Hello,

Quizmaster here. I intend - administrators willing to have a little section were i will (ego allowing) permit certain questioning of quiz rules and rulings from the previous year and for the 07 season.

I will follow this post up with others in the near future, however the pub beckons

Regards

Quiz Head Honcho

Here, as promised, are the simple rules for the pub quiz, to be used in the 2007 season

1. Cheating is allowed
(This rule was intorduced to make the game more fair for those who were more interllectually challenged. It also adds to the quiz masters amusment as those people who take a quiz seriously express their outrage at such cheek)

1a. Anyone caught cheating will have some substantial number of points or penalties added to their overall score. (if you are going to cheat, be good at it. penalties will be decided under the concept of mob rule)

2. Team names. The quizmaster will defien the weekes team names. (the history of this rule is through said quizmaster becoming sick of teams named after the Roman wall 'witty' play on words, small villages or anything of a roman nature.)

2a there is a sub game involving team names which will be explained on the night. In essence choose a dull name from the list and you will loose points)

3. The quizmaster is always correct. in the unlikely event of the quizmaster getting answers and question wrong, the quizmaster is always correct. (this has implications for those people who take a quiz far too seriously)

4. The Prizes are Rubbish - not a rule as such but an important point is that first prise is always worse than second prize. You are not playing to win, but to have fun. Again another rule introdued to combat that quiz seriousness disease that keeps reoccuring.

5. Joining in and having fun is very rewarding. letting the quiz master believe he is funny can also add benefical points to your scores.

6. Tiebreaks will be decided by the traditional bananna stand off

Please don't turn up if you want to win
Please don't turn up if you take these things very seriously
Please don't turn up if you are more funny than the quizmaster (real or imagined)
Flattery and Bribary will get you a long long way.

I Hope this helps
Quizmaster

I am very happy to report that there will be a new years eve (abridged version) quiz, open to the digging world - on the understanding that you are in fancy dress.

Hosted by myself, to the usual 'rules'.

for those wanting to take part, this years fancy dress theme is .... wait for it... Pirates :ph43r:

Quizmaster

For the love of all this is good and dear, post pictures!

Though if Pete happens to come dressed as a, errr, slightly effeminate pirate akin to last year's get-up, feel free -never- to post that.

I would love to, however the ability to take pictures during a new year party requires the following:

The ability to rememebr a camera
The ability to remember how to use a camera
The ability to remember to take a picture (or two)
Ownership of a digital camera
The required will power to post a picture

so er......watch this space
