Not that I'm complaining about it...but wouldn't it seem more fair to the core audience to post a trivia question after school hours...?

College is great...no class on Tuesday, Thursday OR friday :-p

Beg pardon? I don't understand what you're talking about. (Except for the part about not having classes.)

The thing said all hours. So I'd say it's safe to assume there'll be some while us USA people are in bed.

Well, judging from the response to the first question, competition will be fierce. Don't worry though, there are many more questions. In fact, while I won't tell you exactly how many, I will say that there are more than the total number of cards in the Southern Islands Promo set.

Will there be a ranking list for this contest, or are supposed to not know who is scoring (including our own scores)?

Raikou will never give this game up. He's hooked like the rest of us. <Meganium 45 drinks his cup of coffee and hits F5 on the keyboard, deperately waiting for another question>

It's amazing the number of us that are just "hanging around" today....

Shameless plug #272...Expedition Draft coming up on Saturday October 19th at Dragon King in St. Charles/St. Peters area. Last time was so much fun we'll do it again....

See you on the boards, oof, was that question #3 that just went up?!??!? <Made you look>

You know, I would admit to the bottle of Jagermeister I am currently holding, but that would not sit well with the young'uns on the board.

The coffee was just a reference to a previous post, actually I can't stand the stuff myself (unless you add sugar and chocolate to it - then it's a Frappa , whatever).

Sauron, would be interested to see how your feelings about Copycat v. Research have changed, if at all. I have to admit, I still like research over copycat, but hey, that's just to keep the topic on Pokemon.

WOW !!!

This thing is picking up speed. I turn my back for an hour and there are over a dozen answers. I will try to get a post up tonight with the results of each question, but I can't do that right now, since I'm still at work.

:: Looks over shoulder to make sure the boss isn't watching ::

I will also try to have a daily leader board posted on Saturday and Sunday morning. What I will tell you right now is that it looks like only one person got points on both of the questions that have been asked so far. You not only have to be knowledgable (and the questions will get harder as the weekend progresses), but you have to be quick. The first 5 answers came in within 4 minutes of each other on that last one!!! [Eek!]

:: Tries to think of ways to make the questions harder to find :: [Devilish]

Well, there's the Announcements forum, Legendary Posts and the Worlds forum.

Or maybe you could hack the date to show up a few months in the past...

Although I wonder why I'm making suggestions.
