This is, essentially, the rebirth of my pride and joy.. the Video Game Quiz.
I'm sure a few of you remember participating the last time I was active. You all had fun, right?!
Anyway, RTOA stands for Random Trivia Of Awesome(ness). It will apply the same sort of rules and... applications of the last one. Except there can now be questions about anything! Exciting! Right? No? .... =/
_________________________________________________________ **UPDATED** Feb. 14th, 2010
Reason: Revised Bomb rules
Question Guidelines
Okay, so. I shall name three categories and supply three questions in each. Each question is letter coded (A, B and C).
"A" questions involve using common sense or having simple general knowledge on the subject. They will most likely take the form of a True or False question, or a "Name the x amount of whatever" question. These are worth 1 point.
"B" questions will require you to have experienced the subject in some form to be able to answer them correctly. They normally take the form of a standard question or a "Name the x amount of whatever," although slightly more difficult. These are worth 2 points.
"C" questions need you to have learned about the subject in some way. Or at least read about it a lot. They vary in form and, usually, will require a substantial amount of extra knowledge. These are worth 3 points.
The Codeword
I will name a "codeword", as I call it, that which, whenever I place it anywhere in one of my next posts, you can point it out to gain a 3 point bonus.
It will be displayed directly above the questions, that location doesn't count. It's there every time, you can't say it's right there to get free points. If it's somewhere else in my post (not including quotes), you may point it out to get a bonus.
Edits do not count, either. You must point it out in your original post.
Bombs
There will also be "bombs" returning. Where if you answer a series of questions (usually 5-10) correctly: you get the option to "bomb" someones points. Normally, that would mean setting their points to zero, but instead will reduce them by half. Mind you, if you get even one of the questions wrong, you've lost your one and only chance to bomb someone.
To gain points:
1. Answer questions, one at a time, from one of the three categories
2. PM me a set of questions, you will gain two points for this. But you are not allowed to answer questions in your own category, you may still answer in one of the two remaining.
A couple rules:
1. Try not to Google answers.
2. You may answer ONE question at a time. (Not one in each category, just one per poster)
AND IT BEGINS!

Sorry for the irrelevant post, in the sense that I won't answer any of them, because I don't have a clue about most of them. But do you seriously expect people to NOT Google the questions? I doubt that bro.
Okay there's exceptions for these ones. Normally there's easier questions up there, but I've changed the rule to try not to google answers. I can see now that a lot of people will need to.
But come on...
A.) Name a food that ends in amburger
EDIT: I have redone the questions, hopefully someone can answer these ones.
I don't really care if you google the answers, but it's much more fun if you just try to guess or if you actually know. Makes if fair for everyone that way.
