Here's the deets about the next show!

The trivia contest will be Jeopardy-style, so that means three rounds of questions, and we'll have our winner. In case of a tie, we'll have a tie-breaker. All of the questions will be related to Star Wars (imagine!), but also about yours truly, Voice of the Republic. As in Jeopardy, you MUST answer in the form of a question. If not, your correct answer will just help the person behind you.

Gameplay:
The show will be done using the TalkShoe chat system. Live listeners will log into the chat at 9:00 PM EST. This will hopefully allow more fans to join us from Western time zones. Anyone who logs in after the actual game has started (not just the show) cannot play the rest of the game, but may take part in the chat.

Each round has 6 categories and 5 questions for each category. The top 5 winners of the first round will move onto the next round. The top 4 winners of Round 2 will move on to round 3, and the winner of round 3 is THE King Shit Know-it-all.

Players will type their name into the chat window, select all, and copy it. This saves time for typing. VOR will ask the question in the chosen category, and ask it out loud. Once the question is spoken and finished, the players have 3 seconds to answer. Players answer by sending their name via chat (hence the paste and send tip). VOR will not recognize the blurting of answers or names, as it's confusing and annoying to sort out. If a player doesn't know the answer, VOR shall ring a buzzer, and the remaining players can then enter their names into the chat, and then answer when called upon.

Prizes:
Top 5 players will receive prizes TBD by VOR. Sorry, but really you'll get something fun.
Grand Prize Winner: Sideshow Collectibles Bespin Luke Skywalker 12" Figure. No shit!

All you need is a computer (you seem to have that), a mic, earphones, and ShoePhone from Talkshoe.com

Good luck, and see you there!

Tomorrow I'll post blank point sheets for tomorrow night's game. It'll have the categories, but no questions. I mean answers. YOU supply the questions. IF not...
