HMC Event (open for non-members as well) 8th of June

For this Sunday's HMC event (20:00 GMT at Dimond's as usual), we invite you to play a tmw version of the classical Trivial Pursuit game. This will of course be a simplified version, but just as in the board game, you get a cake when you have "mastered" a subject by answering a question in that subject correctly, and the winner is the team that first has all the different cakes (that is, has mastered all the subjects). If you are not confident about your general knowledge, just bookmark Wikipedia and don't run tmw in full-screen mode. ;)

Geography (G) - Cake
Entertainment (E) - Cherry cake
History (H) - X-mas cake
Arts & literature (AL) - Gingerbread man
Nature & science (NS) - Chocolate bar
Sports & leisure (SL) - Orange cupcake

There can only be six teams - blue, pink, yellow, brown, green and orange. The first person to sign up will be the captain of team blue, the second to sign up will be the captain of team pink, and so on. Then when all teams have a captain, the seventh person to sign up will be the deputy of team blue, the next one the deputy of team pink, and so forth.

Sign up in this thread (preferably), by email (theholymanaclan@gmail.com) or talk to Vink. If you sign up or show up after the event has started, you can not win first or second prize (only third or comfort) even if your team does, so please sign up and show up in good time.

We will give a question to one team at a time, in the subject of the team's choice. If the team fails to respond within 60 seconds, or if their answer is not correct, the question will be open for all teams (including the team that the question was first given to). Each team will only get one cake per subject.

Prizes:
1. Each team member may choose a semi-rare or slightly rare item from the donation inventories (captain chooses first, then deputy, and so on).
2. Each team member may choose a semi-rare hat or slightly rare item from the donation inventories.
3. Each team member may choose a dark crystal or empty bottle, or 10 snake skins.
Comfort prizes: 5 snake skins for each team member.

I'll play if awake in time.

Not that it seems a problem but what is the team size limit?

maddog, all the teams had captains already. I hope you are not unhappy with being first deputy of team blue. If the captain isn't there, you will act as captain instead.

This is what the teams look like (if I've confused your names, please tell me what your name in the game will be) at the moment, but I'm hoping that more people will sign up, of course.

Blue: Dimond (captain), maddog (1st deputy)
Pink: nem0s (captain), Booty (1st deputy)
Yellow: KeeKeeKat/Patricia (captain), Scraggy (1st deputy)
Brown: sugarcorgit (captain), Paprika (1st deputy)
Green: DoomDragoon (captain)
Orange: Dawn (captain)

No, there is no limit on team size. If 30 people sign up, there will be five members in each team. One of the reasons for arranging the teams like this is to keep the team sizes balanced.

Shaili, you're the first deputy of team green. I hope that's OK. I would have to change the rules to put you in team orange.
