    HOW THIS WORKS

    What is the Get-Together without VG Trivia? A miserable little pile of events. It's time to get your video games noggin on! Your mission - get as many questions right as you can! The winning team will then be awarded 300 points towards their team's total at the end of the event, with second place receiving 200 points and last place receiving 50 points. Exciting! Read on to see how this event will be panning out.

    Each day, I will be posting a series of video game questions, ranging across all sorts of topics and challenges. These will run up to the 17th July, to give me time to close off the event on the last day.

    CHANGES TO THE EVENT

    There are going to be some twists in this year's event! Firstly, this is the first year that the VG Trivia and VGM Trivia events are going to be combined! All the madness is under one roof and therefore each day I will be alternating between Trivia and VGM Trivia. I will also be deciding tiebreakers in a different way - there will be no bonus questions this time around.

    Instead, I'm bringing back and expanding on a feature from a previous year! This year, each team will pick three representatives for their team. These representatives will then need to choose their own topic in which I will then pose them and ONLY them a question on that topic. Whichever team then gets the most right between their trio wins. Each rep will also have a Masterclass event, where they will have ten questions to answer on their chosen topic, so look out for that! NB: your Reps must be chosen by the end of the first day of the GT.

    I will also be changing how answers are submitted this year - you only need one person to send them. I will then advise which ones are correct/not correct and you then get one opportunity to correct any mistakes, before submitting your final answers. I will ONLY be accepting answers via Discord, as I barely manage to check the forums until I come to update the thread, so it is easier to manage it all via Discord. My Discord handle is [*]Discord (Arcaneum#0823).

    THE NITTY-GRITTY

    Throughout the event, to try and create clear leads etc. for teams, there will be an internal scoreboard. Each question correctly answered will net you 5 points, with a full set giving you a bonus 5 points. In the event of a tiebreaker, the winning team will receive a further bonus 5 points.

    Each day will start at around 17:00 - 19:00 EDT, depending on my schedule. Anything submitted after 19:00 will not be counted, it is on you to manage your timezones, not me.

    If you wish to get updates on the event (answers, etc.) then you will need to be on our PokéCommunity Discord Server. Once there, you will need to assign yourself the @Trivia role (by simply typing !addrole trivia in either #gt-general or your team chat) and then you'll never miss another update again!

    AND FINALLY...

    A few closing notes - in the spirit of the competition, please try not to look up the answers! Use existing knowledge to answer these questions - there's a wide range of games, eras and genres mentioned so that there's something for everyone. If you have any questions at all regarding how the event is run, don't hesitate to post it here or message me.

    The event itself is of course competitive, but the setup is made so co-operating will net you better results, so make sure to liaise with your team regularly, to have a better chance of winning!

    And most importantly...kick back, relax, get your game on and have fun!

    DAY ONE - RED HERRING!

    Got ya! There will be no questions today - as mentioned in the OP, you have until the end of the day (00:00 BST, so around 10 hours from the start of the GT) to decide three Reps for your team. You will then need to DM me these three names and their topics of choice.

    Otherwise, get swotting up, 'cause I feel this year's is going to be particularly hard! For moving forward, the schedule will be:


    • July 5th - Select Reps

    • July 7th - VG Music Round 1: Character Themes
    • July 8th - VG Trivia Round 2: Locations
    • July 9th - VG Music Round 2: Overworlds
    • July 10th - VG Trivia Round 3: Bosses
    • July 11th - VG Music Round 3: Boss Themes
    • July 12th - VG Trivia Round 4: Rep Masterclass

    DAY ONE (FOR REAL) - Cheats, Codes and Tricks

    Today's theme is all about cutting corners - whether that's by cheating, inputting a secret code or abusing the game's flaws to perform tricks and glitches. Unfortunately you won't be able to use any of these to answer the questions, but I'm sure you'll get on just fine!

    Answers to be sent to me via Discord (Arcaneum#0823). Remember - you get two chances, so make sure to make those submissions count! This round will finish at 00:00 Tuesday 06/07; don't forget that @Trivia role for updates!

    Your questions today are:


    1. What is the Konami Code input? Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start.
    2. In Sonic 2 (Genesis version), what sounds must you play in the Sound Test to then enable Level Select? 19, 65, 09, 17.
    3. To perform the Infinite Sword Glitch in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, (this is based on doing it from a sign etc, not Navi or an enemy). Whilst crouching crouch stab and then cancel that attack just as you interact with an object.
    4. What is the button input to enable permanent "On Fire" mode in NBA Jam? A/B/C 7 times, then hold Up, B and C.
    5. In Metal Gear Solid 3, there are a few ways to defeat The End. You can kill him as normal, shoot him as he is being wheeled into a building... and how else can you kill him? Leave the console on for a week (or change the console's clock to a week ahead) and The End will die of old age.
    6. In Age of Empires 2, what code can you put into the chat, which replaces all flying creatures with flying dogs? WOOF WOOF
    7. What password will take you straight to the Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream fight in Super Punch-Out? 007 373 5963
    8. In Super Smash Brothers, wavedashing is a mechanic used to allow you move faster across the stage. There is another mechanic involving movement called dashdancing. What does this involve? Repeatedly going left and right, causing you to dash left and right at high speeds.
    9. In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, what button can you continually press whilst running and holding down on the D-Pad to gain infinite stamina? B.
    10. In order to stop Witcher 3 players abusing exploiting infinite cowhides for infinite money, they patched the game so that after killing a certain amount of cows, a Chort enemy would spawn. How many cows need to be killed before the Chort spawns? 7.

    As usual, submissions to me via Discord - you get one shot and then one chance of redemption, don't waste them!

    DAY SIX - Get Ready and Fight!

    So two rounds of fighting bosses wasn't enough, now it's time to try and guess the themes of some more heavy-hitting bosses in our Boss Theme round of VGM Trivia! For this round, you will need to tell me the GAME and also the name of the BOSS the theme is for. In the instance it is a generic boss theme or the boss is not named, I need at least a signifier of that (so for example if it is generic boss music, I am fine for you to say "Boss Theme" or if it is a Final Boss, then "Final Boss Theme" is sufficient)

    As usual, submissions to me via Discord - you get one shot and then one chance of redemption, don't waste them!

    Today's Songs

    Song 1 - Vagrant Story - Guildenstern

    Song 2 - Tekken 3 - True Ogre

    Song 8 - Disgaea 2 - Zenon

There will be a varying level of difficulty, so to offset that you'll be required not only to provide me the game the song is from, but also another fact about it. I will specify what that is with each song (there will be duplicates).

    FINAL DAY - VICTORY IS NEAR

    It's the last round of VG Trivia! Truly sad, I know. Today's round is the last music round and we're going for the fitting theme of victory fanfares and endgame credits, to close off a truly amazing effort all around. Just give me the game for this one, as I'm feeling nice.

    But wait... oh my god there's postgame DLC content?! Remember that round I missed... well I won't lie I was struggling to find a suitable bunch of songs fitting the theme, so I've decided to instead replace THAT one with our Character Themes round, so there's TWO segments to catch up on. This one I will need the Character Name AND the game the song is SPECIFICALLY from.

    The good news? It's the last one, so you have until Sunday evening to get these sorted. Good luck everyone!

    As usual, submissions to me via Discord - you get one shot and then one chance of redemption, don't waste them!
