In standard sheep, the object is to guess the most popular answer on each question. You get 1 point for each player that gave the same answer as you.

This game is like standard sheep, but with a couple twists:

Booby Trap -- On one question, you can pick an answer to booby trap. Each player (except yourself) who gave your trapped answer gets a penalty worth 1/5 the number of entrants, rounded up (so with 20 entrants, the booby trap would be -4 points). If multiple players booby trap an answer, the penalties add up (except with insurance).

Insurance -- You can insure two answers. On an insured answer, only the first booby trap counts against you, and only for 1/2 its value.

If you haven't played this before, I recommend you have a look at the previous run of this game (entry thread -- reveal) to get an idea of how it plays out.

How to enter:

Send me your answers by PM in an un-numbered, single-spaced list, indicating your booby trapped and insured answers like this:

You can write (BOOBY TRAP) to booby trap your own answer (remember your own trap doesn't count against you) or (BOOBY TRAP: _____) to booby trap a different answer. You can insure and booby trap on the same question, if you like.

Remember you can only booby trap ONE question in total.

Here are the questions...

• Something on a car dashboard
• A gambling game other than poker
• A power tool
• A fictional doctor
• A famous woman in history (before 1500 AD)
• Something you bring when going camping

Research allowed.

Reveal next Wednesday, April 26th. Feel free to ask any questions about the format in this thread.

Good luck

Bump... Still just 7 in. Under 36 hours left

Based on lack of interest I prob won't run another of this format so why not get in the last game!

Boo!!by trap

more people should enter and we should do more of these after a break

it's nice to give formats a rest but don't retire it just yet

Yeah i don't know if people are on vacation or just a bit sheeped out (we had a lot so far this year), but games definitely seem to have been getting smaller in the last few weeks

Oh and 9 are in with ~24 hours remaning

In. This one felt harder than the others.

that's what she said

Some of the bold I think. Plus, we just had some really big games, and JM3 is running the 200Q game...

in. FWIW I love this format, so I hope to see more in the future, even if there's a break for a bit.

There ARE a lot of games, seems to me...which is great but it means I occasionally miss one or two.

ok

I need to enter

THIS IS NOT MY FAULT

13 in now. Hope to see a few more in the next 7-8 hours

in soon
