Tuesday Night Trivia (in Contests)

Tuesday Night Trivia

"A weekly night of challenge and fun!" - Klinik

Some of you may remember back in January when Klinik was doing this. Since he left, I'm taking over! Those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, I just ask 10 questions, you get points, in the end the person with the most points wins the total pot. Complete set of rules below.

Official Rules

- Anybody can play, veterans or newbies! This game has nothing to do with you score, PR, net worth, etc. or even whether I know who you are or not.

- Will be run Tuesday nights, starting around 8:00 pm server time, type '/join Trivia' to get there.

- I will ask 10 questions, answers will be in PM only. Chat is for discussion among players, and for posting questions/answers/winners.

- First correct answer gets 2 points, second correct answer gets 1 point.

- 60 second time limit. If only one person answers correctly before the 60 seconds are up, he/she gets 3 points. If nobody answers, nobody gets any points (obviously ;-)

- After the 5th question, I will announce the scores up to that point.

- After all 10 questions are done with, the person with the most points wins the entire pot (all entry fees and donations).

- Tie-breaker will be a CB related question

- Cost is $1,000 to play, send money to "Trivia II". You must pay before the game starts.

- Anybody is welcome to just watch, if you don't want to actually play. You don't have to pay to watch.

- If I feel you are being disruptive or obnoxious, I will kick you out.

- Donations are more than welcome, even if you don't plan to play. Donations can be anything - money, weapons, armor.

- Some days I will double the prize money. This will usually be separate from normal Trivia (on a day other than Tuesday).

- If I leave at any time during Trivia unannounced, it means my chat has frozen :P I'll just be back in a couple minutes. So, if this happens, I need somebody responsible to give me my ops back when I return. Thanks in advance :-)

- If at any time I do not start it right at 8:00, most likely I will start it a little later. Otherwise I'll just skip it and do it the next day, same time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The question topics will be in this order:

1. History
Name 3 of the 7 Ancient Wonders.
2. Science
What is the chemical symbol for Hydrogen?
3. Geography
What is the highest point in Africa?
4. Vocabulary
Define "fulmination".
5. Math
2(4+3) = ?
6. Languages
How do you say "What is your name?" in Spanish?
7. Music, Movies, TV
Who does Viggo Mortensen play in the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
8. Literature
Who is the author of the Harry Potter books?
9. World Records
What country has the most cell phones?
10. Riddle
You have a hundred arrows. If you shoot one arrow every minute starting at noon, what time will it be after you shoot the 60th arrow?
11. CB Tie Breaker
What is the base damage of a Katana?

Hope to see you all there!

Disclaimer: I may reschedule Trivia at any time. If you are online at the time, I will pm you, if not, I will cm you. I will not postpone Trivia unless it is me that needs it postponed. If you pay and are not able to play, I will refund you. Your money will not be part of the prize.

I apologize for the confusion. I said there would be no Trivia tonight, but my parents went and changed the plans on me! I will be here until quarter to 10, so that means there is time for Trivia. Tonight I'm doubling the prize money.Hellrazor, Kilo, BMW, and YNM are already paid for. From now on, you don't have to tell me if you can make it or not. Just show up, or don't.
There will still be Trivia on Tuesday.
Again, sorry for the confusion :-S

So, r we doing it tonight?

RedWolf July 5 2005 9:18 PM EDT

instead of posting here, cm me. its a lot easier (i can read your comment right away rather than check the post) and it doesnt spam the thread. only post here if you're saying something like you can't play or you will be playing, or something important like that. otherwise just cm me if you want me to remind you of trivia, or if you're asking when im running trivia. muchas gracias :-)

Kilobot571 July 6 2005 12:40 PM EDT
