Sheep Game B (a Single Submission Game - Results!)
« on: December 13, 2012, 04:33:32 pm »

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. Ballet
2. Below
3. Bigger than a Breadbox
4. Bonus
5. Botany
6. Brian/Bryan
7. Bridge
8. British
9. Britney Spears
10. Buddhism

Deadline is one week from this post.

It may be wise to wait until the results for game A are posted to see what sort of answers are popular, but I figured you could go ahead and start thinking about this week's categories.

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.

Well, it's unlikely I'll do even worse than I did the last time.

And some of these categories look really hard to get a lot of points on. I may even do better. Will think up some things.

I can't decide whether (3) or (9) will have the most amusing answer set.

Note: I am going to disallow "ballerina" as a possible answer for "Ballet", under the don't include the category/part of the category clause.

Is the plural form of a word considered a different answer from its singular form?

...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.
