I'm gonna be a little busy this coming week, but I may put one up in a few days if the mood strikes me (i.e. I think of some good questions).

Why not hear me comment on all questions?

1. I really don't understand how so many consider Fight Club to be an action movie. I answered the Rock, but Gladiator was a better answer.

2. I never played MTG ldo, but it was the first thing I thought of. I didn't go with it though, as I thought this was a one word only thing, and that others would agree.

3. Dragon was the first, second and third one I thought of. But hey, it's not an animal (I'm not in the sheep mindset).

4. How can someone only have heard of 4-5 of these artists. Anyway, I'm surprised I was the only one who answerred A-Ha, Vanilla Ice was my first pick [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Oh, and some of these are clearly not one hit wonders, such as Dexys and Hanson (sadly).

5. Don't really see how SA got more answers then Brazil here.

6. lol @ elbow

7. Ice cream ldo

8. England is not only the sheep answer, it's the right answer.

9. Totally oblivious here

10. 1000 was such a good answer

11. It's always the "even" numbers. How stupid am I? 5 was the clear answere here.

12. I know there was no Google 10 years ago, but I still figured a lot of people would answer this.

In a super controversial mod decision, I combined the answers "the Gathering" and "Cards," since magic cards practically always refer to MTG.

wow

only to MTG players...to the other 99% of the world, magic cards are different from MTG

wow

This was:
My second time playing sheep
My second time finishing next-to-last
My second time beating Bulletproof Monk

And actually if fmxda hadn't combined the MTG question I woulda come in last. So thanks fmxda!

And thanks for running this. I can't play WW (my nights are too busy) but POG is still the first forum I check every day. It's nice to be able to participate a little.

The answer to this and several of your other comments is that the goal of the Sheep game is not to pick the correct answer. It is to pick the answer that you think most other people will also pick. For example, I knew that I could spend 5 minutes searching and easily find 100 stocks that have appreciated more than MSFT in the past 10 years, but that doesn't matter for the purposes of this game. I figured for sure that MSFT and GOOG would be most of the responses, and that at least some people would remember GOOG not going public until 2002 or 2003, so I went with MSFT as my answer.

I know moggie, I know.
But it's beyond me how anyone can think Fight Club is the sheep answer, that's all.

9. Best POGger to have by your side in a bar fight

After compensating for mod-sucking-up, the top three were Zurvan, MDD and kyro, which is just about what I would have guessed. The guy who answered VR must have stopped reading the question at "by your side."

fmxda 6
Zurvan 2
MDoranD 2
kyro 2
VR 1
traz 1
Scott Howard 1
jgunnip 1
Herbie 1
durron597 1
Bulletproof Monk 1
Amplify 1

Maybe there's a game I could regularly run during work hours. Any ideas? Maybe a weekly sheep game?
