Haven't had the time yet to think through/formulate/translate... the new rules en detail so this only up front.
Yogi Round
- As of Wilde Quiz #25, only 1 TV topic (show or general) per month can be chosen.
- You have to play all 5 rounds of the night in order to be entitled to pick the Yogi (in case you lose)
- If I detect that teams lose on purpose because they want to pick a round of their choice, they're disqualified (for the Yogi choice).
- Since I need more time this year for other tasks, the topics have to be sent in by Sunday, 9pm.
- Über-specific topics like integral calculus, deutsche Wasserballregeln Stand 2012, quantum physics etc., chosen to piss off all other teams AND the quizmiz, will be ignored or result in an easy multiple-choice round to give everyone a half-chance and save me some time. I will NOT waste my limited spare time researching things no one knows (and give a small rodent's behind) about. Be specific but be fair. If you want to be on the safe side, send two suggestions (you never know, the other one might come up in one of the following weeks ;)
If you would like to show off your knowledge about special topics dear to your heart (and brain) do send me your suggestions ANYTIME. That offer has been standing since the invention of MerryKwizzes :)
Likewise, if you let me know what sort of music you're into, or books, films, etc.. I can choose my rounds better to please - if not all of you - at least the majority.
And (thx for the reminder) there will be new rules/penalties for texting/using mobile devices during the rounds. If you can't go without facebooking/tweeting/texting Mutti for 10.5 minutes you can take your mobile and do it outside.. you will have to sit out the rest of the round though. I'm not the only one annoyed by people using smart and other phones, even if they're not cheating. No more debates or excuses, one rule for all. 'Offenders' caught will face points deduction.
Last thing for now - ciggies breaks.
In order to ensure a timely end we will have 2!!! ciggie breaks during the quiz. Probably after the second and the fourth round. If you can't go without your beloved cancer sticks (that goes for yours truly too :)) you can nip out during the round, quietly!!!, but you have to leave any mobile devices behind :D
That's it for now.... let's pretend the Wilde Quizzes is a democratic event :) - if you have comments regarding the above rules or additions... or if you have other suggestions, requests, remarks, or ideas to improve the quiz - do let me know. Comment here, or in the facebook group (I will be seeting up a new one soon) or - if it's super secret - email me.
Looking forward to the start of Wilde Quiz Season 3... and this week's Yogi topic. Well chosen, Just Met Today!!!!
:D

I sincerely hope the "ancient Egyptian hygiene practices" topic doesn't fall under the "über-specific"-rule.
that definitely falls unter maybe 'borderline' :D
aber ihr verliert ja sowieso nie :P
