Welcome to the GoA Sheep Game III. This game was started by vividox(?) on the AO quite a few years ago. Remnants and variants of it exist around the world wide web.
The game is simple. I will ask 20 questions. You will send to me, in a properly-formatted PM or email, your answers/replies to these questions/requests-for-info. Your goal is to match the replies of your fellow competitors. You will earn points for the number of answers that match yours, with the exception of the last question which will be based on the results of your RPS throw.
Ties will be broken by order of entry (i.e., earlier is better).
Post two of this thread will have the questions and more information on how to submit them.
Answers are due by Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 7:00 PM ET.
Expect the reveal show to be posted that evening. That will give you all of Friday to complain about the scoring & moderator.
Come on in and join the fun!
P.S. I’m not only the shepherd of this game, I’m also a participant sheep. My answers have already been submitted (though, I will take the second-to-last entry for purposes of the tie-breaker) and are being kept securely in an off shore tax haven bank account. If the host tries to pull any funny business or hanky-panky, he’ll be shown the door faster than you can say “42 snorkeling Applebees waitresses”. Complaints may be sent to the QWERTY (Quality Workforce Employment and Retraining for Today’s Youth). Further, not only have most of the questions been provided by chatgpt, but it is also a participant (and will take the last entry for the tie-breaker).
Copy/paste these questions/statements to a PM (preferred) to me or email (might get lost). Type your reply after the final semicolon.
(Use of the internet or any other external resource is NOT ALLOWED for any questions. Think about it. With your mind!)

If your name isn’t on this list, that means you haven’t entered or, if you actually did enter, been acknowledged as entering, so you might need to rattle some chains.
I’m a little nervous about having to compete against chatGPT. Picking the most common response is probably what it’s the best at. Prediction: chatGPT finishes in the top 1/2.
Consider that its “source” for most common is very likely not aligned with those who are actually responding to the game.
I did think it would be a fun variation where we submit what we think ChatGPT will respond with and get 10 points for a correct match and 5 points for a sheep answer (so, 15 points possible per question).
