Perhaps we can discuss an additional segment that can serve those who might not be able to type as fast to level the playing field. No promises, as HCQ is the expert in running trivia- but I definitely can understand the frustration.

Here’s a thought — what if we try it so the first person to respond correctly gets 2 points, and everyone else who responds with a correct answer before I can confirm they’re correct gets 1?

Another option might be making trivia multiple choice and awarding points to anyone who selects the right answer but that’s a lot more work on my part.

Besides: multiple choice is for the WEAK

@AlexanderKnox

I’ll go ahead and create a sample post. I won’t bother turning it into a wiki simply because I’m trying to illustrate a possible format for the posts. The final post would undoubtedly contain many, many more entries than the ones I’ve included here.

I would be down to make this a topic this week if’n you’re into it! Just to make sure, is the hope that the moderation/admin team would be the Keepers of the post, in terms of populating?

Something else that comes to mind: Should the comments be alphabetized? Or will the OP’s index bouncing around the comments be enough?

[ralphsix]

If you’re taking votes, I think that first idea sounds a lot more fun than the second.

@Applejack

it has to emerge organically

Well, secret: In my head, I just call us (in a deep booming voice) Citizens of Applejackland. …?? I prob won’t stop anytime soon. Just sayin’.

@Reaganfan78

About 3 weeks ago, and got a email from them 2 weeks ago.

Send one more follow-up; I know they were having trouble with their e-mail account until end of last week.

@Razzzcat

Not much for cake either unless it’s the cheesecake variety or Tres Leches. Other than that—Keylime, Blueberry, Apple Cream, Pecan. almost forgot lemon ricotta pie

Oooh yeah, now you’re talking!

[HubCityQuestion]

@Applejack

I hear what you’re saying; there’s an unfair advantage to fast typers.

I would argue that it is an advantage, but not an unfair one. Like accurate spelling and reading comprehension skills, it’s part of the game design.

@HubCityQuestion, Sorry for missing today western trivia, busy with family today, Hope Bat Lash got mention. I just love the art design in Bat Lash comics, it was well done in western style.

[Applejack]

@AlexanderKnox

Screencapped and added to the collection.

What if I’ve started planting false information??

[HubCityQuestion]

Bat-Lash made it in there!

[AlexanderKnox]

@Applejack

is the hope that the moderation/admin team would be the Keepers of the post, in terms of populating?

I think this is more suited for the regulars, such as (but not limited to) the Science Council crew.

@Applejack

Should the comments be alphabetized? Or will the OP’s index bouncing around the comments be enough?

The index could be organized alphabetically. The posts themselves might not need to be organized that way. After all, what if we suddenly decide to include Ambush Bug a month from now? Would we have to delete all the other posts so that he could be in the right spot?

@HubCityQuestion

You have my blessing!

Expect on Thursday!

Harruuuummmmm… Ok good to know! I’ll see what ye olde devs think of this matter!

Ebil Applejack? No…

Ah, but that doesn’t take into account that we’re all using different devices. Typing on a tablet may take longer than a laptop, for example.
