Extra Trivia - Feb 16-18 Have you, for some hosed up and inane reason, thought to yourself "54 hours of trivia? Nah, I need more." Well, a few of us have signed up to play in a different contest (with sorta similar rules to the April one). We've only been doing it for a couple of years, but it's a crapton of fun. Key things about this contest:
Come hang out next weekend and play some trivia.

You might be better at it than you know. Every year there's first timers who don't think they'll help at all, then they shock themselves and sometimes pull in hundreds of points all on their own. BUT there's many other things you can do besides find answers. Like, I've been doing this for long enough that I can probably come up with a good amount of answers on time (I hope, but I might just be coping). But there's 100 other people in the channel who are a LOT better at it than me, so I mostly do other stuff. It's mentioned a little in the OP, but a few things you can do are: transcribing questions, identifying music snippets, verifying answers (this is big, we get a LOT of stuff coming in and we need people to check if they're promising or not), or calling answers in. There's quite a bit more than that too, you'd be surprised. Drunk Badger posted:For example, come join me on the phones so I'm not spending 24 hours of my weekend talking to people!

Some Guy TT posted:Who should I contact about trying to be a part of the on the ground team? How big is it usually, and where do they stay? I might actually be able to come up to Stevens Point this year (I've only ever done the IRC chat in the past), but I need a bit more information than can be reasonably expected from a public OP to figure out how feasible this is. Hey, we do a fairly big airbnb on Main Street. We're actually a bit light on regulars this year, so we should have room (I think). PM totalnewbie (here or on discord, same name), he's in charge of logistics so he'd know for sure.

Propaganda Machine posted:That is something I can do! I'm sure I'll have some scheduling restrictions but we can work out something tentative, maybe split third shifts and beyond that Saturday daytime would probably be my easiest contribution. He was talking about the contest from last weekend, where we only had 3 people calling stuff in for the entire 50 hours. For April we'll have a signup sheet.

Small discord leak: someone was closing their house during trivia and got the buyers to reschedule the date to a week later. So...what's YOUR excuse?

Official merch is up. They still aren't shipping, so if you order anything and are out of town, I'll pick it up and get it to you (once I get up there). Just DM me.

Nobody's denying that discord has its uses. It's our primary way of staying in contact through the rest of the year. But it's not for trivia. The biggest reason imo is all our stuff is built to be used in IRC. To reiterate ra, porting all of it would take a ton of work, more than the people who work on it need or want to spend on it. All of the reasons are very valid though.

Speaking of phone team, we hit (I think) a new record of 91 calls for one question. Plus we kept the no double call streak alive! We had a BUSY phonebank this time around.
