HR Public W00fage 2 (Maybe)
Howling Rain are considering putting on another HR Public W00fage - pending pa team approval. Last time the event i would say was a success and we are looking to build on it with a few alterations.
The date we've put down for now is Sunday 7th December probably starting around 19:30 UK Time/GMT.
As usual the HR Events team will be at the helm with Skinny as the Ref (all poor decisions stand) and Rebel scoring (all poor counting also stands). And we'll be roping in some poor soul to be questionmaster.
This time the pa radio we hope will be more involved formally - with them actually hosting the music rounds and we are looking into ways for the picture round to be hosted.
Although everyone will be able to sign up on the night we are planning a new system of people emailing me if they want to be involved so i can assign them to the teams before they start, this comes with the added advantage of being able to put a small list of friends (probably 3) who you can have in the same team as you. Sorry but we will require captains controling the team as before and no custom made teams as simply i struggle marking 7 captains and more would be impossible.
All i want from you guys is a little feedback.
Do you want this event at all?
Is there any other types of round you want to see?
Do you want more/less picture/music questions?
Have you got any other suggestions how to make the event better?
Either email me with answer [email protected] or post them on here - the more feedback the more we can make it an event you enjoy.

I'd probably join in again, it was pretty good fun....being able to listen to the music before knowing the question would be a good idea though i think, people with slow connections were at a real disadvantage.
And i'm sure someone clever could make a little script that will auto-assign teams to people?

He probably meant he will pick names out of a hat and just pretend he has coded a special bot to do the job .

Re: HR Public W00fage 2 (Maybe)
Could one of the people organising this give a brief description of what a w00fage is for those people who are voting to say they dont know what one is.

Points are scored for each right answer and funny answers (the funny answers sometime are worth more than the real answers) the faster you answer the more points you get. The team with the most points at the end wins!
The event will be run by the HR Entertainment team, who have done many of these and generally we find them to be really fun, enjoyable experiences (which are often hotly debated for weeks in the forums) and all you have to do is turn up and enjoy yourself on the night.

Thats taken from the original thread about the first public w00fage. If you want to read more about how that went look here.

Re: HR Public W00fage 2 (Maybe)
Am I to take it that it would be that participants are randomly assigned to teams more or less before kick off?
Or can Teams apply to take part?
If it is the former, forget it I dont want to be saddled with some lamer.

Re: HR Public W00fage 2 (Maybe)
If you want to get involved, you email the organiser (I assume an address will be given nearer the time).
If you want to be on a team with some friends, then you can be, but there will be other people on the team as well, under the "control" of a pre-determined captain.
The above is being done, in order that the team-allocation process doesn't take as long on the day of the event itself.
