Dread Pirate Heather Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 This is amazing!! I absolutely love trivia, but unfortunately I love sleep more - this happens at 4AM in my time zone :( If anyone from Europe / Africa / Middle East is down for some time-zone appropriate trivia, count me in!

Loren Wade Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 If we can get more people who want a secondary time zone appropriate trivia going, we can definitely schedule it. We just need to make sure it doesn't cross over any current NF Trivia plans. In fact, Mars, what do you think about making a google calendar for this? We need to make sure we know who is doing when. 1 Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

I think this is a great idea, not only for people in different times zones but also for people who may not be able to make it on Sunday nights.

Loren Wade Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tips for Playing Trivia by Loren WadeUse a dedicated IRC Client.​Like NF Chat (which is embeded webchat), or Kiwi.An actual program like mIRC for Windows or Colloquy for mac.Do not use a bouncer.This includes IRC Cloud.Why not? Because it will take longer for your message to reach the host's windowGuess a lot.As the rules stand there are no penalties for guessing.As such, I have won a question (after the topic was announced) before the question was asked. TURKEY!Use google.When google is allowed, take that whole damn question and google it as fast as you can. Most of the time, the first result is your answer.If google is not allowed, obviously don't do this.#NFtrivia now has a dedicated bot thanks to NordicBots (^Gandalf^).He has functions we can use like NF chat... and a few others that could prove useful to use. I'll roll these out as they become necessary.He will log all messages in chat and all statistics. Just ask "logs?" or "stats?" and it will provide you the links.

Be sure to post the link once the google calendar is up and running! Yay!! This makes me very happy. Whatever help is needed to make this a reality, let me know. In the meantime I will keep an eye out for the Google Calendar.

MarsRover Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hey nerds! I have a job interview on Tuesday that I need to prep for this weekend. Can someone take over my trivia duties for this week? I know it's short notice! Quote Link to comment

childofscorn Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Anyone have a problem with getting rid of the spelling rule? I know that there have been several times that I've gotten an answer right bc the person who answered before me spelled it wrong. Can we get a vote on getting rid of it? Or marking with the category on a question by question basis "correct spelling required"?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."

Loren Wade Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Since CoS was doing it so we wouldn't miss a week (she's not really into doing it tomorrow), I've decided to take the responsibility. I'll have all morning to work on questions. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Teneris Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 This is incredibly embarrassing, especially on short notice, but I'm looking for someone to cover trivia tonight. Stuff came up and I'm going to be out later than expected and I won't be around to host. Quote Link to comment
