The Sheep Cup - aaronjennings - 19-07-2022

Yes - another new Sheep format! Smile

I don't want to scare people off by attempting to explain the format in full - I've tried, and even though it makes perfect sense, it is difficult to summarise, so I'll try to keep it as brief as possible Big Grin

All you have to do is answer the following 15 questions, just like you would a normal game of Sheep, trying to pick the most-popular answers. Research is allowed, so Google, Bing, etc. are all available to you. The questions are:


Something you might have a collection of
A book that has been adapted into a TV show
A foreign currency
An Irish Eurovision winner
A country in Scandinavia
A structure that is over 1000 years old
An Irish college/university
A poem by William Wordsworth
A national flag with more than three colours
A famous double-act
An island nation in the Pacific Ocean
A sports venue in Ireland
A wife of King Henry VIII
A common office item
A sports movie


However, unlike a normal game of Sheep, which is essentially played out as a 'league' format, this game will be played out as a 'cup' format - you will be randomly paired against another player, and you have to outscore them over a number of questions to advance to the next round

The entire tournament will be played out using these 15 questions, so you don't have to worry about any time commitments or daily check-ins, you just have to submit these 15 answers and your work is done Smile

Because this is being played out as a cup format, there must be a limit of 16 players allowed, and sign-ups will only close when we reach that total

Good luck one and all, I think it will be a fun one Smile

EDIT: Sign-ups for people who want to compete for the Side Prize will close at 6pm next Monday

RE: The Sheep Cup - nothing - 19-07-2022

In!

RE: The Sheep Cup - Leg End Reject - 19-07-2022

I'll get answers in tomorrow and apologies in advance to the unfortunate player paired with me.

RE: The Sheep Cup - Zaph - 20-07-2022

I demand that Liz and Mam of 4 are pitted against one another. It'll be epic!

RE: The Sheep Cup - aaronjennings - 20-07-2022

You'll have to pray to the randomizer for that one Big Grin

RE: The Sheep Cup - ari101 - 20-07-2022

And I'm in 🎉

RE: The Sheep Cup - Jluv - 20-07-2022

RE: The Sheep Cup - lorcand1990 - 20-07-2022

RE: The Sheep Cup - aaronjennings - 20-07-2022

We are up to 9 entries already, whch means there are only 7 spots remaining

However, if anyone wishes to send their answers in after we have passed the 16-player threshold, those answers will be counted in determining the winner, so feel free to do so Smile

RE: The Sheep Cup - Leg End Reject - 21-07-2022

In, hope I'm not late!

RE: The Sheep Cup - Mam of 4 - 21-07-2022

In , if I'm too late, maybe it's for the best 😁

RE: The Sheep Cup - aaronjennings - 21-07-2022

Have to admit, this is filling up much quicker than I expected it to Smile

With Mam's entry, there is just one more spot available for anyone who wants to take part in the Cup

But remember, even if you aren't able to make the first 16 entries, your answers will still contribute to the game...

...And news just in...

There is now a new side prize, which is available to everyone, so get those entries in Big Grin

Edit: And Homer makes it 16 Big Grin

RE: The Sheep Cup - lorcand1990 - 21-07-2022

If there's anyone who hasn't entered yet and wants to take part in the competition, I'm happy to jump aside and just be included in the side prize!

This is not the European Super League... you can't withdraw that easily Big Grin

This filled up a lot quicker than I expected, so I won't be able to host the reveal until next Monday

So if anyone wants to submit their set of answers to compete for the Super-Secret Side Prize - and remember, your answers will also be counted in the Cup, which will influence who wins and loses - then you have until 6pm next Monday to do so Smile

@BuileBeag and @Sephiroth_Dude are ye ever going to do the reveal of the sex game? It seems to be on your minds ...

Yes. It will be happening very soon! Lets all do some personal grooming. Someone get some candles. Someone else pick some tunes to get us in the mood!

Will it be this weekend??? Probably not... 
Sometimes you think you're gonna get it
But you don't and that's just the way it goes

But will it be next weekend?? Maybe...

I swear I won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
Just look in my eyes
You've all waited so long 
Out in the cold
But you can't take much more 
You're losing control
You want our sex game
You want our love
You want our sex game....

RE: The Sheep Cup - HildaSilvioOgden - 21-07-2022

Am I too late to enter this? Probably weekend before I get a chance to do it.
