If you can look at a shittily-photocopied, grainy, black and white clipping of a piece of crappy art and somehow remember which advertisement in a 1958 magazine it's from, or at the very least, the name of the obscure artist who drew it, that'd be fantastic.

I am very bad at this part but I enjoy it greatly

It's not trivia until we've found the correct answer to a 300 point question 5 seconds after calling in the wrong answer.

It's not trivia until one person has the right answer but 20 other goons have a trap answer so it gets phoned in instead

Trivial Fursuit: Six Sick Sift Shifts

Just imagine when the mushmouth reading the scores says it

'Six sick stick shifts', surely? Anyway, I love it

Hmm, ok?
An old television advert for a car repeatedly lists, in song, the three colors the car is available in. What color is the car explicitly not available in?

Another important aspect is penguins guessing

As a non-American, I'm gonna guess Black

Can we get one or two thread mods like CNN and rawillkill for any leaks into the thread during trivia time ? That way they can be on the ball, edit posts and quoted instances, and the regular mods need not be bothered

Yeah one reason is just that the quiz owns its questions

The other is that one year we lost a place because someone posted a picture and what we had worked out so far 'helpfully' and it led to another team seeing our work, getting the points, and we weren't able to get the answer in the end.

I did report it but it took hours to be taken down, hence my suggestion of temporary trivia mods

I've just been hit with work on Saturday all day but I might be getting Sunday morning off in exchange. It sucks but I'll definitely stop by the Irc when I can.

I wasn't particularly useful this year but enjoyed playing where I could. And I am taking partial credit for the team name!

If you don't want to be called a SPAI then get in irc in the week leading up to the contest. It's not absurd to go through the process of joining a team before a contest starts

nothing to seehere posted:

Also seriously what do people have against mibbit: I've set it up to auto-connect me to my regular channels when opened, auto auth my username, and it keeps all my logs. I've been using it for 5 years now, why should I use a desktop client instead?

I dunno, I only use irc for trivia and mibbit works great every time

Hope next year's theme is classic literature so we can be Trivial Fursuit 7: Dickens' Ciderboyz
