Down Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I'm so bad at this game Dx Well, I only missed one game I played, so I guess it's not that terrible. Musics are definitely more up my alley. I'm still gonna have to grind it to get some more points though.
Mr Poltroon Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Oh god the CG's, I can already imagine. You're going to give us a bunch of generic classrooms with no characters in them right? krill 1
OriginalRen Posted August 29, 2014 Author Posted August 29, 2014 Welcome to Trivia Month's Midweek Madness! A quick reminder to everyone that the 3rd week of the competition is fast approaching and the cutoff for week 2 will be this coming Monday @ 11:59pm CST. That being said, it's time for a little competitive fun. Enter Fuwanovel trivia month's midweek madness special event! Are you falling behind? Do you want a chance to redeem yourself with extra points? Do you want an opportunity to screw over the rest of your opponents? Well now is that time! For 1 week only, it's your turn to ask the questions - you and your team will become the hosts of trivia month and have the chance to dethrone the other players of the competition. Simply put, you and your team will have the opportunity to ask your randomly selected opponent a series of 5 trivia questions. In order to earn points for the midweek event, it is your job to answer the questions an opposing team has created for you. Successfully answer all 5 and you're well on your way up the leaderboard. Sound confusing? Read the details below. The Rules: 1. During the midweek madness event, each team in the competition will go head to head with one another where they will have the opportunity to ask each other a series of 5 questions pertaining to visual novels. These questions must be from an English translated visual novel and must be from Kaguya's list of 50 translated VNs you should read before you die. In addition, every question must pertain to 1 of the themes as listed in the OP of this thread. 2. Teams are allowed to ask their 5 questions in any way they feel fit, however each one must be approved by me before making the final cut. Remember that the questions you make will be asked to the team you are going up against, so try to make them count! 3. For every answer a team gets correct, they will earn 1 point. Solo players who are grouped with a team will also receive 1 point. If a team manages to get all 5 of their questions correct, they will earn an additional 5 points. Listed below are the teams which will be used for this special event, as well as which teams will be pitted against one another. Each match-up was chosen at random. Team 1: Monmon, HMN, Kurisu-Chan, Kynbound vs. Team 2: The Major, maefdomn, Flutterz, Down Team 3: Blue Ember, HolyGRUNT100, Nagisa_Fawkes, hanako vs. Team 4: Zakamutt, krill, Tiagofvarela, GetterEmperor As stated earlier, please note that the solo players of the competition have been paired with a team which was chosen at random. Please Note: This part of the competition will not start until week 2 is finished. Starting tomorrow (Saturday) I will be PMing every member of the teams as listed above, where you are allowed to discuss what kinds of questions you would like to ask to your competitors. Each question must be submitted by Wednesday, September 3rd @ 11:59pm CST and no later. The actual event will start the following day. More details to come. For now, begin thinking of questions to ask, and try to make them count! Good luck with the rest of week 2, and see you all real soon.

OriginalRen Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Midweek Madness is about to begin! The questions have been prepared and the week is about to begin! I will be sending each team their set of 5 questions in a short while, so keep an eye on your PMs. Remember, each answer is only allowed 1 guess, and once an answer is submitted there is no taking it back. If you manage to get all 5 questions correct, you will get an extra 5 points in addition to the points you already earned. Good luck everyone, and godspeed! Reminder: These questions will close on Sunday, September 7th @ 11:59pm CST. The time frame is a little shorter, so best of luck! Also, do your very best to be honest in finding your answers. As usual, I cannot monitor how you choose to cheat should you go down that route.
OriginalRen Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Hey everyone, A small update for those of you following trivia month. Due to personal issues and time management, I am going to extend the deadline for the midweek madness event. Seeing as the event itself was originally supposed to last a week in total, I feel this is a fair choice. The new deadline for these questions is on Thursday (09/11) @ 11:59pm CST. Currently, I am working on the next theme of the competition and it is taking a lot longer than I expected. As such, I need a little more time preparing. Seeing as I have not responded to any of your group's given answers so far, go back and look at the responses you have given me and feel free to change them if you wish. Please note: Because I have extended the deadline, I am allowing for 1 change to the answers you have already given me. That being said, once a 2nd answer is given, I will not accept another. I apologize for the delay, but I hope this will make up for the wait. The next theme will be posted on Thursday, so keep your eyes open!

OriginalRen Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Hey gang, I am going to be gone this weekend from a computer that allows me to work on recording clips for the last week in the visual novel trivia month. Since my new HD doesn't have a lot of installed visual novels that are translated, I am going to need a little more time setting up the final part of the competition. I had planned to work on these tomorrow and have them posted by the evening, however I am leaving a day earlier than expected. Please keep in mind the deadline for week 3 will remain the same, however week 4 will not start until Tuesday the 23rd. I do apologize for this delay, however keep your eyes peeled for a very special surprise, because we aren't done yet. Thanks again, and good luck to everyone. We're almost finished!

OriginalRen Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Hey everyone, So I understand that the trivia month questions have not been posted, and for that reason I am once again sorry. I have been so absorbed in setting up the BOGs competition this past week that I completely neglected continuing this activity. I promise to reprimand this mistake and work on finishing them. If they are not posted by tonight I promise they will be ready to go by Thursday at the latest. Again, I am sorry to all the teams that have participated so far; this isn't like me.
Zakamutt Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Meh, I sympathize with your efforts, so I've been waiting patiently.
OriginalRen Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Questions for the final week of trivia month are created! I am currently at work so I will post them by this evening. Good luck to everyone in the competition. It's the final week so make it count!
