of Michaels to run a quiz. It's been said before, and I'll say it again, this ain't no Culture Cup 2.0

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 6:12 pm

Great first round Sean, really well run and a greatly entertaining quiz so far. Top work buddy!

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 7:17 pm

Agreed Dolphin. Nice to see a quiz that will most likely end before I die. So what if it's a bit too complicated for some of the chaff we get on here.

by 1GrumpyGolfer Thu 03 Dec 2015, 7:34 pm

Which one didn't you pick Dolph; Twister or Sexy Beast?

by ChequeredJersey Thu 03 Dec 2015, 7:38 pm

Gods, you people have terrible taste in movies

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 7:38 pm

I picked both of those. I can't say i'm at all sure why I've got the points I've got but its still the best quiz ever at this current moment.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 7:39 pm

Tisn't taste, CJ, its all about what will resonate and pick up the most picks.

Ah yes. Those famously "non-nerdy" comic book movies... Wink

by 1GrumpyGolfer Thu 03 Dec 2015, 8:18 pm

Ah yes, I obviously went to the same maths classes as Michaels. You missed one of the films worth 12 points.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 10:15 pm

If anyone disputes their points total let me know. There will be one change. Will get next round out tomorrow morning thumbsup

by **Galted** Thu 03 Dec 2015, 10:22 pm

You pack of f*cking bastards, having a quiz behind my back. And not just any quiz, a quiz that is well run if not quite up to Culture Cup standards.
