Fatkraken posted:Doi, sorry, I've been following the thread but I didn't put two and two together. I guess the boss is the boss even though copyright does not work that way. Copyright, whether Oz claims it or not is irrelevant. He ABSOLUTELY can and will disqualify a team for any drat reason he sees fit which is a much more serious issue. When the Trivia Times photos come out, DO NOT POST THEM ANYWHERE PUBLICLY (EVEN ONLINE) OR YOUR TEAM WILL BE DQ'D (this HAS happened in the past). Don't even post old ones, for the same reason. Oz's game, Oz's rules, no posting questions or photos. All hail Oz!

Unfortunately, I thought it would be best if I remove the questions. Hopefully, people had enough time to gauge what they would be like. If you want more info, hop into IRC and ask and they could more than likely, be provided there or at least direct you to a source where you could obtain them.

Like I said in my post, we are more than happy to show people the spreadsheets in a private setting.

This seems amazing. I've never even heard of this competition before 20 minutes ago and now I'm looking forward to it!

For those of you who haven't seen Triviatown or have access to archives, this is Network, one of the main teams in the contest:   Most of those books are almanacs, by the way.

Yaaay trivia is back!OperaMouse posted:Are people still editing Wikipedia pages? I'm down. I got a couple warnings from Wikipedia nerd officers or whatever last time for editing out the answers but I just moved so I have a new IP and can probably edit again.  And someone from another team always edits the answer to "Supreme Bicycle Jesus" unless that's one of our guys so it's not just me. Hey what was the name of that cool stoner team that we always cheered on? Can't remember. And screw Team Thicko.

Looks interesting, I am not European but am a total night owl, so this might be fun to try. Are novels included in pop culture? I'm pretty well-versed in Stephen King and Michael Crichton.

At the end of tax season, so it must be Trivia time! Can't wait for another weekend spent on IRC, streaming the radio feed, and being irrationally happy that we found some arcane answer. And remember, if you don't love Portesi Cheese Fries, you might be a communist. tecnocrat fucked around with this message at Feb 14, 2013 around 15:21 |

 Encyclopurity looked at the clock as claxons awoke him from his slumber. 3:47 am. He looked to see which of his angels was being defiled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediev...nch_literature, his 6th, was being changed again. He had heard rumor about this, the quiz weekend. Hush whispers circulated through the wiki moderator crowd. Their pure information god was being sacrileged as a contest for some radio station in Wyoming or Wisconsin or some such. His fingers clacked away at the keyboard, skilled, swift motions, practiced many a sleepless night, restored his angel to her rightful purity. "I'm doing the Lords work" Encyclopurity thought as he taped the request for protection, then rolled back into his bed, the world safe another night for information.

falz posted:Always check the history first. That alone can create a weekend of entertainment. Yeah, if you see like 3 edits from today you know something's up. I think it's all in good fun as long as you change it back afterwards. rawillkill is right though few answers from from Wikipedia, a lot more come from Google Books or a random cereal box in somebody's cupboard.

I've been wondering when this thread would come up! Last year, in the whole contest, I managed to get one answer no other goon got - but of course, we went with a different answer! Count me in again. Feld, you might want to add a mibbit link in the first post - it's a no-downlad, no-fuss browser-based irc that I used last year and will be using again this year. As for a team name, my vote goes for: Trivial Fursuit: Tokyo Yiff'd with the 'd on the end But, I mean, I don't have to be there in person. Still, whatever happens we should hang onto "Trivial Fursuit", I think. simplefish fucked around with this message at Feb 15, 2013 around 00:27 |

Fun fact about Trivia: it will help you win friends and improve your romances. No, really. Last year MY THEN-NEW GIRLFRIEND came over when I had told her I was doing "this trivia contest". She wasn't really into it at first. But then I was sitting there, listening to one of the mystery audio clips on repeat because I was sure I recognized it, and  OMIGOD I KNOW WHAT IT IS! *starts typing furiously*

When can we expect the pictures? I remember that's where I was strongest last year. and then that one guy posted our answer on here, and reduced all the points of the obscure one

It's okay, I was the only one, and only had a webpage (with a different name spelling to that given in the irc) as a source. There were at least three other people with the different answer. At the time it made sense to go with that.

Make sure you are registering on IRC and also signing in with the nickserv when you join. If you need any help with that, ask and someone will walk you through it.
