Trivia, an event that's almost extinct due to how rarely it's ever hosted, and on top of that it's not even named correctly as I've seen from recent trivia sessions. It's called trivia but it's become more of a typing race, we might as well shove it in the race category, take away the hat, then host it 24/7. The Adkins hosting it also concern me, there are certain questions that make me facepalm at how much thought was put into them "Is Njc wearing a mask?" (quoted from Flo Bordeaux) or "Ui dropped out of high school" (quoted from Uninspired) if you were wondering the answer to that question from Ui, which wasn't even a question, it was "lol". At this point it's no longer a game of mental ability where a 14 year old boy gets beat by some random younger child all because he is fast at typing, a buzzer, timer system, and having this hosted more often would be nice. And to add on to earlier comments there should be tougher questions that require SOME mental ability like "What is the scientific name for the study of fungi called?" (quoted from Casper Zephlyn) or "What is a the scientific name for the study of weather?" (coincidentally also quoted from Casper Zephlyn). And if you happened to scroll to the bottom o this thread just to see the outcome of my statements my point is this: The trivia hat has official lost all meaning as far as mental ability goes. Thank you for your time Graalians.  

I used to host it when I was an admin. I won't lie; my trivia was damn good. I didn't do questions like I know a lot of admins to do. That's one thing that I miss about being an admin: hosting trivia.

Wow, pretty ironic because now admins don't even want to host it  

Trivia needs to be removed. You know half the time they do those ******ed questions it's for their friends to win because they went over it prior. especially those ones where it's a personal question "what's my fav color" "what's my birth place" etc. I'm sure it could be categorized as abuse but w/e  

Then you have those people who have google opened ready to answer difficult questions.  

Wow, lucky, I haven't seen trivia being hosted since PoeticFolly. Take into consideration the amount of extraneous work put into finding an unpredictable amount of questions that a majority of players find fitting, then when you use them, players always complain. Afterwards, think about how much work it takes to type ":start" then wait.

The reason that I would host trivia is because it would give every player a good chance to do it. You never know how many people in the room know about Bach. Some people in the room know more than others. It's not like race where you have the same winner over and over. It takes effort on my part and effort on there's, too.  

If I were hosting Trivia, I would make your brains hurt!

I've never seen this before :0

I agree that trivia should be hosted more, but it is a typing race. They don't wanna give the point to everyone; it would never end! I miss admins like poetic, cat, and Mariah Nicole who would do trivia because its hardly ever hosted.

And yeah, we do need more creative and trivial questions  

I don't support the typing races, nor do I support the use of google in trivia. We need a kind of medium question, how, I do not know.

Side note, music lyrics trivia is the best, the ONLY trivia I've ever won.

The point of this wasn't that they should take it away...

But the people who already knew the answers would still get it first, duh

I agree I guess, it is hard work, but then again in the 6 months I've been playing I've only been in it 5 time, 3 of those being this month due to Flo

The real question is: How many questions could you right? See failure's (or Poorface's I forgot which one) comment, think about the work in making all your questions

I love trivia, but I just don't have a chance when the question is "bsgstekebagwueiebgajs" and the answer is "wtf".....

But think of it this way: If you win those wouldn't you win them repeatedly? But lyrics is a good thought, as long as it doesn't become a typing race all over again...

EXACTLY MY POINT! I hate that...  

I host trivia around 5 times a week, but most of them are math questions >

Poeticfolly= Trivia Lord. <3
Besides, Trivia is the only event I won more than once.
I won Pokemon Trivia in July, flamecrow's awesome Trivia which was about Graal Era, Alpho's first Trivia and once of Poetic's trivias.
