| Post subject: | Psypoke Trivia Summer 2013 - Complete |
WRAP UP Attendance was a bit low this time with only 5 but I suppose the date and time can be to blame for that. Nevertheless, I am sure that all the participants along with your host had lots of fun! First Half: EvilPenguin broke out with an early lead, nearly sweeping the first category, but DNA soon kicked into gear and by half time the two were neck and neck with 13 points a piece. twistedturtwig also collected a respectable 3 points in the half. Scores at the half: 1st (tie): EvilPenguin :: 13 points 1st (tie): DNA :: 13 points 3rd: twistedturtwig :: 3 points 4th: Cherrygrove :: 0.5 points Second Half: EvilPenguin and DNA continued at it in the beginning of the second half and after 40 questions the two were tied 17-17. Unfortunately the competition ended at this point in the game -- either EP was too exhausted from all his typing errors or perhaps the questions were just to difficult for him ;) -- whatever the cause, EvilPenguin only managed to score 2 points in the entire final third of the game and finished in second place. DNA on the other hand answered six consecutive questions (not including freezing) starting at question 39, tying the record for most questions answered consecutively. He went on to score a total of 16 points in the half (record is 17, held by DNA) and to win his fourth consecutive Trivia with 29 points, a new record! Flaming_Wuzzle swept the Rush category, becoming the first person to sweep a category! Serpentsounds 'snuck into third like nobody's business', earning all his points in the end of the game. There was a Minute Madness after the regular Trivia game but it failed as usual. Final Scores: 1st: DNA :: 29 points 2nd: EvilPenguin :: 19 points 3rd: Serpentsounds :: 4 points 4th: twistedturtwig :: 3 points 5th : Cherrygrove :: 2 points 6th (tie): GhostPony :: 1 point 6th (tie): Flaming_Wuzzle :: 1 point Here are all the questions from Trivia: Category: RBY 1.

Please respond to the poll regarding the day/time so I can best accommodate everyone. The poll contains several time options for each day this time. Will the defending and only champion (since I've taken over as host), DNA, be able to claim his fourth consecutive title, or will a former trivia king or queen become champion once again? Perhaps a new-comer will surprise us with frightening speed and Pokemon knowledge. Come out and show us how much of a Pokemon nerd you are :o Note: Vegas has DNA at 3:1 odds of winning. Past Trivia: http://www.psypokes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31035 http://www.psypokes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30808 http://www.psypokes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30390 GAME DETAILS Where/when? In the #psypoketrivia chat channel on KBFail's server (irc.kbfail.net). Date and time is Friday, August 2, 2013 at 3:00:00 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: TBD 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? Corresponding UTC (GMT) Friday, August 2, 2013 at 19:00:00 Americas: Los Angeles (U.S.A.) Friday, August 2, 2013 at 12:00:00 Noon Denver (U.S.A.) Friday, August 2, 2013 at 1:00:00 PM Chicago (U.S.A.) Friday, August 2, 2013 at 2:00:00 PM New York (U.S.A.)

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'd be available for an unknown number of those for each day, since for me, it would be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Now, I'm going to guess, (because I believe I heard Cherry is from Quebec) that I just need the world clock... I WILL BE BACK. EDIT: So, I should be available for every one of those days at ... Well, the first two options of each day... I think. Ill recheck tomorrow. |

Friday would be best for me, since that's my off-day for cross country. Some of the Thursday times might work, although it'd be stretching it. Saturday would be okay as well, since my practice is early in the morning then, but it's still be most convenient for me on Friday. Looking forward to another one of your awesome Trivias, CG! I only made about half of the last one, so hopefully I'll have a better shot this time around if I'm able to make it for the entire thing. |

So the poll wasn't too helpful but going by the posted replies, I've decided to set the date for Friday afternoon since this only excludes one person (sorry Dare234. I really enjoyed having you play during the Christmas Trivia last year!) |

L'heure de l'Est (en anglais Eastern Time Zone) est un fuseau horaire couvrant la côte est de l'Amérique du Nord, ainsi que la côte ouest de l'Amérique du Sud. Au Canada et aux États-Unis, il correspond en hiver à l'heure normale de l'Est (HNE), en anglais Eastern Standard Time (EST), soit UTC-5, et en été à l'heure avancée de l'Est (HAE), en anglais Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), soit UTC-4. so yeah, as DNA said, it's in the topic title 8) |
