    Fair enough, understandable then. Sorry to hear about your brother and everything since.

    Still, the advice stands if this situation arises again.

    That TTH Awards GS hosted was the best one we did. When 'Tobias' got on the podium for Most Boring (or Most Overrated or whatever it was) you could feel him buzzing through the screen.

    I remember that. He was having a meltdown and desperately tried to hide it.

    Assuming you're still in regular contact with him on your whatsapp group, does he never think of coming back? Why'd he stop posting anyway?

    Vaguely on the topic, I did a quarantine pub quiz earlier with my m8s which was fine (we had 1 quizmaster rather than many, though), and I've had other quarantine video calls with family etc - all I can say is that although it's better than nothing, my god is it nowhere near the experience of being with people in person. Nowhere near.

    Having not done conferencing etc before I thought it would be a close second but it really isn't.

    Aye I get that, but I actually much preferred the actual quiz with my boiz cus we're all dorks with similar levels of intelligence, and a similar obsessive appreciation of the META of quizzes. Most pub quizzes we've done IRL have led to us mostly moaning about awfully worded questions, poor difficulty balance, etc.

    The absolute worst quiz we did had about 7 teams. We got about 90% right and finished 2nd last. Wtf is that.

    Or, my personal pet peeve in quizzes, is musical intro rounds where some people will nail it within a few seconds, but the quizmaster let's the fucking song run for practically a whole verse and chorus by which point every cunt has it.

    For a taster I'll share the round I wrote:



    In case you dont spot it, every person has the initials T.P. in honour of the great toilet paper shortage of 2020.

    I was utter dogshit in the one I did earlier (still came 4th/12, but I'd expect top 2 against those simpletons). My brain is addled from this lockdown.

    As an example I've been trying to think of that astronaut's surname for the last ten minutes and all I can come up with is Tim Palin. And for the chess player I have 'Tiger Petrosian', as if he moonlights fist-pumping on the greens. I need to soak in cold water for a month.

    You have come the closest to getting the chess player by an absolute mile, and I've given these questions to about 14 people. It's Tigran, and I mostly just put that q in as a token dickhead impossible question, so I'd have probably given you the point.

    Average score was 4, highest 6.

    Yeah. I mean, with that one I just happen to know it (chess 50s-90s is a weird niche speciality) - but normally I'd either know something or I wouldn't. Currently I'm in a haze of vagueness where I am unable to summon the things I do know.

    I got 2.5 out of 10 on the cricket round earlier and couldn't remember who MS Dhoni was, ffs.

    Hey @igor_balis in the subject of quizzing over zoom or whatever, how do you deal with marking the answers to prevent cheating?

    Yeah as @Kikó alludes to, trust is the easiest method. It helps that my gang of pals would never cheat, out of a pathetic nerdy respect of the integrity of quizzes, but just to put everyone's minds at rest we've been generally following the system of:

    1. everyone writes their answers on their computer
    2. everyone copies and pastes and PMs them to @Bam the quizmaster
    3. everyone marks their own, and reads out their scores

    That way, even if you can't be arsed to actually check them, the option is there if you smell a rat, or someone bitter moans about another person's high score.

    3 is the only non-boring option. If you're cheating on a Zoom quiz at this point in proceedings then there is no hope for you anyway.

    Oh. The ones I've done you just mark yourself. To be honest I couldn't even give a shit if other people cheat, it's just a way of 'seeing' each other and passing the time without the 'So...' awkwardness that remote video socialising creates.

    You probably should give a shit if your family cheating has you questioning the entire basis of your personality.

    If you think there's any need for me to be consistent with statements made in different threads then you are mistaken. That was a few hours ago, anyway, before the martians landed.

    And my family is basically just me and my mum, so unless i wanna do a quiz that entirely consists of clips from escape to the country where she has to guess the value of the bougie bullshit house featured, I can't see her being that interested.

    We're two weeks into our family quiz. We came last (just) in the first week, scoring 24/50. My sister and her fiance won, meaning they hosted last week. That was a much harder quiz and we scored a mid-table/bottom half 19 (scores ranging between 14 and 26), with my parents winning overall. My dad's given me a hint this week to learn about the counties.

    We do number three from the list above: just mark our own.

    We send answers at the end of each round to the quizmaster, who then tots up the scores. I somehow won the music quiz last night with a score of 109/180. I expected to come dead last, but we only really did pop and rock songs.

    If anyone wants to know what my family is like, the winning score in yesterday's affair was 17/40 (my last placed total was 11.5) and my sports round was the highest scoring round at an average of 4/10 (only one of the other 6 people is a sports fan).

    One of the rounds was there were screenshots of sheet music, i.e. musical notation, and we had to identify the piece/song and who wrote it. I can read music well and scored zero.

    One of them I managed to work out what it was, but couldn't remember what the thing was actually called (turned out to be the Skater's Waltz). There was also something by the Bee Gees, and something by Britney Spears (for that one, I guessed Handel).

    But yeah, the person who set that round should set himself on fire. He doesn't even like music, he just fancied a spot of sadism.

    There's an assumption I'll always do well in the sports round, whereas in reality I'm average and would be just as likely to score higher on history, geography, film or music. We've started with a picture round the past two weeks: week one it was children's TV programmes (many from our generation) and last week it was flags of the world. Even on the flags I only managed six which was a great disappointment. Arts and literature I'm pretty much useless.

    My sister made a point that you're only *supposed* to score around 40% on a quiz. If and when I host I've created some zany literacy and maths SATs based questions, partly for my own amusement but I'm genuinely interested in whether people can answer them.
