Topic: IC Trivia!

So BlackJack, though still a work in progress, was a success.  Much thanks to everybody involved.

Next up - IC Trivia!  Now here's where I could use your help if anybody is interested.  Aside from the regular sports, movies, etc, I'm compiling my own list of IC-specific questions and answers.  Stuff as general as "Who was the first mod to be fired?" and as specific as "In what round was there controversy surrounding jang0's use of vacation mode?"

But I can only contribute so much.  If you guys have your own little tidbits of knowledge, I'd love to include them.  If I can gather sufficient data, I'd even like to categorize trivia into ic-related categories like wars, ic-staff, famous exploits, etc etc.

If you'd like to contribute, you can email me a txt file at [email protected] (follow sample format below for extra brownie points).

Much thanks!  Also, the bot isn't in production yet, but you can see the dev version in #trivia-dev on irc.imperialconflict.com

Sample format:

-
  question: what is 1 + 1?
  answers:
    - 2
    - two
-
  question: blah?
  answers:
    - answer
    - different but also acceptable answer

Got a few bucks?  The Imperial Tip Jar is accepting contributions!

Re: IC Trivia!

perhaps a question on whom are the regular 'general' forum posters,
another question on 'whom are the regular politics' forum posters
etc

questions about the different galaxies there have been, and changes in them and specialties

and perhaps one of memorable avvies (such as mizzle's boobies avater, or eltara's avy which still hasn't changed? ...)

whom would block you for naughty fampics -> Nolio

and about the forum that got hacked (year? the youtube link to rick astley's rickrolled)

Read the first post again.

Anyhoo, good stuff Pie!

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

Re: IC Trivia!

There can be any amount of answers, the sample was just an example.  And I'd like to do regular trivia too, but like the idea of mixing it up.

I would like an easier way for people to help though.  I realize emailing me a txt file is clumsy and unfulfilling.  Maybe I can hack up some kind of way for people to talk to the bot and add questions that way that I can go through and approve for in-game use.  I'll figure something out.

In any case, glad to see there is some interest!

Re: IC Trivia!

I had a bunch of IC related questions when I ran my trivia bot years ago. Probably still have them on my old computer at my parents house. Will be back there on the weekend of the 23rd so can have a look then!
