I need a new team for pub trivia night. (This is the most serious problem I'm prepared to troubleshoot right now. Please don't ask me about anything else.)

DM: Crysta Waldinger
Are you doing anything for Enoch's birthday?

What if I was forming a bar trivia team? I think you should consider all of your options here.

I bring math, physics, geography, foreign languages and Nobel Prize winners. History and other sciences are subjects easily covered, given that this is a research station full of socially maladapted people. I've analysed previous sessions of bar trivia, and the topics which teams truly struggle with are: sports, modern music and art history.

It depends on how many people are willing to play, really, but typically no more than four.

Knowledge of pop culture relevant to people under the age of 21 has historically always been a weak point of the residents here.

we rly do need an art nerd (NOT spirit)

well yr in luck theyve always been my top viewer demographic
and like maybe itd be more fun anyway to have a both external (w the bar; we will win it; this will probably get old and unrewarding) competition and an in-team (loser has to buy everyone drinks)(more challenging) competition anyway?

Does Zeke know anything?

Interesting proposal. Satisfying both our desire to prove our superiority and our desire to endlessly one-up each other. I'm willing to do a trial run.

There has to be something. Saturday morning cartoons? Drugstore makeup brands? Criminal activity? [...] Actually, that last one is already covered by Crysta and Raine.

[personal profile] imaginist 2024-01-19 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
None of these are useful. Well. Maybe the dolphin sex.

What exactly is he bringing to the rel I'm willing to learn famous paintings, if you're willing to find someone who can cover the "Musicals" category.

We'll need both a punishment for in-team last place and a reward for in-team first place to keep us motivated. Winner gets to ask for anything they want?
beautyfull: (✂️129)

[personal profile] beautyfull 2024-01-18 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
surely there’s got to be a theatre nerd someplace here

Whatever they want is so open I’d like to establish a guideline here

[personal profile] imaginist 2024-01-19 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh. But do we want to hang out with a theatre nerd? Maybe we should just accept this category is a loss.

What? You don't trust your teammates?
beautyfull: (✂️178)

[personal profile] beautyfull 2024-01-19 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
we for sure don't and thank u for not making me. they'd get a little tipsy and do an impromptu performance and like, i can read some wikipedias or sondheim biographies and it's just as good.

oh yeah with my life i'm just surprised u trust your team that much
imaginist: (⚛️ 19)

[personal profile] imaginist 2024-01-19 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I would never subject you to showtunes. But you're right, our efforts are better spent on gaining only a cursory overview of unknown topics and bolstering knowledge in our special trivia categories. Or, we find a telepath.

Are we not on the same team? Or am I still pending approval?
