That, and, if the pictures are posted publicly the answers are likely to be posted publicly as well (by commenters driving by with answers/speculation). It would get out of control real fast.

Which made me double take when I read about the online team registration. But I guess it's hard not to take people's money if they're willing to overpay

Oz hates the internet, which should be motivation enough for anyone to join what's clearly the most Internet team. He's not quite sure what to think of us, but I get the impression that he likes us for at the very least shaking things up and having a quite obviously great time.

As the team's self appointed official PR liaison, I am going to try and get us another Trivia Focus.

Typically the question is "who is this person?" or something similarly easy if you've already identified the picture.

Oz knows the contest today is much different from the pre-internet years and probably wishes it could be like the old days. In that sense, we're probably a reminder that those days are dead. However, I get the sense that he appreciates the fact that a new team has enthusiastically embraced his baby and brought some new life to something that was starting to become a bit of an ol boys club.

If you have not done trivia with us before, and want to get a sense of what the contest and some of the opposing teams are like before this weekend, you should drop by IRC tonight around 9 pm EDT!

Of course, and the questions are typically transcribed quickly in chat so you don't even need to listen to the audio stream to participate. It's a good idea to get verified on IRC today though because people are pretty busy during the contest.
