Sheep Game A (a Single Submission Game - Results!)
« on: December 06, 2012, 07:16:15 pm »

Another popular one from the Grey Labyrinth, though I don't know where it originates.

In Sheep, each player submits 5 answers for each of 10 categories. The goal is to give what you think will be popular answers amongst the other players. Your score for each answer is the number of players (counting yourself) who submit that answer, unless you submit a "Black Sheep" (no one else submitted it) in which case you get nothing. The answers can range from examples of the category ("Eagle" or "Larry" for Bird), to components of the category ("Beak"), to various forms of word association ("Lady" or "Burred"). Answers should not, however, include the category or a part of the category; for example, if the category is Cards, don't submit "Playing Cards", but "Playing" is fine.

Outside research is fine, but no collusion.

I will be lenient with alternate spellings/misspellings, capitalization, and abbreviation. Any other differences will be considered as two different answers. You can hedge if you aren't sure which version others will go for (i.e. for Zen Master you could submit both "Coach Jackson" and "Phil Jackson", and these will be treated as two separate and distinct answers, despite being the same person), though it's not usually wise.

Please submit your answers as follows:

"1. [Category] - [Answer], [Answer], [Answer], [Answer], [Answer]
2. etc."

Categories

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Adam
3. Adjective
4. Ambassador
5. Anatomy
6. Ancient
7. Answer
8. Anti
9. Astronomy
10. Athlete

Entry sent by PM, though I used semi-colons between answers rather than commas.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

What if I play with the intent to have NO matches with anyone, but with answers that still make sense for the categories?

This is the approach I took the first and only time I played Dixit.

Sounds like it could mess the game for others.

not really, most likely it'll be just like you didn't submit an entry at all. you'll get zero points and not affect anyone else's score.

I don't know, this is a pretty eclectic group.  Even designed "misses" might match something, as long as the answers do conform to the category given.  Though I suppose it depends on the kingdom category and the number of entries.

I'm petty confident in some categories, but think I'm way off the mark in others.
