Trivia: A Chat Event - July 28, 2005 10:00PM EDT
 

So tonite, in the chatroom, it ended up being good fun as pointless trivia questions were bandied about... Makes for a fun evening with you fellow TFP'ers.

Now, I had a thought (YEah, I know, it happens once in a while)

What about a TFP Trivia Night... The Master/Mistress of the Trivia Questions would compile a list of questions, primarily sticking to pop-culture from the 70s, 80s, 90s and current, and maybe a few other random topics. The players would take turns answering the questions. Winner would be the one with the highest number of points.

What do you win? Well the adulation of others of course.

I figure we could plan the event for a Thursday evening, probably 10ish (EDT) and have the game run for an hour... or til anarchy ensues and we get bored with it... (Times and days are open to suggestion.)

Compiling the questions is easy, I've done this elsewhere and have enough questions for the first nights game.

Whatta ya think? Interested? wanna play?

Sounds fun! I'm up for it!

I'm for it, but be prepared to lose mal... :rolleyes:

You know I'm down with it, Mal. The idea, that is. Whether I'm there or not is totally up to chance.

I would like to declare that Maleficent is one kick ass trivia goddess. She is definitely a competitor.

Oh hell yeah! I love trivia. Even though it conflicts with my daily dose of Jeopardy! I'll still be there.

I'll most likely be in chat regardles of the time, so I'm game :)

Last night was fun, I'd definitely be up for it!!

Sounds like a great idea but I probably can't make Thursdays... have fun though.

I am totally open to other days...

This would be fun.. I'm up for this. :) Trivia is a great way to learn stuff.

Spectators welcome? I type too slow to be much competition.

Always (damn word isn't long enough)

Im in......but I aint too smart

I haven't been publically humiliated by one of Mal's trivia games in ages. I'm in.

I'm in persuit of some trivia. ;)
Count me in.

sounds like a good time!!! I'd join if I could, but 10 is way to late for me....Im long asleep by then :lol:

Join in Stan. If Mal runs the game, she asks a question to one person.

Are we still on for the evening, or is Mal too busy with hotseat questions?

It's not too difficult to fire up an irc trivia bot, that would definitely help facilitate the evenings activities.

I'd play.

/me waves

Let's do it for Thursday, June 2 - at 10:00PM EDT (that will hopefully give some of the other time zones some window to play in...)

I've got the questions, so I'll be the trivia bot (I've got way more personality than any old bot does- at least on a good day)

Amen to that sister...

It has written on a Post-It note, therefore you can count on me to be there.

Supposed to be in Sedona at that time, but if I'm here, i'm In!

OK, I gotta write it down too...

*scurries off to calendar*

Ok, I've made a date!

Due to a major hard drive failure on my laptop -- trivia will be postponed until I stop wanting to hurl myself out the 18th floor window.. or until June 9 - same bat time same bat channel

No hurling allowed because we have a date for next Thursday.

Sorry about your laptop, Ms. M.:(

Aw man.
You've got me on edge to do some trivia chatting.

no reason why you still cant hang out and chat sadistic....

Awwwww...I even marked my calendar and my hubby said....trivia??? :lol: It was the only way I wouldn't forget.

Hope your computer is fixed soon...and I'll be there next week!!

yeah, i don't chat much... but sure, why not?

Whew! Thank goodness for Mal's computer mess. *ducks* :p
I forgot all about the contest. I even put up a post-it note.

Maybe I need a reminder for my reminder.


Get better soon, Mal's computer. ;)

Yes, I forgot as well, despite my post-it note. Thing was, I wasn't home to see it...

Next time I'll put it onto my cell phone!

We still on for tonight!??!? Trying to get my plans together for the night ... not that I won't be there anyways :)

You betcha!
(SInce I lost my original hard drive, the original questions were on said hard drive, I was too lazy to retype all those up -- so tonite's questions won't be as trivia taxing but should be fun nonetheless)

I will try to be there (pending my cleaning duties)

I'll be there, for awhile at least!!! Looking forward to it.

I'll try to make it.

Okay, I'm gonna be distracted by "Friends", but I'll be there.

damn, i hope i'm alive next year...

Well we survived our first trivia night in the chatroom, hopefully wiht more to come.. I had fun... and it sure was chatty...

Thanks to Elphaba, Boredom, Medusa, Denim, RickB, Charlatan, Ryborg, NGDawg, Raptor, SadistikDreams, Sportswidow, Sty, Phant, Secret Method and Oberonfor showing up, heckling and participating

Tonite's winner was a tie with a whopping 14 points each --

Kudos to Charlatan and Medusa for kicking trivia butt!
