Himmelfahrtsquiz - Option D

Noch eine andere Variante für nächste Woche. Da viele am Himmelvaterherrenfahrtstag was anderes vorhaben als Quiz bestünde die Möglichkeit, das ganze Spiel einen Tag vorzuverlegen und am Mittwoch den 8. Mai durchzuziehen. Mit oder ohne Champions League Finale.
Wie auch für die Donnerstagsvariante gilt - BITTE EXPLIZITE und zeitnahe Wortmeldungen, da wir (OW & MQM) natürlich planen müssen.

If you have other plans for 9 May (bank holiday) but don't want to wait 2 weeks for your quiz fix, we have the option of playing WQ#90 on Wednesday 8 May. If you fancy a night of ABS, fun, nuts & drinks PLEASE LET US KNOW asap (actually, by Friday 3 May) - we need to plan too. The initial option of a smaller-crowd-more-drinks-and-fun-and-games-for-all quiz on the original Thursday 9 May still stands. If no more than 6 teams (no fewer than 5 though ;)) we could even do more but shorter rounds and each team can pick one Yogi topic ;)

Comments on preferences, potential reservations, and other ideas by mail, or comment to this post, or in the facebook group. ASAP.

Booking and bookings and planning ahead

For the (probably NOT) last time. Und aus gegebenem Anlass NOCH MAL ZUM MITSCHREIBEN:
Wer einen Tisch will - 2828166. BITTE KEINE MAIL an mich, ich hab nicht den Überblick wie das Reservierungsbuch im Oscar Wilde aussieht. Und ich rufe auch nicht für euch an.
Wer einen Tisch hat und nicht kommen will/kann oder sich zu anderen gesellt (so daß ein Tisch frei wird) BITTE ABSAGEN unter 2828166. Es pißt mich only ever so slightly off daß ich teams wegschicken muß weil angeblich alle Tische besetzt sind. Viele versuchen noch Donnerstag nachmittag zu reservieren und ziehen dann enttäuscht wieder ab.

Also (Joel ;)) - please give your team name when booking a table. Literacy and logic are not necessarily hiring criteria at OW. With team names I can at least take a Wilde guess who is in the book, rather than with - intriguingly - misspelt surnames.

And last but not least (I guess that betrifft mostly our German teams)
9. Mai ist Himmelvatermännerfahrtstag. Mehrere Teams haben bereits Desinteresse am Quiz an diesem Tag geäußert. Bisher stehen Graces & Cannonballs im Buch. Wenn sich bis spätestens 2. Mai noch mindestens 3 weitere Teams finden machen wir ein Außer-der-Reihe-Quiz mit Spiel & Spaß & vielleicht Außer-der-Reihe-Regeln. Vielleicht überlaß ich euch auch die Wahl der Themen ;)
Wenn sich weiter keiner findet gehe ich mir halt den neuen Star Trek Film ansehen.
Lettuce No.

And one little note before the weekend (and before next week's quiz)
ANYONE who is caught using a mobile device of ANY kind for ANY purpose during the rounds will face point deduction. Without fail and without warning. Especially if you (half) loudly announce that you're gonna google.
end of.

Have a good weekend, see you for the penultimate episode of season 7. Nailbitingly tight that one is gonna be.

Potter, pink & pluvial tunes

Quick roundup of WQ87 - fun it was and massive points for all (some more, some less). Here's what it all looked like, including a first appearance of the Pink Beret of Shame. Just because the Green Hat was already taken ;)
Yogi for #88 - Just Met Today (ich brauche mindestens noch 1 Thema von euch)..
Champions League is weiterhin very interesting, with another 3 rounds to play, the winners are hard to predict (almost as excitign as the EPL relegation battle).Cannonballs closing in on DAQ & ???... Spannnnnnnung!!!
The usual suspects in the book, if you want to join them phone Oscar's and reserve a table.

And last but not least: Yogi. IF High Five do not return (and I wasn't under the impression last night but then I could be wro.. never. Anyway.... we shall face the historically unprecedented case of 3!!!! teams sharing the Yogi right. Bedebow, Denny Crane and Quiz Wizards (who have not yet reserved a table for next week ;)) can all send in (at least) 3 suggestions by Sunday 9pm.
We might actually have 3 Yogi question rounds.....or 2. or 1. or none :)

Hand me down.. a sheet for round 3

Heads Up: We have one hand out round tomorrow and in order to save some trees I will only make enough copies for the teams registered by tomorrow (Thursday) 4pm. Gatecrashers and latecomers will have to sit that one out or beg the neighbours to share their sheet. If you want in on the fun, phone Osar Wilde in time (and, just to be on the safe side, let me know by mail or fb group). So far we have the 8 teams on the list (post below) and TWN (former Canadian Mooses)
Eine Runde morgen ist mit Zettelausteilen (weil wegen Newcastle und det allet) und es gibt nur Kopien for die Teams die bis morgen 16.00 Uhr angemeldet sind. Weil wegen Waldsterben und Bäume retten und so ;). Wer also bei dem Spaß dabei sein will sollte rechtzeitig im Oscar anrufen (und zur Sicherheit mir per mail oder in der FB-Gruppe bescheid sagen). Bisher gemeldet haben die 8 Teams die auf der Liste stehen (s. vorheriger Eintrag) und TWN (ehemalige Canadian Mooses).

Wilde Quiz Champions League Season 7 - the second half

Not much time at the moment for graphics, and pics and stuff (barely have the time to actually write the quizzes) so here's only the current CL table and the book for next week(s).
Both show room for improvement ;)

Remember: Thursday 11 April is the day (or night) when Newcastle valiantly (and most likely in vain) try to make it into the Europa League semi finals. Can Cissé score the 2-0 deep in injury time? Again? We shall see. At least for 10 minutes. And therefore we're going to have one hand-out round. Still not decided what that will be so suggestions are welcome till Tuesday night, already got a few through the facebook group :)
Also, 2 points for correct score prediction and 1 point for correct result are up for grabs on Thursday night. live.
