Trivia match? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I can't say how good I'd be any more than you can, Legate. I don't do much quizzing, as you said.

I have not read Unfinished Tales. I've read the Silm once and the LotR an Hobbit several times. (Those are the four books, right?)

My only suggestion is that you split Fin and I up. We're sisters and live together, so that could be an unfair advantage to the other team if we were together.

Agreed. And we are probably about equal.

So the obvious way to make the new teams would be
Legate + Finduilas + Mac + Rune
and
Gil + Lommy + Gwathagor + Folwren, I guess.

I think that's slightly unfair, so what about
Legate + Finduilas + Gwathagor + Rune
and
Gil + Lommy + Mac + Folwren?

I would (no offense

) consider Mac a more "dangerous" (see what werewolf has done to me

) player than Gwathagor since it seems to me that his "inactivity" in quiz room has been more because of lack of enthusiasm than lack of knowledge. And he is less of a black horse than Gwathagor who has not posted much in the Quiz Room, being quite a new member. So changing Mac's and Gwathagor's teams would possible balance it a bit, since the team with Legate and Rune will have two "quizroom champions" while the other will have just one (Gil).

What do you guys think of the teams I proposed? Are they unfair in either way? Would they work?

Any other/better suggestions?

Your second sugestion seemed fine to me.

Well, there we have it.
If everyone is ready, we can start, though I want all to post that they are ok with the teams.

Once we get that out of the way I shall PM the first question.
I've decided that each team shall have 48 hours time from when I PMed the members to send their answer with or without a quote.

The answer, just like the quote are final, and no changes to the answer are allowed.

Actually, my inactivity in the Quiz Room is mostly because I find it very hard to come up with interesting questions myself.

Are you sure you want to play with 2 teams of 4 players, and not 4 teams of 2 players instead? I'm okay with two, but four teams look more exciting to me - and more challenging for each team.

What about
Legate + Gwathagor
Finduilas + Rune
Gil + Folwren
Lommy + Mac?
