Taking our annual tradition of pre-awards Trivia, we've livened it up a little bit...and now I can participate, meaning that nobody else (well, maybe mantis) has any chance at all. Think I'm talking out of my ass? Well feel free to drop in the chat room at 5:45 Eastern Time and prove me wrong. The trivia questions were all made by Corkscrewed this year so I have absolutely no idea what they are. However we did agree on a new format of trivia that is more of a game-show type setting then your run of the mill trivia (just to mix things up these year). First, there will be a large preliminary round where anybody is invited to play, consisting of about 50 'question->answer' format trivia questions as well as 25 true/false questions. The top three scorers plus myself will then move onto the finals where we will partake in 15 'elistamation' questions, taking straight from ESPN's "Stump The Schwab" TV show. If you're unfamiliar, here's how these questions will work. Cork will ask a certain question, a question that contains somewhere from 14-20 possible answers. The rest of the site will be down so nobody can go and check, not to mention people will only have about 3-5 seconds to answer. The people will continuously answer the question in order, answering one possible question at a time, knocking each things off the list. For instance...if the question was "Name the top 15 parks on The List", the four of us (me and the three highest scorers from the Preliminary round) will continuously answer one park at a time, earning points for each correct answer. If someone doesn't know, gets it wrong, or says an answer already said, they are eliminating from only that particular question, but are able to continue in the next Elistamation Question. Every 5 Elistimation questions we will eliminate the person with the lowest score, and after all 15 are answered we'll see if anybody really truly can Stump The Godfather.
See you all in the chat at about 5:30 when the entire site will become the chat. Hope to see all my favorite people in there (no, not you Kumba ) -
