SO. SG was thinking, "What's another game we can do for the festival that doesn't have to do with numbers this time?" And for a while I've been thinking questions, but every time I quickly brush it off with the realization people can cheat. Because. You know. Google is a thing like that.
X3 SO. Last night, I realized the solution. REAL TIME! Rather than "Here are questions, PM me answers", this will be "Everyone get in the chatbox. No chitchat for the night. Staff will ask questions and the first to answer gets points! Highest scorers get prizes." x'3 I'm probably going to get Jay to ask questions with me. This puts us each at a bit of a disadvantage, not having the opportunity to go for all the questions, but ah well. We get enough stuff usually. xP
But yeah. So just everyone show up and we have random trivia. Pokemon will be a prevalent subject, as well as VC in general and probably some summer-themed things. However, it may extend to History, some Literature, Science, animals, nature, people, or even silly shit, like guessing someone's favorite fast food place. xP
|D I'm thinking big prizes will be given to the few highest people, but how many people and how big will depend on how many people show up and how big they score.
Aside from that, I think every question answered will earn either 1 Token or $100; answerer's choice. That is, correctly answer 5 questions first, get 5 Tokens... or $500... or 2 Tokens and $300.. x3 You get the idea. Depending on how late this lasts and how quickly it goes the number of questions may vary, so we might cap this at like 10 Tokens or so, but after that point you can still keep winning money. x3 If it goes too long we may make it a lesser amount to get stuff too, but we'll see. This is going to be largely by ear.
As of now, we'd like to try to plan this for NEXT WEEK, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, at 7:00PM EASTERN[/u] time. This means if you're Central, 6pm; if you're Mountain, 5pm; if you're Pacific or Arizona, 4pm; if you're Tere, 8pm; if you're in some other non-US time zone, hopefully you're used to converting for us lazy people by now. x'3; *shot* I know this is a bit early for the Pacific folks, but I just didn't want to start too late for the Eastern.
Does this sound good for everyone? Please let us know how likely you are to attend by voting in the poll above~ 83
If you'd just like it to be rescheduled by an hour or so in either direction, please go ahead and mark the 'yes' that best fits and post saying so. The actual "reschedule" options are for those who would like a completely different night, or perhaps a morning, etc. :3 Thank ya~
