The Mighty Muttonchops did well thanks (21 points for second place [or fourth, depending on how you count it), almost exclusively, to Rob and the other Paizo contributor sitting at our table (sadly I can't recall his name).
I got the easiest one (horses) and another from RotL (Scarnetti, though I remembered it at first as "Scarlinetti"). Can't remember how many others came from non-Paizo people but I remember that Mr. Muttonchops himself got a couple too including "Red Revolution", though we foolishly dismissed that as too obvious and went with "Bloody Revolution" instead. Crap, I thought it was "Crimson Revolution" or something...
I guess it's time to buy the campaign guide. :)

I have to give Joshua Frost due credit, kudos and props for being an awesome emcee for the trivia contest. We were laughing all through the event despite getting our clocks cleaned.

Fray, on a personal note, I want to thank you for taking on the role of the opening act at our table. I laughed so hard at your CoCT stories that it hurt. No matter what my players get up to from here on out, at least they haven't set any peasants on fire yet.I'd like to second that--you kept us all chatting when we should have been sitting with perfect Gamer Aloofness. Just made the whole night that much more fun.
Thanks gang. :blushes:
Try the veal and tip your waitress.I'll be posting about Team Home Invasion Local 42's progress as they move through CotCT.

I'm recreating the quiz for anyone who wasn't there to give it a try, but can't remember the exact wording on a few questions, and two of them I can't remember at all. Anyone who remembers or wrote them down, drop by the chat room and we can put our heads together.
If Josh & Eric don't still have copies, shoot me an email at tjadenjason at gmail dot com and I'll hook you up as best as my memory can provide.
These were the questions:
COMBAT
1. What's the one thing goblins hate more than dogs?
2. What is the war called in which Cheliax broke away from Taldor?
3. What nation launched the Shining Crusade against the Whispering Tyrant?
4. Name the Chelish colony currently at war with the Mwangi Expanse.
5. One of the greatest conflicts currently shaping Golarion is between the crusading knights of Mendev and the howling demons of the worldwound. The capital of Mendev is Nerosyan—-spell Nerosyan.

2. Which two gods in the Golarion pantheon are brother and sister?
3. Name four of Asmodeus's five domains.
4. Which god's holy symbol is an upside-down warhammer?
5. Name one other dead god besides Aroden.
MAGIC
1. Two rival wizard-kings have dominated Garund's east coast for centuries. Name them.
2. One of those mages created a magical dimension bound to a map—name the dimension.
3. What's the name of the wizard school in Korvosa?
4. Nethys, god of magic, was thought to have been a human from what nation?
5. What was the Whispering Tyrant's name as a mortal?
PERSONA
1. In Pathfinder Society Organized Play, who is the contact for the Andoran faction members?
2. What family owns all of the lumber mills in Sandpoint?
3. In what year did Aroden raise the Starstone from the depths of the Inner Sea?
4. Who resides on Mediogalti Island?
5. What's the name of the Pathfinder whose adventures were chronicled in Pathfinders 1-18?
SOCIAL
1. What nation outlawed religion?
2. What's the name of the revolution in Galt?
3. Only one of the Pathfinder iconics (so far) is multi-classed. Name him.
4. Who is the youngest member of the Paizo editorial staff?

Josh, you posted those right as I was wracking my brain for the 25th question (which ended up being Persona #5). It's hard to remember them all from memory.
The two tie-breaker questions were:
1. Name as many continents on Golarion as you can.
2. Name as many planets in Golarion's system as possible.

For this question:
You might have to rephrase slightly to something like:
Yknow, just so the answer isn't in the question!
For this question:
You might want to remove the end of the question from your post, in case the other one gets edited. (fully agree btw)
Trivia was a blast. Especially thanks to the MC work and humorous answers from many different teams.
What Paizo didn’t tell us was that the 25 questions were actually the Test of the Starstone. Three teams were one question away from ascending to godhood. Maybe next year.
P.S. Go Best-Hunters!

Thanks for being such a good sport Sean. I was worried we wouldn't be able to come up with enough variants of the wave to get through every round. Should have known you'd be willing to make a fool of yourself by doing one alone to get the team through to the finals.
Local 107, ROW LIKE YOU BELIEVE!

I'm always willing to make a fool of myself. :)
I have to point out, us Sanctimonious Trout would have fared a little bit better had our main answer machine (Ashton "N'Wah" Sperry) not stepped out for a smoke RIGHT WHEN THE GAME STARTED!
I'll never forgive him for that. Never ever.
I often chastise him about his smoking. He can now add this as another reason to quit. ;)

Man, I thought you could handle it. I mean, you missed the Even-Tongued Conquest? Really? :P
Can't a man who hates trivia games (even when he's good at 'em) get a break? I suppose you guys'd never have gotten Nex's demiplane without me, though. I'll give you that. :D
A'ight. Here's how we do it next year: I'll sit out and chain-smoke, and you'll keep your phone open and on and whisper questions to me, and I'll answer them. Questions with answers like Daante. And Handall.
Oh, and Sean: I'll be hopping aboard your team's barge next year, and I'll be sure to get good and close to you, so's you gotta put up with me smelling like a burned out whiskey distillery. All. Day. Long.
Enjoy! :D
And this is different from working 5 feet from Bulmahn every day? ;)

You are welcome in the Union only if you believe. And can row. We will devise a test to determine both by next year.

I believe in a thing called love. And I believe I can fly. And I believe they put a man on the moon. And there was a bee bothering me earlier, so I said "bee, leave!" a lot, which is phonetically similar to "believe".
And I can row- heck, I spent six years as lead rower on a slave galley. When I led the slave mutiny, the captain gave me a "most valuable rower" award before I slew him with a thirty-foot-long oar. I'm gonna miss that guy.

Speaking of Bulmahn...
That chair was hilarious.
nice. Excellent evil glee face.
You sure it wasn't Eando Calrissian?
Sounds good to me! ;-D
Did anyone record this? I think that would be so cool to rewatch
Indeed. Zuxius carried a Cam most of the time...I hope he shares his videos ;)
I didn't realize he recorded the trivia contest. Zuxius: You going to upload your stuff to You Tube or something? Also, how much of our Star Wars game did you record? If you got me doing the Toydarian impression I hope you'll delete it right away. :)

Not "which two names," but "which authors' names." There are three different authors involved.Don't forget the bonus question for Persona!
Which two names are the inspiration for the answer to question #5?
That was awesome. I'd had no idea that Eando Binder was a pseudonym for brothers Earl Andrew and Otto. Been reading Binder since I was a wee tot. Who knew?

I doubt he did, actually, as recording devices were prohibited at the banquet IIRC.

Paizo'll second guess putting that restriction up again next year, won't they?
Cool, I would have gotten 18-20 right I think. Great stuff!!! Wish I had gotten to attend!

Thank the almighty Razmir there were only five rounds. Coming up with a new variation of the wave each time was tougher than the quiz itself.
I don't think we could have come up with anything better than the one man Reynolds wave. Oh and next year I'll be on top of my Pathfinder knowledge so I can acually contribute in a meaningful way.

What, you mean Frosty McDelicious wasn't the right answer? I need to study?
Cool, I would have gotten 18-20 right I think. Great stuff!!! Wish I had gotten to attend!Easy to say when you're not in a loud room under time pressure. Just sayin' :)
True that, but I'm good at holding onto little setting specific things, or maybe I just got lucky. A pity I can't remember things pertinent to my degree half as well. :p
