Merry Quizmas

Late to the party as usual but before it's over let me wish y'all a very MerryQuizmas.

It's been a mad year, but fun nonetheless. Thank you for memorable and highly enjoyable Thursdays, Mondays, and Thursdays. For all the help, and for being good sports, and good friends. Thank you for introducing me to, and letting me play with you, and playing with me at BunnyQuiz.

For now best wishes for peaceful, joyful, and hopefully not too quizzical days. Until we meet again (on 7 January 2016) for more mysteries, and madness, and merry-making.

Happy Holidays to you & yours, and a fantastic 2016.

POTW later ;)

Fassy, Viel Fun & F-Words in the Title - WQ#190

As if we'd never been away....

The first Wilde Quiz since.. before the summer went well, and was heaps of fun. (never mind the few hiccups in preparation). And as if to celebrate the return to old stomping grounds, BigBallZ decided to take the game to DAQ (who had won the first 4 games in season 16) and bagged their first win of the season.
WQ#191 is Halbzeit for DAQ, Graces & Fietscherings. After that - Streichergebnisse ;)  .. P+/-A still need 3 games, BallZ 4. With another 7 games to play, anything can happen.

Next week is Hasenquiz Week, and Ye Wilde Quiz returneth on Thursday 19 November. We start pretty much on time (need to finish 11pm) so please be there before 8pm. I promise the back bar will be open 7.45pm at the latest.

We only have 4 tables left. If you want one, send a mail. Or leave a note in the fb group.

That's all for now - enjoy the nice side of autumn. See you soon at one of the quizzes, rabbit or wilde.

Wilde .. is the new black

It's back to the roots. Again. For the last time.

After the bunch of fun that was Ye Wilde Halloween Quiz, we'll continue with 'normal' quizzes (Champions League & others). And we start on Thursday 5 November, at the usual 8pm. Champions League Season 16, game 5. Seven tables are still up for grabs, if you want one, send us a mail or leave a message in the facebook group.
Pünktchens have Yogi and the rest will be here at the weekend.
Have a god one, see you soon.

Halloween - Hallo, Quiz!!!

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose... No matter what, time-honoured traditions should be upheld. And thus we shall meet for the annual Wilde Halloween Quiztravaganza.
Dress up (there will be points & other rewards for best costume), grab your garlic, search fur (sic) some fierce-looking fangs, dust off your broom, brush up on all things dead and undead and come down to Oscar Wilde Irish Pub (Friedrichstraße 112A) on Thursday 29 October. The traditional 8pm (or thereabouts)...
We're gonna have all sorts of gruesome and garish, as well as games, and guaranteed loads of fun. Nuts and drinks go without saying...

UPDATE: THE BOOK IS CLOSED. NO MORE TABLES FOR THE CREEPFEST.

And who knows, if it works out okay, we might have the odd (ir)regular quiz later this year...

Strange colours, scarecrows, Seid Bereit!, und Schluß? - Q3#017

Despite the manageable crowd, the 3 hours of our annual Ossi!Ossi!Ossi!quiz were tons of fun. Definitely the best part of Monday. Thanks to the faithful few for turning up, and turning it on :)
As for results, DAQ******* .... (you can fill in the rest for yourselves ;)
EastieGraces took 2nd place (sorry 'bout that round of drinks).. and Pünktchen totally lived up to their role as new Quizzicals ;)

1. DAQ******* 74,5
2. Graces* 70,5
3. Fietscherings***** 59,5
4. P+/-A 45
5. Alt & Neu 37,5

This is the vorerst last CL table. Pity we have to stop not even half way through the season, before other teams get the chance to catch (up with) DAQ*******.
Since the numbers are dwindling, and it seems impossible at the moment to resolve some things with the Kilkenny, there is no date for the next quiz. 

I'm trying to find a location for the Halloween quiz, preferably the Thursday before. Would hate to see that tradition go. 

In the meantime, have a nice October, don't stray too far and watch this space, I'm trying to works things out. If only to finish CL season 16.

SEID BEREIT!!!!

Vive la révolution! (I'm all out of alliterative headlines) - Q3#016

As almost every week - apologies. For the tardiness in updating, RL is keeping me busy (in my defence, or as my excuse - most queops read the fb page, almost no one comes here anyway :).

Anyroad, once again thanks to all teams who were not stricken by the current flu wave and did turn up for Q3#014 - mit euch spiel ich am liebsten ;)
Really enjoyed having three lovely new teams even though some of them were just in for that one night. The things you learn from Swedes

Congrats to DAQ******* on that 'yellow streak' (3 wins in 3 weeks) ;) - nice 44 point lead but that's only week 3 of CL season 16. We shall see...
Congrats also to 4-2-almostWON, and apologies again, I'm sorry you didn't get that hard-earned and well-deserved round in the end (nicely played on that boybandjokerround ;) .. some things are beyond my control. I promise I'll make it up to you, if I have to buy you that round myself ...
For most CL teams, Thursday's scores will probably be Streichergebnisse in the end but you never know when attendance/POTW points might make the difference :D

1. DAQ******* 78
2. 4-2-Won 70
3. Amazing Graces* 59,5
4. Fietscherings***** 51,5
5. The Three Amigo/a/s 39,5
6. Gems 37
7. Lunatics 30,5

Glad we've got that FrenchRevolution round and the boy band music round out of the way. Neither are gonna make a reappearance anytime soon ;) (though I do have one or two revolutionary leftovers for another day)

QuizPlans for October look like this:

• Monday 5 Oct - Q3#017 (Architecture, Ossi!Ossi!Ossi! and Multiple Choice Round)
• Monday 12 Oct - no quiz

Silenced lambs, Summer Rain & Cidermen - Season 16, Q3#013

Klein aber fun, that was Q3#013. The new season started with old champions bagging the first first ;) and two Graces taking second. Much fun was had by all, especially P&A-A in the music round :) .. looks as if they're worthy successors to Quizzicals (who were missed, massively)

But.. we said HELLO!!! to newbies Cidermen (aka Spidermen or Cybermen) who fit in just nicely and enjoyed the evening so much that, despite (or because of?) Yogi, they decided to return next week and give it another go. (They also picked a lovely Yogi topic ;) which many other teams are going to like, too)

POTW comes in separate post, CL table is not much use yet after one week, so here's the points and places.

1. DAQ******* 90,5
2. Amazing Graces* 76,5
3. Fietscherings***** 70,5
4. Pünktchen +/- Arno 68,5
5. 4-2-Won 68,5
6. Cidermen 38

And before I forget it - Saturday 19 September is International 'Talk like a pirate' Day so we're gonna have the annual PIRATE ROUND on Monday 21 September. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh. Piratey costumes or accessories not mandatory but might get bonus points.

Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel - POTW for Q3#013

First lines, Fun Direction, Florida leftovers, & Fietscherings Fünfter Ftern - Q3#012

QUEOPS!

Apologies for the lack of updates but RL has been very demanding lately and I've only just now got round to sorting points and pictures of last week's Season 15 Grande Finale.
Right then - before the new CL season starts next Monday, round-up of CLS15. 

After Great BallZ* were on fire for almost the entire first half of the season, Fietscherings*****, DAQ*****, and even Amazing Graces* (who got the only century break of the season) mounted a really exiting comeback in the last 6 weeks and made the S15 title race a proper thriller. The final  Q3#012 was a real nail-biter, as expected, and in the end it was the tightest win since... I can't remember.

1. DAQ******* 77,5
2. Cannonballs* 75,5
3. Let's Get Quizzical 72
4. Fietscherings***** 71,5
5. Pünktchen & Arno 66
6. Obelix 65
7. Lancashire Hotpots 62,5
8. Asterix 61
9. 4-2-Won 51,5

NEW CHAMPIONES (by 0.5 points) are FIETSCHERINGS*****!!! Congratulations on the fifth star, and a season well-played (that goes to ALL TEAMS!!) and good luck dodging the hunters in season 16 :D
Congrats also to runners-up DAQ******* who almost bagged their 8th title.. I look forward to your picking up the gauntlet next season.
All in all it was a fun night, as reiterated by our French and English guests, and as soon as the weather returns to 'normal' it should be a bit more comfortable in the back room too.

Buuuuuuut.. not only did we cheer new champions, we also bade farewell to Quizzicals who crowned their last appearance with a well-deserved 3rd place (despite sticking to round 1) and who are now going their (quizless) ways, at least for some time. I m truly gonna miss you guys, it's always been fun. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again one day.
Pünktchen +/- Arno will take their place, or at least their table.

Last but not least - CL Season 16 starts Monday 14 September, and 4-2-Won have Yogi (Friday 8pm). Till then - have a good quizless week (unless we meet at Hasenquiz).
‪#‎POTW‬ - tonight or tomorrow, have to find somet to predict... (suggestions?)

POTW for Q3#011

QUEOPS! Prediction of the Week is here. If you want to start the quiz on Monday with 5!!!! points, predict the following:

• Hertha - Werder Bremen (Fri 8.30pm)
• ManU - Newcastle (Sat 1.45pm)
• Leicester - Spurs (Sat 4pm)

2 bonus points if you get all 3 in the correct order

Send your predictions by mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com, or leave a comment here or in the fb group. Deadlines, as usual, are the respective KO times.

GO!

Florida, Fauna & Flora, First Time for Everthing, and Fietscherings' Final Foray - Q3#010

OMGOMGOMGOMG.. where do I start?
After 'earning' a Yogi last week, Quizzicals chose Florida as their 'expert' topic and due to acing that round (and most of the others) bagged the night's victory (their first first since 15 January), a nice bottle of spirits, and a massive ego boost. Proof that Round1Joker should be abandoned in favour of topical rounds? We shall see.
In the minor matter of the Champions League Season 15 title race we saw a massive shift in the force.. and the table. 2 games before the season finale Fietscherings have taken the lead, with DAQ nipping at their heels, while BallZ with yet another Streichergebnis have fallen not from grace but their little pedestal. Still, 2 games remaining and lots of things can happen.

Here is the new table, and Monday's tiebreaker approaches by Fietschs & DAQ (the correct number was even lower than announced last night at 206,056 http://commonplacebook.com/…/…/word-count-for-famous-novels/)

Oscar's Mild have Yogi (deadline is Friday 9pm), and POTW will be up as soon as I find something worth predicting ;)

Have a lovely week y'all, see you for the 'Final's Eve' next Monday.

Spanish steps & sonic screwdrivers, cow calls & DAQattack! - Q3#009

It was a fun night, despite the hellish temperatures that totally fried my brain (and my poor little laptop). Thanks to all who turned up for Q3#009 instead of lying somewhere on a beach or chilling in a biergarten.

And while overall scores were better than last week, the big winners were reigning champions DAQ******* who bagged their second win in a row and have definitely mounted a comeback. Heads up BallZ, and Fiestschs, this has become a three horse race now. Even four, if you consider that Graces are not too far off, and anything can happen in the remaining three weeks.

1. DAQ******* 91,5 
2. Pünktchen & Arno 78 
3. Cannonballs* 77 
4. Fietscherings**** 72,5 
5. Amazing Graces* 72 
6. Éire Abú 64,5 
7. Let's Get Quizzical 63,5 

Congrats also to PünktchenAndArnoMitArno who, on their third night, claimed second spot. Thanks also for the lovely Yogi topic.

That said, Yogi for Q3#010 goes to NewQuizzicals (was that a first?) who stuck with round one joker (and paid the price)... at least next week you have no choice but to take round 2, or 4. Be creative, and send me your faves by Friday noon.

And last but not least - Prediction of the Week. Rich pickings. Choose 4 of the 8 games and predict win/draw. Have fun. Have faith. (deadlines = KO times)

• Malchower SV - Germania Schöneiche (Friday 8pm)
• Energie Cottbus - Chemnitz (Saturday 2pm)
• Leverkusen - Hoffenheim (Saturday 3.30pm)
• Swansea - Newcastle (Saturday 4pm)
• Dortmund - Mönchengladbach (Saturday 6.30pm)
• Union - Kaiserslautern (Sunday 2.30pm)
• Manchester City - Chelsea (Sunday 5pm)
• Hurling, All-Ireland Semi Final, Tipperary - Galway (Sunday 5pm)

Optionally, predict the 2 finalists in this week's Netball World Cup. Deadline for this one is Friday noon. (2 points for both finalists, counts as 2 of the above games)

Looking forward to seeing you next week for the pre-pre-finals, gonna be exciting last 3 games. And some of you tomorrow for Rabbit Rätsel Runden, not sure if it'l be exciting but I intend to have fun :D

Moscow mules & Stockholm Syndromes, all about August, and DAQ are back - Q3#008

Before the weekend, and next Monday's Quiky, points and CL table after wk8.

The slightly noisy start notwithstanding it was a fun night. I particularly enjoyed the compo between LGQ (OV) and LGQ 2.0. Reigning champions DAQ******* are back to winning ways, and Quizzicals beat their 'spinoff' to bag 2nd place. Overall points were low-ish but it's still 4 weeks till end of CL season 15, and it's definitely getting interesting now...

1. DAQ******* 74
2. Let's Get Quizzical 67
3. Cannonballs* 66,5
4. Operation Goldmedaille 66
5. Amazing Graces* 63
6. Fietscherings**** 58,5
7. 4-2-Won 49
8. Pünktchen & Arno 46
9. Stube 203 19

Yogi was chosen by P&A-A on the spot. Looking forward to that particular topic, long time no do (sic).

4-2-won are out next week, we'll see if new ones are in. Have a good week till then, stay in the shade, and drink plenty... preferably non-alcoholic.

But HALT!!!! We still have points to give away, for this week's Prediction of the Week. And it's all about the beautiful game. Football proper is back and you can start with 3 points on Monday if you predict the results (win/draw/defeat) for these here games. Deadlines are the respective KO times.

• ManYoo - Tottenham (Saturday 1.45pm)
• Newcastle - Southampton (Sunday 2.30pm)
• Energie Cottbus - Mainz 05 (Sunday 8.30pm)

Send me your wild or educated guesses by mail or leave a comment here, or on fb.

Full house, Tina's Toy Boys, Scottish unicorns & 4-2-Won WON! (again) - Quiky3.0#007

Bit late but better it's been a busy week... here are Monday's points. And Yogi. And POTW.
Kurzfassung for now.
Thanks to all teams who made Monday night's quiz such fun, and apparently had much fun, too. So much so that last week's newbies Tina's Toy Boys and Dumb Ass Canucks will return for #008. And maybe some others too...

Congrats to last week's 'lasties' - 4-2-Won bagged the second victory of their quiz career, and not just due to the nice Yogi topic they picked. (Papa Hemingway, how did I never think of that myself??)

Also, glad that more Scottish people now know their national animal. The awsome unicorn!!

Dumb Ass Canucks AND/OR Tina's Toy Boys - you have Yogi. Send me (at least) 3 of your favourite topics by Sunday 9pm. To this email address.

And last (but not least) - Prediction of the Week. King Football reigns supreme once more and if you want to start with 4 points on Monday predict the winners of 4(!!!) of the following 6 games
(deadline/Einsendeschluß = respective KO times/jeweilige Anstoßzeiten)

• Chemnitz - Hansa Rostock (Sat 2pm)
• Newcastle - Mönchengladbach (Sat 4pm)
• German Super Cup, Wolfsburg - Bayern (Sat 8.30pm)
• French Super Cup, PSG - Lyon (Sat 9pm)
• English Super Cup (Community Shield), Arsenal - Chelsea (Sun 4pm)
• Dutch Super Cup, Groningen - Eindhoven (Sun 6pm)

Good Luck!

Have a lovely summer weekend, see you on Monday, preferably in/on time.

Farcical FacialFlex, (on)FireBallZ*, FUN! & FIEL Alohol. Oh, and MARVELous MURICA!!!FUCKYEAH! - Quiky3.0/004

Another fun night 'en famille', I'm so getting used to finishing early and then having time to drink. (as did some others this week ;)
GreatBallZ are ON FIRE and bagged their 2nd victory in a row. AND claimed top dawgs status. Let's see how Fietschs (who have Yogi, first time since... I can't recall) and DAQ, not to speak of Graces and Let'sTryThisAgain, react.
Congrats to 4-2-Won who came in third with a nice score that might not be Streichergebnis in the end :D

After this week's MURICANADA round we'll go French for Q3#005 as Tuesday is Quatorze Juillet (know to some of yis as 'Bastille Day').. Allons enfants!! and ALLONS-Y!!!

Morning Queops!!

After last week's very fun- and point-heavy QuiKy #002 we'll test your knowledge about all things Greek tonight. (about lots of other things too...). From Ancient Greece to current politics, sports and geography, culture & cuisine - if that's not Greek to you pop in tonight and prove it.

Griechenland bleibt drin. Bei uns heute in der 2. Runde - alles von Akropolis bis Athene, Homer bis Hades, Sparta bis Syriza, von Onassis bis Olympia, von Feta bis Fustanella. Griechenland Spezial beim Quiky. Schaut vorbei heute Abend ab 20 Uhr. Noch haben wir freie Tische.

Natürlich haben wir noch viele andere Fragen, Bilder, und Musik.. und wie immer Nuts & Shots. Vielleicht sogar Ouzo & Oliven.
And better late than never - points and CLS15 table. After 2 rounds. All still very much open :)

The gauntlet has been thrown... new Champions League adventures await

Greats Quoeps.
Pardon the tardiness in posting points but real life (of the non-quiz variety) had other plans and priorities for me.
Anyroad - last week's first 'proper' Quiky3.0 was tons of fun, ended ON TIME!!! and saw Fietscherings**** throw the gauntlet at 7-times champions DAQ******* with a nice 90+ score. Champs were probably still celebrating yet another in-team (sic) wedding but I'm sure by tonight's kick-off they will have picked up said gauntlet.
BigBallZ came second and Graces* third... basically, champs missed Yogi by 11,5 points ;)
4-2-Won won said Yogi and chose an interesting/entertaining topic.

1. Fietscherings**** 91,5
2. CannonballZ* 83,5
3. Amazing Graces* 82
4. Let's Get Quizzical 73,5
5. DAQ******* 70,5
6. 4-2-Won 59

Hoping for bonus points for artistic impression... LGQ :D














See you Monday 22 June at 8pm for Q3.0/002 with monarchs, muscles, and M-ysteries. And the usual drinks and nuts, and loads of fun. Maybe we'll get some new challengers for our old champions.

Ah, and POTW points: Graces, BallZ & DAQ start with 2 points, LGQ with all 3, Fietscherings and 4-2-Won with none ;)

Prediction of the Week - Q3.0/002

For those few queops who are not in the fb group - if you want to start Monday's Quiky with 3 points, predict the following:

Women's Footie WC, round of last 16 (Achtelfinale)pick 3 of the 5 weekend games and predict the winners/results (W/D/L)

deadlines are the respective KO times ;)

Saturday 20 JuneGermany vs. Sweden
China vs. Cameroon

Sunday 21 JuneBrazil vs. Australia
France vs. South Korea
Canada vs. Switzerland

Let's Get Quizzical.. and slightly more serious. Even if it's only a QuiKy.

Right, Queops, tonight it all begins. Again. With Quiky3.0/001.
After last week's dress rehearsal which showed us some flaws and shortcomings (which will be fixed by the time we kick off tonight), and let us find out feet (and new Stammtische) we kick off the first Quiky3.0 Champions League season in the Kilkenny Irish Pub tonight. At 8pm. Waiting to get defeated are four former (and one reigning) teams of champions, and several contenders.
We'll have a nice new batch of questions, pictures, and music as well as the usual free nuts and alcohol for losers and winners.
If you're game, find us in the Celtic room of the Kilkenny Irish Pub (or follow the noise). The earlier you're there the better the tables still available.

I'm looking forward to new challenges, challengers, and tons of fun.

Le Quiz est mort, vive le quiz. A moving announcement.

Last week saw us conclude the 14th season of Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League, and also Ye Wilde Quiz. (round-up and photos later this week)

We have now moved venue and time.

As of tonight (Monday 8 June) we shall be asking (and answering) challenging questions at QuiKy 3.0, the new (old) quiz in Kilkenny Irish Pub at Hackescher Markt.

Queople who have played the Wilde Quiz won't have to get used to new rules, most things stay they way they've been for years (good! :). People who've never had the experience - here are the general rules in English & German.
The whole QuiKy is in English and German, the topics & questions are international, 'intergenerational' ;) mix.

Our main objective is to have fun, meet old friends and new people, maybe learn a few things, and give the old brain a bit of an airing... Of course we'll also have alcohol, nuts, and more alcohol. And prizes.

Why not pop down to the old KK and check it out? We're looking forward to new faces and maybe some serious challengers for our old champions.

Any other things you want to know - find us on f***book or mail your questions & comments to this here quizmizaddress.

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN...

Just because the end is nigh.. reminders for WQ#188.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEASON 14 - THE FINAL is almost upon us.

Thursday 4 June. Oscar Wilde. Back bar.

We still have a few tables. Book if you want to be present for the big showdown between 6-times champions DAQ and challengers Cannonballs (aka BigBallZonFire)

PUSSYCLUB still have a few hours to send me their Yogi topics. If I don't get any I'll pick all 3 rounds.

For reservations, cancellations, comments & questions PLEASE use our email address quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

See you soon.

BTW - points & table & stuff here tomorrow.

Sober stags, iRound, Games People Play, or How We Beat Our Champions - WQ#185

Well, well, well ... what a penultimate quiz.

Once again a massive THANK YOU to all teams ... despite the minor hiccups before KO, and the somewhat late-ish finish it was a marvelous night. I haven't had that much fun for ages... lovely new teams, erudite Ersatz-Graces, and good points all round.

BRILLIANT POINTS (and not just in their HIMYM Yogi round!!!) for the team that finally lived up to its name

4-2-Won WON!!!! and beat DAQ******!!!
Congratulations, you guys rock!!! 

Ersatz-Graces - lovely :)

SO seh'n Sieger aus :)

1. 4-2-WON 90
2. DAQ****** 88,5
3. Cannonballs* 82,5
4. Pünktchen +/- Arno 78
5. Let's Get Quizzical 76,5
6. Amazing Graces*75,5
7. Xtra Sausage 64
8. King Georg 61
9. J.E.L.P. 59
10. Twin Tub 47,5

The gap between DAQ and BallZ has widened ever so slightly to 4 points, but is by no means insurmountable, and the promise of a GRANDE FINALE makes my mental mouth water. Said final, if all goes to plan, is on next week. I can only say for verysuresure on Wednesday evening.. in case of 'teething troubles' we'll play the 12th and final round on 4 June.
Right - here's the table and pics then, and since I assume neither JELP nor Twin Tub will return next week, Yogi is all mine, all mine. Believe me, I'll find something :D

Prediction of the week for WQ#187As usual at this time of the year - Grangpriöhrovisjongdellaschampsongöhropejenn, aka Jurowischen. (or Eurovision Song Contest 2015)
Vienna calling...
For 3 points in the 'Grand Final' on Thursday - predict Saturday's

• first place
• last place
• Germany's place (+/-2)

Deadline for your wild or educated guesses is Saturday 8pm.

And now there's nothing left to say but - HAVE A LOVELY LONG WEEKEND, see you next Thursday for the big showdown :D
