I guess this means I'll have to start posting my daily trivia here as well. ;)

[Xavier Lang]

Yes, come play challenge us masters of trivia who get anywhere from 2 to a amazing 6 out of 10 correct on a regular basis.

[Dawnstar]

I finally decided to jump back into the game. Must get the brain working again. :)

Anyone know where wilpax went to?

[Black Angel]

Nearly another month over - now that we have some new blood, come join us and test your brains! :)

WTF?

KingVyper came out to play with us and got smacked by the game!

Player Award Correct Seconds Score
1. alsih2o + 3 pts 6 91 509
2. Dunar Lightfoot + 3 pts 4 101 299
3. kingvyper + 2 pts 5 296 204

Religon has never been my strong suit. I decided to not cheat and use Wiki or Google.

Well, my point was that you got more right than others but got ranked lower!

[Xavier Lang]

Well, my point was that you got more right than others but got ranked lower!

Its because of time. If you take a lot longer than someone you can be ranker lower than them due to time. Its not just number correct, its number correct and how long it takes. Time isn't just a tie breaker for when you get the same number correct, its always taken into account. His time was 296 compared to the other 2 of 101 and 91

Ah, I just hadn't seen it ever happen before.

Thanks for the explanation. :)

[Xavier Lang]

My first score of zero ever! ;)

[Black Angel]

Congrats to Darth for his win in Feb. I must say the questions this month seemed particularly tricky, so he did really well!

[Darth Flatulent]

BA is right, some of those were incredibly hard. Badwednesday would have beat me if she didn't miss a day. It was close this month.

[Mr SmokeTooMuch]

Not as close as january :)
Congratulations.

Hehe, I forgot about that. I love the competition.

[Mr SmokeTooMuch]

Congrats again Darth.

Do it! You know you want to!

I decided to give it a shot.... 4/10, guessed on every single one....

Are the questions always about media, pop culture, and celebrities? I know almost nothing about either...

The subject changes randomly by day. Some days are cake, some are nearly impossible.

[Xavier Lang]

4/10 and 3/10 for the last couple of days. I don't know my music or celebrities

Yay, at least I'm not the only one.

[Mr SmokeTooMuch]

Lots of time the questions aren't on topic - you better brush up on college songs when answering World Trivia and musicals when it's history day :).

[Xavier Lang]

I'm actually learning random trivia about religion by playing. There are many questions involving topics I know nothing about. By seeing the correct answer, I do fill my brain with a tiny bit more useless information.

[FeatsofClay]

And w ehad 11 people yesterday! Cool to see more people playing!

[Darth Flatulent]

More people is great. I think my winning streak is in trouble this month.

[Black Angel]

It would have been 12 if my internet wasn't down yesterday. :(

[FeatsofClay]

OK, wacky scoring I can't figure out made sense. How about making this make sense:

Player Days Played Wins Avg Pts/Game Total Points
1. alsih2o 10 1 8.1 73
2. Bregh 9 5 -- 71
3. DarthFlatulent 10 1 7.7 69
4. MrSmokeTooMuch 10 1 7.2 65
5. Dunar Lightfoot 10 1 6.6 59
6. Black Angel 9 0 -- 52
7. XavierLangKT 8 0 -- 44
8. Belladonna 7 0 -- 44
9. Badwednesday 6 1 -- 43
10. doc 4 0 -- 27


If I have played 10 days and averaged 8.1 points per day how can I have 73 points? Same for all of the averages.

[Black Angel]

I think the average pts/game is how many you get correct out of 10, whereas the total points is based on their wierd points awarding system (eg the first 3 players get +4 points, then next get +3 points etc etc or something like that). Bad wording on their part basically.

Well, it seems obvious now that you point it out! :)

Fear the power of my mighty 2 people.


FEAR IT!


















Really, go ahead. Fear it a bit. You might enjoy the sensation.

[Name Lips]

Celebrity stuff again. :(

[FeatsofClay]

Congrats to Bregh for kicking trivia buttocks last month!

[Bregh]

.

[Name Lips]

Music... I knew one of them anyway...

[Ascarel]

I still think their "History" category is pretty much shit, but overall, it was fun.

Yeah, I tried once recently and there was a question about Canada's anthem whose "correct" answer was so off, I had to laugh. And stop playing. I love trivias. :(

[Space Cadet B^3]

speed kills, but I do my best...

[Lmik]

Ok a whole new month for some serious changes in the rankings. I will fear feats of clay and enjoy it right up until the topic is "10 things you never wanted to know about New Zealand"

That shouldn't be too hard. I can think of a MILLION things I don't want to know about New Zealand!

[Pigs in Space]

It starts with sheep.

[Lmik]

And ends with me topping the leaderboard in June (as long as Billybean bag doesn't play every day)

[Space Cadet B^3]

:heh:

I've been getting a little humbled more often, but I really try to just do them as quickly as I can to keep points up.

[Xavier Lang]

Playing every day does make a huge difference. The folks in 7th, 8th, and 9th have a better average points per day than I do but I'm in 4th because I haven't flaked a day yet. Even my 1/10 is better than there not playing. :D

[Black Angel]

I know, it sucks I forgot to play for a few days last week, and now I'm down in 10th!

Well who cares about rankings - its not like any of us are neglecting to take care of our three year old sons or risking our employment just to make sure that we play every day. Can someone kneecap Alish2o for me?

[Harry]

Can someone kneecap Alish2o for me?

:shock: Dude. Just... dude! Alsih2o can fuck your shit the fuck up! Fuck! Dude... He's like Charles Bronson, Deadpool and Chuck Norris rolled into one, with one of those spinning pottery thingies to boot! You'd better watch your back.

[FeatsofClay]

:shock: Dude. Just... dude! Alsih2o can fuck your shit the fuck up! Fuck! Dude... He's like Charles Bronson,
Old and dead?

Deadpool.

Fictional and sarcastic?


:and Chuck Norris

Cheesy and Repetitive?

Now THAT sounds sexy!

Yeah thats exactly why I want someone else to do it. I know that my removal by 13,000km is no defense against someone who can just leap into the undercariage of an boeing and be scaling the walls of my Casa del Machine Gun in 9 hours (watch out for our anti fruit beagles when you are coming through customs - you should be OK with an AK47 but if you have an apple you are in for some serious sniffing) but as long as he kills the hit man (hopefully while forgetting to play trivia that day) before the guy can say "It was Lmik".

Am I mistaken or does that mean I can stay with you if I come to NZ?

[Lmik]

Well we got a spare bed and if you make it as far as wellington then you probably deserve someone to stay with. When are you coming? Do I have more than nine hours to change the sheets?

[Lmik]

Way to go Feats on topping the leaderboard for June. I'm am going to miss at least a day this weekend as I set off up country so if I could just give you, Darth or Triple B my password so that they can answer for me I would appreciate it.

Edit - had to change the month to June (of course that won't register in Feats post below so it will look like his Hubris is predicting a win for him in July)

I got your back.

[Space Cadet B^3]

Considering my impending move as the month progresses, I may be less and less competitive.

[Xavier Lang]

I need you all to keep missing days. Its the only way I stay in the top 5 :D

[Lmik]

OK - Who the hell is Merganser? Where can we find him and how do we kill him?

[Harry]

Duck. Throw some bread crumbs on the water and wait.

Harry's turtle will take him out! :tongue:

[Name Lips]

1 out of 10 today. Le Sigh.

[Merganser]

OK - Who the hell is Merganser? Where can we find him and how do we kill him?

You keep asking that. Clearly, Merganser is a member of this board. I mean come on!
Edit: shit, Milkie - you only have like 2 dozen posts more than me, who are you?

[Lmik]

I'm not a smart man and a definite noob. Five wins in a row on the daily trivia game definitleydeserves some negative rep however.

[FeatsofClay]

Whoa! Careful! He has excellent taste in pottery!

Harry Joy says he brought you here from PNW. I don't know what PNW is, but I assume it must be for Pansy-n-Whingey, ha-HO! Take that, you!

Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha - THRUST!

YOICKS! and away!

(I got me a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff for Christmas!)

[Lmik]

I would defintiley attack and dismember you with my lightening sharp wit and repartee if only I didn't have the same aptitude for them as Wylie E Coyote has for Acme WOMD.

I know I don't post much, but I have posted more than once in this thread :).

Another month and another drubbing by Merganser. Have you thought of deliberatley getting some wrong occasionally just to keep the competition tight?

Huh. Are those really the August statistics? I really didn't think I did all that well over the course of August. I guess I was letting the "Celebrities" categories get me down.

[Lmik]

Well another month and another competition of two divisions - Merganser and the rest of us. Fortunately October has started without Merganser blowing out to his normal 20 point lead immediately.

[Xavier Lang]

I get to be in first place for an entire day! Woohoo!

[Merganser]

It's a hard life.

Seriously, though - I get so pissed off when the "History" category contains technical details about Broadway musicals. That is so not history, despite having been something that technically happened in the past.

[Lmik]

Hey guys - I need as many people as possible to play daily trivia today to artificially inflate my score so click the link at the top of the pager log in and let rip.

A big sloppy kiss if you don't!

[Lady Fury]

I've missed playing trivia so I created an account and with any luck I'll remember to play each day.

[Black Angel]

Cool - the more the merrier!

Although you're not allowed to be better than me... ;)

Beginners luck for me. I usually don't do that well for longer then a few days. :tongue:
