Come on in, one and all! The hearth is hot, the Sleeping Shamrock is bustling with warmth and life. The air's thick with all sorts of smells, hot soups and fresh pastries and various potent potables ranging from winter wine to batarian shardwine, ryncol to grog, T'Keela to tequila, high-grade to sake to berduskan ale to mead to...
Well, it's the Sleeping Shamrock, name your drink of choice and Linah will be able to find it somewhere behind her counter, no matter who you are, where you're from, or what you want. Sometimes the Illogical Field decides to be helpful, not often, but those times do exist.
Find yourself a seat, too, by the fire for warmth, or by a window if you prefer it cooler or with a view of the outside world, rain lashing the glass in stark contrast to the coziness within.
"Alright everyone!" Linah calls out, clapping her hands to get the room's attention. Things fall quiet as people look her way. "There's a little tradition from my world we like to call the pub quiz, and I'm bringin' it here! Here's how it works. Solo or team doesn't matter, really. I give you questions, you write down answers and give them to me. Correct answers get prizes. Sounds simple, right?"
She grins at the gathered crowd, and she and her daughter -- Zhi, nearly thirteen -- start passing out writing implements and scrap paper, of which there are plenty if anyone needs more later.
Hello and welcome!
No, this is not actually an IC thread, despite the intro. XD I was just trying to make it interesting. No, no, you won't be replying here, see below.
Every so often I will put a new question or question-like thing (name XX of YY...) at the bottom of this post, along with possible prizes.
You will PM the answers to me, Heron, Heron .
Prizes are awarded, much like the Enigma, at update. I change the quiz, and a reply post comes up under this one with the last question, the relevant answers, and winning participants (with won prizes in a spoiler tag).
Mostly prizes will number among BP and shop coins, but every now and again...well. You know me. I hate being boring and sticking to the basics.
If you're wondering why this when also Enigma, however, it's because the Enigma is a very broad challenge. Kay asks all sorts of interesting things about all sorts of things, ranging from why there are twelve months to the origins of Halloween to the symbolism of the Olympic flag. For two questions, the Enigma was site-focused, and that was where this was born. The Shamrock Pub Quiz is only going to be asking you things that are Sunder-specific, so be prepared to answer questions about characters, shinies, site lore, and other things unique to our carefully-constructed little world. ^^
The Posted Quiz
QUESTION: What species in our Database are funny about how they speak, be that TALKING LIKE THIS ortalkinglikethis or maybes talks not so goods, or not at all even if they have the ability? 10 Shop Coins per answer, and if you get them ALL, you get a free Dream Cloud!
