if you know how to irc then all you need is 5 minutes of free time to get set up. if you don't know how to irc then it might take you 15 minutes. it's really not hard

I'm in there most of the overseas daytime when other people are asleep and can get you set up so it's real easy to log in on friday and play when it actually starts. If you have 20 minutes to spare please show up and just get set up in advance to make things easier for us during the actual contest.

I think the best answer to your question is "stop by when it's easy for you." Someone will be around to help you, Squish -- either MwH or one of the other ops in the room. Welcome to the team!! :neckbeard:

All other goons reading this thread, this applies to you, too! If you think you might want to check out the action during the contest, you can go ahead and join the chat now. The buzz for this year is already buzzing, and your help is needed for the picture questions. Yes, you personally!

Nearly every question in this contest is the definition of "trivial", so a big part of winning is just getting people to show up. Every person in the world has a different set of information in their brain, and a forgotten little factoid in the corner of your skull could be what makes all the difference. We have come a long way in just a few years, and I am not joking at all when I say that the single thing that puts us over the top might very well be that book report you did in high school about some obscure athlete, or that stuffed animal you won from a box of breakfast cereal when you were five years old. Come sit with us and laugh as we puzzle over the most inane questions, and feel like the champion of the world when you contribute that one tiny bit of information that gets us an answer.

I wonder what it must be like for non-trivia players while their city gets taken over.

The challenges where people run around suck for us, because everyone forgets how to act in public. You get morons in any state of dress running around in traffic and acting like we should all yield for their idiocy.

I know I'm over reacting, but I've had a few bad experiences over the years.
