[Dept. of Education]eAustralian International Trivia Comp
Aus Ministry of Finance
I invite all eAustralians and friends of eAustralians to join us for an international trivia competition. The competition will be held in #eAussieTrivia on irc (Rizon network), commencing at the start of day (game time) 1 June or day 1655 eRep time, and will run for a duration of 7 days. The irc bot will be online 24hrs a day, barring any connection issues.
The competition will be run with an irc Trivia bot, which will keep the stats of all participants. Stats will be collected daily at eRep day change, and generous random daily prizes will be handed out for that days participants, including gold, cc, or other items. Please remember that daily prizes will be random and at the discretion of the organisers, but prizes may be handed out for things such as the quickest answer for the day, or perhaps most correct answers in a row, but you will not need to have the highest score to win a prize.
For the grand prizes, however, at the end of the week, the participants with the highest scores will receive the 1st prize of 8 gold, 2nd prize 4 gold, and 3rd prize 1 gold.
There is no entry fee, this competition is being funded entirely by the eAustralian government and its Citizens. We wish only to welcome our friends and allies for some fun together, and of course a bit of a bonus if you have some general knowledge.
Please be aware that the competition will be English based, and no exceptions for language barriers will be made. Also, the bots answers may not be 100%, and we hold no responsibility for typos in the answers, or incorrect answers, the bots answers are final. I would also advise that all participants use their in game name as their irc nick for the duration of this competition. If you are eligible for a prize and I cannot find you in game, I will award the prize to someone else.
We look forward to seeing you all there for heaps of fun.

@Pap25pas, they will need to be damned fast, each question is alotted 45secs max, it gives up to 3 hints, and of course you will have who knows how many people in channel trying to answer. I dont think google will be much of a worry.
awesome, looking forward to hanging out with you guys! I've been to Australia IRL and loved it! Will be glad to spend time with my eAussie friends as well
I'll be there!
Sweet idea. I will be there 🙂

You can Google the answers
Rename competition to who Googles the fastest.
@Formic, as I said ealier, the bot runs the questions too fast to allow google to be an advantage, and with 100 other people in channel trying to answer, I think alt-tabbing out to google would be a disadvantage. Perhaps you should stop by and check it out so you can learn how it works.
Good idea guys. Your channels are going to get hammered.
exciting, wish I can make it
