A sheep, a werewolf and a walrus walk into a bar.

Howdy folks!

Time to try and bring some Christmas spirit to the forum and maybe get some life back into the old girl ahead of the new year.

As part of this I'm going to be running a Christmas Trilogy! Kinda like Die Hard but with less people dying and much much more swearing.



In traditional Necro mind-bending fashion, we are going to be playing...

ELEPHANT!!!



Then KANGAROO



And finally we finish off with a lovely SHEEP!!



Rules description will be listed in the next few posts along with the questions for each round.

I'm not going to give much of a run in time here for this now though folks. Entries can be submitted up to about 2pm on Christmas Eve and I aim to reveal all 3 back to back to back - just how any trilogy should be viewed

It's not quite the advent calendar replacement but it's sure to be a bit of fun....

PART 1: ELEPHANT

Elephant is a game where the start of the next word must begin with the end letter of the word before.


Like a line of elephants walking along holding each other, trunk to tail. The Elephants get upset if their tails are not being held.


Simple enough, but it can end up being a total train wreck. Once you step off the path, getting back on again can be a mindmelt.... not that there is any set path

What you have to do was connect the tails for these set of questions....

An country in Asia
A breed of cattle
An English Premier League team
A TV show
A Stranger Things character
A snooker ball colour
A 90s song
A capital city
A Stephen King novel
A Christmas song

Google is allowed for all three legs just as an FYI

PART TWO: KANGAROO

Kangaroo is like sheep except your answers have to be factually wrong. If I ask for a comedy movie starring Tom Hanks then you could answer:

Cast Away (not a comedy)
Old School (not starring Tom Hanks)
Bosom Buddies (Not a movie)

you could also answer anything random like "Banana" or even "Bruce Willis' Jumper"

but the aim of the game is the same as sheep where you want to match others. This means answers like the first 3 are probably better than a totally random answer.

Anything that is correct scores 0 for the question.

Highest score wins.

If you have any questions about any of the legs, please feel free to ask

A decoration for your Christmas tree
A food that's traditionally eaten at Christmas
A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Movie
A Christmas Drink
A job you'd expect to be working on Christmas Day
A religion that celebrates Christmas
A Thundercat
A colour of a snooker ball
A month of the year
A season of the year
An Irish president
A number one single by Bruce Springsteen
A Forum of Games poster with more than 100 posts on the site

Again research is permitted but in this leg you cannot duplicate your answers or you'll score a big fat zero for each!

PART THREE: SHEEP!!!

If you need an explanation as to how sheep runs please just ask. I think everyone knows at this stage though... Most popular answer wins!!!


Something Santa brings bad boys and girls
Something Santa brings good boys and girls
What do you leave out for Santa?
Name something to do as a child in the snow
Someone who was (allegedly) at the stable to see the birth of Jesus
Name one of the Reindeer other than Rudolph (Rudolph = 0)
Name a present from the 12 days of Christmas song
What is a respectable time to eat Christmas Dinner?
A secret Santa present for someone you know nothing about at work
A Christmas food that is overrated


Research permitted. And away we go!

And now to summon the tribespeople

If we elephant, can you promise Seph won't run around tugging at our tails?

What if I make a donkey of myself trying to kangaroo?

Sounds great Necro.

I'll get working on these ASAP.

Will give this a go, hopefully get in on time.

Although I know elephant games usually have me wanting to tear my hair out 🤣...

I've never played elephant before as far as I remember and I already hate it. I'll get these in soon, the reveal should be great craic. 😂

If you and others need a little more time I can keep this open and do the reveal on the evening of the 27th? I don't mind holding off a few days.

Thanks Necro, I'm sitting down to do it now. It might suit others though.

I think I will hold off, have a few things on this afternoon that I didn't foresee, reveal will be evening of the 27th now so entries accepted up to 6pm or so on that date. Might be easier for people to see the reveal as well with Santa obligations, nights out etc too

Ok folks just setting up the reveal thread now and we'll be underway shortly...
