VIDEO GAMES TRIVIA
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!
