inspired by all the 'angleshooting' in this sheep: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59...heeps-1233627/

talk as much as you want in thread.
discuss answers.
post your answers.
do whatever.

there's no resubmissions. one entry that's it. don't screw up your first entry.


Please PM answers in an unnumbered and unspaced list.

deadline is....sunday night or some time on monday. i'll likely give a max 2-hour warning. but maybe surprise close.


Only rules:

1) No discussing with players outside thread
2) No entering with gimmicks as well to boost your score


QUESTIONS NO research allowed. Angleshooting allowed though so you can research

1. someone who will enter this sheep
2. a pogger whose in thread post you will trust/rely on for your entry
3. a pogger whose in thread post you will not trust, nor rely on
4. will you post in thread? yes or no.
5. a fruit
6. a watch brand (rolex = 0)
7. what day of the week is the 350th day in the year 2104?
8. a type of fish
9. a movie with 'Angel' or 'Angels' in the title
10. a brand of suit
11. the most common number worn by baseball players
12. a cereal
13. a cut of steak
14. 1 or 2 or 3 (for this question scores will be reversed)


Example for Question 14.

10 people answer 1
15 people answer 2
5 people answer 3

Because 3 was the least answered, they score 15, because that was the most answered.
Those who answered 1 still score 10, because it was in the middle, and
Those who sheeped it (answered 2) score 5.

*If there is a tie, they will both switch.

It will suck to score, but I feel like doing it.

Happy angleshooting!

ohai

dammit housenuts, you got rid of your avatar. this new avatar is ok, but your last one was great. was it from a movie?

Will answers other than "1 or 2 or 3" for q14 score zero?

1. ShipItUp - someone who will enter this sheep
For questions like this the standard play is to just put whoever has the first reply in the thread.

2. Tom1975 - a pogger whose in thread post you will trust/rely on for your entry
You'll probably want to put someone who plays a lot of sheep and generally does well at them. I would humbly submit that myself and D1iabolical are probably the two best answers here; since D1 hasn't posted yet and I am right now, I'm going to go ahead and put myself. Once upon a time Fleebrog was the snap ldo answer here but he hardly plays sheep any more and I'd imagine there are some newer players who are unfamiliar with him.

3. bonds - a pogger whose in thread post you will not trust, nor rely on
If you buy into my theory for #2, then in this spot you'd want to put someone who plays a lot of sheep but generally does poorly. I think bonds fits the bill rather nicely as he usually puts joke answers and quite often finishes dead last.

4. yes - will you post in thread? yes or no.
I like yes for a couple reasons. It's the first choice listed (which is always a good default strategy lacking a compelling overriding reason to pick something else). Secondly, I believe due to the nature of the game a majority of players will post itt at some point.

5. apple - a fruit
apple always sheeps "name a fruit". This is a no-brainer

6. Timex - a watch brand (rolex = 0)
This is a good application of the Chewbacca rule. The Chewbacca rule states "if there are many equally good answers and they all have something in common but one, pick the one that is different from the others." In this case I believe that none of the other major luxury brands (Bulova, TAG Heuer, Citizen, Omega, Seiko) standout out from one another, so the correct play is to put a popular non-luxury brand, i.e. Timex. Also, Timex ends in -ex like Rolex, which may lead people to think of it when they see Rolex in the question.

7. Monday - what day of the week is the 350th day in the year 2104?
Since research is allowed, I looked it up. There's no reason to put something other than the correct answer here. If you want to verify this yourself remember 2104 is a leap year so there are 366 days total in the year - if you count backwards from 365 you'll get the wrong answer. Note that when I initially researched this, the first google link for "2104 calendar" was wrong. It had Wednesday as the correct answer but I checked the next five links and they all agreed on Monday.

8. goldfish - a type of fish
This always sheeps "name a fish". Don't get cute here.

9. Angels in the Outfield - a movie with 'Angel' or 'Angels' in the title
This was the first thing that popped into my head so I went with it. It was a very popular movie and had several sequels. If there's another ldo answer that I'm overlooking let me know, otherwise I think this is the best choice.

10. Armani - a brand of suit
Armani usually sheeps "name a designer" questions, plus they're known for their suits, so this is a pretty easy one.

11. 1 - the most common number worn by baseball players
Don't over think this one folks. If asked to name a number, 1 is always a good default answer unless there's some compelling reason to pick something else. I actually did some research here and found three different websites, each of which had a different answer for this question. Lacking any clear consensus, go with 1.

12. Cheerios - a cereal
There are several plausible answers here but Cheerios is the best choice. I found 3 old sheeps which had this same question and Cheerios was the sheep in 2 out of 3. In the other one it came in second behind Lucky Charms, but that was only because the preceding question in that game was "name a lucky charm"

13. Filet Mignon - a cut of steak
This is generally considered the best cut of steak and is therefore the best answer here. You may disagree that this is the best cut of steak, but this is sheep - it doesn't matter what you think, it matters what everyone else thinks.

14. ??? - 1 or 2 or 3 (for this question scores will be reversed)
You're on your own here. If this were a normal qustion 1 would be the ldo snap answer. From this point it just becomes a Nashian mind**** leveling exercise. I'm not even sure what I'm going to put yet tbh.

So we're supposed to talk bull**** like the WW people do, I guess.

^^^ Tom doing God's work itt.

I think Charlie's Angels might be a better movie answer but I don't think it matters much.

Interesting idea for a sheep. I'm not quite sure how this will turn out.

charlie's angels was the LDO snap answer

there's a movie called "Angels"

Don't overthink it
