I don't

Thanks NE....I shall try to take 3rd place......for the soap.:p

fortunato 07-12-2008 12:13 AM

i don't know, neverending's in good shape for this one.
he's quite a few points ahead of me, and i don't think there's any way for me to make up that many points in one round.

i guess you never know, though. it'll be a good match regardless.

He's what... 9 points ahead of you? There's 12 points, you just have to beat him to the punch EVERY time. ;)

haha, yeah...no problem at all! :eek:

fortunato 07-14-2008 06:52 PM

so...is there no trivia tonight?

neverending 07-14-2008 06:55 PM

Assuming this is still happening... the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Empire is now on air and broadcasting a mix of general horror related music and horror soundtracks for your amusement turning this final round of the HDC Horror trivia contest of horific proportions...

The insane Uncle Ozma will also be providing tedious commentary during the contest.

You can tune in here:

It's happened before- they changed the date and didn't tell anyone about it.

Like you, I took off work tonight so I could be here on time....


...grumble....

...........grumble.....

crap, that sucks.

neverending 07-14-2008 07:06 PM

Well, let's wait it out... Despare might show up yet.

neverending 07-14-2008 07:08 PM

I see newb's not here either... he must know something we don't.

fortunato 07-14-2008 07:09 PM

ugh. bummer.

neverending 07-14-2008 07:29 PM

Well, not looking good. Taking off my mic and returning NeverEndingWonder Radio to it's regularly irregular programming.

missmacabre 07-14-2008 07:38 PM

damn. i had google all ready and everything. :D

_____V_____ 07-14-2008 07:42 PM

Huge apologies, folks!

I was caught up in work which didnt let me go (ugh!) till now, and Despare is totally tied in a big family emergency. If you all are ready, then I will host the final round just about...


...now!


Have your say. :)

Doc Faustus 07-14-2008 07:45 PM

I might just give a couple questions a try. I keep missing this.

missmacabre 07-14-2008 07:47 PM

ya i'll go for my one answer per round.

_____V_____ 07-14-2008 07:51 PM

Cool.

So shall we start, our sponsor? NE had the tracks to the radio all ready and loaded up, so I am guessing he will need a minute to re-adjust.

_____V_____ 07-14-2008 07:53 PM

NE? Fortunato?


Need confirmation from you both to go ahead.

neverending 07-14-2008 07:59 PM

Looks like fortunato has left the building.

_____V_____ 07-14-2008 08:04 PM

He was typing a reply to this thread...so I am guessing he timed out.

Let's wait a few for him to re-login...if he doesn't, then the final round stands postponed to a later date.

neverending 07-14-2008 08:05 PM

I'm off work Tues. and Wed. anytime then is great for me.

Doc Faustus 07-14-2008 08:10 PM

I gotta go.

_____V_____ 07-14-2008 08:12 PM

Okay.


As things stand now, the final round of HDC Trivia Contest stands postponed to Wednesday at 11 PM EST. Hope to catch you all then with the final round, and determining our overall winners!


Once again, deepest apologies from Despare and me for not making it here on time. It wont happen on Wednesday for sure...that's a given.


Ciao and good night folks!

newb 07-15-2008 08:13 AM

I was out of commission last night with a sore back......couldn't sit for too long....feeling better today. Kinda glad it was postponed.

Despare 07-15-2008 02:21 PM

I had some issues to deal with, sorry folks, I'm glad that Wed. works better though.

neverending 07-16-2008 06:54 PM

Well, assuming Trivia is happening tonight, the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire is online providing a mix of horror themed music and horror/sci fi soundtrack selections for your listening pleasure during the contest.

The Insane Uncle Ozma will also be annoying you with commentary throughout. You can tune in at:

fortunato 07-16-2008 06:57 PM

yes, i really really hope this is happening tonight.

newb 07-16-2008 06:58 PM

The back is still a little sore.....but I'm here for my 1 point and 3rd place.

neverending 07-16-2008 07:00 PM

Thanks for tuning in, guys!

fortunato 07-16-2008 07:01 PM

looks like ___v___ isn't on yet.

Despare 07-16-2008 08:02 PM

Our first HDC Official Trivia contest has come to an end and I would like to thank a few people for making it happen. __V__ obviously, the man helped me co-host almost every round and had my back when I couldn't show up. Great questions and a brilliant job my friend, thank you. I need to thank EVERY PLAYER too, couldn't have had fun without you folks. Hopefully the next one will have an even better turnout. :)

We also cannot forget to mention the incomparable soundtrack put together and broadcast, sometimes with brilliant commentary, by our friend... and THE WINNER OF THE HDC TRIVIA CONTEST OF HORRIFIC PROPORTIONS...

NEVERENDING!

what are the prizes?

neverending 07-16-2008 08:05 PM

Thanks so much for a great time Despare & V!

Thanks to fortunato for the intense competition. I really only won by being around for the first few rounds where not many played and racked up the points early, and then scoring a few points every round thereafter. If fortunato had been there in the beginning he'd have beat me for sure.

Wonderful times!
