[Contest] Yoo-Hoo, Big Trivia Blowout

[everblue2er101 906]

As many of you know, I post daily LOTC trivia questions on both the forums and server Facebook. I think it's about time to have a trivia contest as well. Anyone can participate, as I’m the only one who knows all of the answers.

Below are 50 LOTC related questions. Read through them carefully. When ready to submit a response, send me a PM with your answers using the format in the spoiler. Only provide ONE answer per question. Do not be afraid to guess, there will be no punishment for incorrect answers. See here for some guidelines and general rules on the trivia.

After receiving the PM your answers will be recorded and the submission will be considered completed. If the PM is edited any changes will not be considered valid. Only send the PM when you’re made your final answers. Do not post answers in this topic. Correct answers will be revealed at the end of the contest.

The contest begins immediately and will end in one of two ways.

1. Someone PMs all 50 answers correctly. They will be declared the winner.
2. If no one gets all of the correct answers within 3 days of the contest being posted, whoever has the most correct will be declared the winner.

In the unlikely event of a tie the winner will be determined by random draw.

Given that lore can change and experiences vary between players, there may be disputes over answers. If that is the case privately contact me by PM after the results are revealed.

There will be no official prizes, though the title Lord of the Trivia sounds pretty good.
