So, as some of you might know, after chronicdiscord's departure I have made a new group for all the future trivias.

September 6th - theme of spelunking, hosted by Samsterz, prize of Spelunky, sponsored by Nudiustertian
Somewhere in the future - theme of Lindsey Stirling, hosted by me

Note: Just so that there wouldn't be any confusion about that, trivias will be hosted in Trivia Knights group chat, not in S.Gifts chat.
Extra note: You don't have to be a group member to participate in trivias, but we will make announcements before trivias start, so you might want to join.

All the S. Gifts chat rules exist here too, along with all the old trivia rules and an extra new one. Breaking any of those rules will result in a ban from that trivia and continuing to break the rules will result in permanent ban from the group. So here they are, in all their glory:

Zero: As with a site quiz, don't give other people answers.

One: Answering a question with a valid answer earns you a point, answering a Trick Question by pointing out it is a trick and explaining why gains you two points, answering a question with a detailed response as judged by the Trivia Master de jour will earn you two points, getting the special detailed answer after someone gets a valid answer will still earn you a single point.

As an example:

12:16 PM - chronicdiscord: We all know the Grimace is a citizen of McDonaldland, but what was he when originally introduced?
12:16 PM - Deirü: Alive.
12:16 PM - Judge Jade: An evil villain
12:17 PM - MMRhino: He was a fast food worker
12:17 PM - cg: an insect-like villain that stole milkshakes

Now, here we see cg giving The Right One™, but after Jade gave one that worked... What happens here is that both Jade and cg get a single point, had cg's come in first, he would have gotten both points.

Two: The objective of Trivia Night is to obtain a position in the Top Ten of those participating that night, thus earning you a slot in a ten slot private giveaway. In the event of low scoring players having a tie, we will run a small elimination round to ensure we only have 10 entries for the giveaway. If anyone else answers, correctly or falsely, in this time, it's a ban, we don't want anyone mucking up Trivia Night. Before asking a question the Trivia Master will block all chatting, unblock, then ask the question, then you answer, this prevents people from complaining about anyone getting a head start with their answers and gives you all a clear sign that the question is incoming.

Three: While Trivia is running, the Trivia Master's name will be green, because they will be running a game in the background. You will not be green, only the Trivia Master gets to talk and be green, this is to ensure no confusion for people as to when official Trivia stuff is being said.

Four: No spamming answers. You can only give one answer per person per minute, any more and you are considered to be spamming. This is based on the Trivia Master's screen and what their timestamps say. There is no other way around this, it's harsh, but it's the best we can do. Any copypasta of longer than 15 characters will be treated as spam and dealt with accordingly. Spamming answers will have all your answers be ignored.

Five: The first to answer gets the point, based on what the Trivia Master sees, you complain, we ban, and no, there will be no kick step on this. You may request a recheck, no one's eyes are perfect, but don't go moaning about being pingfucked, that's not cricket.

Six: If you complain about the questions, you get kicked without warning. There have been way too many Trivia Nights where we see nothing but people saying, "ask more questions about things I know!" You are missing the point and you are being incredibly rude to the people asking the questions and putting up the prizes.

Seven: No intentional disrupting of trivia. Continuously trying to disrupt the trivia will result in a ban.

As fair warning, often times the trivia questions asked may qualify as spoilers to the things which they deal with, so if we have a topic you are interested in going into without it being spoiled, you may not want to show up for that night. If you're really interested in seeing Girls und Panzer without it being spoiled, skip Girls und Panzer night.
