Hey everyone, now that I'm done with exams I am able to host another Psypoke Trivia. Fun times await! I'll be hosting it sometime on the weekend of May 11. Please respond to the poll regarding the day/time so I can best accommodate everyone.


GAME DETAILS

Where/when?

In the #PsypokeTrivia chat channel on KBFail's server (irc.kbfail.net). Date and time is Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 6:00:00 PM EDT. I anticipate that the game will take 1 hour. See below for other time zones.

For using the java applet to access the chats: go here, click on the Java Applet link, and type /join #psypoketrivia when you're connected.

How it works:

At the start +m will be set. I will state the category if a new one is starting.

Next, before stating the question, I will say "Ready?", then set -m and ask the question.

At this point everyone will be able to give the answer to the question. There will be no limit to how many times you can answer in. Please do not spam the channel and only submit answers to the question at this time so as to reduce lag.

When I see the first person to give the correct answer I will set +m and then state the person who gave the answer as well as the correct answer. The person will earn a point. The goal is to earn as many points as you can.

Rules:

1. Do not use any colours or /me commands.
2. Do not argue if you thought that you answered before someone else. It will go by what appears on my screen only.
3. Do not use any reference materials online OR offline (such as the site or a text file on your computer).
4. Do not change your nick during the event.

Prizes:

I've decided this one is just for fun. Top two will earn +o in the next Trivia I host.

Questions:

Why should I go?
It's fun! The more participants, the more fun it is.

Are the questions Pokemon-related?
Yes, most of the questions will be Pokemon related.

What time is it in my time zone?

Is there freezing?
Yes. Here is how it will be implemented:

-only the player in the lead will be affected by freezing. This includes being tied for the lead.
-you will be frozen each time your score reaches a multiple of five, i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
-while frozen, you will not be permitted to answer the question asked after you were frozen. You will only be frozen for one question.
-if you do attempt to answer a question while frozen, you will be penalized one point. Note that if you are penalized, the next point you earn will bring you back to a multiple of five and you will be frozen again. You do not need to keep track of your score, I will tell you when you are frozen.
-if you give an answer while frozen you can't take it back, you will lose the point.

Why can't I talk when I get in there?
This would be supposing that you're late and +m is set. This usually means that it is between questions. +m is a special mode to be set on chat channels that mutes people without special privileges (voice or op). These are only given to some staff and others who have won the status in previous games.

How will typos be dealt with?
If they are not too bad I will accept them. This will be subject to my discretion but I will try to be consistent.

What happens to rule-breakers?
Loss of all points in the game, loss of all Psybucks on the offender's forum account, and permanent bans from #psypoke, #PsypokeTrivia, the forums, the main site, and the internet forever. In other words, don't do it. :O


If you have any questions about joining or playing the game please post them here.

I'll be good for pretty much any day, although Friday works out best for me. I am determined to get that second place spot this time!

No, I gave her one.

I'll try and be there, Sunday and Thursday for sure, Friday and Saturday are up in the air as of now.

I'll try to be here.
~Moar misc. questions!!!

I can be there on Thursday or Friday, though I prefer Friday (and Thursday's a bit uncertain for me). Saturday and Sunday are basically out of the question for me, especially at noon.



/me gives Chill an ultimatum.

I'll try to play. Hopefully over the weekend. I am going for every question wrong this time. Hope Krisp gives my prized rank of 'I suck at everything in general'.

Is that a challenge? I'm in then.

Hey, I'm sure you'll do well this time, or at least better. I got points pretty far into the negatives too.

You can't get negatives in Trivia. Anyway, maybe I'll beat DNA. When hell freezes over

I pwned you last time in the Misc. section DNA, so we may beat you this time.

You obviously didn't see the small print.

I saw the small print. I didn't feel the need to address it.

@GP750: That's just one section. You can't win a game on one section alone. Besides, that's not how the trivia works. Trivia is a free-for-all.

Sounds like fun, as always I'll be there if I can, it looks like I'm free all days besides Friday the 10th. Assuming I'm not still passed out at 3pm on Sat

Edit: Actually if it doesn't run late Friday should be fine

depending on if i'm able to make it there may be impromptu stuff afterward

I hope you'll be able to make it EP. I loved that impromptu game last time!

I may try to at least make it for impromptu. Depends on the time.

But if you plan it, then it's not impromptu anymore.

He could come up with questions on the spot.

There's less than a day left in the poll. Looks like this will be on Thursday.

Don't think I can make it on the set date, sorry.
