What the hell, let's go out guns blazing. This is how the game works: I will post a list of 18 statements from four categories: Trump, the 2018 elections, the 2020 elections, and the "Prestige" round. Your job is to provide an answer that you think is the best for each statement. BUT! The object of the game is not necessarily to guess the most correct answer. Rather, the object of this game is to give the most common answer that you think will be given by the rest of the players. For each answer you give, you get a number of points equal to the number of people who also gave that answer. If you say "red" and 10 other people say red, you get 11 points. If you say "blue" and no one else said blue, you get 1 point. The poster with the most points at the end of 16 rounds wins! Note that it is in your best interest to not discuss the game in other threads or IRC, lest you tip your hand on what your answers will be! Want to participate? Great! Please follow this two step process: 1) Submit your entries via email to sasmediasheep at gmail dot com. Don't bother PMing me I ain't got them. The subject line should include your SA username and "Sheep Game Entry" (e.g. "C. Everett Koop sheep game entry"). Your answers should be in the body of the message. Please submit your answers with one answer on each line, in order, and with no numbers and no questions. This will save me a bunch of editing time. If you're worried about me stealing your identity or something, first that requires an effort I don't feel like putting in, second feel free to use something like guerrilla mail or any other instant e-mail service. 2) Re-read Step 1 and make sure you didn't gently caress it up, or you'll probably get disqualified! The deadline for entries is approximately one week so midnight Wednesday January 10th (EDIT ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH SUNDAY THE 14th) ; I will post a 24 hour notice before I stop taking submissions. Once submissions are closed I will determine a reveal date but probably the Thursday after unless I get distracted by a shiny object or something. This will be done "liveblog" style, i.e. I'll reveal each round of answers one at a time over the course of a few hours. Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTION TEXT ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Got it? Okay. Here are the statements. Some of these are good. Some of these are better than good. Trump 1. This was, by far, the most hilarious thing to come out of Trump's first year in office. 2. This is the lowest Trump's approval rating will hit in 2018. (Whole numbers only) 3. Out of all the chucklefucks to serve in this administration so far, this one has easily been the dumbest. 4. Regardless of how it ends, this is when Mueller's investigation will formally end. (month and year please, month only answers will be assumed to be this year. If Trump actually fires Mueller in the next week, then holy poo poo and we'll come up with something.) 5. This is the one good thing that Trump actually did for the country in his first year in office. 2018 Elections 6. Paul Ryan's "retiring." This is who the new Speaker of the House will be after the 2018 elections. 7. This will be the Democrats advantage in the House after the 2018 elections. (plus seats if they have the majority, minus seats if they're in the minority) 8. This will be the Republican advantage in the Senate after the 2018 elections. (same deal as before) 9. How many journalists will be killed in the lead-up to the 2018 elections? 2020 Elections 10. This will be the first person to formally announce their candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President. 11. This person will be the Jeb! of the 2020 elections. 12. The Democrats will nominate _________ for president in 2020. 13. The Republicans will nominate _________ for president in 2020. 14. The winner of the 2020 presidential election will be ______________. The "Prestige" Round 15. The Star-Spangled Banner is racist. What should America's new national anthem be? 16. One day The Rock will be president. Who will be his running mate? 17. This is the next country that will have a nuclear weapon detonated within it's borders. 18. What is Barack Obama doing at this very moment? Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTION TEXT ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Undying gratitude goes to TheOneAndOnlyT, whose OP I plagiarized a hell of a lot, and everyone else who's ran a sheep game and modified this sucker every which way. Good luck! You'll need it.

I'll ponder on some answers if I get time this weekend. In the meantime, maybe a mod can sticky the thread. They've done so in the past for these things.

Still plenty of time to submit your sheer genius ability to predict the goon hivemind! You have until Wednesday is finished in god's One True Timezone (EST)! Riatala, check your answers, your list was one short and I'm not sure what was missing. I e-mailed you back so feel free to reply, tia.

This is still open and there's still time to get your entry in, but I'm now busy the new few nights so probably won't be able to do the reveal until early next week. Accordingly I'll go ahead and extend the window for submissions through Sunday. Enter and win big!!!!!
