    Hi gang, thought I'd try another little spin on the traditional sheep game

    TEAM SHEEP!
    Team-Sheep.jpg

    The questions are pretty standard, you answer as if it's normal sheep (ie try to give the most popular answer)

    ...but I'll score it differently!

    I plan to rand you into teams of 4.
    Each player will score:
    • 1pt if they match another players answer
    • -1pt if they don't
    • 0 if you choose to pass

    So each team can score between 4 and -4 on each question. Highest score wins!

    Simple, right?

    I'll leave it open a week-ish, then wait until we have a nice multiple of 4
    (I've noted my answers in case I need to balance up numbers but I'm hoping not to play)

    Google/research is allowed, but I'm hoping the questions are clear enough that you won't need to

    And no, I'm not hoping for a few players to give comical answers and deduct points from their team, definitely not, how dare you think that ;)

    No, enter on your own :)
    I'll give you a team for the reveal, it's just a different (and hopefully fun) way of doing the reveal

    This is the only Last Dance I care to watch! :cool:

    For some reason that video isn't on Youtube but it's a class song from a singer who never made it as big as she should have.

    Ah, no rush at all :)

    Probably Friday-ish, then I'll announce that we need 1/2/3 more to fill teams, once I have that I'll close up

    I'd say probably looking at a reveal next Monday or Tuesday evening
