Pop Culture Pop Quiz at PokéCommunity Get-Together 8
Welcome to the PokéCommunity Pop Culture Pop Quiz (henceforth known as the PCPCPQ). Do you spend all your time watching E! or looking at TMZ? Do you know the difference between each Transformers film? Can you recite all of the lyrics to all of the songs on Born This Way? If you can, then this is the event for you this Get-Together! (If you can't, this is also the event for you this Get-Together, as I won't be asking any of that stuff!)
Although the PCPCPQ is labelled as a pop quiz, the format that I'll be using over the course of the Get-Together is more in line with the traditional English pub quiz. There will be themed question rounds posted in this thread at specified times of the Get-Together. The aim of the quiz is to get the most answers correct in each round; the points from each round will be added up at the end and the person - or team - with the most points will be declared the winner(s). Yay!
What are these 'rounds' you speak of?
This is a 'pop culture' pop quiz, so the rounds will be entertainment themed. There will be seven in total, encompassing:
So as not to overwhelm people with too much at once, the question rounds will be spaced out over the Get-Together, at the times mentioned above.
How do I play?
Very simply! For each round, send me the answers to the questions in a Private Message to me - Mr Cat Dog - with the PM clearly labelled with the round whose questions you are answering and whether you are answering individually or as part of a team. You can send your answers it at any time during the Get-Together, but I must receive your answers to every round by the end of the Get-Together (23:59 EDT) if you wish to be eligible for the top prize. Below is a sample of the structure your PM would take:
So, what's this you mentioned about teams?
As is true with pub quizzes in real life, I thought it would be a good idea to encourage team playing in this event. If you want to pool your entertainment knowledge with some of your friends on the forum for whatever reason (to increase the chances of winning, to come on to PC at different times to submit answers etc.) If you wish to enter as part of a team, that's great! You just need to make sure that the other team members do wish to participate with you, and you need to think of a team name. To certify your team, you must also post in this thread with your team name as well as the other members of your team. (They don't have to post if they don't want to, but there needs to be at least one representative posting here.)
Being part of a team means that you all share in the glory. If a team wins the PCPCPQ, all the team members will get an emblem (details below). However, only one person in the team needs to send answers. Different people in the team can send answers to different rounds if they want to, but I'm not particularly bothered about the micro-dynamics of individual teams.
Two things should be stressed about team gameplay. The first is that if you want to leave a team before the quiz is over, you won't be able to take part in the rest of the quiz as an individual. The second is that your team must be finalized before you submit your first set of answers: no latecomers, unfortunately. So just think carefully about setting up your team.
And... what do we win?
There are three emblems as part of this event.
The winning contestant/team will get the Pop Culture Brainiac emblem:
If a contestant/team wins a round, he/she/they will get the Pop Culture Round Winner emblem:
If a contestant/team doesn't win the whole quiz or a round, he/she/they will still get the Pop Culture Participant emblem:
Who's running this here thingy, then?
That would be me. If you have any questions about this event, feel free to post them in this thread and I'll answer them ASAP. Apart from posting team names and answering questions and posting new rounds, feel free to use this thread as a discussion thread about the quiz. (Although, I don't feel that this needs to be emphasized, but no cheating please. That includes putting answers in this thread.)
I think that's everything, so happy quizzing, everyone!
