This post details the pub quiz which will take place on Saturday the 15th of June, hosted by no other than me, WatakiWatako! I will post more details as they become available, I'm still in the process of creating the questions. And yes, there is a prize! The general idea is as follows.
Where?
The quiz will take place on the IRC network.
When?
Friday the 17th, probably during the GMT evening. A time has not yet been arranged.
Is there a prize?
Yes there is! I am delighted to announce that Byrner is willing to award each member of the winning team with a weapon pack of choice.
What's the plan?
There will be multiple rounds, each with their own topic. The questions will vary from general San Andreas knowledge to questions related to ECNR, EGCM and EGC as a whole. Each round will have two sections, a multiple choice section and a straight up "What's the answer?" round.
Tell me more!
All players wishing to take part should join #PubQuiz on the IRC network on Friday evening. You are welcome to join after you read this though. On Friday evening, the players will be divided into 2 or more teams each consisting of at least 4 players depending upon the turnout. Each team will be given their own channel in which you can discuss the questions with your team mates. The assigned team leader must then report back to me with the chosen answer. After a question, you will receive the results and the scores will be updated.
Can I be on Wataki's team?
I'm afraid not. Since I am setting the questions and hosting the quiz, I cannot take part. The teams will be arranged after you've all shown up. Probably randomly!
The Rules
During the quiz, you may not:
?Use any external sources such as Google.
?Speak to anyone outwith your team regarding the quiz.
?Go in game.
If these rules are broken, your team will face a penalty and may be disqualified.
Best of luck to all participants, see you there!
If you plan to take part, please post here as such that further planning can take place.

Team 3 were the winners, congratulations.
Good quiz but too bad everybody knew about the first questions apart from me :( Also i was hoping for more general San Andreas knowledge such as about the cars or locations or even the characters. Would be good and could be challenging :D
Fak ya, Scotland!
