2024 Automation Holiday Sheep Game

2024 Holiday Sheep Game

So with the hollandaise season upon us now, and that means it’s time to fight the hordes out shopping , get into a fight with your significant other about which placemats to use, and listen to your drunk uncle Ted rant about foreigners at the dinner table. Fortunately it also means that it’s time for yet another installment of the Sheep Game, where you can argue with your friends about who is the most correct about everything!

So, what is a sheep game? Here’s your answer:

What the fuck is a sheep

The game is not complicated.

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 their peers).

Every question scores points, even if only one. The player with the MOST points, after all the questions are added up, wins the game.

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.

Some of the questions are vague - intentionally so! It’s your job to interpret them as you think the majority of the Automation community will.

How do I play?

To play the Sheep Game, go to The Sheep Game Google Form and submit your answers there!

You have until 2024-12-21T07:00:00Z to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread (as well as on the Discord server) starting at or about 2024-12-23T23:00:00Z, 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 3 PM Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures.

Without further ado, the questions:

  1. In my opinion, this is the most important characteristic of an everyday car.
  2. This badge/logo is, without a doubt, the coolest in the automotive world.
  3. In terms of automotive styling and design, this car is the most influential car in history.
  4. On the other hand, I wish this very influential car design never happened!
  5. When you look at all the engines this manufacturer has designed and built, you have to agree that they’ve done the best engines in the industry!
  6. On the other hand, this manufacturer really has never made good engines!
  7. This car has the most beautiful headlights ever made.
  8. Similarly, this car has the most beautiful tail lights ever made.
  9. The Al-Rilma Update brings superchargers to Automation for the first time ever! This is the best supercharged car engine of all time.
  10. On the other hand, this is by far the worst supercharged car engine of all time.
  11. When people ask me for advice on what car to buy, this car is never far from my mind as a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
  12. On the other hand, this car that seemingly everyone recommends to everyone else, couldn’t be a worse choice!
  13. Looking back on automotive history, this is the coolest concept car of all time.
  14. On the other hand, this is the worst concept car of all time, in my opinion.
  15. This optional piece of equipment or feature in a car seems really stupid, but I love it!
  16. People love this optional piece of equipment or feature in cars, but I really don’t see the appeal.
  17. Apart from Automation’s iconic Model 1 Trim 1, this is the greatest video game car of all time.
  18. On a similar note, this is the greatest car from a movie of all time.
  19. When I look at all gameplay aspects and features in Automation, this is the one thing I like the most!
  20. Conversely, this is the gameplay aspect or feature in Automation that I really don’t like.

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, to submit your answers go to The Sheep Game Google Form and submit your answers before 2024-12-21T07:00:00Z. See you all for the reveal!
