Suggestions for PEx Quiz Night

[CaRaMBa]

We've noted all your suggestions in the past re:

• members are quizmasters
• more themed quiz nights
• live quiz night

What prizes are you interested in? Nothing too big because this will be a weekly thing.

What themes are you interested in? We've noted your suggestions in the past as well:

• anime and manga
• awards (Oscars, etc.)
• music
• local showbiz

Please stay on-topic in this thread.

Thank you!

I think it would be a great idea if members could also be designated as quizmasters. If many members are interested, then it would mean more quiz nights. And I believe that even without material prizes, many would be participating.


Regarding themes, would you consider a general quiz format; i.e., questions come in different categories (Science, Math, History, Arts, Culture, Geography, Entertainment, Literature, etc)


One PEx thread that I like so much is ytsuki's "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" under Small Talk. Unfortunately, however, I think only a few know about it.

+1 sa lahat ng nabanggit.

Sana meron ding obscurely themed Quiz Nights. Kunyari, South Park Quiz Night etc.

Actually, itong quiz night kanina, General siya.

I, for example, don't have a prepaid number so I want to suggest gift certificates as prizes. For example, P300 GC at Starbucks/Pepper Lunch/any resto, etc.

I'd love it if there will be Quiz Night dedicated for Music. Let it coincide with the Grammy Awards season!

Oh and I think winner 'yang Live Quiz Night na 'yan. Make it so!

[TeenageDreamer]

^ Ditto ditto ditto.

Because the Grammy is fast approaching, let there be a dedicated Quiz night for the Grammys.

That is not far from happening. forg will make a quiz night for you, instantly. Hahaha.

Talked to him already. He's willing, he just needs to check his schedule.

Arts and Literature Quiz Night please. Hopefully, different pins for themed nights.

Based on forum traffic (which I monitor regularly), parang walang sasali sa Arts and Lit quiz night.

Hindi nga matuloy-tuloy ang PEx Book Club, di maka-decide sa isang libro, anuba!!!

Maganda yung ginawa ni strandedstranger na book challenge

@CaRaMBa
Aside from the topics that were mentioned (anime and manga ), I think it's nice to have din a photo caption contest

di ba puedeng kami lang ni stranded ang sumali (if talagang walang interesado sa arts and literature) para in my entire lifetime, makatikim man lang ako ng second place?

[curiouser]

+1 ako sa Arts and Literature. Pwede ring current events, para may LAFI view, o di kaya religion para may ROT representation?

[hydrangea]

i'm all for the live quiz nights.

with regards to the prizes, i hope walang deadline yung pagkuha, and that the pex offices are open on weekends for those na hindi makuha ang prized nila on a weekday because of work.

also, sana nga may GCs, especially those na postpaid ang numbers.

[gs09]

Geography and mathematics, please. Sana hindi 'yung basta arithmetic lang.

And +1 sa live Quiz Night

[strandedstranger]

Or Team Quiz Nights, where people can form teams of three, where anyone can answer.

Prizes will be distributed equally to winners.

Aren't the Quiz Nights devised to generate activity in certain subforums and not the other way around? If so, then I can't see what's stopping us from having Arts and Literature Quiz Night.

[TeenageDreamer]

^ I agree with your suggestion. Arts and Literature will be a good one. Let's explore our options. It's gonna be a good breather.

That's just one of the objectives. What's "stopping us", is manpower. It takes the same amount of work to prepare for and conduct each Quiz Night, whatever the category, so we need to prioritize the ones for categories/forums with more activity. I know some members have volunteered, and we've said this already - we are considering this, but it will probably mean we will meet with the volunteer quizmasters so they can sign legal waivers. We have yet to meet with our lawyer for this. Unfortunately, for now, we do not have admins, moderators or PEx employees who can be quizmasters.

To make it clear, it's not an outright no. But we can't do it right now.

Thanks.

^No problem, Carambs, consider the Team Quiz Night.

PExers A, B and C - Team 1
PExers D, E and F - Team 2
PExers G, H and I - Team 3

everyone can answer and the first member from any group, say PExer E, then point goes to Team 2.

Submission of teams, at least three days before QN. What do you guys think?
