Buzz!

[jordanisonfire]

So, I got the idea from the Buzz! game. Basically, we do this in rounds and it's like a quiz show, where the winner of the last round in the presenter and question-maker (I'll be the presenter in the first round). When we've reached the deadline of the registration, the players will be on their own, in a quiz show. I ask a question, then the first person to answer that question correctly will score one point. They must include "Buzz!" at the beginning of their post. The first person to ten points is the winner. So, anyone interested? :)

Current Players:

TNCowgirl - 0 Points
GeorgeMichael - 4 Points
Nyx - 4 Points
Carraka - 1 Points
Rafael Domination - 7 Points

Entry is now CLOSED! No applying and no posting unless you're in the list. Any questions, PM me.

[Tncowgirl]

[Nyx]

Sounds fun! and you know I'm all for this kind of stuff... so I'm in!

[Carraka]

I'll play also!

[Rafael Domination]

So...when's the deadline?

[jordanisonfire]

Umm... well we have more than enough players now. Shall we say Thursday?

[Rafael Domination]

What time? :D My clock might be hours ahead of yours and I really don't want thing competition to go on while I'm asleep...

[GeorgeMichael]

Yeah... how about Saturday... Is that the first of December? That would be the best day, any of those good ol' after November days. :)

[Nyx]

I'm not going to be home saturday night, can we make it begin in morning?

[Rafael Domination]

It's six o'clock in BC...what time is it in your place?

[GeorgeMichael]

[Rafael Domination]

Oohh...So you're two hours ahead...(yay, I can do Math)

How about you guys?

[Nyx]

I live in BC too so its actually 6:50PM right now.

[Rafael Domination]

Well, whaddaya know...you're actually dead on...(I got my timing from the channel 2 T.V. listings...)

[Nyx]

Well, whaddaya know...you're actually dead on...(I got my timing from the channel 2 T.V. listings...)

yes I am proud of my timing skills:D

[jordanisonfire]

Well, I'm in England, so when I post the question, you'll have all night to have a guess at it. Bearing in mind, though, the first person to post an actual Buzz! answer will have to wait until I give the thumbs up or thumbs down. All of you will have to wait until I do that.

[jordanisonfire]

Ok, so, we'll begin tonight! So, here's the first question:

What is the most common kind of Wolf?

[GeorgeMichael]

Buzz


Grey Wolf

[Nyx]

Don't you actually have to include you answer with the Buzz! ?

[GeorgeMichael]

I don't know I thought I said BUzz and then had to wait for him to call on me :)

I'm a goody two shoes like that I never blurt out answers

[Nyx]

I don't know I thought I said BUzz and then had to wait for him to call on me :)

I'm a goody two shoes like that I never blurt out answers

I ask a question, then the first person to answer that question correctly will score one point. They must include "Buzz!" at the beginning of their post. The first person to ten points is the winner. So, anyone interested? :)

I'm pretty sure you're sopoused to post the answer ;)

[GeorgeMichael]

ok, I edited it :)

[Nyx]

Grey Wolf? Hmm.. I thought it'd be like Cayote, but then again, I shouldn't really trust my own judgement:P

[jordanisonfire]

You can't edit it, George. First person to say the correct answer with the word 'Buzz!' at the beginning of the post gets it.

[Nyx]

Buzz!

Grey wolf


(wait I did have the right to still George's answer there right?:P)

[Rafael Domination]

Arrgh! I was too late! :D

[Nyx]

But we don't even know if the answer is correct...atleast I don't, I just shamelessly stole George's answer:P

[GeorgeMichael]

Awww :( Oh well, if it is right then there's always the next question

[jordanisonfire]

Nyx is correct! And yes, you can steal other people's answers, but that doesn't make them right. I'll also make no indication as to whether they are right or wrong. Now, next question:

What is the name of the species of the largest squids in the world and where are they found?

[Carraka]

Whoa. I almost forgot about this.

Buzz!

Colossal squids, and they're found--in the southern ocean places? Like, not in a specific ocean, but near Antarctica and stuff .... Except they're not really found as much as -- oh, never mind.

[Nyx]

I would have never known the answer to the squid question.

[jordanisonfire]

Correct! Next question:
