PT PT Trivia Round VII - Rules and Signups - SIGNUPS NOW CLOSED

Hello, JCF, and welcome to the pre-thread for the next round of PT Trivia, hosted by yours truly!



I figured due to the holiday season and imminent release of TFA accompanied by doubtless nuclear fandom explosion, I'd begin the next round mid-January. So just in the wake of the storm, I'll begin signups! This post is dedicated to rules and explanation of the game. The next is a well deserved song of praise for our previous champions, and the third post will provide the list for signup.

I'll be honest - last time, I preeeetty much copy-pasted the rules from a previous game and slightly modified them. Then as the game went on, some new ideas came to mind, and the whole thing ended up a tad clumsy in the middle. However! This time, it'll be consistent. 99% sure. So without further ado;


FORMAT:

There will be three Phases composed of 5 questions each. Answer deadlines alternate between Sunday and Wednesday. Officially, it's at 5 PM EDT. But the real deadline is whenever I get around to it at or after that time, though I'll definitely get the answers and points up by that evening. If you haven't sent an answer by 24 hours before the official deadline, I'll send you a PM to remind you.

Phase I: Questions 1-5: Basic questions. 1 point for each correct answer, 0 points for an incorrect answer or no answer at all.

Phase II: Questions 6-10: Two part questions. You can gain 2 points total. Each question is composed of two parts. Getting both right will net you 2 points; one right will warrant you 1.
e.g. "What is Anakin's last name and what colour is his lightsaber?"
The correct answer for the full 2 points would be "Skywalker and blue".

Phase III: Questions 11-15: Gambling questions. You will wager 1-3 points per question. Get it right, you win those points. Get it wrong - you lose them. If you do not tell me how many points you wish to gamble, I will assume 1.


After this, the one with the most points will be declared the winner!


HOW TO ANSWER:
The question will be posted in this thread. You will send me a PM with your answer. Do NOT post it in this thread - if you do, a new question will be made and the current one will become invalid. Feel free to post "answer sent" or any variation thereof in this thread once you've done so. Not mandatory, but it makes it easier for me. Also - do try to keep all answers in one PM to me.
Note: if you feel the need to contest what I give as the correct answer, you're free to do so and we'll talk it over. If we can't come to a definite conclusion, I'll confer with heels1785 and whatever we come to will be the final decision.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE:

Obviously, questions will be about Episodes I-III; The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. Knowledge of EU/Legends of the PT era will not be necessary. Questions may refer to trivia from the films themselves or various behind the scenes materials (cast/crew interviews, production facts, scripts, etc.)


OTHER RULES:

In addition to what is listed above;
Stick to all forum rules as you would anywhere else.
Use what resources you have to your disposal! Pop in your discs, pick up your books, whatever!
Oh, and as this is over the internet - I obviously won't know what else you use. Feel free to Google or look things up on the Wook.
Despite last time's experience - rules may still change at any time. Again though, much less likely this time around.

Enjoy!

Wanna play? Copy-paste this list and add on your name!

The game starts probably mid-January. If we don't have 10 players by then, I might push it forward a little. Oh, and if the 10 player cap is reached - go ahead and add an 11, 12, etc. The more the merrier!

I love trivia. I love the Jedi Council Forums.

 

Seagoat This post may be out of context here, but congrats for being our moderator on the PT forum!

 

Heh, thanks! There is a thread for welcoming me as mod though though, just so you know

 

Ah, right! I've just noticed the other thread welcoming you as a mod. Either way, I'm glad that we are now having a new mod for the PT forum.

Question. I still don't know how to PM (private message?). Is it the start a conversation thing?

 

@darkspine10 I'll let everyone know. Exact date is undecided currently, but I'll give plenty of time in advance

CIS Droid click on someone's av. There should be an option for a PM on the box that pops up
Feel free to go ahead and send me a test PM if you'd like

I'd definitely do better on PT trivia than I would on OT so it's worth a shot!

I think I'll sit this one out. But I will watch its progress with great interest.

 

Oh ya! Thank god!

Well here is to not being eliminated the first time.
