Moderators please feel free to move this if I am in the wrong sub-forum.
I am throwing out ideas for Forum Games....if anybody else wants to join in.
Starting with some old favourites from Boards:
Elephant - a Sheep where each answer has to start with the last letter of the previous answer. You will be penalised in some way if you get your start letter wrong. Strictly speaking, from the second answer on, if you see what I mean! This has a similar frustration to Alphabet Sheep!
Kangaroo (the last one (Doctor Who) was started on Boards but the Reveal was placed on this site) - a Sheep where you want to give the most popular incorrect answers and correct answers are penalised.
Sheep Wordplay - You are given a load of words and you have to give answers with them placed as the end of a bigger word, or as part of a phrase. Examples: Able becomes Table or Able might become Cain and Able. Another sheep variation.
Emu - a Sheep with a twist. You are trying to come up with the most popular answer in all but one question. If you sheep in all the questions, your score is reduced to zero. Evil Emu! In the one I saw on Boards, it was 4 questions, but nothing to stop us having more questions!
Ones I just made up (some of which are totally unrealistic):
Greatest Minor Hits Tournament. You nominate some songs to the tournament host that charted in the UK (Top 100/75 - that varied over the year) or in the US (Hot 100), but did not reach the Top 40. The rules are pretty simple after that. The host holds a number of rounds and people vote on the songs in each round. Usual terms and conditions: time limits, secret PMs for final(s), etc.
EEPSH - Like Heeps, except that you are looking for the third most popular answer. You will be penalised in some way for Sheeping or Heeping! This could be a real head-wrecker!
PEEHS-1 - Like PEEHS, except that you are looking for the second least popular answer. No Googling etc., and you are penalised for getting a PEEHS as well as an incorrect answer. A particularly cruel head-wrecker!
Okay, just a bit of brain-storming. Some ideas might come out of it.
