Sheep is a game played over in POG that has some pretty humorous implications if applied to politics. Here's how it works. I'll have a number of questions below. You send me your answers via PM in an unnumbered, single spaced list, ala:

answer1
answer2
answer3
...
answerN

The object of the game is to answer each question with the answer that the greatest number of participants also answer. You score points equal to the number of people giving the same answer you do, and the highest total score wins. Factual accuracy is irrelevant. If I ask, "Who's the POTUS?" and 20 people answer Shaq, they get 20 points each. There will be some answers that will be scored as zero for answers to some questions -- such answers will be clearly indicated with each question -- but anything else goes. I also reserve the right to award bonus points for exceptionally funny answers, although such answers might not get you many Sheep points.

I'm going to say that research is allowed, but it probably won't really help you all that much.

I'm going to take entries at least through tomorrow evening EST, but depending on turn out, I might extend it to give people a little more time and drum up some more participation. I'll do the reveal shortly thereafter. I'll keep people posted on this as we go. Feel free to announce your participation in this thread or to ask for any clarification of the rules, but don't discuss answers to the questions, naturally.

I'm surprised people are already submitting answers without even knowing who's playing. I would think there would be an advantage to knowing that information.
