So, what is a sheep game? Here's you answer (shamelessly stolen from forums user Xenophon): What the gently caress is a sheep The game is not complicated. 1. There will be a list of questions at the bottom of this post. The object of the game is to provide the MOST COMMON response from the people playing the game, kind of like Family Feud. You receive one point for each person who provided the same answer. In other words, if the question was "What is best in life," and 10 players said "To crush your enemies," each of those players would receive 10 points. If 5 players said "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist," they would each receive 5 points. If 1 player said "Hello Kitty," he would receive 1 points (and the public condemnation of his peers). 2. Every question scores points, even if only one. The player with the MOST points, after all the questions are added up, wins the game. 3. There are no right or wrong answers - your job is to provide the MOST COMMON answer. So even if you really, really think that "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist" is best in life, it might still be in your best interest to answer "To crush your enemies." This means that even a factually incorrect answer can score the most points! You have to decide what you think everyone else will say. 4. Some of the questions are vague - intentionally so! It's your job to interpret them as you think the majority of AI will. Send your answers along with your SA Username (seriously) to AIsheepgame@gmail.com (seriously, make sure your username is in there somewhere!) with the tag Sheep Game in the subject line. Format is important, so please send your answers like this: code:
Once you have sent your entry, please post in this thread as confirmation. You have until 11 PM Pacific Time on Satruday, June 11th (0600 UTC on Sunday, June 12th to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Monday, June 13th (2200 UTC on Monday June 13th), so set your calendars/alarm clocks/crude sundials made from old Jeep parts for the big day! I will be doing the reveal two questions per day with each reveal being posted at or about 3 PM Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures. This Sheep Game is a little more high-stakes than before - the winner of this edition of the Sheep Game will receive a free Steam copy of Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game (thanks to the generosity of Camshaft Software). Also, the publishers of Jalopy have been kind enough to provide me with two Steam keys to give away in for this Sheep Game as well...many thanks to them! So, there is a bit of extra incentive this time around! Without further ado, the questions: 1. When I buy a new car (or new to me car), this is the first thing I do with it. 2. On the other hand, this is the last thing I do with my old car before the new owner (or the scrappers) comes to collect it. 3. Based on what I've seen/heard, this country has by far the worst drivers in the world. 4. In previous Sheep Games, we have asked and discussed at great length which decade had the best cars. This decade, however, had the worst cars by far. 5. This person is, in my opinion, the greatest racing driver of all time. 6. Race cars over the years have had some iconic paint schemes. This is the best one of all. 7. If the iconic paint doesn't interest you, the cheating that goes on in motorsports probably will. This is without a doubt the most devious cheating scheme I've ever heard of. 8. What is your greatest automotive-related fear? 9. If you ask me, I think this car on sale today offers the best performance-for-price ratio of all. 10. Looking back on the history of this car model, it was consistently awful across each generation it was made. 11. Conversely, this car model was consistently awesome across each generation it was made. 12. This particular car's pedigree was the most bipolar of them all; it reached the highest highs and the lowest lows looking back on its history. 13. This figure from automotive history did by far the most harm to the reputation of the automobile than any other. 14. In the first ever Sheep Game, I asked what the second-best engine of all time was, now it's time for the big one. This is the best engine of all time. 15. On the other hand, this is the worst engine of all time. 16. Speaking of engines, this is the worst example of bad engineering I've seen or heard of in any engine. 17. Top Gear is back soon, but it has a lot of detractors with the new hosts. How many seasons will this new version of the show last? 18. Of all the cars I've seen in AI, this is by far my favourite. Where it is appropriate, I will group answers together in an entirely cruel and arbitrary way. Until the submission deadline, discussing your answers in this thread is not allowed, as it will affect how other people will vote! Once again, send your answers to AIsheepgame@gmail.com before 11 PM Pacific Time on Satruday, June 11th (0600 UTC on Sunday, June 12th). See you all for the reveal!

I don't think noted BBC program Top Gear will last any number of seasons. It might, however, last some number of series.

Couldn't think of any good or funny answers for most of these questions, so I answered most of them honestly... So I fully expect to be well into the lower portion of the middle of the pack this time!

The reason why I ask for the answers to be submitted without numbers (or written into the questions, holy poo poo you guys) is because with the program I use to organise this, I can just do a three-second copy/paste to create your entry. Anything else adds time and manual correction to the process. If you have already submitted your answers, you do not need to resubmit them, as I have already made the changes.
