It was Budapest. But hey, all those cities on the Danube look alike, right? ;)

[Ferrus]

It's 5pm ET, I think... eh depends on whether the clocks have moved there too.

As for all the whinging from ex-colonists, well it's not my fault you don't live near the prime meridian.

[aelan]

which city are you in Hermione? you can rep me with it if you're not comfortable having it known. I'll look it up for you.

:mad: I swear, its a conspiracy to stop me from accumulating casino cash.

Excellent.

[LastRailway]

What day of the week is this?

[C.J.Woolf]

What day of the week is this?
Friday.

[Randall]

Hooray! I think I can make that time work.

[bluebell]

Will be on the 25th September from 10 pm GMT.

Ah, phooey. That's 8am on a Friday for me. I will be at work.

You couldn't change that to the 26th September? It's a tad biased against those of us in the Asia-Pacific region.

nm, I r a idiot. It's 8am Saturday. I'll be there! Sleep permitting.

[Ferrus]

I've got it all ready. Unfortunately, the pictures are hosted at imageshack so may be slow, could a Mod allow me to attach 20 pictures to a post?

[MacGuffin]

As attachments?

Just use the [img] tag. Imageshack isn't going to be that slow.

[Ferrus]

Fair enough. Just hope it doesn't time out.

[C.J.Woolf]

What I did was upload the pics to INTPc. (The "Image Upload" link is at the top of the page.) The upload tool generates an [ img ] tag for you to copy and paste into the post. I wrote my quiz questions post as a text file initially, so I put the tags there. Then I could copy from the text file and paste into the actual post at game time.

[Ferrus]

Ah cheers... for all my time here I never noticed that.

[LastRailway]

Why don't you start a bit earlier?

(/bored, /selfish)

[Ferrus]

Ah, well we have to wait for our geographically challenged friends.

Ferrus stayed up until 0400(?) local time to win the last contest. It made the victory that much sweeter, I imagine.

[Ferrus]

0500 actually. Last man standing...

[LastRailway]

Ah, well we have to wait for our geographically challenged friends.

Oh well.

Ah, ok, cause I'm really doing it only for the sweetness of the victory, it's my sole motive.

[Ferrus]

Ah, ok, cause I'm really doing it only for the sweetness of the victory, it's my sole motive.We all have our own motives. I personally just do it to show off. The history questions I can normally get without googfuing, which is an ego booster to me.

Google is my only saviour in this game, but then I pretend I knew the answer anyway, so it's more like an ego booster substitute to me.

You look like a vulture ready to scavange on my questions. :no:

Good job I tried to make the questions as google-proof (with respect to easy findings) as possible. At least on the whole. :devil:

Google is omniscient.

And, out of curiosity, how many questions? And how much $CC per question? (not that I really care about the later, just, well, asking).

[Gameroom cash: $600]

Ka-CHING! :grin:

[Ferrus]

50. And I don't know about CC... ask a mod. $500 is normal right? So it'll probably be that.

[C.J.Woolf]

You get to hand out $25,000 CC total.

Ka-CHING! :grin:

Oh, look, I hadn't looked at my casino cash for years, I'd totally forgotten about it! (/shameless lying)

Good! So I'll have the chance to test how google-proof are your questions!

[Ferrus]

Haha indeed you will. Indeed you will.

Seven minutes by my watch.

[LastRailway]

Ah, then you're on GMT+1:00 time (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/).

[Ferrus]

Oh. Well in the pursuit of honesty, we shall delay it for an hour. Damn daylight saving... grumble, grumble.

[LastRailway]

Ok, now, I didn't mean that, like, at all.

1 minute left! Stick to the original plan.

No, there aren't enough people around yet. A gentleman says what he means and means what he says - you know.

[Randall]

Damn honesty, always gettin' in between me and trivia.... very well

*powers down Google*

[LastRailway]

No, there aren't enough people around yet.

If it weren't for me, this gentleman wouldn't have said what he meant, neither meant what he said.

Gdamnit!

Haha, at least you have been taught a valuable lesson in silence.

[LastRailway]

13 minutes left.

[Ferrus]

Quite so.

[C.J.Woolf]

13 minutes left.
Where were you when I ran the contest last month? I like enthusiastic players.








They're more fun to tease.

[Ferrus]

Prepare yourselves.

[LastRailway]

I'm kinda ready. Not that I've been waiting for more than one hour.
