    Incoming message for all UFP members!

    Starfleet Academy are pleased to announce that the UFP Trivia Night event is returning! Previously hosted by Adster94, the Trivia Night event is a get together for everyone to have some fun, generate a little friendly competition and perhaps even a prize or 2 for the winners. For the relaunch event, it seems fitting we start off with a topic that's also the reason for us all being here, and that topic is....

    STAR TREK
    GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

    A variety of Trek general knowledge questions covering in-universe events, places and ships, alongside production trivia, a wide field of questions will be tabled during the event. With a pool of 100 questions, we have easy ones, hard ones and everything in-between, including a few that may have answers that would not be immediately springing to mind. Brush up on your trivia and crack open the LCARS, as we plan to expand the events out in the future, covering different topics and eras. The plan is to bring us altogether as a community, to interact with everyone and enjoy ourselves in a regular setting.

    The plan for the evening is to select 60 random questions out of the pool of 100, with additional questions chosen if and as required.

    As the topic is general knowledge, there are no specific categories or rounds for the first night, nor will there be teams. Instead, we're taking the relaunch quiz as a free-for-all, every member for themselves. In the event of a tie-break situation when the event concludes, a question will be asked and the first person to buzz in with the right answer is declared the winner. Should we have more than 2 members with tied scores, then we will ask additional questions to determine both the 3rd place finisher and which 2 people will face off head to head for 1st on the podium.

    Contestants will buzz in by putting an X into the Teamspeak chat. Whoever buzzes into chat first will get to answer the question either verbally or via text (with a maximum of 10 seconds to provide their answer) - if they are correct, they win a point. If they are incorrect, choose to pass or exceed the time limit, the question will be passed to the next contestant. We must accept the first answer you give us, so think twice and answer once! If no-one knows the correct answer, the question will be passed and we'll move on. A mic would be recommended for taking part, but it is not essential and you may submit your answer via the text chat instead if you wish to do so.

    The first Trivia Night is intended to take place as part of the March UFPAC weekend and the exact time and date will be confirmed once the UFPAC schedule is finalised.

    Additional: We would ask, both in the interests of fairness and for the enjoyment of all those who are attending that contestants DO NOT use Google, Memory Alpha etc. during the event. All the event rules will be repeated again on the night.

    Keep the hailing frequencies open for the finalised date, which will be added to this post. We look forward to welcoming you on the night!

    The Trivia Nigt is now live on the Events calender here!

    Trivia Night will be at 19:00 GMT on Saturday 24th March.

    While I had planned to host myself, real life circumstances are preventing me from doing so - but the good news is that SammyGM has kindly stepped in to assume hosting duties and I’d like to thank him again for his help.
