This game is open to everyone, whether you have played previous events or not.


This is a regular game of sheep, with a small twist. Your goal for each question is to give the answer most submitted by everyone else. You get points for matching with other people and the highest score wins!

The twist: Give two different answers for each question. Please do this by sending two separate PMs each with a list of 10 answers, labelled "Entry 1" & "Entry 2" or similar.

Each entry counts toward your score

To enter: Private message me an unnumbered list of answers in the order asked below. Twice!

Research is allowed

Feel free to PM me any questions if you are unsure of anything


Name:
  1. Something fragile
  2. A male US politician that has never been president
  3. A rugby player
  4. A province or region of China
  5. A game you might find in an arcade
  6. A supergroup (i.e. a music group whose members were already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups)
  7. A new technology
  8. A vegetable that grows above ground
  9. Something that is extinct
  10. A country with a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea

Remember: Two entries per person with two different answers for each question! It makes my life much easier if you do this in two separate PMs, so it can be automated

GL and have fun



Entries close in 30 mins, reveal starting soon after...

Just jumping in the shower after footy and then figuring out how best to reveal this monster.

We have 49 in so that means 98 answers per question; someone turbo in for triple figures!

Entries closed, Q1 has some difficult grouping decisions so might need some opinions

omg reveal
omg i think i lose this on Q1

ugh i see your dilemma
WSOS Event #3 Reveal: Double Sheep Quote
06-21-2017 , 04:28 PM
I want to group "Trump's ego" with "Male ego" and possibly both with "Ego"

Probably "egg" with "eggshell"

I don't think I can group "glassware" with "glass" because of "window", etc., but maybe "wine glass"?

Dishes, plates, china and stuck's answer I don't know...

Thoughts?

Would probably group dishes, china, plates, dishware & dishware/china.

Would probably group egg & egg shell.

Would probably group glassware with wine glass.

Would probably group all 3 ego groups.
WSOS Event #3 Reveal: Double Sheep Quote

Also, if anyone notices someone grouped with themselves, let me know. One of their answers will 0
WSOS Event #3 Reveal: Double Sheep Quote

Wow.
Dicey.

I'd probably group

Dishes - 3
dishware - accobra_kid
Plates - 2



Window - DarkMagus
Glass - 41


Egg shell - Coasterbrad
Eggs - 8

Generous mod is generous, I'm in a good mood so might do this.

Not to sound biased but I would group dishware/dishes/plates/china/stuck's.
Also egg/eggshell.
The egos.
Wine glass and glassware for sure.
Glass could mean the object (you drink from) or the material, and I think you should keep material and object separate, so I don't know if any should get grouped with it.

edit: what JM3 said

Or you could just keep all ungrouped to my benefit

I just think it depends on the type of question. Based on the broadness of the question, I think it is reasonable to group those similar concepts.

Even though it'll help me, I think china / plates grouping would be pretty bad imo.

If you're going to do it though, it implies that a specific type of plate (a china plate) should be grouped with it's general category.

In which case, Egos must be grouped together.
And wine glass needs to be with glassware
