Ye Wilde Halloween Quiz - points, pics & shitwhatnot

Alreet folks, first of all once more thanks for a bloody great night. Unless memory fails me, this was a RECORD attendance in all my quiz years.. 17!! teams, and 70+ peops. It was good to see so many lovely new faces, and some good old boys and girls too. Looks as if our little quiz family is growing rapidly :D
So for once I've diligently done my homework in time... Here are Thursday's points, and a few pics (all 70+ here for download), as well as the Champions League table after 5 weeks (very tight affair for a change, with 7 more weeks to go all teams still have a very good chance to win the crown in season 2.. and a brand new cup we'll have ready for the final ;))

Yogi topic for Ye Wilde Quiz #18 has been (well) chosen by Howard Met Your Brother, I look forward to writing/photoshopping that round :D
And even though it might not get as packed as last week, I do strongly recommend you book your table rechtzeitig. If you want to know who's in already, check right hand bar.

Wishing you all a happy Halloweekend, or just a lovely sunny one... and I look forward to seeing some of you on Thursday for our next wicked Wilde Quiz.

Ye Wilde Quiz - NEW RULES

After the last 3 weeks, I'm more than a tad annoyed with certain bad habits that have crept in after giving too much leash and so I've decided to yank the chain a bit. Here are the new rules.
Kick-off time
It's probably partly my fault because I've always waited till the last players have turned up. I know that only few of you work till 8 and most could make it in time if they tried. For now we'll keep an academic quarter and start at 8.15pm. Ready or not. That way we might be able to finish by 11pm. If that doesn't work we'll skip all ciggy breaks between rounds.
Registration
I'm tired of running after people to ask for team names, joker rounds, and entry fee. From now on we return to the old custom of teams coming to my table, giving me team name, number of players, and entry fee for the whole team. No more 'I'll pay you next time/in Australian dollars/I haven't got any change etc.) Only valid currency is Euro, in coins no smaller than 10 cents. If you need to get rid of copper coins, try your local supermarket or bank. Joker rounds can be announced/changed till 8.14pm.
Reservation/Cancellation
Some teams still reserve and then don't show up without cancelling. If you know you can't make it, phone the Oscars and vacate your table for other teams. It's common courtesy. Otherwise "your" table will be free for all and you'll have to turn up early and chance it.

Rant over. New rules established.
First test of same - Thursday 27 October, Ye Wilde Quiz #17 (Halloween Special Edition)

Wilde Quiz #16 - proof

Right.. in time for a change.. pics and points. And the current Champions League table. very tight affair at the mo.

Wilde Quiz #16 - making history

Just this.. I'm still gobsmacked. Yep. Me. Old Yappy. Speechless.
Both CannonballZ and ?? (the reigning WQ Champions League champions!!!) managed to finish a round with nil points. And got nuts... sorry lads, das mußte noch mal an die Öffentlichkeit ;).. und ich hab mir denTag im Kalender rot markiert :P
All in all the rest was fun, if not totally everyone's taste.. better luck next time :D
Points, pics, Champions League points, Halloween preview, links, new rules (I've really had it now) ... up here by Saturday. Watch this space.

Wilde Quiz #17 is the annual spooky, scary, gory, wicked, .... Halloween Special Edition. Hopefully we'll get a bit decoration, and other accessoires from management, and if you are so inclined - do show us your costumes, masks and frightening faces ;)
And don't forget to reserve your table(s), we have 9 teams in the book already, and only limited space. Bad Apples - did you want 'your' table and I just overheard/looked you?) Phone Oscar's...before it's too late.

For now - have a lovely Herbst-weekend.. and keep practising.

And before I forget it, here's the topical comic (Old Testament round)  I promised to share.. found it through a friend's facebook the other day and haven't stopped giggling :D

Morning after moan

Just a brief nag in the wee hours... not to spoil the memory of the fun night we had. But a few things are/were slightly annoying me.
Punctuality... if (most of) you want to officially start at 20:30 just let me know and we change the rules/times. No probs. If not do remember that the start is 8pm. And next time we really will. Start at 8pm... whether you're there or not.
Reservations/cancellations. If you have reserved a table and cannot make it - do the polite thing and phone the Oscar's to cancel so we can give the table to other teams. In future I will not take reservations on the night (for the following week) except from Just Met Today, Pinkies, and Howard The Original Duck. All reservations from now on by phone through Oscar's.

Rant over.. pics and points and stuff up here Saturday ;)
Wishing some of you a happy GDRniversary ;)

Wilde Quiz Champions League Season 2 - Kick-off

Okey cokey, bit later than promised but it's beautiful long summer(y) weekend and I've had other things on my mind.
First the missing points for Season 1 Finale..

.. and Season 2 start...

and a few pics zur Erinnerung.

The other 35+ are here .. go fetch ;)

Yogi right for Wilde Quiz #14 goes to Craggy Islanders or - if they decide to take some time out - Dynamo Brauhaus (send me your suggestion for one of the question rounds by Monday 21:00 at the latest...mail or facebook). And there it ends.. this season we won't pass it on up the table.

All in all it was a very fun night, and we'll try to make the next one even better ;). As tables and picture prove (and regulars know) the crowd gets bigger by the week and if you want a table do phone the Oscar's and reserve one. Teams already in the book - see right hand bar. If some of you can't make it please remember to phone and cancel in time. And before I head back into the long weekend, this. Since Friday is Republikgeburtstagwe will mostlikely do another Ossi (Eastie Beastie) round.. brush up on your GDR knowledge.. and bring your Pionierausweis or other East German paraphernalia... I'll round up the Schlagersüßtafel :D
For those of you celebrating Reunimafication Day tomorrow - have a good one.
