Weekly Trivia Challenge July 27th - August 8th

Post by Steve Hubbell »

OK, what with the big convention going on, and all the distractions of full blown summer being upon us, the Usagi Trivia has been neglected for the past couple weeks..... :?

To get it up and running, I am going to initiate an idea that maichan suggested a week or so ago, based upon some stuff which Maka has been posting on the Dojo Facebook page while he has been on an extended vacation trip, all of which is being wrapped up in the general concept of that current crazily popular new game "Pokamon Go"


Welcome to the first edition of....

wait for it....

USAGI GO

(OK, that doesn't look as cool as expected, but oh well)

Anyways, the rules are simple......

Walk around with your phone (without getting hit by cars or falling off cliffs, etc), take pictures of Usagi* and/or his friends in the wild, and post them here in this thread with captions.

Points will somehow be awarded for quantity, quality, and cleverness.

Extra points can also be earned for re-captioning other members photos as well.

This limited version can be considered a "beta" version of the game to work out the bugs prior to giving "Usagi Go" its own section in the forum.

* there is no restrictions on how you define Usagi for this game. He can be an action figure, a statue, a cos-player, a comic book, etc.... Use your imagination and see what you can capture!

Great! Maka's Usagi travel photos have been some of my favorite things the past couple weeks.

Surely this should be called "Usagi Go-jimbo"!

No?

Unfortunately we use "baka" too much around here with our "inu" :roll:
But we still love her.

Dear Dojo members... Even though Baka and Maka rhyme, don't ever use them together!

I like your new caption. Congrats on the extra points! :lol:

oh my gosh... I'm totally unprepared for the passing of the baton... too much going on in my life these days.

I don't think I can come up with a proper trivia game, so I'll just toss something random out there....

I have a few Usagi-Go pictures I will post soon. I've been very busy lately, but I will have some more free time over the next few weeks.
