Thank you to Non Sequitur for submitting trivia questions. I don't see any of you bums helping out. I'll post what I wrote in the Google Group for you lazy vagrants.
1) Questions must be written out in a coherent manner. And don't try
sending me gibberish, because I can use the bot to deduct points. Yes.
You will be punished for acting like an idiot.
2) Don't make questions too obvious. Not all questions have to be
impossible, but please. No, "Who is the main character of The Way?" We
all know the answer. Don't belittle our intelligence. (It's Rhue
right?)
3) Questions do not have to pertain to things in the actual gameplay.
If you ask perhaps, "What's the name of the secret map in Episode 5",
that's fine. Just don't have a question about what the name of the
switch was that indicated you had taken such and such an item. Not
everyone has delved that deeply into the code. I doubt even Lun would
remember something like that.
4) Questions do not have to pertain to the game itself. Yes, 90% do.
But if you slip in a few like, "Who said 'stop]'?" then we won't blame
you for it.
5) Try to keep answers down to one word. Yes, it can be more, but the
more words you use the harder it is. I'll go through these myself
obviously, just don't send in the masses you collect while you were
still hyped up on caffeine after that all nighter without checking them
over after you've gotten some sleep. I really don't want to go through
deleting "the" from the start of three hundred questions.
6) Be creative. Look at the entire screen. A good question might be,
"How many Guided were on the screen when (Sacrifa's love interest girl
whoever) was killed?" I don't know the answer to that, so if you want
to check it and send it in that would be fine.
7) Don't be too creative. Asking the number of bookcases in the entire
first episode is not fun. No one will have a clue.
Get to work you lousy bums!
Also, we'll probably end up deciding on the day of the party, but just
quick here... During the iSketch portion, what topic should we have?
Get onto the Create a Room bit, look under the advanced tab and put
down what you'd like. They have a bunch of topics, and we may want to
change at one point, so don't choose just one. Three should be good.
