you could say he beat us like a drum, or a red headed step child. Or maybe he beat us like a common yard dog.Last night’s Wednesday chat can best be described as:
“loosely supervised chaos.”
@curious2garden hosted and somehow managed to run an entire trivia night without a tiebreaker question AGAIN. Thankfully the universe spared us from complete collapse this time.
Congratulations to @Starecase on the win with an impressive 6 points. Authorities are still investigating possible shenanigans, but no official charges have been laid.
@Laddy came in second and remains suspiciously consistent at knowing things.
I finished third, which under normal circumstances would be disappointing… HOWEVER:
– I was forced onto an iPad
– Siropu chat on mobile is basically a survival horror game
– my laptop was occupied
– and frankly I’m choosing to blame technology entirely.
Meanwhile Shane got completely skunked, which honestly healed me spiritually after last week.
Huge shoutout to @DMChiz for popping into chat on his birthday night to hang with us for a bit even with family stuff going on. That was genuinely awesome of you!
Anyway… normalcy returns next Wednesday when I’m back hosting.
Please prepare yourselves accordingly.
Yes, it's important to re-orient one's perspective from time to time
Wednesday Chat: 8–10pm Eastern
Oh that's right - I won it last week. Totally forgot ...
Don't make me break the server again! I will you know.Last week’s Wednesday chat ended with what experts are calling a “deeply concerning” amount of chaos.
There were winners.
There were losers.
There were accusations.
And there was once again NO tiebreaker question from @curious2garden, a pattern investigators continue to monitor closely.
@Starecase walked away with the victory and is now carrying himself with the confidence of someone who definitely hasn’t let it go all week.
@Laddy once again proved suspiciously knowledgeable.
@Shane was skunked, which frankly should never happen and may require a full review of the scoring process.
Tonight however...
Normalcy returns.
I’m back hosting.
Order will be restored.
Questions will have answers.
Tiebreakers will exist.
And I can assure everyone that tonight’s game will be run with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
(Please ignore all future allegations of rigging.)
Come hang out, talk grows, laugh, and participate in what will almost certainly become another completely legitimate and professionally supervised evening.
I think I took an oath - I would have to report that to People for the Ethical Treatment of Servers.
OMG you took the sysadmin oath!! Well shit, I'm doomed
All your server are belong to us!I'm gonna have to take both of your lunch money.
I always trim with oven mitts, use of hands is a crutch, i stand by the Goggins approach to growing and smoking.Last night’s chat featured one of the closest trivia battles we’ve had in a while… and naturally ended in controversy.
Congratulations to @Starecase on the win and his SECOND straight trivia title. However… records will show he left early despite having more points than remaining questions.
Which raises serious competitive integrity concerns.
Many people are saying his back-to-back championship deserves an asterisk.
I’m not saying that…
…but many people are.
Meanwhile @curious2garden and @Milky Weed finished only two points behind in a very respectable showing.
And yes — for everyone keeping score at home:
A TIEBREAKER QUESTION WAS READY.
Unused.
Prepared.
Waiting.
Perhaps I can loan this mysterious “11th question technology” to @curious2garden for one of her future hosting nights.
@Shane Karmann officially broke his skunk streak, proving that perseverance, determination, and randomly yelling letters can eventually pay off.
Huge shoutout to @Rocket Soul for joining us for his first Wednesday chat! Unfortunately he attempted trivia on mobile, which in Siropu Chat is roughly equivalent to trying to trim with oven mitts on.
@DarkWeb believes I cheated him out of a point.
I did not.
BUT…
the fact he immediately suspected corruption tells me I may be onto something for a future game format.
Still rigged.
And finally @laddyd consumed enough edibles to temporarily leave our dimension, yet still managed to grab a point before ascending to the astral plane.
Overall:
great laughs
great turnout
great chaos
Thanks everyone for making it fun
Oh, it definitely is and need you to tell me where i sign up.
Up by two with only one Q left?
So ... it's really just ME winning?I don't think we were playing baseball last night
