YWS Chat Quiz Shows

Trident · 2007-11-11T18:05:35Z

Who: monkeys and dragons What: a battle of the wits Where: the YWS chat When: This Monday-Friday at 4:00 EST PM / 3:00 CST Why: in honor of our birthday Come support your side in a test of intelligence (and how well you can look up stuff on Google :wink: ). At the time listed above, I will be hosting the YWS Birthday Quiz Shows which will pit the supporters of monkeys versus supporters of dragons. There'll be a separate room from the lounge, so hopefully there will be less interruptions. If you're on the monkeys team, I ask that you turn your chat color to green and if you're on the dragons team please turn your chat color to red. That way I can differentiate between teams for scoring purposes. Each night I will have fifteen questions (not multiple choice) that any member can type in as quickly as they can. The majority of questions will be about literature, with some other stuff mixed in. Spelling counts! We are the YWS after all, and I think it is the only fair way to settle any disputes. So make sure you come support your side. Who will win the battle of the wits: dragons or monkeys? Some ground rules: 1. You may look up things online. In fact, most of the questions I wrote are geared toward being a little harder so people might have to look them up unless you might know the answer off the top of your head, in which you have an advantage. 2. Spelling counts. You're allowed to look things up, so spelling shouldn't be a problem. That way I shouldn't have any issues with answers that might be considered correct, but are spelled way off. 3. When I ask for the name of a person or book, I need the full name.

Stupid mother - wouldn't let me on the PC.

There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Twit, what time is it right now?

man hands on misery to man
it deepens like a coastal shelf
get out as early as you can
and don’t have any kids yourself.

Okay, we had only player for the monkeys this time around so things are getting close. The dragons whipped some fur with a 13 to 2 lashing.

Scores now are: Monkeys 32 Dragons 28

Dragons can still win this! Play tomorrow for the final game!

Well, I'm definitely playing tomorrow - we can't let those Monkeys beat us now, can we?

And thank you, Tri, for organising all this - it's a lot of fun!

Sorry I couldn't be there and congratulations monkeys. You've won this battle but you'll not win the war. Hehe. Seriously though, well done everyone and thanks for hosting it Trident, that was really fun!
