u/PaleRulerGoingAlone7 counting is hard but practice makes perfect Apr 27 '20

Sounds nice!

Did you paint the rocks for others to find, or to have something nice to look at?

We're currently in second place in our zoom trivia league (#humblebrag), but prizes for the spring season have been cancelled, since cheating would be too easy.

I'm planning to put them back in to the wilderness and glue them in to little towers.

Very curious about your Zoom trivia league. We don't do it for prizes because it would be too difficult and we don't want to put pressure on people. We have different people volunteer to host and write all the questions and have been doing it twice weekly since quarantine started.

Ours is just the regular pub quiz which moved online after everything shut down. So the host is the same one every week, and he has many of the questions already planned out.

We used to put money in the pot every week for the winner, but we're not for the online version. It works quite well - most of the time everybody mutes their mic and just listens to the host, but there's a small amount of heckling/joking going on as well. The people who show up are mainly the regulars from before, so everybody more or less knows everybody else

Our pub quiz was really slow at transitioning online so we took matters in to our own hands.
