Jjs Goodman Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Wenk wenk. Hello kids, it's me, Gunter the penguin! I'm here to make this season even better with a trivia contest! Our annual popular Christmas Trivia Contest returns once more. We're going to be doing it for the 6th time in a row this year. If you didn't win in the previous years or if you are a newcomer, here's a chance to win some prizes! We will have 10 rounds overall. Rules: -After the question is posted, in 5 minutes, you must PM your answer to me or whoever is hosting. We will then post "Time's up!" after those minutes are up, and tally the scores. -You can use the internet if you'd like, but again, you only have 5 minutes, so you better know how to use Google. -The first correct answers get points, descending from however many are playing to 1, based on who answered first. For example, if 5 people are playing, and Fred, Hayden, SOF, Steel and Homie sent in their answers in that order, Fred would get 5, Hayden would get 4, and so on. If one person doesn't get it right, then they would be skipped and however many points they were supposed to get would go to the next person who answered, if any. -At the end of the tenth question, the person with the highest score wins. To have fairness, you cannot win twice in a row. You can play in the next game for overall score points, but if you are leading and won the previous game, the second place person will win instead. -You can play whenever you want, just do not interrupt during the middle of a game. However, be warned that the later you join to play, the less chance you have of winning the overall prizes. Prizes: -Whoever wins each individual round will gain two prizes: 500 doubloons and a point for their side on the scoreboard. -Whoever has the most overall points at the end after Round 10 will get four special grand prizes: exclusive badge, platinum color username, a point for their side on the scoreboard, and an exclusive SpongeBob collectable icon. The first round will be Sunday, December 10th @ 8:00pm EST, after Dunces & Dragons. The theme will be Christmas General, hosted by yours truly. Be sure to check this topic for updates. Any further questions, feel free to post here. You do not need to sign up to play, just be there when the game begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
