What is THE HOUSENUTS LINE? It's basically like the Booker Line, only you're playing against housenuts. Go figure.

Here are the 8 threads comprising the 4 weeks of BOOKER LINE Sheep:
Booker Line #1
Booker Line #1 Reveal
Booker Line #2
Booker Line #2 Reveal
Booker Line #3
Booker Line #3 Reveal
Booker Line #4
Booker Line #4 Reveal

Basically, the idea is that the way to advance with a chance of victory is to score higher than housenuts does. If you score less than housenuts, you fall below the line, & are no longer eligible for victory, but should 100% keep playing for the fun, competition, shenanigans, & statistics.

If you score the same as housenuts does, you are on a slippery slope & have to beat house by 3 points or more in all future events. If you beat him by exactly sure 3 in a future event, though, you're on an even slipperier slope, & need to beat him by at least 6, & so on (zomg new rule that's almost certainly unnecessary).

Finally, in another new rules twist, which I believe was proposed earlier by ArcticKnight, if you have been eliminated for dropping below THE HOUSENUTS LINE, but win any given week's game, & have played every single game of the series to date, you are able to come back into the game on a slippery slope. So play every game yo.

I'm on vacation from the 12th to the 22nd, so this event is still 3 weeks out, but I figured I would put it up today anyway to make sure there is plenty of time for everyone to see it & get in & partake in the new trend that is sweeping the nation. After this first one, expect reveals every Friday at the same time, followed by the next set of games & some statistics pretty soon after.

Sorry for the massive wall of text, but basically it's just SHEEP. Submit a single-spaced, unnumbered list of answers to me via PM, just like always. Research allowed.

Anyway, here are the OFFICIAL WEEK 1 HOUSENUTS LINE SHEEP QUESTIONS:

1) Other than Crab House Nuts, what do you think of when you think of HOUSENUTS? (Crab House Nuts or similar = 0)
2) What is the best kind of nut that doesn't have nut in the word?
3) What is your favorite architecture style for a house?
4) Other than nuts or crazy, what is a good thing to call a crazy person? (nuts or crazy = 0)
5) Housenuts is an attorney. What's the best field of law to practice?
6) Name an adjective you would use to describe housenuts.
7) Name an adjective you would never use to describe housenuts.
8) I believe housenuts either recently got married or is going to get married some day. What is a song one should never play at a wedding?
9) Name a country with 5 letters in its name.
10) House is from Canada. Name a minor league hockey team.

Heyo

ETA: Will enter in a few weeks when there are only a few weeks left before the deadline.

1st in?

This is mathematically dubious.

Although I actually thought I was revealing in 2 weeks when I started this thread, then I got most of the way done & I was like oh...it's still 3 weeks huh? Oh well, I might as well post it anyway.

Correct.

Holy **** these are hard.

Good thing you have 3 weeks

in, below the line, accepting the fact that I'll be out ... in 3 weeks.

ha this is awesome. will enter at some point. expect middle of the pack for this one.

facts

Sheeping 101.1

Sheeps that are open for entries should be on the first page in order to attract most entrants

What in the world is a Housenut :|

All I can tell you is that 3 people have ventured an opinion as to that question, with only 18 days & 42 minutes until reveal time.

fun fact: Irish boxer Paddy Barnes has won a bronze medal in the last 2 Olympic Games and has picked up the nickname "Paddy Bronze"

Also BUMP to get this back on the first page

I think we're at 5 or 6 or something, but the thing to note is you only have 16 more days to put together an entry better than that which housenuts submitted.

fact

edit: and now resubmitted

resubmissions, in my experience, are almost always a mistake

You guys only have like 12.7 days to enter this. Not sure where your sense of urgency is???

Should help more ppl beat the line then

If people are going to beat the line they will have to submit entries.

Under 257 hours to go (all math approximate & done in my head in 2 seconds so this may or may not be accurate).

in/out

Ah... we are under a fortnight, I see...

Yup...clock's ticking. 9 days to go.

Still ticking. I'm not going to be on vacation forever...
