Hi Guys,
I received this message from Aule yesterday:
As you may know, the 2003 Debating Tournament is all wrapped up. As it turned out to be quite a success, I have been trying to think of a new inter-Guild activity. Since you all seem to be sick of debating, I'll give that a rest for a little while (although Gil-Galad and Eriol seem to have that all under control).
My proposal: an inter-Guild quiz competition.
I am thinking of hosting the competition over either MSN or IRC. IRC would be better, since I'd be able to get a quizzing program setup to ask the questions, but not many people have IRC on their computer, so that may be difficult. I have spoken to Webmaster about it though, and he is now looking into a java web-based IRC client: which would enable TTF members to access IRC without having to download the IRC program.
The quiz would be in real-time, so the competitors would have to be online during the quiz (the #1 problem so far, as timezones are going to prove a nuisance).
Would your Guild be interested in participating in this?
Once I get an answer from all 6 Guilds, I shall start a discussion thread for the competition, and notify all the Guildmasters of it's presence.
Anybody interested? I can't do it because my online time is too limited but it sounds like fun. :)
