Geek Jeopardy 2011

[Kitteninstrings]

Geek Jeopardy is a go this year!

Where: Whaleback

When: Friday   11am - 1pm

What I need: A few geeky contestants! ^_^ Who's up for the challenge?

[DevilAcolyte]

I'm not exactly the most savvy of nerds, but I think I could give it a shot ^.^

[Nanukana]

I would like to be in it! It would be fun!

[Kitteninstrings]

Thanks you 2!

As in previous years, I'm going to have matching categories that stick to the theme of the con. And a few that are popular and just plain silly. ^_^

I will try to keep the questions as easy as possible that people will be able to guess them. Especially the 100 - 300 point questions.

As we get closer I'll also post a list of possible categories.

[Junai_no_alex]

Can I cosplay as Watson?

[Kitteninstrings]

 You can if you want. Those were some pretty interesting episodes. ^_^

You can even answer questions like he does. Though no using a computer to google answers. ^p^

I participated in the last one and the means of "buzzing in" was incredibly awkward... especially considering I had to grab the mic from the daughter of one of the contestants who happened to be sitting right next to me at the time, the contestant in question being one of the two security chairs (talk about intimidating!). I was just wondering if we'll have traditional buzzers this time or no?

[Kitteninstrings]

The buzzer system from last year has since been revamped. (I had an actual one but the cat decided it looked delicious and thus there were none. )

We now have a good means of doing buzzers this year. HOPEFULLY they will work... If not we might have a hand raise judge... or 2

[Ugly Bob]

I'm definitely hoping to be a contestant again! This panel definitely helped make Thursday an awesome day last year!

Here's hoping we can still do that physical challenge idea I had. I'll have to look it up, but it was designed to help prevent one contestant from sweeping a category that they might know better than the others. True, but do they know it better than everyone in the room?

[Kitteninstrings]

Okay SO! Sound off! I have:

DevilAcolyte
Nanukana
Ugly Bob

are you 3 definite?

And Junai and Hakuro were you interested? or just amused?

[Ugly Bob]

I'm a definite! Thanks for including me again this year. Hope it is really popular again!

[Hakuro de Killer]

If we have legit buzzers, I'll most certainly give it a shot! Hopefully this time I can keep my mouth shut when it comes to cracking a joke about Stargate...

[Kitteninstrings]

Awesome! I'll keep you all updated on the buzzer system. ^_^

Also, are there any requests for Categories?

[Usagiangel]

Old School! Questions about the original Zelda or early anime.

[Hakuro de Killer]

Final Fantasy. Preferably the earlier stuff like IV-VI moreso than VII and VIII. Not that I don't know them, but I fear that the older series (read: Final Fantasy V) don't get as much love as they should.

Shonen Jump. Anything from a manga series that is/was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump.

DC Comics. Just started getting into the lore and I find it quite fascinating. I'd like to put my knowledge of that subject to the test.
