OK I am pissed and will probably piss even more people off by blogging this but I don't care.
All day I was looking forward to a fun night, starting with the trivia. Its been a stressful week and because I am saving money for something thats not even gonna happen,and I don't have the cash to go out.
So I get into chat tonight...and I had a crappy time. I am tired of all the whinning and bitching because people can't understand trivia is supposed to be FUN -at least my version. Maybe I am making this bigger then it is, but maybe before you start complaining "I said that first!" or "thats not right" think about the person hosting...that they had to take time from THIER lives to find the questions, take the pics, blog, etc. Not too mention trying to read 60 people shouting out their replies at the same time and figuring out who said what.
Yes I do get thanks for hosting and I do appreciate it but I guess some just ruin it for me.

*hugs to you and juicy* sorry trivia night didn't go so well..maybe we need a few refs on the side booting out the asses as the game goes on..I've noticed more and more fucktards in the room and lately I've decided "be an ass - get the instaboot" I shouldn't have to warn people that know 100% they are making others mad or sad

I have seen what you are talking about get worse over the past few months. I plan on taking a more 'active' role in policing the contestants from here on. I feel Bootz is correct, be an ass-get that ass kicked out. Sad that it has come to this though. I promise to do better.

I missed triviaa last night and I missed alot it sounds like. I think you are a great hostess beachy. It takes alot of ya'lls time to do this for us. I wish people was more understanding. It gets crazy in there.

Beach, I appreciate the triva efforts and that fact that you all take times outta your lives to think up questions and say them to us and then get the answers shouted, I appreciate all that you do to bring it to us, so thanks to you and ju and kitten for last nights trivia, and that fact that I came in second (which is a first)was fun, so thanks again and kisses to ya, you rock!

Beach, I've never been to trivia nite and may be out of line with this suggestion, so let me know if I am. I think NN needs to come up with an "invite-only" chat room for events such as this...... Then, post a message re: when the next game is going to take place. Allow the first 30 or so people who respond, via pm, e-mail, blog, etc... into the room. Seems to me 60 people is too many for only 2 or 3 people to handle. Everyone agrees that the judges decision is final! Those that get pissy can get booted! After all, this is only a game people. It sounds like a lot of fun and doesn't have to be so damn competitive. Most here don't realize how much time and effort it takes to organize something like this. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.
