    WHEN?
    Saturday 11th June 2016, 7PM GMT and Sunday 12th June, 1AM GMT.

    WHERE?
    #Trivia Channel on the Server.

    WHAT?
    Quiz event, answer questions correctly to win Safari prizes.

    PRIZES
    • Shiny Psyduck to person with the most cumulative points throughout the event.
    • Décor Coupon for second prize and Mega Stone for third prize.
    • All questions answered correctly will have a prize attached to it.

    RULES AND OTHER INFORMATION
    • The event will be held in two time frames, 6 hours apart, to allow people in different time zones to participate. You are allowed to participate in both.
    • There will be three rounds in each time slot. In the first time slot, the rounds will be Science & Geography (15 questions), Words & Language (15 questions) and Pokemon (20 questions). In the second time slot, the rounds will be Music & Entertainment (15 questions), Side Channels (15 questions) and Mixed Bag (20 questions).
    • Every question you answer correctly will earn you a prize dependent on the difficulty of the question and 1 point.
    • Only the first person to give the correct answer for a question in the chat gets the reward for that question.
    • Some questions will allow multiple people to give a correct answer. One person cannot give multiple answers to claim multiple prizes to a single question, and will have their award for that question annulled if they do so.
    • Prizes will be distributed after the event.
    • The person who wins the first prize can opt to choose the second or third prize if they desire. The person in second place can also choose between the remaining prizes.
    • People need to have a Safari account in order to participate.
    UPDATE: There will also be official trivia games held between the rounds. Prizes will be awarded based on your scores and positions in these games, the specifics of which will be calculated after. This is separate from the main event and so will not contribute any points towards the Shiny Psyduck prize. Everyone is welcome to play in this.

    If you have any questions not answered above, post below.

    I'm reading through this, and I have a few questions.

    Looking at how prize distribution is described in these rules, it seems...well...that isn't how #Trivia is programmed. It kinda looks like the Quiz Event, tbh.

    As I understand, there are two different ways Trivia is run:
    -a given amount of lives for each player, last-one-standing
    -a goal of points to attain, with points distributed depending on how many people total actually got it

    So will Trivia be reprogrammed to fit these rules, in which you imply that there is only a maximum amount of questions for each event?

    Another question:
    • Some questions will allow multiple people to give a correct answer. One person cannot give multiple answers to claim multiple prizes to a single question, and will have their award for that question annulled if they do so
    What does this mean? I mean, I know certain questions have multiple answers, but by default, can't I only submit one answer anyway?

    Like, say there's a question that asks, "What Pokemon evolves at Mt. Coronet?" And at first I input "Magneton," but I change my mind and answer "Nosepass." Both are technically correct, but I only get one submission -- the most recent one. (Also, how will this affect the "most recent person that answered?" Does it only count off your final answer?)

    What I'm asking is, how is it POSSIBLE to give multiple answers to a single question, regardless of whether they're all correct. That shouldn't be possible, understanding how Trivia is programmed.

    The questions do not use the Trivia engine, the event is just hosted in the Trivia channel. You answer directly into the chat. I think that answers your entire post.
