Congrats Gaffey...I also forgot about the Critters special.
I will enjoy some of that Woo Whoo however :D
interesting questions Steve...thanks!

On a side note, I was able to get my copy of Rocket Raccoon 2 variant signed by both Stan and Skottie Young at Planet Comic Con last year in KC. Stan did a little Rocket Raccoon head sketch. Skottie Young has done a couple Usagi pieces that are fantastic and unique.

Aw Yeah!!! Does this mean our contests are over for a while? I have a good challenge (at least I think it is), but I'd like to save it for a special contest. It's sort of a match up game and would take me a while to prepare.

Either way, these trivia challenges have been fun.

Oh and congrats on those Woo Hoos!

The monthly trivia contests are over, but I'll be doing some random contests from time to time. I still have a couple items to give away (different from all the previous prizes), so would certainly be open to collaborate on one where you provide the contest and I'll take care of shipping the prize. We can talk in PMs about it whenever you want.

I still enjoy the trivia questions, even without the prizes. (when I have time to look for an answer, which unfortunately I didn't have for Steve's question)
As far as I'm concerned, we can keep doing trivia just for fun.

I'm sure I've got some spare bits here I could rattle up for a prize set as well at some point.

Exactly. Prizes were just a little bonus, so there's no reason to stop trivia.

I agree with everyone!

My own lack of participation is not due to lack of interest in the Trivia questions, but lack of time to figure them out. I still follow them on a regular basis! So, keep up the good work, Yo(jimbo)! :lol:

I completely agree. :D

I was thinking about starting a "Trivia hall of fame" topic, in which we could count points from now on.
Every week, the winner gets one point added to his/her score.
There would be no prize except honour and bragging rights. 8)
(maybe, if Steve agrees, we could even create a new rank on the forum to give to the person at the head of the list. "Lore expert", "Guardian of knowledge" or something like that. It would be an incentive for those missing the prizes :D)

What do you think?

True, but many people get the answers correct. It's the luck of the randomizer that decides who the "winner" is.

I don't mean this as gripe. I'm pointing out that the "winner" isn't always the person who has answered the most questions correctly.

That's a good point.
