Hi bobinovich

I am not the quizmaster, but my experience suggests that anyone can join. The real issue is not knowledge as much as quick typing skills, having a fast connection and being fairly close to the server. At 5000 miles away I get routed all over the place and have been known to have an answer appear after a new question is posted. But it is still a fun time. In fact that is the major goal, fun. No one really wants to win because the prize is setting the next quiz. We have normally had 20 questions, although tomorrow I think that the plan is to have 15. If that is the case they may be more difficult. The questions cover a broad range of topics from music, to history, to architecture, to geography, to sports. Give it a go, I did and I have made some wonderful friends even though I have never actually met them.

Good luck.

Do we have a time when the doors to the room will be open? Moira, wickerinca and I have some setting up to do.

(Sorry Bobinovich, we talk in terms of actually being there. Of course we aren't. W and I both live in Canada, M in Wick itself.)

Cheers Canuck, I hope to 'see' you tomorrow night if I get a little peace & quiet, as well as getting on the PC of course!

See you then. It is mid-afternoon for me. We will keep a place ready for you. On the screen we are each assigned a different colour so it makes the chat aspect go quite smoothly. You can have a conversation if you just look for the colours you are talking to. The questions appear from time to time in pink type. You can ignore them and go on talking, or try answering them.

YES, the quiz is for any and every one! The categories are decided by the quizmaster, the questions are wide and varied in nature and difficulty. The main objective, however, is having a laugh or two or twenty, and no one ever makes a prat of themselves at the quiz...don't worry! Just come and have fun.

bingobabe disappeared before she could be told that she would be the quiz person next week. and Apocalypse volunteered, so I made a quick judgement. Hope it works out ok, the quiz is for fun not to be taken seriously
