Happydud threw down the gauntlet:

<happydud> I challenge you to an information off.

The setup:
<happydud> Let us choose a mutually agreed upon moderator.

(me)

<happydud> Let this moderator start a thread.

(This)

<happydud> All of massassi shall submit questions, via PM, to said moderator.

(again, me)

<happydud> And then when the Festivus Pole is errected, and the Airing of Grievances is complete
<happydud> we shall come together
<happydud> and engage in an information off
<happydud> in which the moderator poses a random question from his queue to both of us
<happydud> the first one to answer is awarded one (1) point.
<happydud> and so on, until we run out of questions or one challenger is killed.

Fishstickz will be recording this live on stickam. I wasn't sure if I should start this thread now or closer to the event, however we wanted to do it now so that we don't forget. So PM me your questions!

Remember we want questions covering a wide range of topics, so let's not have this turn into pure massassi trivia or a science test.

We're still debating the prize, but we'll let you know what it is as soon as we figure it out.

Did I leave anything out, guys?

THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN.

FROM MY HAND AND INTO YOUR FACE.

We'll schedule a time for this soon - we're going to have people in #massassi submitting questions as we go too.

I have no question at the moment, but this looks like it will be fun.

By "information off" you of course mean Google-off, right?

that's the point of putting it on stickam, and having a moderator. Neither of us will have any access to a computer.

I will have all of the questions, they won't have access to them and I will be in the room with them so they won't be able to go online to look up the answers

my question

why?

my question:
shouldn't someone other then happydud be moderator if he is a contestant?

sugarless is the moderator.

If they get to use the internet, or any references for that matter, this thing is rigged I tell you!

@jim7: for the lulz

no internet or resources at all. It's a trivia game, all knowledge has to come from their brains and their brains alone.

(yeah I'm the moderator, not happydud)

Side note that we should have thought of. Please send me the question AND the answer. I will check them out to make sure they're correct, but having the answer there will make the double checking process a lot faster

I think we should just get a game of trivial pursuit or something, because I've since realized that the questions from the community will be designed in purpose to particularly specific, or monumentally general, and will be limited in subject matter.

we could mix together forum questions AND trivial pursuit/other such stuff

Where is this occurring? Baltimore? Could be fun to drive down to help out/hang out.

Brush up on your scottish history.

would you hit it?

This is a community event! Questions must come from the community!

spit or swallow?

A European or an African swallow?

But it's function first is that of a knowledge off, and I think I agree with sugarless, it should be a mix.

I was going to say the same thing.

INSERT MORE TAUNTING AND A SLY ATTEMPT AT A BUMP HERE

I have no idea what's going on, it looks like some sort of lame forum game but IRL?

oh it's just using stickam but not really irl sorry i need to read thread better carry on

NEED MORE QUESTIONS

Pop Culture, History, Science, Games, Arts, anything!

In what year was the Battle of Bannockburn?
