CanJoeCon Trivia Contest
« on: July 23, 2010, 03:12:42 PM »

For anyone who saw the Trivia Contest on the schedule of events and was wondering what it entailed, here is the format:

If any of you have ever done a charity trivia night, it's the same basic style just cut in half to fit a one hour time slot.  

There will be 5 rounds with 10 questions each round.  Just so you know what to prepare for, here are the categories:
CanJoeCon/JoeCanuck
Vehicles
International  (international joes outside of North America)
Movies (this can be RoC or any other Joe cartoon movie)
Out of scale (questions about non 3 3/4" joes)
Filecards
Marvel Comics
Cartoons  
WHOBIT  (a nod to yojoe's accessory guide.  You'll get a picture of an accessory and have to name which joe it goes to)

I'm leaving the final category up to you guys.  Post up what category you'd like to see on here and the most popular one gets it.  

Each question is worth one point, 10 points in a round, and in each round you can designate a mulligan (basically if you get the question you've designated as the mulligan wrong, you don't lose a point).  So a perfect score in the game is 50.

You can play individually or form into groups of up to 3.  Just remember that the prizes are usually single items not easily split up, so if you wanna go for the gold yourself you can, but if you want to play socially, and then fight over the spoils :D  you can do that as well.

The prizes:
Grand Prize is a MIB Desert Cycle with Sandstorm from the canceled Target line
Second Prize is a Clear Wraith Variant from the 25th Anniversary line
Third Prize is a Canceled Elite Ice Viper figure

There will also be prizes each round by drawing for the knick knack table.

My suggestion for the tenth category would be the 3 3/4" figures.

Sounds good to me, I just didn't want to overload it with 3 inch stuff.  I guess you're right though, given all the prizes are figures, making it figure heavy is fine. 

If anyone wants to donate any comics/dvd's whatever to the door prize list we can always give out more, I just don't have much to add to that area.

At the end of the schedule, there is also something about "Cross Continent Cobra Capture Classic (CCCCC) Winner Announced*".

What's this about.....?

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

Nothing big, just a cross-site, cross-continent contest that's been going on for months now.  :wink:

It's covered in that link I posted :

Quote from: "roshan"
Each basic trooper found will be worth one entry into the great drawing, while every cobra raid leader (four total) will be worth three entries into the grand drawing. The drawing will be held at the GIJoe Canada Con in August and the winner will receive a Cobra Terrordrome with Avac and Firebat. You will not need to be present to win, I will ship it to you.

Additionally, the forum that finds the most figures by the end of the contest I will donate $50 to help fund their server costs. So when you find a figure and you post it on the site of your choice, that will be one tally for that collector group.  If you post straight to the blog, you can designate which site you belong to if you wish. 

There are further prizes in the contest, but they need to be discovered as figures are found by the clues they give. So go out there and let's hunt some Cobras!
