Have you played trivia in #toontowntrivia on live chat? It's easy and its fun. And... now's your chance to be recognized for your trivia prowess; we're starting a new season of trivia! The current trivia scores are going to be reset on November 23 so everyone has a chance at being a top player. The top 10 players will be recognized on the message boards with a temporary scrolling name and scores recorded for posterity. Don't worry, we wont forget the players that have worked their way to the top this time.



If you haven't played, why not give it a try? Join the live chat and find your way to the #toontowntrivia channel (IRC Guide located here (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Live_Chat/IRC_Guide)). Game play is simple:!choose to select a category (ToonTown, VMK, or Disney)
!trivia to start a game
!strivia to stop
!hint for a hint
Answer questions using the hints provided

The same rules (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Live_Chat_Policies_%26_Rules) for chat apply in trivia and we ask that all players be considerate of others while playing. If a game is running and you wish to change the category, please ask the other players. Anyone can play in any category, so theres no need to feel you can't play if its not your category.

So go on... get playing and have some fun!!

It's in the channel #toontowntrivia, as stated by TooHip. To access this channel, simply bring up the VMKForums jIRC applet on the top left side of www.vmkforums.com and once in, type "/j #toontowntrivia" , without the quotations.

Side note- Trivia doesn't start counting until NOVEMBER 23RD. That's nearly a week, kids. #toontowntrivia is crazy right now

To be clear, Trivia is open right now. The 23rd is when the current scores will be reset. Anyone can start the game if its not running. Once you've joined the trivia channel, use !trivia to start it. Although, I dont think its stopped since I posted this.

Yes. Everyone will get to start from the same place - Zero. Kind of closes the gap for the ones that just started playing. :)

If you're in the top 10 at midnight November 22nd (PST), you will be recognized. We're resetting the scores on the 23rd so all players have a chance at getting to the top for the next round. Everyone will start at zero on the 23rd.

To play, you need to join Live Chat. There are many ways to access the Live Chat but for most users it will be thru the Java chat located in the Live Chat box on the home page of each site. To get to the trivia channel VMKf users will have to enter "/join #toontowntrivia" (without quotes) once logged in. The Live Chat/IRC guide is located here (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Live_Chat/IRC_Guide).
when did this whole thing start?
The trivia game has been around for a long time. We recently decided it was time to reset the scores and reward the top players to promote a little fun for everyone. We hope you like it.

Well, it is like an annual thing. Take costume month, for instance, that has to happen once a year for everyone to catch up. It is mostly for the new players though.

I've tried to play at least 10 times since got up this morning, but people are always in the middle of toontown trivia. Is there a way to play VMK at the same time?

I'm having trouble where I answer the question first but the person right after me gets a point. Am I not counting?

ooo! scrolling names!

:) It's kinda depressing that the questions will be changed, but we'll learn more 'bout Disney/TT/VMK. :D

ps- No, EKB didn't edit my post. I put that. ;)

It's just a lag due to your computer and/or internet connection. Keswick (the bot) isn't unfair in any way, people's answers can appear in different orders on different computers.....bottom line, the bot still records the first/quickest answer.

Not without them creating another channel. TooHip has to put Keswick in there to run 5 channels.

Oh okay. Well I guess it wouldn't seem fair if all we played is VMK.

Keswick may have died.

He 'dies' temporarily every now and then. Try again in an hour. He might be up. Or maybe five minutes. It varies. ;)

Or! *gasp* maybe they're re-setting the questions. :eek:

Always make sure that Keswick is actually IN the channel first, otherwise no commands will work.

OH! I tried to add a question, but nooo he had to die then.

The feature to add questions to Keswick is buggy, so the best way to contribute is by PMming TooHip (while you are in chat) with questions in this format:

question*answer

Example: How many inferno pins does Wendot have?*none!
