For those of you that forgot, or need refreshing, or those of you that have no idea what this is all about:
Quick Basic Stuff
- Send $2000 to "Trivia II"
- Join room "Trivia" when I am running it (type "/join Trivia")
- I will ask a question, you answer in PM and the first two correct answers get 2 and 1 points respectively.
- After all 10 questions are asked, 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 when ever I have time somewhere between 7 and 10 pm EDT ( - 6 Hrs GMT), 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.
- 10 second time limit. I will be most lenient on this rule. Math questions tend to take longer, so I will allow more time for those.
- If only one person answers correctly before the 10 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, I will refund you or keep your money until next time. If you leave at any time during Trivia, I will keep a certain amount of your money depending on when you leave.
- 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 several minutes. (literally, several 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 :-)
