    Good evening folks,

    And Welcome to Alphabet Heeps - Bands and Artists!

    Classic-Rock-Bands-a-z.jpg

    The premise of the game is simple: You need to guess the SECOND most popular answer for each letter of the alphabet, as guessed by all of the players.

    The most popular answer will score 0 points - so if you Sheep, you get nothing, nada, zip, zilch!

    It's quite easy, really.

    As simple as...




    And without further adieu - our contestants, 38 crazy cats willing to give it a go and see can they become the ultimate Heepser:

    38 players:

    Like The Twilight Singers, I'm Ready!

    18 people put The Twilight Singers, right?
    And 20 put Take That?

    Right sign ups are officially closed.

    I am currently warming up both the Heepsulator and GIFulators for some fun times.

    We have a long and arduous road ahead of us folks. Some answers more divisive than Brexit, others where we had multiple Sheep...

    But which were they :)

    We shall soon find out

    So, that's interesting. So you get some kind of score if it is not the most popular answer. This means the winner could be someone who manages to always pick up some points,


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,993 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Our sheep this time is a close one - we have a lot of variation here but one stand out answer (just) as our Heeps. A band I absolutely adore :rolleyes:
