Trivia
Yes, I've made yet another Trivia post, and you all know that must mean something significant has changed. Well, several significant somethings have changed. Lukey says he is not going to do Trivia on Fridays anymore. /me is silent for a minute. I will, however, try to do it on Friday, but I can't make any promises.
And for those of you too lazy to read this whole post,
here's the Quick Basic Stuff
- Pay $2000 to Trivia II
- The game starts around 8 pm EDT
- I ask 10 questions, you answer in PM
- First and second correct answers get 2 and 1 points, respectively
- You have 20 seconds to answer, if only 1 person answers correctly in the 20 seconds, he/she gets 3 points
- The person with the most points in the end wins the entire pot (all entry fees and donations)
Now here's the 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/or 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.
- 20 second time limit. If only one person answers correctly before the 20 seconds are up, he/she gets 3 points. If nobody answers, nobody gets any points (obviously ;-)
- After all 10 questions are done with, the person with the most points wins the entire pot (all entry fees and donations). You must play the whole game to win. E.g. if you leave but still have the most points, the person in second place would win the pot.
- Tie-breaker will be a CB related question.
- Cost is $2000 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 a certain amount for you next game based on how many questions you were present for. E.g. if you pay and leave on question 4, I will refund you $1200. (10 [questions] - 4 [questions present at] x 2 = 1200)
- Anybody is welcome to just come and 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, though money is preferred.
- 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 I am not online at 8:00 to start it, I will most likely start it later, or the next day.
This is the order of the questions, each with an example:
1. History- What year did World War I start?
- What does an astronomer study?
- Where is the Gobi Desert located?
- What does "scrupulous" mean?
- 5x + 2 ( 3 - 9 + 1 ) = - 5, x = ?
- What creature is said to be a three-headed dog from Hell?
- When is Harry Potter's birthday?
- When was the digital camera invented?
- What is the world's longest suspension bridge?
- What substance weighs more in its liquid form than its solid form?
See you there C|:-)
