    Default Tomes for Trivia

    In celebration of Update 13 coming on Monday I will be hosting a Tomes for Trivia event!

    Videos of the 96 minute event that took place:
    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3

    Who?
    Anyone on the server is invited to participate.

    What?
    Tomes for Trivia is a contest in which I will ask a series of questions related to Dungeons and Dragons Online. The first one who correctly answers will be mailed a tome. The type of tome won will correspond with the question that was answered. The prize for each question will be made clear before the question is asked. There is an assortment of +1 and +2 tomes of various attribute types.

    45 questions will be asked, so there are 45 tomes to win!

    Where?
    Anywhere. This will be hosted on the user chat channel "tometrivia". All questions will be asked on that chat channel and only answers given on that chat channel are valid to win.

    To join the user chat channel "tometrivia" type the following:
    /joinchannel tometrivia
    To reply to the chat channel "tometrivia" you can either set your outgoing chat to the chat channel (likely UserChat1, unless you have other user chat channels in use) or type the number the chat channel is for you with your message:
    /1 The answer is kobold!

    When?
    Providing nothing abrupt occurs Tomes for Trivia will begin Monday, February 27th at 8:00PM EST.

    Why?
    Tomes will be retained while True Reincarnating so I no longer need to hold onto them, and I figure we are all due for a Tomes for Trivia event.

    All of the questions have been drafted, with what I hope will once again be a good mix for all kinds of players.

    Just as a forewarning to any participants, I will be recording this event.

    +1 MrCow, Thelanis spirit FTW.

    If I'm around I'll probably watch but doubt I'd actually participate..I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who could put those tomes to better use than me :P

    in the past, i gave you +1 for sharing your knowledge.

    today, i give you +1 for your generosity.
    if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
    if life gives you pickles, well you're screwed. because pickleade sucks.

    Like last time, I'll post the questions after the event. I will refrain from posting the answers as some folks may not want a spoiler.

    Is there a limit on the number of tomes one player can win? I am not the fastest of typers and would be at a disadvantage to some of the texting generation.
