In which we get too cocky, beanplate our answers, and lose by a furlong. JK JK LOL we'll win again.
Ah thanks for the wiki. I'm a bit behind on inside MeFi stuff, I'll do my best to catch up.
I've been enjoying these trivia games, trivia victories are a good way for me to increase my glory and honor.

How does it work if a random seattle mefite shows up but doesn't fit into the right number of people for a team? Can they just sit at the table and watch or make jokes between rounds?

Also, if said random mefite let people know they were coming before the event and we were over 6 people, we'd split into two teams. It worked out great last time!
Hylea and I are maybes this week.

Who was it who recommended The Wake to me in person? I bought a copy, I'm super excited for it.

To clarify what MoonOrb wrote above, if you RSVP that you're Attending (not Maybe) and a) show up by 7:55 or b) post here that you'll be there but are running late, whoever is there will make sure there are enough teams to accommodate everyone, be it one team of 6, 3 + 4, or whatever. You just need to affirm that you're coming.

Like, there are no set teams or whatever, but if we have six when it kicks off and no one knows you're coming, we can't divide into multiple teams after the fact. Any and all MeFites are welcome!

Since I have never done trivia before and mostly everyone had abandoned ship, I think I will be too.

Well, as expected, it was respectable but still a loss. Although we did get an honorable mention for guessing that John Kasich's show on Fox News was called "Sex Talk."
Thanks to clew and my two subs, Camille and Tim. Hopefully see you next week.

Hey, is anyone planning on coming out this week? We don't seem to have a new event.
