At the beginning of Jeopardy, there was a contest to decide who had the best Halloween name, and the winner would have gotten a lot of Psybucks. Well, just how much was going to be determined, but because the winner was a part of the staff, it wasn't needed. And the winner...

"the_forums" by our local guest administrator. :)

And the winners of both the jeopardy and trivia, DragonPhoenix and Gardevoir~ respectively, received their special name-changes. DragonPhoenix chose KASEY`S FACE, and Gardevoir~ chose ReDead. Congratulations.

As for other secrets that I wanted to include, none of them were actually poked at, so I'll just have to save them for next time. :P

...a tie!? How could a tie in such a heated battle in which the victor reigns over Halloween festivities possibly be resolved? Sudden death poll? Winner takes all? Fight to the death? Or maybe I decided by casting a vote myself....

But that might spark complaints from the losing side. So how did I choose which one? Well, I've never tried a trivia before, so trying something new would be cool. But then again, jeopardy has been really successful and is what I've come up with here. So my vote, just like everyone else's, did indeed count in this tie. One side would have to lose....

Suspense. It can be a redundant but oddly satisfying effect. When the poll started, jeopardy shot off at a lead: 3-0. But trivia caught back up quickly to tie: 3-3. Word spread, and jeopardy regained its lead: 7-4. Trivia, not to be outdone, dared to come back again and even took its first lead: 7-8. But not for long: 8-8. A day later, the tie progressed: 10-10. And then jeopardy got it right back: 11-10, then 12-10. Only a couple days left, and trivia needed more support... and it got some: 12-11. And with a day to spare, tied back up: 12-12. And here we stand, at the peak of the roller coaster poll itching to know which one tiger chose, whether it be trivia or jeopardy...

Scroll down for the answer, but be warned: it may not be what you voted for...

































































Actually, it isn't what you voted for; it's better.












































































Both! If this, for some ironic reason, disappoints you, well isn't that just too bad. :P



When/where?

Trivia: Friday, October 26th at 7:00 PM EST in #psypoketrivia.

Jeopardy: Saturday, October 27th at 7:00 PM EST in #psypokejeopardy.

For details on joining the chats, click here for the java applet and a link for downloading mIRC. To join the respective rooms, type "/join #psypokejeopardy" or "/join #psypoketrivia" (without the quotes obviously).


Rules:

1. Do not argue if you thought that you buzzed in/answered before someone else. Everything is based on what appears on my screen only.

2. Do not PM any ops, especially me. If you have a complaint/question/whatever, wait until a break.

3. Do not use /me or similar.

4. Do not use any reference materials (such as the site).

5. You must identify yourself as your forum name in order to be eligible for a prize.

Jeopardy specific rules:

6. Answers MUST be given in a question format such as "What is Pikachu?". This will be taken loosely, but drastic mixups between "where" and "who" will be called incorrect. (Pokemon are considered as "what"s)

7. Special op/voice rule: try not to talk while someone is answering a question.

8. Tiger != Alex Trebek.


Prizes and some surprises:

Trivia-specific prizes:

Trivia King/Queen rank for non-staff winner.
Psybucks for non-staff winner: 2000
Psybucks for non-staff runner-up: 1000
Psybucks for non-staff third: 500
Psybucks for all others: 25 per point (with half-points rounded up for this)

Jeopardy-specific prizes:

Psybucks for top three non-staff: Equal to points
Psybucks for other people with > 50 points: Equal to half amount of points
Psybucks for yet other people with > -5000 points: 25
Psybucks for leftover people with <= -5000 points: 1 (for effort)

Prizes for both:

The respective trainer card ribbons for top three total and other participants.
Voice (+v) in #psypoke for the top two non-staff lasting one week.

Surprises:

Jeopardy sports a bunch of new scripts for efficiency and quickness.

Trivia will include the Jumble Jam.

Halloween is the time to be creative, and it's time for mods to share a tiny bit of fun with the members. As mentioned by the previous incarnation of this post, people will be able to use a Halloween-style name in each event. You will need to identify yourself when you get there. You can use a different name for either event, so be creative, and it just may pay off. :wink:

And stemming from that, the non-staff winners for each event (or winner if one wins both) will be allowed a free temporary Halloween name change to whatever they chose.

Finally, there are a few special "spot prizes" that just may be in store for attendants at both times. One thing is very blatantly hinted at, but another couple might lurk out. Be prepared and have fun.


Questions:

Are the questions Pokemon-related?
Yes, but there may be a couple unique questions.

Will freezing be in effect?
In trivia yes, but not in jeopardy.

Does only "buzz" work for buzzing in? (Jeopardy only)
Yes, so you better type it out first and wait for -m to press enter. Even missing a "z" or using colors would cause the script to skip over you.

What happens to rule-breakers?
Something very very bad. :O

Why can't I talk when I get in there?
This would be supposing that you're late and +m is set. This usually means that it is between questions.

What are the commands that will be in Jeopardy?
!chart (between questions) and !stop (during an answer) will be in effect. This time, I'm planning a special system that chooses the question when the chooser says "!q category amount" and details will be given at the time. As for myself, I have roughly thirty other scripts that I need to implement.

How will typos be dealt with?
If they are understandable, they will be acceptable. Example "pI9oqjjy" will not be accepted for "Pikachu" whereas "Oikakchu" would be fine (and amusing).

Why should I go?
Because it's something really fun and worthwhile. Even though it may not be hosted by an Elite or Lite, it's still a community event for fun. (And because I said so :P)

That, and the ability to type fast doesn't matter. You just have to think fast. So, Jeapordy gets my vote.

Definetely jeopardy. No need for typing fast, but, as Ghost Writer said, you just need to think fast.

I voted for 'Trivia', simply because I didn't really understand the 'Jeopardy' rules.

maybe trivia with a 3-2-1 scoring system, with the fastest three getting the points?

The Trivia Wrap Up doesn't reflect that you got any points in Trivia.

In any case, please post in the News thread regarding TC matters. Don't send me PMs, nor reply to the TC PM sent to you. Such PMs clog up my PM inbox quickly and it's annoying.
