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.

1. CannonballZ* 80,5
2. Fietscherings***** 76
3. DAQ******* 75
4. Graces* 69
5. Pünktchen +/- Arno 71,5
6. Feid Club 54,5
7. Crazy Pumpkins 48

Crazy Pumpkins got their first Yogi (please do send me a mail with at least 3 suggestions .. NO more 'celebrity person' rounds, no quantum physics, no boy bands ;) by Saturday 14 November. And just in case - if Pumpkins don't return on 19 November, Feid Club can send me 3 topics too.

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.

Small balls, massive points - Prediction of the Week WQ#189

Also, for 1 bonus point - how many goals will be scored in all those 8 games together? ‪#‎plusminusgarnichts‬

Good luck. See you Thursday!

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)
