[Closed] Alphabet Sheep - Necro's Revenge

[Necro]

Welcome to another edition of Alphabet Sheep - this time it's personal!!

I have put together a compilation of questions from various sheep, heeps and peehs played on both FoG and on our old homespace, Boards.ie

(with thanks to former hosts @E.N., @nothing, @Baggly, @ari101, @Wichita Lineman, @HeyV, @Butty Brennan and @cee_jay - I've ripped you all off for my own game - SUCKS TO BE YOU  )

Below is a list of 26 questions. Standard, run of the mill questions that you've seen a good few times before. BUT, here's the catch this time.

Each of your answers must begin with a different letter of the alphabet!!



They don't need to be in order (ie A, B, C) or anything, you just can't use the same starting letter twice - that will score you 0 if it happens!

To enter simply PM me an un-numbered list of answers to the below 26 questions:

1. An actor who played Doctor Who
   
2. A member of the Simpson Family
   
3. A sport
   
4. A TV quiz programme
   
5. Any former President of the USA
   
6. A colour of the rainbow
   
7. A famous architectural building in Europe
   
8. An ice cream/ice pop to cool you down
   
9. An Emirate
   
10. An Irish county
    
11. A Christmas Film
    
12. A film directed by Steven Spielberg
    
13. A sitcom
    
14. An animated TV show
    
15. A member of the Sopranos crime family
    
16. A cereal crop grown by farmers
    
17. A Petro State
    
18. A Formula 1 racing team, past or present
    
19. A Cigarette Brand
    
20. A Whiskey Brand
    
21. A reality TV show
    
22. A World Cup host country
    
23. A famous landmark
    
24. A member of the Paw Patrol
    
25. A sign of the Zodiac
    
26. The remaining letter
    

I will keep this open for at least two weeks with a possible reveal on the evening of March 16th (assuming no interruptions such as Necrina having the baby    )

Any questions, simply ask!

Woohoo! My first ever sheep was an Alphabet sheep like this 🥳 I'll get my letter swapping cap on! 😅

[E.N.]

[nothing]

Ooooh yes! Gimme gimme gimme!

[nothing]

What is a petro state? Do you mean someone with the surname soprano or just part of the crime gang (I've never watched it)?

ETA: actor by first name or surname? 32 or 26 counties?

ETA2: films/shows counting The or can be worked around?

A petrostate is a nation whose economy is heavily dependent on the extraction and export of oil or natural gas.

Anyone from the Soprano crime gang so not necessarily with the same surname.

Actor can be first name, surname or surname, first name - whichever works!

Films/shows - The can be ignored if you like, or it doesn't have to be! 

[nothing]

Much thanks! Working through them now, this is going to be very interesting!

[Necro]

Oh I missed the 32/26 bit - again whatever fits, tis all Ireland at the end of the day, just don't tell the nationalists

[aaronjennings]

This was my favourite Sheep gamemode back when we played it over on Boards, very much looking forward to getting an entry in

[nothing]

Another question! Say some people choose John Doe as an answer, but some are using J and some D, will it be counted as the same answer? Ditto for The Show, being T or S!

Oh nothing you are going to go mad 🤯🤣

Doe, John and John Doe would usually be seen as different answers, I assume the same for The Show or Show, The

I'm haunted by teeth from the last one of these 🦷🤣

And if we are giving advice someone should obviously bring up the Chewbacca 🤣

[Leg End Reject]

Q. 26 - do we just give the letter?

I'll be in the corner overthinking with nothing. 🤣🤣🤣

Pffft, I spent just over an hour at it and I'm in! Was a nice distraction from real life, as will be the reveal, I fully expect I'll be at the spoon end

Can we Google    @Necro

[Necro]

I'll be in the corner overthinking with nothing. 🤣🤣🤣

 
Yep!

[Necro]

Can we Google    @Necro

You can use Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo... ask your friends or loved ones, consult a dictionary, research at the library, perform rain dances, human sacrifices (though you may want to keep that last one under wraps)
In other words, yes google is permitted!

[HildaSilvioOgden]

I did one of these way back, and as the reveal started people were posting about Chewbacca. I can't remember if I ever found out what that was about. 😂

Anyway will give this a go, thanks @Necro

[Necro]

Just for the benefit of new players.... as described by @Rikand - the Chewbacca Rule:

When presented with a question such as :: Name a non-human character in star wars, the 3 most obvious answers are :: R2D2, C3PO and Chewbacca

The elite play is to pick R2D2 because the other two selections both begin with C and therefore there could be a split of people picking those which would halve the potential score of the sheep. Hence why its called the Chewbacca rule. Because you should always pick the letter answer that only has one possible answer and not the letter answer that could be split.

[E.N.]

The problem with the chewbacca rule, is that no one else seems to follow the rules

Definitely not going back to change my answers now, we should have a list of all the unofficial sheep rules

[davetherave]

Just posting this to remind myself to fire in an entry for this later.

[cee_jay]

In! I had to get pen and paper out, there are a LOT of scribbles on the page.

[E.N.]

OK, I have it all worked out and I'm still sane!

Sent in my list there. There wasn't as much humming and hahhing and existential crisising as last time. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing 

[Declan A Walsh]

I had to chop and change a number of times. Hopefully it was worth it!

I thought I was sailing, until I noticed a mistake and had to go back swapping letters and answers..
