Anyone Interested in playing in a sheep league?


What is the Sheep game?It's pretty simple and will only take 3-10 minutes of your time every week. Every week I'll post questions, and all you have to do is PM me the answers within a few days. However, the catch is that there aren't necessarily any right or wrong answers, the idea is to try to guess what the most popular answer would be. For example, if the question is "best city in Ohio?" you might be tempted to answer Dayton or Sandusky or wherever you live, but you'll get more points if you say Columbus, because that's what most people will probably answer. Thus, it's called the Sheep Game. You'll score points based on the number of people who answer the same as you do.
Scoring: The weekly winner will get the same number of points as the number of players each week. For example, if 15 people play in one week, the winner would get 15 points, second place would get 14 points, and last place would get 1 point. But if more people join in the next week and 20 people play, then the winner for the second week would get 20 points. The winner each week will also get 5 bonus points.

Playing: In general, I'll try to post the questions on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday each week, and then give everyone about 48 hours to get their answers in. Don't post your answers in this thread (or any other thread on the board)! PM them to me instead.




Can you guys read the regular thread just not post? Because if not, I will post questions on both threads.

I disagree though. I think you should allow users to post their answers in the threads. After all, they have an incentive to lie and distort the final answers distributed in the PMs. :thumbup:

That is correct. Read only access except for the politics forum.

Sorry man. It doesn't work well that way. Too many people get similar scores. Part of the fun about sheep league is knowing there is a slim chance you mess up an answer and get a score of 1
