Thought I blew it in the last couple, rushed them picks.

How many Heeps did I hit in the end.

15 out of a possible 26. Serious going tbf

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Congrats on the win Ted! Cheers for a great comp Necro!

As I was @rseing about and playing for last, I picked out my favourite track for each of the artists I picked to share with anyone who's looking to discover some new songs. Fair warning on the Alestorm track, there's a fierce amount of bad language, so don't go listening to that one in front of your kids or your mammies...

Missed the reveal, sorry Necrers, caught up there. Was very intense even though I was reading behind :pac: have to be happy with a top half here considering I was down near the bottom with about 10 to go!

Cheers Necro. And congrats Ted

I'd like to dedicate my second place to my almost-foolproof system of choosing the third most popular answers from the previous music Sheep.

Congrats to Ted and thanks for a great game Necro.

I went for the second placed for most of them, few of the sheeps too.

Awww was hoping toto would steal the win from Ted at the last minute. Just for the drama of it! Sorry Ted! Congrats!

Thanks Necro, good craic as always! It's better when there's loads of players like today.

I was going for that effect for the last 4 picks too. :pac:

Ah well done Ted! You ran away with it!
Thanks Necro too
Now... must work on my first ever entry for these MS Paint challenges! :P

I knew the music artist one would get you interested.. enjoy painting it, it's great fun, you can send me as many as you want too

sKeith

Fair play EN, you overtook me in the end there.

khalessi, told you not to be following me....

Well done Ted on the WIN, once you pushed me and scorpion sting aside you were never really challenged again.

Levar seemed a bit confused at the scoring mech of heeps, they seemed to be playing peehs, although, peehs is usually more chalenging and has wrong answers to contend with, so whatever game they were playing, they deserved the spoon for getting it all wrong.

Thanks Necro for running game, it was fun and can't wait for the next.

The Crazy Cat Lady

well done ted

thanks for a great game necro:D

I’ve only briefly read it... still not sure how it works
If I send you one and someone else sends you three and someone else sends you five?
Do you just post them all, anonymously? and they’re voted on?
Sorry, blame Necro... I got wine for the reveal tonight!

It will be anonymous until the painting is knocked out.. only then will the painter be revealed, doesnt matter how many you send, you will probably still finish better than baggly.

They will all go into a tournament bracket, there is currently a Movie reveal going on here if you want to see the way it's done.. voting closes on the quarter finals at 10 so get a vote in

Is ‘thanks’ a vote?

Tauriel

Congrats Ted! I suppose this is prep for winning the title;)

Great game Necro, thanks for running it

It is indeed

You know it Shell


Champagne all round to celebrate.

Oh boy..... Sometimes I have to wonder about myself as in why I thought Ellie Goulding would be a good answer, I could have picked from Eminem, or the Eagles, or Elton John, or even Ed Sheeran but no Ellie Goulding was definitely going to be the second most popular artist. Ditto for Justin Timberlake, no shortage of more popular J people/bands but that's the one that sprung to mind. The least said about Willie Nelson the better


Well played everybody, congrats Ted. Thanks for running this one Necro.

I'd call for the Television Match Official to review if Lincoln Park should have been grouped with Linkin Park as intended and "Vamps" and "Vamps, The" should have been grouped but it doesn't look like it'd change any positions so I'm happy with the usual Mid-Table mediocrity

45.

I'm losing me touch.

Grid.

Well done Tedders!!:cool:

Caught work my last night, great game necro, must make more time & effort next time!
Great game by Ted

Woohoo I came 3rd! I rushed an entry in about 5.30 last night and not taking time to think about it has paid off.

Mollyb60

Shocked at my mid-table position. I was expecting to peehs every answer there. Just had a complete blank on most of the letters. Couldn't even think of Pink? WTF Molly. I need to have a serious talk with myself.

Great game as usual Necro. Missed the reveal again but it was still fun reading back.

I'll take a look at the Vamps one when I get home, sorry about that!

I completely missed the reveal - Well done Ted - I don't know how anyone wins these things, I'm always somewhere near the back of the pack - Thanks Necro!
