(Imagine every Kapow! member having one of those of their own character in their sig!)

FtGeno: Good idea. How do you plan on formatting the quiz bowl?
MissLupinthe3rd: Still thinking it over in my brain
MissLupinthe3rd: I know for sure we'll have a week of 'private' status so we can gather questions without anyone looking
MissLupinthe3rd: I think we can advert it by putting a banner in all our sigs
FtGeno: Who can make the banner?
MissLupinthe3rd: I can make a banner
MissLupinthe3rd: I have an idea in mind, even
FtGeno: I'll change my sig to help promote it, but I may ask for my Patsy edit to be added to it. wink
MissLupinthe3rd: It will have an edit in it
MissLupinthe3rd: Truts me, it's a neat idea
MissLupinthe3rd: I figure
MissLupinthe3rd: 3-4 people compete each day in the quiz bowl
MissLupinthe3rd: the top scorer each day advances to the finals
MissLupinthe3rd: Or something lke
FtGeno: Like a Jeopardy tournament?
MissLupinthe3rd: Yeah
FtGeno: Do we have one individual pulling the questions from a pool?
MissLupinthe3rd: I think we will take turns being Alex
FtGeno: Works for me. Set times, or snag the participants as they become available?
MissLupinthe3rd: Probably an evening thing
MissLupinthe3rd: We'll fundraise for a decent nice 'trophy' prize for the winner
MissLupinthe3rd: laurels or something
FtGeno: Oh, and prizes. What do you have in mind for prizes? I'll donate myself for this.
MissLupinthe3rd: Well, I figure a small set of prizes for the daily competitors
MissLupinthe3rd: 2nd prize 500g or something
MissLupinthe3rd: and then everyone who gets first place on their day get gold
MissLupinthe3rd: and then the finalists, the runners up I'll give letters to
FtGeno: You mentioned something of an honorary membership?
MissLupinthe3rd: Yeah
MissLupinthe3rd: The win-winner would get an honorary membership
FtGeno: You still can't access the guild funds, can you?
MissLupinthe3rd: Nope.
FtGeno: Then I'll send it to you directly.
MissLupinthe3rd: Let's get it all planned out first
FtGeno: Yeah. I think the number or participants would be a good place to start.
MissLupinthe3rd: I'll start an idea thread in a bit and show this convo
FtGeno: Ok, that sounds good. While you're doing that I'll go ahead and tweak the Cyberdome wrestlemania.








So, that's the early, early idea. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?!

I should add, the quiz bowl is kinda in two phases. The first phase for Kapow! members, is the gathering of questions and the organizing of trivia we hope can stump people with. The second part is when we go public and invite in people interested in competing. That's right, the actual Quiz Bowl is for non-Kapow members, but it will be OUR contest hosted by us for all of Gaia.

Are there going to be different topics for the questions like in Jeopardy. For example : Silver Age, Costumes, It's not easy being ' Green' ( all the answers have the word green in them), Writers.. etc?
PostPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 5:47 pm


Yeah! That's a great idea!

And 'potpourri.' Don't forget 'potpourri.' domokun

How is "buzzing in" going to work? If it's just whoever posts first, that could be unfairly advantageous to folks with faster connections. Maybe each person could pick a question, try to answer, and if they're wrong, the other two could try to "steal?"

Oh you damn Gaia, eating my post....



Yes, we'll have to have each person get an individual question, and then have it 'passed' if they get it wrong. We'll also need some sort of time limit (maybe 5 mins from when the question is posted) to prevent excess googling.
PostPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 5:53 pm


Heh, steal. Yeah I'm also wondering how that will work. Maybe at the beggining we have a lottery to see who gets the first question. They pick and if they don't answer it goes to the next person. If they miss it, the next and stack a limit like three other tries or two. Then we just go down the order asking questions.

' Ex-girlfriends'.. ' Likes and dislikes'.. ' In the beginning'..' When we were young'..
Also there should be a time limit.. otherwise the question should be thrown out. As the competition progesses the questions should get harder.
