Sounds fun!

I'll try to make it for a few hours at least and come hang in IRC/mumble. I know a lot of useless trivia, but this looks like a level beyond what most people could know offhand. How do you guys find the answers? Just hoping someone on the team happens to have the answer or a way to quickly get it?

Mainly googling, occasionally knowledge, occasionally looking in our pantry's

It's pretty rare for someone to just know the answer but someone will often know something to point us in the right direction. Then its just a matter of smashing enough searches into google until you find the answer. So many google searches over trivia weekend.

The best ones are when it a question from some movie from the 50s or something and we find the whole thing on youtube, then there's a mad rush to find the right spot in time.

Or when we kill a netflix CDN instance trying to all stream some crappy old movie

I've probably lead us astray on more questions than I was the first one to solve

Please ask more questions on sports

This is always a ton of fun and the people that spend all year getting the goon team ready have stared into the abyss for too long but i'm not complaining.

Until we have a basement full of decades of old magazines, I'm gonna say we're keeping the spirit since 99% if the team just rolls up the day before and helps out

I'm severely tempted to make my own from scratch this year

Do you think a pizza base would work or should it be a breadier dough?

Congrats everyone. I've been doing Trivia on and off since year 2, but the last couple years I've had other obligations and hadn't been able to spend much time. This year my weekend was totally free and I did nothing but sleep and Trivia from Friday night through Sunday midnight.

I did a lot of searching and posted a lot of links where someone had just posted it 10 seconds earlier or perhaps 2 seconds after me. But that's OK, it's part of the scramble. I led us down the wrong path a couple times but that's OK too, because sometimes there are more than one likely answer and it's good to have alternatives thrown into the mix just in case it's one of those misleading questions like stubblyhead just mentioned.

Even if I didn't personally lead us to a big correct answer even once, it was still tons of fun: just the tension, the mad scramble, getting the answer in and then shooting the poo poo for the next seven minutes is enjoyable and cool. We have a few really intense participants but even with them, it's because they're enthusiastic and committed and that's an infectious atmosphere that takes hold of people and keeps them motivated.

I think for next year it's time we got off the public IRC channel. Using synirc does make it easier for people to join, but the degree to which we are being paranoid about spais (perhaps justifiably) is becoming a little oppressive. If we could vet people before they can even join our chat, then there wouldn't be a need for things like keeping the photo answers hidden in the secret elite members only club, which is decidedly Not Fun. With our own private chat area we can probably also implement some more tools and controls to make life easier, too.

Well Goonswarm is falling apart, maybe we could just take over their forums :v:

Personally, I don't think turning #TP into a chat room like TPMusic that also serves as a clearing house for the real discussion of answers is a terrible solution.

I will say that tpot should probably be made invite only
