The Pub Quiz Rules

[Sicon112]

We could always use Skype...

Yes, that's a possibility although we DID want something people won't have to sign up to and download in order to use...

Valid point. Skype is really annoying. I always leave it shut off because it keeps slamming itself into my firewall every three seconds otherwise and I refuse to let it allow other programs to contact mine.

Also, doesn't Skype cost money?

Not for chat rooms. Just phone calls.

[The Finch]

Oh. Ok.

[Scarab]

Why would you need to send a pm? So you and Zup can discuss if the players answered right?

Yeah, basically it was so we had somewhere that people could have somewhere to send their answers at the end of the quiz.

So right now, skype is out of the question, and if you don't wanna work with Personal Messages on this forum, you need another chat room? I'd make a new thread for that, because not a lot of people are gonna see this:

if anybody has a better free chat room than chatzy which allows for free PMS please let us now

I don't really see the problem with using the PM system and having to wait for the results, though.

We have changed the chosen chat forum of the quiz to Neat Chat. See the beginning of this post for details.

Don't worry, a new thread will be made on the day of the quiz, with the relevant announcements so hopefully everyone will see it. (I don't want to clutter up the Off topic page TOO much, we're not like those annoying Pill Spams >.>)

And the new system has a really good PM system allowing you to private chat with people if you want.

That is of course, unless we decide to go the TRADITIONAL route of pub quizes and just have everyone mark their own questions. I'm sure you guys could be trusted

The PMs are used for submitting answers, since this is not speed based, but knowledge based. Just like real pub chats. Plus, if you want to make teams, you can PM eachother and come up with an answer. At the beginning of the quiz, we'll sort out who is on teams and who wants to work alone. After that, I'll ask questions, and you PM Scarab or me the answer within the time limit. She and I will have the answers so we can tally your scores.

So, how is it going?

[Scarab]

So, how is it going?

Pretty well, we'll be ready for saturday Just a question of getting out timing right on the night... or in some of our cases, the mid afternoon. (Damn timezones...)

[Zup]

We are currently set for 6pm EST (that's 11:00PM GMT for Scarab and I) so hopefully you all can make it! I invited our illustrious puppet masters, and we'll see if we have some company!

If you didn't change the time since that form back in the other thread it'll be 22:00h for me. I'll be here... I tried to persuade Mr. A to join... Not sure if it'll work though.

[NeverSlender]

I'm now going out Saturday night for a friends birthday. I doubt I'll be back for 11 and if I am, I'll be in no fit state for a pub quiz.

You'd probably get a lot of the questions right Oh well, you'll be missed Slender. Enjoy your night out, and feel free to still show up if you can
