Re: FFR Trivia!
Everyone's good at simpsons trivia. If that was the category 90% of people would have 10/10.

I wouldn't choose it because of the difficulty. I would choose it because I would get first place.Originally posted by c117

Re: FFR Trivia!
Baseball knowledge that most of us know:
9 players. There's a pitcher and a catcher!
Some of the field is grass and some of it is like dirt!
4 bases in a diamond.
2 teams! Raar!
Bat hit ball over fence = homerun!
Boo to steroids and Macguire and Sosa and Bonds.
And that's about it.

Re: FFR Trivia!
Fun, baseball!
Although, I'm with mets, if there's too much history in it that doesn't pertain to significant records, even I'd do poorly. Events from 1990 on should be fair game, though. That seems fair enough for anyone.

So you're saying I should stick to the Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Cap Anson, George Sisler, Nap Lajoie, etc Eras.. 1880s-1920s.
Saying things like, "Man... I'm awesome at baseball trivia, so long as it's from the past ten years" is like saying "Man... I'm awesome at Simpsons trivia, so long as it's from the past 2 seasons".
Plus, the more people bitch, the more it makes me want to do things that will make them bitch more.RIPComment

Re: FFR Trivia!
I never said I was awesome. What I was suggesting is that for anyone else (even baseball fans like I) to have a chance greater than that of random guessing, a time restriction would be good, excluding, of course, timeless pieces of trivia, like significant records and people, not necessarily from absurdly early baseball.
You know there aren't many baseball (sports) fans on this site. I am a baseball fan and follow it to an appreciable degree. If I could only identify one of the people you listed, how well would the rest of the community do? I understand that it's a trivia game, but it's not much of a competition if you cherry pick the questions.
Recent history is obviously fair game for questions, but come on, unless the very historical questions are about significant records that could fall into the category of general trivia, you're out of the competitive realm. I could make a topic about science and have a plethora of questions from which to draw, but what fun would it be if I started asking about Bose-Einstein condensates, what makes solutions levo- or dextrorotatory, or how reheating effects the efficiency and power outputs of a heat pump?
There is nothing to compel you to carefully pick questions, but throw everyone a bone here.

No, just to be a cock.
Don't get me wrong, I truly understand the nature of wanting to do something like that and I will rightly defend the right to do so.
But that's why he'd do it.

I've also pointed out that someone else will get to pick the category after Friday. At least until I win again.
So when you win (or get 2nd, when the 2nd person gets to pick), you can pick tough science questions (assuming FunTrivia has them).
The SP has ~50 questions in it... the baseball one will have ~65, I believe. Tomorrow will be fairly easy, I believe. It will be Hodgepodge set to Easy questions.RIPComment

6 right. Should have had 9--I got a few wrong because I thought the obvious answer couldn't possibly be right. ><4th Official FFR Tournament - Master division champion!

SO... the worst features of this site are:
-Can't set up the next day's questions until that day. Aka, when you change the category, it changes instantaneously vs next day.
-Can't edit player's score, or delete/reset them...
Why is this bad? Because I went to change the category from SP to Mixed Bag, but someone started a SP quiz before I changed it. So he got the easy ass questions while everyone else will have harder ones.
I think my solution to this will be to close the competition at ~11:55, so that when it rollsover to the new day, nobody will be able to take the new quiz. Then I can edit it and re-open it.RIPComment

Re: FFR Trivia!
Oh wow, I actually got the Melba question right o_OI watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.Comment
