Sheep, a forum game

Falaeron

Rules:

-There are a set of questions that you are trying to answer.

-You get a point for every person who answers the same thing as you for each question, sort of like Family Feud.

-There are no right or wrong answers, but you are trying to pick the most common answer so in some cases it might be a better option to say something that you know to be factually incorrect.

-Whoever has the highest number of points at the end wins.

-Answers in a PM to me please.

-I ask that nobody discusses any of the questions specifically here (or anywhere) so that people are not influenced by what you may have to say. If a question sounds vague it was probably intentionally so. It is up to you to interpret it and more importantly, try to guess how most other people might interpret it.

Questions (All Lusternian themed)

1. Name a village.

2. Name an organisation.

3. Name an Elder God.

4. Name a denizen.

5. What is the most overpowered skill?

6. Name a Vernal God.

7. Name a True Ascendant

8. Name a guild.

9. Name a hunting area.

10. Name a riftable.

I'll give people a bit over 24 hours to submit their answers. 

Falaeron

I should note that if anyone is unsure about any of these there is nothing wrong with looking up potential answers. The point isn't necessarily to test your knowledge, but whether or not you can guess what everyone else is thinking.

Falaeron

I've got 15 entries so far and there's still a few more hours to get yours in if you haven't already. The more the merrier.

Falaeron

Picking Fillin over Synkarin lost Ssaliss a bunch of points and the lead as Aeldra sneaks in front, but it's still very close!

For shame Ssaliss, for shame

If you were going to pick a name that nobody else used, you should have at least gone with Xynthin!  For shame, indeed.

Sharing the answer of Astral with three other people puts Twytch just ahead of Aeldra and Ssaliss. Can he hold onto the lead with one question to go?

What a reveal! 5th place, not as bad as I expected.

Falaeron

If anyone else wants to run a game of this, or Black Sheep, where people are trying to get the lowest number of points possible, I can hook you up with the spreadsheet I made that makes this easier to run.

I was not aware of the Black Sheep variant, but I was actually tempted to try participating just by giving the most unlikely answers possible to each.  Kind of feeling like I should have, just for fun.

Lavinya

I don't have time to coordinate it but I love these sort of things! Please do a black sheep one!

Svana

Second place...

Obviously I must find and consume Twytch to absorb their power.

Falaeron

I'll wait until tomorrow to give someone else a chance to put their hand up for running one. If nobody does it I'll run a black sheep one.

Sylandra

I'm up for running one. I'm also interested in playing Black Sheep, though, so either way.

Twytch

Aaaaaaaaaaaa! I was bottom #2 during the start. Much fun, 10/10 would play again.

Tremula

Oh, I've a gane of black sheep that I can 

Aeldra

While mafia's always interested me as a forum game, I can't make that time commitment. this however, is quick and easy and a lot of fun to watch so... if any further of those are run, count me in. Also was hilarious. I didn't think I'd pull ahead in between. Was fun, would play again.

Daraius

Bwah, I almost picked Trader Bob! This is neat because you have no idea who's playing until the end.

CyndarinAscends

That was entertaining to read. Pyromancy got a vote for most OP and I consider that a personal accomplishment.

Synkarin

I think it's hilarious that Choke's been gone for what, 3+ years now? And it still got the most votes for being OP

Heh, possible, though as the strategy involved trying to guess what other people might be saying, not a bad bet, given how present it'st still in people's minds.

I picked it as a kind of meta joke, but it was also the biggest argument about a particular skill I could remember.

Vivet

I'm kind of sad no one else picked newbie punch. I mean, it's the obvious choice.

Tarkenton

I'm disappointed it wasn't bonds.
