Trek Trivia Event! (Number Two)

On December 23rd, 2012, Fleet Captains Voleron and Traull, hosted Stonewall Fleet's second impromptu Trek Trivia event, on board Captain Traull's command vessel, the USS Surprise!

At 3:00 PM PDT / 6:00 PM EST, nineteen members of Stonewall Fleet filled the mess hall of the cramped, Defiant class ship, and participated in a 50 question, Star Trek trivia event! The first participant to correctly answer each question, was awarded a point, until all fifty questions were presented!

Thanks again to all who participated!

This event was one of the best Fleet event I have ever attended!

I congratulate my fellow participants, and most especially, the organizers, for their exceptional execution of the event. It ran easily, smoothly, professionally, and was a LOT of fun.

Even the event photos are awesome, and I had the pleasure of running some fleet mark missions immediately following the event with other participants. What fun!

Many thanks again, and happy holidays to all!

It sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe next time the event can be announced in advance so that people will know to be on for it.

Dang, that's what I get for watching "Parks and Recreation" and "Lost" all day yesterday--I miss out on one of the fantastic trivia events! Congrats to the winners!

Hey Six/Siran!

I'm sorry to have missed you for this event! I would definitely have loved to have seen how many more people we could've crammed into the mess hall! Things turned rowdy after the event though, when a few of the boys broke out the Vulcan brandy and replaced Traull's latinum pile trophy with golden Toblerone bars... there were a few overnight stays in the brig, but I digress...

For most of the larger-scale events that I host, I try to advertise well in advance (as with the Scavenger Hunt, Halloween Event etc). Unfortunately, because of my 24/7 on-call schedule for work, some of the smaller-scale events that I run are more spontaneous, for that reason, as I can't always anticipate in advance, which days I'm not likely to be called-in on.

That being said, we'll definitely be running more Trek Trivia events in the future, and I'll endeavour to advertise as far in advance as is possible!

ALSO, we already have some great event ideas lined up for the New Year, so keep your eye on the forums, in-game event thread, and for our advertisements in the next edition of the Stonewall Times for more info!

Hope to see you there :D

Cheers,
Dave.

Voleron gives me too much credit:P it's his brilliant mind at work, I'm only there for my toon's stunning looks. Lol jk.
Thanks to all that participated. Was a blast!!! My mess hall hasn't seen that much action in, well, ever...
Also: next time, remind me to post signs all over stating "your mom ain't a yeoman here, pick up your own replicated garbage".... Oof, what a mess

On that note, thanks again everyone. Enjoy the holidays!!!!

This was a lot of fun and thank you to Voleron and Traull for putting this on, those were some tough questions.

Grayson and Cal really gave me a run for my money :cheer:

Looking forward to a rematch my friend!! Congrats again on the win... well earned!
