 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: pre:Miatas Dead hooker smell Rust Katanas You have until 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, September 19th (0600 UTC on Sunday, September 20th) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread at 3pm Pacific Time on Monday, September 21st (2200 UTC on Monday, September 21st), 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 3pm Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures. Without further ado, the questions: 1. More than any other car part, I look at one of these and think, "man, this has an almost artistic look to it." 2. This car that everybody shits on gets a bad rap, if you ask me. It's actually really good! 3. On the other hand, this car that people hold in such high esteem is a total dumpster fire. 4. In the second AI Sheep Game, we asked which decade you would most want to go back to for the cars; the 1960s was first, but the 1980s was a close second. This car from the 1980s is the one I would most want to own. 5. On the topic of cars from the 1980s, there are a number of cars from that era (Buick Grand National, Porsche 911, E30 M3 to name a few) that are rapidly appreciating in value on the collector market. I think this non-supercar from the 1980s could follow those three in that trend. 6. When we're all fat and smug and doddering around the Last-Ever Barrett-Jackson Car Auction of 2056, this non-supercar that's on sale today will fetch the highest bid of all. 7. This year, all of the major motor racing series have shown some serious vulnerability in terms of finances, TV ratings, fan interest and whatnot. I fear that __________ won't be around much longer. 8. So, you want to go faster, huh? This is the most cost-effective thing you can do/change/add/remove to get there in my opinion. 9. Unlike my answer to the previous question, this common part/practice/whatever is a total waste of money if you want to go faster. 10. On the subject of going fast, this car is by far the best sleeper-car from the factory. 11. Surprisingly, some of us also like to take a break from fixing our shitboxes to watch television. This TV show is absolutely on point when it comes to the cars in it. 12. Lots of rumours in the news about tech companies maybe, possibly breaking into the car manufacturing business recently. I would trust this company to get it the most right of all of them. 13. In contrast, these guys would gently caress it up so badly it isn't even funny. Or maybe it would be funny, I don't know...either way, it would be a total fiasco. 14. In what year, if any, do you think autonomous cars will make up the majority of total sales for the first time? 15. If AI were to ever start a car company that somehow wasn't totally dysfunctional, I think this feature/option/whatever would be the one we would all agree our car would need. 16. August/September is back-to-school month (depending on where you live in the Northern Hemisphere); this car is ideal for a student that needs/wants to drive. 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 11pm Pacific Time on Saturday, September 19th (0600 UTC on Sunday, September 20th). See you all for the reveal!

He's just trying to limit it to unmodified cars because otherwise it turns into a question of 'what's a crappy car?', since you could add a hot drivetrain and/or a custom suspension to literally any slow vehicle and make it a sleeper.

I filled it with a currently available car, I probably would have picked another one if I had considered all cars ever.

The web browser shuddered as I hit control-enter to send my malformed missive into the degenerate reaches of the cross-reaching global network of underthings. Some part of my mind, peeking its head out tentatively from the burned-out rubble messily framing my mental illness, began to yelp in pain. It - I? - was all too aware of what I had set in motion. This was a lot to take in, I growled to myself as I reached for the keys to my 20B-powered model T pickup. I staggered to the garage, a man possessed. This wasn't normal. I had to clear my mind.

A flurry of responses so far, I'm up to 12 already!Seat Safety Switch posted:The web browser shuddered as I hit control-enter to send my malformed missive into the degenerate reaches of the cross-reaching global network of underthings. Some part of my mind, peeking its head out tentatively from the burned-out rubble messily framing my mental illness, began to yelp in pain. It - I? - was all too aware of what I had set in motion. "Your pain has only just begun, friend!" I muttered to the computer monitor as I reached for a set of car keys. I hesitated for a moment...no, the daily driver doesn't have the...presence...I need. I moved to the other set of keys; the set covered in dust - the set that I feel the adrenaline rise every time I reach for them. Moments later, the bored out, quadruple-supercharged bronzit E32 750iL bursts from the garage, rear tires blazing like a Viking funeral, bellowing out of the zoomies like a mortally wounded beast. As I flatshift my way through the custom sequential gearbox, a warning light appears; the rear air suspension isn't holding pressure again. I hope my "friend" won't mind the choppy ride when he's stuffed in the trunk, I muse to myself.

Hell yeah, another sheep game! As always I started out trying for sheep answers then realised I don't have a loving clue about half the questions and can't be bothered researching so I just resorted to stupid poo poo.
