Wanna Play a Trivia Tournament?

(xposted in Cafe Society, crossing my fingers that this is “legal”, but I mostly hang out here & wanted to mention it to posters in this forum)

My girlfriends and I have been really enjoying our trivia tournament on www.funtrivia.com, and it occurred to me that Dopers would probably enjoy this as well!

So I set up a tournament with the incredibly witty title SDMB Trivia (those marketing gurus will be beating my door down any day now!).

It’s free to join & free to play (they just have those annoying google ads) & none of my girlfriends have been getting any spam from it. Seems to be work-safe, family-friendly, and sanitized for your protection.

It’s possible to focus on specific trivia topics, but I think it would be more fair to everyone to stick with the “Daily Mixed Bag”.

Have at!

700 points to open it up. I should mention to future competitors that the quiz is timed.

6/10, total of 482 points. I disappoint myself.

7/10, 625 points

It’ll take 62 more’n that (which I firmly expect anyone to get) to claim first now.

I am the greatest of all time!
Damn you, name of the son of the prime minister of Ireland.

Woo-hoo, I didn’t get the lowest score!

Almost did, though. Stupid sports. Stupid movies I’ve never seen.

As a public service, I’m in last place.

I knew the answer to three of them, and got those all right – for the other 7, I guessed “A” (why not?) which turned out to be right exactly once (I guess that’s why not).

Just FYI, the standings reset each month.

Game desperately needs a better title, I know you guys can think of something clever…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I slide into second place!

I missed the Evolution one. Haven’t seen the movie.

Oh yeah, one other detail I should mention ---- once you hit “Play Now”, the clock is ticking no matter what. You can log off, sign off, throw your computer out the window - clock’s still counting.

stupid songs/lyrics/albums by performers I’ve never heard of.

  1. But it seems I got different questions than youse guys.

You are the best…around! Nothing’s ever gonna take you down…you arrrrre the best…aroooouuuund!

This is where my adoring public throws money (in bill form. Metal hurts.) at me and writes epic poems in my honor.
…or I get stomped for my excessive hubris.
Damn you, miserable Mistress Time.

Bah.

Pass the fork. Gimme more crow.
I am no longer first.

This is where I hate you for making me want to watch The Karate Kid.

Love me.

Okay, people, I’m ready to kick some butt today!!

My girlfriends’ tournament is using Dora questions today, so this tournament is my only chance at a decent score.

Eight right and I’m still in last place. Sigh.

It’s okay, the questions about Jesus always get me. :slight_smile: If it wasn’t in the musical, I’m lost.
