Wilde, Weird & Wondrous - Ye Grande Halloweene QuizzeParteeeeeeeeeee. Mehr als nur ein kleines bißchen Horrorschau

UPDATE: 
BOOK for Halloween QuizParty is CLOSED. No more reservations. SRY. (you can try and phone Oscar's Thursday afternoon to see if anyone cancelled but no guarantee)..
Ab sofort keine Reservierungen für's Halloween Quiz mehr. Leider kein Tisch mehr übrig. Wer's am Donnerstag trotzdem noch versuchen will, sollte nach 17 Uhr im Oscar Wilde anrufen, vielleicht gibt's ja noch Absagen...)



Before we kick off Season 13, we take a wee seasonal break from 'serious' quizzing.

Next up - Wilde & Weird. Wor much-anticipated (by some) annual Halloween QuizParty on 30 October. KO is 8pm, or thereabouts.

We will have the customary decoration, bloody (good) drinks, games & other surprises, along with the usual queer questions, peculiar pictures & terrifying tunes.

Costumes are not mandatory, but creative and creepy attempts to visually enhance the eerie event will be rewarded. One way or the other. So - get your gruesome garments out, don your witches' hats, insert your fangs and claws and creepily coloured contacts (nah, don't - they freak me out ;) ) and - most importantly - BOOK YOUR TABLE. Deadline is Monday night, this one is reservation only (we have to prepare stuff, and thus need a head count). If your name appears in the book below and you'd rather sit the Halloween special out - DO Let me know IN TIME. I for one am totally looking forward to the horror show...

After that one 'normal' quiz service is resumed, with season 13 starting on 6 November.

I know all the months!!! .. said no WQ Champion ever ;)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Queops!
What a night, what a finish! The trophy, and attached WQ CHAMPIONES title, have moved back from Fietscherings**** to former, and new, Qings DAQ*****. The fifth star, the Brazil of Ye Wilde Quiz (please do leave your 7-1 comments below ;) )
It was a fun night, with quite a few new knowledgeable and entertaining teams, not to mention very well behaved. Please DO come back :D

Line of the Night: "We're so gonna win this round, I know all the months!" .. that worked well, didn't it?? :D :D :P

We look forward to Season 13 which starts on 6 November. DAQ***** season will be open again sooooooon. Good hunting! It might become a four or five horse race this time. Not only did CannonballZ* have a mighty finish, Quizzicals also threw their hat in the ring in season 12. Can they go the distance next season, and win their first star? We shall see....

For now - CONGRATULATIONS, DAQ*****, well done, you ARE the Champions.

Thanks to all, for a totally fun WQ CL season 12. Let's do it again, very soon.

1. DAQ**** 87,5
2. Cannonballs* 78,5
3. Fietscherings**** 78
4. Amazing Graces* 72,5
5. Pünktchen & Arno 63,5
6. Bartleby 63,5
7. Is Leiwand 63
8. Let's Get Quizzical 62
9. Shame As Always 61,5
10. The Lisas 40,5

Once more into the pub, dear friends... it's FI-NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-LE time again

And another season ends. Nope, not summer but Wilde Quiz Champions League Season 12.
Whether it ends with a BANG! o goes out like a damp squib.. you'll see if you turn up on Thursday.
As last week's WQ#158 proved, life (and Ye Wilde Quiz) is full of surprises... Quizzicals added to the growing tally of wins, and P&A's Pünktchen adopted some canny Barnsley lads and took second place.
The game, Mrs. Hudson, ist still very much on even though DAQ**** have a nice 14-point lead.
NOT impossible to catch but it'd take some brains.

WQ#158 points & places

1. Let's Get Quizzical 80,5
2. Pünktchen & Arno 75,5
3. DAQ**** 73,5
4. Fietscherings**** 73
5. Cannonballs* 72,5
6. Amazing Graces* 68,5
7. Half Brighters 64
8. Ice Cream Dream Team 50,5
9. Poophole Loophole 49

Next week it's time to leave your game faces at home and bring your scary selves. We'll dress up, decorate (I hope) and dance with (were)wolves, vampires, and all sorts of creepy critters.

As usual, the Halloween quiz has its own rules, and games, and t'riffic trimmings.

The following week it's business as usual when we kick off season 13!!! of Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League. After that, it's almost time to get your Christmas shopping done :D

But first I look forward to WQ#159 and the CLS12 final. Since I haven't received anything from Poophole Loophole I'll pick all three rounds..

Note: we normally welcome gate crashers with open arms and shots. The Halloween Quiz however is reservation only as we have stuff to prepare that requires a head count.. Teams that are not in the book by Monday 27 November will have to sit the spooky one out. 

WQ#155 round up, WQ#156 heads up

Quick one, haven't had much time lately for updates no one reads.
WQ#155 was fun, lots of nice teams, both old and new, and early-ish finish despite the slightly chaotic start (gate crashers!!!)
With CannonballZ* winning, and Fietscherings**** registering a discard score, the Champions League season 12 arse end is shaping up nicely. Only 4 games left and only 4.5 points between 1st and 2nd. SUSPENSSSSSE!

Next up - the annual OssiOssiOssi quiz (7 October is on the horizon).. or at least a round and a few loose questions. NOTE: this is a regular CL quiz, and the usual rules apply. If you want to make sure you score high in the DDRemembranceRound, do bring an old Ossi (that's East German 'Ossi', not Australian 'Aussie' .. though you can bring them too :D).. if you don't have one of those at home, try and snatch one off the street :D

Book is relatively full (4 tables left last night) and since we want to start early (Friday is national holiday but some people still have to get up in the wee hours of Friday), last minute (or past minute) gate crashers will most likely be turned away. If you want to play, do phone Oscar's and make sure you have a table, or state your intention early enough.

That's all she wrote for now - one last thing though - there will be bonus points for those who bring East German paraphernalia & regalia, for illustration & remebrance purposes. Dig deep, fellow Ossis!!!
And we start the quiz with the old 'Seid Bereit!' .. make sure you know the appropriate reply 'Immer Bereit!'

till the morrow.. looking forward to some serious fun.
