Trivia again?
Twiggyish | Friday, April 13, 2001 - 07:41 pm  I really really miss the trivia stuff. We don't need a prize.. (not that I would ever win one..LOL) |
Noslonna | Friday, April 13, 2001 - 09:09 pm  Twiggish... Rollerboy has been working hard on a new trivia type game. There should be an announcement soon about an internet scavenger hunt. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 03:59 pm  This sounds like fun!! You can count me in to play. Hey Rollerboy....how's it going with the guitar? |
Twiggyish | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 07:24 pm  Cool! |
Spamgirl | Saturday, April 14, 2001 - 10:08 pm  Yay rollerboy, hurry up... we need to forget about the crap that's going on |
Rollerboy | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 07:48 am  Spammy, what crap? Schoolmarm, progress on the guitar continues to go well (thanks in part to your help) and I have additional questions for you, if I may submit them. I don't want to abuse the privilege. I'm currently working on, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Rock'n Roll Suicide". Both are moderately to very difficult, to me anyway. |
Schoolmarm | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 11:24 am  Go ahead....email's in the profile in case you misplaced it. |
Flint | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 11:28 am  If I could find a way to run trivia like I used to at another place I wouldn't mind running it. hell i have about 20,000 questions of different types. About the closest way to do it owuld be to run it in mirc, and have people send answer privately. After a minute no more answers would be accepted, and every right answer is a point, person with the most after x number of questions is the winner. that would be a little time consuming though. |
Rollerboy | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 12:08 pm  Nos and I are in the process of getting the rules for the new game finalized Flint. We have agreed that there will be a time limit for e-mailing answers in and 1st,2nd and 3rd correct answers will all get points on a sliding scale (100%, 50%, 25%. We are working on the rest of the details and getting the rest of the questions finished. More later. My e-mail add is in the msge board area. |
Azriel | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 12:14 pm  Wow, that sounds like a cool way to do it, Rollerboy. I look forward to it. I love the trivia games. |
Rollerboy | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 12:27 pm  This is sort of like trivia, but with a twist. I guarantee (as much as possible) that you won't see an answer posted before you can refresh the screen to read the original question. Also, Nos is being modest. We are both working hard to make this fun. |
Twiggyish | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 12:59 pm  Sounds like it is going to be fun. |
Twiggyish | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 01:49 pm  On second thought, I bow out this time. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, April 16, 2001 - 02:01 pm  Going from going to be fun to not going to be fun in less than an hour?? My day to be dense. |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 08:06 am  I think Twiggyish took issue with some of my comments in Guru's throne room Lance. At any rate, it's no longer an issue. Games on the site seem to cause problems, especially for the organizers. If I had wanted to continue to deal with office politics, lying, cheating, stealing, infighting, backstabbing, multiple identities for the same person(s), selective enforcement of rule violations, disparate punishments, depending on the individuals involved, etc. I would never have retired. Most everyone I've met here has been great, but lately the BS has exceeded the fun. Don't take this the wrong way. I really have no personal animosity towards anyone here. It's just that life is too short to bother with pettiness. I know I'm a loud mouthed, cynical, opinionated, know it all, but shrinking violets never got far in my line of work. Also, while I may have seemed harsh and over the top at times, I was never (knowingly) mean spirited. See, you didn't have to analyze me after all, Twiggyish Well, that's it: Rant'n Roll! Rollerboy has left the building. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 03:39 pm  So why did you write that here? You could have emailed me like I asked..because I would have written this to you: I am not mean spirited either. I just think we see things from opposite points of view. You remind me of people I know..and you know what? Those people are good friends of mine. Why? Because I like knowing where they stand. So, if you want to call a truce, I will and extend my hand to you. Also, I emailed Gail today to remove my last posts from earlier, but because the board was down she probably could not get to it. |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, April 17, 2001 - 04:27 pm  Consider my hand extended Twiggyish. |
