Welcome to the Weekend Nights of Trivia!... where you answer questions I guess. I mean, how much simpler can it get >_>
Actually, a lot more simpler. Because this year we'll be doing this IRC style. All the jumble mess of answers wont take place in the forum. Here's the shizz:
Of course, we will NOT participate in the thread, but in an IRC channel
We will run Saturday and Sunday from 7PM CDT onwards to whenever the hell our questions run out. Honestly, I have no idea how long we'll take. I'd say 10 minutes or 2 hours and I'd probably be lying.
To participate, just post in this thread with your channel username. For help, post here! To file a complaint, also post here. To say how awesome I am, post here. If you don't want an infraction though, then drop me a VM ^_^
If you absolutely do not understand any of this stuff hopefully everything becomes clear in a bit
Ok, the way the trivia will work: Saturday, Pokemon General. Sunday, Pokemon Games. I don't care what the church says. As said, 7PM CDT which is 1AM GMT. You answer the questions posted. More details will arrive to you when you join the IRC channel, First correct answer gets 10 points. Second correct answer gets 5 points. Third correct answer gets 2 points. Question periods are over after the question time out (which is secret) or 10 seconds after the third right answer.
If you absolutely sure on what to do, then just skip the spoiler and go to the technical details. If you think an IRC is some kind of college entrance exam you take while watching a Pokemon Movie then you should probably click the spoiler
Spoiler:
Oh, so you're playing it safe? Excellent. Just follow this long and complicated process, post on this thread, and you're good to go!
You see that "Chat" Dropbox at the top of the page right under the banned? Yeah, that invisible insignificant thing in the background. Click it, and now click "Download mIRC"
Follow whatever download and installation instructions you get. I'm seriously not typing this part, you shouldn't need help for that >_>
Now, run mIRC for the first time. Enter the basic options, skip the server and press OK You're probably wondering what the hell to do now. Actually, me too @[email protected]
...Oh ok, just go back to that Chat Dropbox below the banner and click "Open Chat in External Client". Shut your browser up and now mIRC may pop a link request. If it does, select "Change servers and join the channel" and press OK.
You are in the main chat! But that's not where we want to be! type "/part" and disappoint the poor chat veterans >__> Now you are taken to the irc.systemnet.info window. Now there, type "/join #tpcgt7Trivia". It may take a while, but another window will pop up. That is the official chat window! Congratulations, you are here! Now just go to the favorites menu and click add to favorites because you know you love us. I also recommend you just mess around with mIRC for a bit and google up a few guides too.
If you already know how to join, here's the technical details.
Channel name: #tpcgt7Trivia
Server: irc.Systemnet.info, Same server as #thePokeCommunity
Oh, and thank our friend zappyspiker for the wonderful emblems for first, second and third place. As well as participants. Which I am too lazy to post right now because I don't wanna spoil your surprise... or whatev >__>

In case any of you are terrible at timezones (like me), here's a little announcement:
The first trivia session will begin in approximately three hours!

You sure you want to handle this Sunday? If so, you're going to have to join so I can op you.

Check the time stamp at the top of my post... and add how many hours it will be in your own timezone.
Figured this would make it easier.

@Hiidoran
okay that's about four hours and from what you say it seems to be that the trivia will start at midnight where you live, add four hours and...thats about 8 where I live
Hiidoran
August 14th, 2010 2:17 PM
...no.
AceDragonite, the event starts in 1 hour and 42 minutes from now. Look at your clock, add two hours, and if you round that out to the nearest hour, then that's when you need to be in the channel in order to participate. The time stamp on my post should be in your timezone anyway, if you have configured it to do so in your UserCP.
