In order that we might be able to discuss changing up the categories for the trivia quiz, I've compiled a list of all the options we have at our disposal. Perhaps everyone could give some of their preferences. Please keep in mind that categories which have very little questions will start getting repetitive very soon. I generally prefer to avoid those categories. Then again, it might be fun to try one sometime.

These are the options as I have them set currently.

Sunday - General Knowledge 6 - Very Difficult
Monday - FunTrivia Mixed Bag (default)
Tuesday - World Trivia 2 - More Difficult
Wednesday - General Knowledge 3 - Average
Thursday - Geography 2 - Intermediate
Friday - Movies 2 - Intermediate
Saturday - Music 2 - Intermediate

I've just checked the Hall of Fame and I found that we've been playing this quiz since March of 2014. The categories have been the same since the start, so that's why it might be fun for the regulars to change things up. Now that some new people have just started, this seems to be the perfect time to discuss it. Also from the Hall of Fame, I found that @SciphonicStranger has so far won 26 months, @Jim of WVa has so far also won 26 months, @Quetesh has so far won 3 months and I myself, the almight @Lord Ba'al have so far won 4 months, the last one in May of 2017. Obviously, this game is rigged. I call shenanigans!

Anyway, the following are the categories we can pick from, along with the number of questions for each category. Please feel free to discuss.

Now, @SciphonicStranger, I know you're eyeballing those Baseball categories, but I don't think they'd be very suitable for anyone else but you.

how about some history, people and science for next month? please

SCIENCE! Yes, bring on the physics, biology, astronomy, physiology, etc. I suck at historical trivia, celebrity trivia and anything centering around individuals.

Remind me at the end of the month please. I have many things to do and think about in between now and then.

face it, you're just not a people person

 

[Overmind One]

face it, you're just not a people person

Sure I am! I am just not as interested in trivia about people as much as trivia about stuff not involving individual people. That also goes for historical people. The exception to that would be characters in movies (but not necessarily the actors playing the characters).

putting them to bed, one by one... "night, night"

i am sorry, but today's "more difficult" just wasn't

and it had repeats from either last month or the month before

 

[YJ02]

thanks
