Join the new world

Last night in Celebration of the PCP's 6th Birthday we held a pubquiz in our channel. First I want to say thank you to everyone who came and I hope you all had fun because I had a great time running it 🙂

Because it was so enjoyable I've decided to make it a weekly event for the time being! (although I may have to cut it down to bi-weekly depending on my workload in the future).

So anyone who missed it and wants to get in on the action come along on sunday to #PCP at 12.00 eRep time (8pm GMT).

Prizes are 5 Q7s for each winning answer, 2 Q7s for bonus point answers and 1 Q7 for answers that amuse me. The winner of each round doubles their winning tally of tanks that round.

And 800cc Went to the Final overall winner. Although that was because we had 2 different overall winners this time due to Inc. and Not Inc. the PCP specific round, so expect it to be higher next week!

It's fair to say that things were going awry prior to the quiz when a simple request met with simple minds 😛
