The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Good luck to all the participants!

What you ought to do is put someone in a random spot this way they won't know who they're playing when they say "I'll play." ;)

It sounds like fun, but to be honest I'm not really sure if I got the rules. What am I to do?

The object is to get more points than your opponent. Questions have point values ranging from 100 to 1000. People are seeded based on a first come first seed basis. So you're #2 Malte and you'll play the seventh person who joins the game.
Have I explained the rules well enough?

Where are the questions? And who decides their value? A question may seem like a 100 point question to you but like a 1000 point question to me and vice versa.

OK! I'll play but I dont like the categories though!  :( Dont really do books, history OR politics so I might be a bit of a flop at this. But hey! I'll give it a shot!

I'm not sure they'll be enough peeps to do this.....we don't even have ten regulars.  :unsure:

6 players is all we'll need. The top 2 seeds will get byes, and the other 4 will play in the first round. Since we only have a few regulars, It is only natural to decrease the number of peoople competing. BTW, Malte, when you pick a catergory, you also pick the point value for the question I will ask.

Arvens, could you possibly send out an email to everyone about the trivia tournament? Those who have already entered can ignore the message.
