Trivia Nights

Tuesday and Friday



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

That's right, now this popular Trivia game is available twice a week! I will be running it Tuesday nights, 8 pm server time, and Lukey will be running it on Friday nights, same time. Also, if I am absent on Tuesday for some reason, Lukey will fill in, and I will run Trivia on Friday instead (and vice-versa).

Quick basic stuff: Send 1k to "Trivia II", join room "Trivia" at 8 pm server time. I ask a question, you have 1 minute to answer, answer in PM only. First correct answer gets 2 points, second correct answer gets 1 point, and if only one person answers correctly within the 60 seconds, he/she gets 3 points. In the end, the person with the most points wins the total pot.

Complete 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 you or not.
- Will be run Tuesday and Friday 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. If you pay and are unable to play, your money will be included in the prize, however I will pay for you the next game.
- 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 on Monday. Tuesday and Friday Trivia will still take place.
- 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. (literally, a couple minutes. Please be patient and wait ;-) 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, or Lukey will do it that day instead and I will do it on Friday, and vice-versa. If neither of us are online to run it, I will just do it the next day.

The questions will be in this order:

1. History
2. Science
3. Geography
4. Vocabulary
5. Math
6. Languages
7. Literature
8. Computers and Technology
9. World Records
10. Riddle

See you there :-)

And just so all of you know, When I host it, you still send your money to Trivia II, after the game, I will PM/CM Rwlf, and tell him who won.
