While it is more like an online scavenger hunt than a pub quiz, we honestly don't know how much the format or question style will be changing this year as there is a new person in charge. And sometimes you DO just know something, which is the very best feeling.

A lot of questions are about stuff we get too like movies and music and stuff, it's not all baseball and congress, so we can help too and our team having people from different time zones being awake at different times is a huge deal for our team so eurogoons are good!

 Shirt orders close on Wednesday! Submit those orders! https://forms.gle/UqaUhymtneL6GHe3A Reminder, through this form you can order the team design (kitten crossbones), the alt design (skeletal goatse), or a sticker of the alt design. Idk yet if we'll have enough orders for goatse to actually get printed but I'll deliver the final news on Wednesday. ALSO I WILL ORDER A COUPLE OF EXTRA SHIRTS BECAUSE EVERY YEAR ONE OF YOU FORGETS TO BUY A SHIRT AND THEN I FEEL BAD but I'm only doing a couple and only a couple of sizes so there's no guarantee I can cover you if you don't order now. If you can't pay in the next few weeks I don't give a gently caress, we'll work it out.

Been doing trivia since the second goon year, always a great weekend where the kids know to leave me the hell alone and let dad do his dumb internet thing. Also, work seems to make a big deal out of it when I take time off, always asking "Is it a trivia thing?". They get a kick out of it when I ask them decade old questions and their eyes glaze over. TRIVIA UP GOONS. 45 DAYS AWAY. HOIST THE MAINSAIL AND DROP TROU.

I've been meaning to hop on this with yall for years. I'm generally very good at trivia generally, and the only person to beat me in a bar for "name that tune" was literal matt pinfield. I'll do the second post bit this weekend.

It's not good or bad per se, but there's also a whole lot of "know the writer, not the trivia" going on - moreso than any other trivia competition I've been part of.

There are multiple segments of music identification from small snippets, though! Some are really tough so any expertise there is absolutely welcome. If you need any help with IRC or anything, holler!

Hell yeah trivia! I'm there for all the foams, Portesi and log cabin banking! For everyone who has never joined, go join! In the 4 or 5 times I've played I literally had an answer first once, and I still have a blast every year!

I did this, I think it might have actually been the first time in 2011, and tapped out after like two hours. But I'm feeling like I want to join up again!

It's its own beast, yeah. I guess I can put up a couple questions, they're not official but I'd say these are a little above average difficulty for the contest. quote:As a hidden camera captures an actual dungeons and dragons session a wizard claims he cast a spell but the dungeon master disagrees, is surrounded by ogres, complete name of the spell that the wizard claimed to have cast? You're not expected to know them off the top of your head, we have about 5-6 minutes per question to come up with an answer. Open book, open internet, open everything.

This phenomenal post by Athanatos from year three hasn't been posted yetAthanatos posted:*A Trivia Question Timeline* Edit: In case you're unsure about if this is great or not, I'm legit still pissed at my best friend for getting married during Trivia three years ago, despite getting to go on a helicopter up a beautiful mountain and drinking for free for three days straight.

Okay folks, it's  time!To give some extra motivation, I'm giving goons a chance of a lifetime to fulfill their wildest fantasy: inflict physical pain on a moderator. If we take first place this year, I will get a tattoo of the alternate shirt art. Yes, the goatse one. I have never got a tattoo in my life, mostly because I'm an indecisive idiot, so yeah, no idea how I'd react.
