I think we need a new scorekeeper.

Checking the recent scoreboard I have 12 points for two weeks worth of questions. That is BEYOND wrong. I've submitted my answers to all four AND believe I got one question 7 correct in that time. And it ain't like this is the first time this happened either.

1. Don't be a dick.

2. It's an ad hoc, just-for-fun trivia game. This does not go down on your permanent record. If you like, we can issue you a full refund of the money you paid for these weeks and weeks of free trivia and volunteer scorekeeping.

3. Did you shoot this question to the tuesdaytrivia email address to clear up the confusion? Or did a public hissy fit seem like a better first step to you?

4. Seriously, don't be a dick.

Wheaton's Law (and always good advice!)

Chris, I did somehow skip a week of your grades, so you should have had 3 weeks instead of 2, plus your scores from this week. (It will be fixed when I update the scores later today.) We didn't receive answers from you for Week 254 (5/24/2011).

Time for some apologies and croweating

Postby ChrisP » Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:29 pm

First to Ken- 1. and 4. Sorry. 2. Deserved that, considering things. 3. Pardon my ignorance on that front. Frustration over trivial things got the better of me yesterday, perhaps I could have been much more tactful than I was. Plus, I wasn't sure if I was better off emailing you or putting it here. Now I know better, and I yield to you- after all, I didn't win almost $4m with my knowledge of trivia like you have. (I don't mean that sarcastically, FTR. But I am smarter than a fifth grader, I think. Besides the point, I probably could've learned my lesson from before because I have seen people get all bent outta shape over nothing here before.) You can kick my ass the next time you come to New York. ;)

Lilly, sorry for jumping down your throat like that. I know you've got a lot of people's answers to go through and I can imagine the time it may take. And guess what? Upon further review stupid me did, in fact, not send in the one for the 24th. So I'll gladly eat my crow on that one. Usually I get it out there as soon as I get it- open it up, answer what I can, boom.

So are we at least somewhat square now? Happy times and all that?
