Mid-week round-up - points, prediction of the week & preview

HALLOWEEN QUIZ UPDATE: Graces & DAQ start with 1 point for predicting Newcastle defeat ;)
You can get more bonus points for turning up in costume (a Burger King paper hat does NOT count)... and if anyone has any Halloween/Fasching make-up at home (or additional decoration or accessoires) and would like to share - do come in a bit early :)
We'll have 5-9 teams tomorrow and only those in the book are taken into preparationalistic (yesthatisaword) consideration. Gatecrashers can still join the quiz but might have to sit out the games rounds.

Apologies for the silence, only had time to briefly post last week's points and the current table in the facebook group, rather than arguing with blogger.
I might write a review of last week's fun affair later, it was a highly pleasant night for which I thank all teams again :D
Graces resume top spot and Fietschering Fragezeichen showed that they still know how :D .. Season 9 stays interesting...


On to new adventures though and the big (well, not so much this year) Halloween Special is almost upon us, with only a handful of teams in the book which gives us more time for games (staking vampires, for instance ;))

AAAAND since no one (but 1 Grace who - bless her - had too much faith in NUFC) sent in any predictions for the Sunday game, here is another chance, and an easy one to boot.
Predict tonight's result AND score in the Newcastle-ManCiteh cup game at 9pm. (i.e. win/lose AND correct score, e.g. 0-5)
It's AT St James' Park, and there won't be a draw so we're talking score after regular time. And believe me, we won't even be trying to compete. Leave your predictions here as a comment, or on fb or send a mail. By 9pm tonight at the very latest. You can start with 2 points tomorrow (at least the result is hardly rocket science ;))

Off now to prepare tomorrow's spooky spectacle, looking forward to seeing some cool costumes and having lots of fun.

Scary sights, spooky sounds, creepy conundrums, and a bloody good show - Ye Wilde Halloween Quiz

Yes, it's THAT time of the year again. And this time, the Wilde Quiz Halloween Spooky Special Edition falls on the very day. So - if you want in on the bloody brilliant mystery mayhem - get your name in the book early (some teams booked their table right after last year's show)..
We will have Halloween-ish decoration (and even answer sheets & Urkunden), cute (?) and creepy costumes, bottles of Bloody Mary, hot nuts (and crisps), games, and of course 5 rounds with frightful Fragen, pretty gruesome pictures, and tons of Halloween sounds & songs.
Note: This is NOT a Champions League game.. some rules might differ a bit. 
There will be bonus points for fancy dresses, and the odd extra points that are totally down to luck (anyone remembers hot vampire answer sheets?).
So if you're a fan of the creepiest day of the year - come on down for ein kleines bißchen Horrorschau.
And if you want to see what it looked like in the years past - guckst du hier.

Thomas Mützer, Moloko Plus & Multiple Choice - WQ#109

Another fun night with very creative, fun-loving, and well-behaved (well, mostly, eh, Smartin?!?) new & old teams. SO macht Quiz Spaß!!!
Below the first few pics (I have one or two more but not time at the mo), the points and current Champions League table. Congrats to Cannonballs for another 90+ victory, keeping this CL season HIGHLY interesting. DAQ & Graces have now reached the mandatory 6 games and can start working on making up for their 'Ausrutscher'.. the others need at least 2 more games.
The Goonies were not deterred by their first night low score and have decided to return, Yogi topic and all. I look forward to seeing them (and the other 8 teams in the book so far).

Wazzup next?


 That's still the old one, current one up here Monday 21 October. There were only 5 tables left for WQ#110 when I checked on Friday. If you want in, best phone Oscar's now.

Peanuts, penis parades & pasta shapes - Ye Wilde Quiz #108

Friends, Römer, cunning men (and women) - THAT WAS FUN!
I hadn't expected such a big crowd, was briefly worried that I'd have to shout and lose my voice but was pleasantly surprised that it was a merry mix of improvised mayhem and meticulously planned fun. Well, mostly.. we're working on organisational matters :)
Thanks to Bon Doofi for the wonderfully weird Yogi round, we should do silly more often.
Also nice to see potential new (semi or quarter) regulars, and 'old' faces, this promises to be a lovely Quiz Autumn&Winter.
For now just the points and the current Champions League table. DAQ have regained top spot, the race stays interesting, all the more since CannonballZ have thrown their hat in the ring and booked their table for the next 3 weeks. For DAQ and Graces it's only 1 more game till Bergfest, from 24 October on it'll be Streichergebnisse :) . Balls have some catching up to do but it's never too late. Fragezeichen are losing ground but a nothing a few victories couldn't fix.
Let's do it all over again, with crisps, and more staff, and new questions, next week. Abandoned Duo (formerly known as Let's Get Quizzical) have Yogi right and can send me their 3 favourite topics by Sunday 9pm.
Pictures of last night's Fun Fare (sic) later tonight or tomorrow. I'll rain all day anyway.
