SqueakSheep I: Little Bit Sheeper Now
Announcement – 7/19
Questions Posted – 7/20
Game Starts – DYOR
PLEASE READ THE RULES
SHEEP - The object of Sheep is to think alike. For each question, give an answer that you think is going to be the most popular. For example, a question might be something like, “Name a popular Jamband”, A good answer would be Phish, A bad answer would be Leftover Salmon.
Each question is then scored by its replies. Let’s say there’s six participants and of those, three said “Phish”, two said “SCI” and one said “Leftover Salmon” — The Phish players would each get 3 points, the SCI players 2 points, and the Deep Leftover Salmon player 0 points. You have to match at least one other person to score points. There are no wrong answers in sheep, if you match someone, you score points.
REVERSE SHEEP For RS questions you want to find a correct answer that nobody else will answer. If the question is “ (RS) Name an album by The Grateful Dead”, A good answer would be Built To Last, a bad answer would be American Beauty.
For Reverse Sheep unique answers are counted as 0. If you answer the same as anybody else you will lose that many points. Take the Grateful Dead question, if 5 people answer with American Beauty, each player will lose 5 points.
Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep will counts as 2 points below the most popular answer.
Each round has a multiplier that will be applied to all answers.
Guitar Solos
Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Guitar Solo’s {gs} which they use by adding {gs} to the end of their answer when submitting. Only one guitar solo may be used per question. No {gs} can be used in the Soundcheck round.
In Sheep Questions, {gs} adds 1 to the multiplier. If 5 people have the same answer on a question with a 2x multiplier, they would normally get 10 points. If a player used one of their {gs}, they would get 15 points instead.
For Reverse Sheep questions, the Guitar Solo will perform the same function. In the above scenario, the player would get -15 points instead of the normal -10.
Use these wisely.
