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!

Our esteemed mod VideoGames has offered free avatar changes for the players who come in the top 5. You will not win a drat thing playing this game, I ain't spending money on you motherfuckers. If someone else wants to be my guest but I ain't giving y'all poo poo. Our esteemed mod R. Guyovich has offered free avatar changes for players who comes in the top 5! Now you have no excuse for not playing!!!!!

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.

Damnit, caught it late but sent you a new reply sheet. Sorry about that.

I'll allow that because it was submitted before the deadline, and I'll even be super generous and allow the couple that came in this morning, but submissions are closed now.

I'm aiming for the reveal tomorrow evening, sometime around 8-9ish. If that's not in the cards it'll be Thursday.

Thanks everyone, see y'all at the reveal!

HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO THE 2018 D&D SHEEP GAME REVEAL!

Here's how this will work: I'll reveal the questions and answers one at a time, posting the point totals after every question. The top five finishers will receive a free av change, courtesy of our far too generous mod R. Guyovich.

There'll be time before each reveal for everyone to laugh at each other and whine about the judging. I'll listen to arguments but my judgment is final, and there are points where judgment calls had to be made in terms of grouping.

As per sheep game tradition, each question will be accompanied by a set of pictures. Said pictures may give away what the top votes were, what some other votes were, or might just be pictures I'm posting to entertain myself! You'll never know!

With that being said, let's begin with the first question!

1. This was, by far, the most hilarious thing to come out of Trump's first year in office.
