Something to keep in mind for next year for sure! Lutha, that would be fantastic!  I just learned about the contest last year, so I'm happy to help get a team together for the next one.

Heads up, I'm putting together a very loose planning doc for next year's trip to Stevens Point. Obviously it's WAY early to set anything in stone, but if you have any interest in going to Point for next year's contest, please let me know. PM, IRC, email, whatever. As for the commemoration shirts...working on that now.

I'm lucky I was allowed to spend as much time as I did on trivia this weekend. I know I would not be able to actually travel for it.

Look at what you people have done to me Just look at this. We all know our Google profiles get irreperably polluted by 54 hours of googling ridiculous poo poo, but Amazon apparently thinks it's cool and good to recommend me poo poo based on Oz's trivia questions.

Hey, I actually rented The Intern from Google Play to confirm an answer. My recommendations may never fully recover. Thanks, $50 free credit from Nexus 6p.

Wasn't there a question about the duff last year? Apparently it's actually something we need to know for Oz's insane disney kid's programming obsession.

The coy Network reference needs to be much bigger and holy cow why is Trivial Fursuit so huge Also have you ever looked into getting a back on these shirts? How much more does that cost? I would love to have a bit that says 6th place and our full team name somewhere at least, I guess we can't put everyone's chat names for fear of the Internet Boogeyman though CrashCat fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Apr 21, 2016 |

CrashCat posted:The coy Network reference needs to be much bigger and holy cow why is Trivial Fursuit so huge I don't know, it's just the size I ended up with!! You're right though, it's huge, so expect a downsizing in the actual format. I don't mind advertising our team name, but it doesn't need to be quite so ginormous. I was actually kind of picturing this logo as maybe an upper-left breast logo instead of across the whole chest? But, I will play with proportions. Someone should generate one of those word cloud things based on usernames. Maybe we could get that printed on the back. All I can remember about printing on the back is that it's extra...I'll have to see what the cost might be.

Based on votes, this is the style we'll be seeing on the commemorative shirts -- I'll play with proportions tomorrow. ORDER HERE ...through April 28th.

I love the passion of the team and there's a lot of great discussion on what we can do better next year. Unfortunately I'm not sure discussing this is in a semi-public forum is the way to go. It would pretty easy for teams around us in standings to use our lessons learned to their advantage. Already I would say a handful of teams made a jump with us towards closing the gap to dad's and festivus so we need to be more careful discussing "some things".

The Saturday Morning Freak Show is on! http://tunein.com/radio/90-FM-899-s23865/ This is Oz's weekly show and it's pretty interesting the week after trivia. He plays music from the contest and talks about his reasoning behind questions and how the songs tied in to them. It's on for four hours I think so get in IRC and hang out!

Well hey, only part of our success is based on our technology and process. The rest is from being really good at answering Oz's trivia questions. I think there was a reddit team last year and they ended up flaming out within two days. What teams are you referencing that are running up on us?

watching that highlight video, it blows my mind how absolutely loving horrible some of these on-air folks are at pronouncing things. the "cee why young" award???? how do these people run a trivia contest yet are not able to pronounce some of the most critical words in a question?

Best part is it sounded like they do a read-through of it all ahead of time too so it's not even like it's the first time the person has even read the question.

rawillkill posted:The rest of the top 10 I think it's natural to have a bit of variation year-to-year. I don't think it's realistic to expect us to increase our standing every year, especially when we're still pretty drat far away from the leaders. There's the top tier of Dad's and Festivus and then the next tier down has us, network, UUU, lactation, foole, etc. What I was asking is was there another newish team that is running up on us? It seems like the others in our tier have been there for a long time. And I'm not sure what black magic is needed to actually rival Dad's and Festivus.

Lutha Mahtin posted:the network guy from last year actually wasn't being a jerk. probably. what happened was that our ground crew went down to the station for the trophy ceremony and the guy said something like "maybe next year try some natural intelligence". our ground crew thought "wtf what is this nerd going on about, what a jerk" because none of them were aware that irl we are a shadowy B2B skynet corporation It was actually this. Guy was just bring a trivia work, not a spoilsport.
