Win SIGNED Comics - Special S8 BtVS Trivia Contest

[buffysmglover]

-Official Announcement-

Started in April of 2007 with a 100 Question Contest, the 50 Question Live Buffy and Angel Contests are just a bunch of fun for fans with Slayer/Vampire Know-It-All. The people at Buffy & Angel: The Authors and Save Angel work hard to successfully organize and host the one BtVS/AtS event that will leave you feeling eager to join the next contest. But you'll need to have your face buried into the television, watching reruns of the shows, if you want to have a better chance at winning.

------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCING SOMETHING NEW

BtVS Contests NOW INCLUDING SEASON EIGHT!

WHAT ARE WE AT SAVEANGEL.ORG AND BTVS-ANGEL-AUTHORS.NET.TC USING TO CELEBRATE THE ADDITION OF SEASON EIGHT?

Scott Allie has sent us one SIGNED copy each of the first 5 issues of SEASON EIGHT! And the winner’s going to be sent them next!

Since March of this year, two great websites (em-hmm, if I may say so myself) have been working to create a fun, well-organized online competitive game for Buffy and Angel fans. The contests, which kicked off in April, have only included actual television episodes. However, Season Eight, which is delivered to readers monthly through a comic book published by DARK HORSE COMICS, is now into its 7th issue. And Angel’s mini-series continuation of the show called AtS: After the Fall (published by IDW) has its first issue out in November, which happens to be the same month as the next AtS trivia contest. So, as previously stated, the comics will now be included in the contests, but ONLY the show continuations. We will not be quizzing over the comics that have not been approved by Joss Whedon to be canon.

The questions regarding the comics will not differ in format from the questions regarding the television series. In other words, questions you may expect to read as "In the third issue of Season Eight, The Long Way Home part 3…" will be read as "In the episode The Long Way Home Part Three…"

October’s prize has partially already been stated at the top of this announcement. I am very, very, very (!!!) excited about the prizes. I’d been talking to Scott online the night before he was leaving Indy from his trip for GenCon and when I asked him about prizes, he, obviously, accepted the invite to donate. I am very grateful, and I want to thank Scott for donating. I read some Buffy TPBs once I learned that Joss would be continuing Buffy to Season Eight, and I’ve loved every TPB I’ve read… except for a certain one which I won’t mention by name unless someone asks me. And I know that a part of each comic that makes it so cool is always because of Scott Allie, so thank you Scott.

BUT, there's more! Along with the prizes donated by Scott, [glow=red,2,300]SlayAlive.com[/glow] is donating some THE LONG WAY HOME posters! The poster is made with the wonderful art that is displayed on the cover of the first arc's TPB, coming out in November. The poster was available at the San Diego ComicCon.

Images of the prizes:

Messages From the Judges

The best thing to remember about these contests is that they're fun. Some questions are easy,some are hard but you get to have a great time meeting and playing with your fellow Angel/Buffy fans! One thing I've learned playing in these contests is that it's amazing how much I know that I thought I didn't know. Test your brain. Find out how much you know! Learn stuff that you didn't know! Win prizes! It's more fun than the undead should be allowed to have (Certainly more than Angel should!)! --- Scott / BuffyverseForever (Judge)

When you first enter these contests, you’ll probably be thinking "I know I’m going to suck at this today." The funny thing is, everyone else is bad too! The contests are designed to be fun for everyone involved, trivia-buff or not. And if it makes you feel better, while you are having fun, I’m shaking in front of the computer monitor worried about messing up. And my aunt is bringing me another glass of Coca-Cola (this is not an endorsement! Pepsi rocks too!), asking me if I’m hungry. And I tell her no. Then the contest ends and mostly everyone is happy, especially the winner and sometimes the runner-up, and I realize I am extremely hungry. Then we all chitchat for around ten minutes until the crowd slowly dies away. And I eat. So everyone is happy! – Tim / Buffysmglover (Creator / Judge)---

------------------------------------------------------

And don’t forget to purchase the 6th issue of SEASON EIGHT, No Future For You - Part One, from TFAW.com.

"You’ve got apocalypse written all over your face."

The Slayer population of the world has gone from two to nearly two thousand. Almost five hundred are working with Buffy’s European-based organization in squads—or "terrorist cells," according to various military forces. Enter Faith, the pioneer of Slayer-related dirty work, whose talents as a fierce fighter continue to garner the attention of her former Sunnydale compatriots.

---One of the judges may participate if we don't have an ODD number of judges. By participating in one of the contests, you present the fact that you are aware one of the contestants may be one of the people who work WITH the contests. You also agree not to sue or in any way offend the site if the judge wins. (Most of the judges stink at trivia anyways.) The absolute ONLY judge that knows the questions and their answers before-hand is BUFFYSMGLOVER, who will NEVER be a contestant. He does NOT share the questions and answers with the other judges ahead of time.

---We are not affiliated with God (Joss Whedon), FOX, or any other related companies, people, or demons, so on and so forth. The contests are 100% the work of fans. And sometimes Buffy/Angel authors, comic writers, comic artists, and comic editors, but they also fit into the "fans" category.

I'll be donating posters

I was going to donate a Joss signed comic...but I think I'll save it for another contest.

Man, i wish I wouldve known sooner. I sent this same thing over to Scott's assistant editor earlier today.

If you mean another Trivia contest, not a contest at SlayAlive, then I think the Buffy contest in December would be perfect. I've been thinking of who to contact to make it an awesome, prize-filled Christmas edition.

Eh, I'd rather have something personally signed for me, and not get somebody else's autograph (I don't really care about autographs that much, and non-personal ones are even less interesting to moi). So I don't think I'll participate. But thanks for putting this together, I'm sure there are a lot of fans who would enjoy them.

I see your point, but they weren't signed to me either.They were signed to the unnamed winner. lol.

I got an offer from a contestant of a Joss-signed issue 1 cover lithograph, bent a little, but not distracting, but its signed to the contestant. I told her to hold it.

[Bennyboi]

This does seem rather good though.

[buffysmglover]

Yeah but it's unnamed lol, it's just got Scott's name on it. Which to me is like...so? But that's just how I feel about autographs in general really.

I guess I never thought about that. Hopefully this will still grab the attention of a lot of collectors and bigger comic book geeks.

As long as it's not stupid trivia questions like "What color was Willow's hat in scene 3 of episode 14" or something impossible like that.

If I put a question in like that, and I wouldn't unless it was very easy, cause that'd be ridiculous, it would say "What color was Willow's hat when she wore one in the 2nd episode of season 2, Some Assembly Required?" That'd be a trick question since she doesn't wear a hat in that episode. But I would never ask that question anyways.

The trivia questions vary. But they are split into different sections. I've posted the questions from the Angel contest that happened yesterday below. Most of the contests will have things other than general questions, and the Buffy ones usually always have better content, because I haven't fully developed into my comfort zone with the AtS contests.

Thanks for joing Buffy & Angel: The Authors and Save Angel for our second 50 Question LIVE Angel Trivia Contest! Today's specific edition of the contest includes 9 different sections.

There are usually only 8 sections of questions, and some of those sections are organized into smaller sections. These are the normal sections: Easy Trivia; Medium-Difficulty Trivia; Hard Trivia; 4 different Quotes sections, including Name the Speaker, Name the Episode, Name the Speaker and Episode, and Name the Speakers; and a new section called Body Count. The rules for each specific section will be told as the contest reaches the start of each new section.

The extra section for today is called: The Nabbit Chronicles, and they are questions that have somethng to do with David Nabbit.

The winner of today's contest will be mailed two autographed ANGEL novels (Fearless and Impressions) by Doranna Durgin. I just received copies of the books from my local library and I'm very eager to read them. Of course, that's coming from the guy who has only read three Angel novels. SO of course I'm eager.

Please wait to answer a question after I type AN (Answer Now). Any correct answers inserted before I type AN after the question will not be counted.

The first person to answer a question correctly gets the point(s). Unless stated otherwise, you may continue to enter answers until you or someone else gives the right answer, or until I count down to the end of the time to answer the question.

When the chatroom has multiple people sending in answers all at once, the answers are scrambled on every monitor, so my monitor may say Buffy789 answered correctly first, while someone else's may say FARMerBen answered correctly first. When we have three judges available, we will give the points to the person that showed up first on two out of three monitors. However, today we only have me and BuffyverseForever (Scott), and it would be impossible to use an even number of judges. So Scott will be playing today unless he'd rather sit out and watch? Don't worry, Scott has no advantage over any of you. I've watched him play in this before, and I may be able to beat him even if I didn't know the answers.

Anyways... Any questions? If so, please ask them now. If you have more questions during the game, just let us know.
