QUODRITHLETES TIME!!!

[necrodanseuse]

Surprise! It's Quodrithletes!

what's up?

Chanel heard your complaints, and you know what? You're right. A study lock-in is boring. It's time to really take learning to the extreme. And what better way than to have you all answer as many questions as possible until something explodes. That's RIGHT! Arithletes is teaming with JV Quodpot tonight, in an unholy and perhaps ultimate battle between jocks and nerds. Also invited are Varsity Quodpot, because Eddy said so, and School Cheer, because Chanel somehow leads that group, as well. After dinner on Friday, (sorry this is a lil backdated,) they're all strongly encouraged to change into comfortable clothing and meet in the gym.

Where they are met with a whistle-wielding Chanel, three teams they didn't ask to be on, and some brain food snacks (nuts, fruit, veggies and hummus, some tea for caffeine and water). Participation is mandatory for the groups in the normal rounds, but there's a SPECIAL surprise tonight. They seem to have acquired a quod, and it's gonna be going OFF in the lightning rounds. It's filled with mini jumping chocolate frogs! Tasty!

This seemed like a good idea at the time, and Chanel's not sorry. LEARN FAST, NERDS!!!

how this works!

🦇 Once again, Arithletes are auto-sorted on to teams, because their appearance is Mandatory. (It's not, Chanel just thinks so.) Special guests tonight are the Junior Varsity Quodpot team! The varsity team and school cheer were also invited, but Chanel's not making them come. If you'd like your varsity or cheer person to be involved, I will then place them on a team, trying to keep things as even as possible! Just comment!
🦇 Then just fill out the form to get your score! Competitors will choose from four categories, ranked from least (1) to most (4) difficult.While it will be easier to score points in the categories with lower difficulty levels, there are a lot more points available in the higher difficulty categories. Your character is encouraged to pick whatever category they are most familiar with! But choose whatever you want. Your categories tonight are as follows:

LEVEL 1) Movies With Tom: A performing arts category that requires your knowledge of any movies produced by, written, directed by, or starring any person with Tom in their name.
LEVEL 2) 99 Problems but a Snitch Ain't One: All about Quodpot!
LEVEL 3) Total Eclipse of the HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY This tried to be a seasonal category about hearts, but Chanel got carried away.
LEVEL 4) Comprehensive Survey of Magical Government: (This one's boring.)

🦇 IC-ly, the initial questions will go on for ten rounds. But please only check in once!

🦇 After that, your character can choose to face off with another competitor of their choice in an optional but messy Lightning Round with questions that they have to answer as fast as possible, all categories included! Buuuut there's a catch. The lightning rounds, instead of going through the normal 15 questions in 90 seconds, will go from 30-120 seconds. The two competitors will have to hand a quod back and forth, answering as many questions correctly as they can (and they can't pass it back til they answer right) until the quod explodes and spits little chocofrogs everywhere.

🦇 To participate in a lightning round, just comment on anyone else's completed competition comment! Make sure they're not on your team! Then I'll come back around to roll the round.

🦇 You'll have until Weds Feb. 5 11:59 PM CST to check in! The Winner determined at that time will win a SECRET PRIZE! (And the Arithletes Squirrel in a football helmet)

THE COMPETITION!: Eddy

[quidditched]

Character Name: Eddy Waxweiler
Team Number: 2
What Category Did You Pick: 99 Problems but a Snitch Ain't One. This was a preeeeeetty obvious choice.
How Much Have You Studied: Proooobably less than he should have lately, with all the broom sportin'. He's still a Junior Tryhard though, so. 8.
Confidence Level: We're gonna beef up his usual 3 to a 5. He's trying to fake it anyway.
Strategy: Stutter. Choke. Try really hard to not look dumb in front of his team. He MAYBE regrets this idea. At least he's got the Quod tossing part down.

THE COMPETITION!: Eddy

[necrodanseuse]

Eddy scored 96 points for Team Two and can now challenge or be challenged to the LIGHTNING ROUND!

LIGHTNING ROUND: Eddy vs Howdy

[artistree]

Team Number: Team 3

How Much Have You Studied: 3, he's coming in red hot with just what he knows from existing as an isolated wizard living on the edge of a magigovernment testing site but he's here to ?score? the ?big points?
Confidence Level: 6, Hawthorne certainly LOOKS confident, but is he?
Strategy: Yelling just whatever pops into his head first.

THE COMPETITION: Hawthorne

[necrodanseuse]

Hawthorne scored 155 points for Team Three and can now go loose the frogs in a LIGHTNING ROUND!

LIGHTNING ROUND: Hawthorne vs. Aris!

[arisahn]

Re: THE COMPETITION: Hawthorne

[quidditched]

Look at how smart this disaster son is.

Team Number: 1

THE COMPETITION!: Presley

[infamously]

Character Name: Presley Mondragon
Team Number: 3
What Category Did You Pick: Comprehensive Survey of Magical Government. He was made for this boring ass category.
How Much Have You Studied: 8. He is at a total loss when it comes to movies, but MACUSA inner workings (as an aspiring auror) and Quodpot (as a cheerleader) are strong subjects for him. And anyone who's a member of Chanel's club and hasn't boned up on body parts is a fool.
Confidence Level: 7. Willing to say guesses with confidence, and dare the judges to tell him he's wrong. Less willing to touch a quod.
Strategy: He's just going to answer as fast as possible with whatever so that quod is nowhere near him when it explodes.

THE COMPETITION!: Presley

[necrodanseuse]

Presley scored 26 points for Team Three and can now go challenge/avenge this in the LIGHTNING ROUND.

LIGHTNING ROUND: Presley vs Winter!

[damnnearkilledem]

Character Name: Howdy
Team Number: 3
What Category Did You Pick: LEVEL 2) 99 Problems but a Snitch Ain't One
How Much Have You Studied: Wait, he was supposed to study??? Does watching the games and obsessively recording notes count? (6??)
Confidence Level: An unearned 10.
Strategy: Slap first, think later. For both.

THE COMPETITION!: Howdy

[necrodanseuse]

Howdy scored 63 points for Team Three! He can now go slap in the LIGHTNING ROUND!

THE COMPETITION!: Skip

[recordskip]

Character Name: Skip Rider
Team Number: 2
What Category Did You Pick: Level One! The easy questions have to go to somebody, and Skip happens to be a somebody, sometimes.
How Much Have You Studied: Solid 6. He's watched movies before, and he's aware of the name Tom. Did not specifically cram for this quiz, though.
Confidence Level: 8 - he usually has confidence to spare, whether he should or not
Strategy: Spit the answers out as quick as possible, throw as quick as possible. It's unconventional, but he's taking this as actual training for the match Sunday!

THE COMPETITION!: Patrice

[shoulderdevil]

Character Name: Patrice Tang
Team Number: One
What Category Did You Pick: 4, government!!! He's established he knows nothing about movies and also Presley picked it
How Much Have You Studied: OK, hear me out - studying is like a 3, but knowledge base is probably around an 8. Score that as desired!!! He's too smart for his own good and retains material v well but continues to be lazy.
Confidence Level: 11
Strategy: Quick to answer and likes to try to distract his opponents by saying outrageous things about his skills or just winking at them a bunch. Mwah mwah guys

THE COMPETITION!: Claudia

[nublada]

Character Name: Claudia Vega
Team Number: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
What Category Did You Pick: Total Eclipse of the HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
How Much Have You Studied: She's already a Pre-Healer student and a lunatic so her baseline is already a 10.
Confidence Level: 8. She gets a little flustered when a question trips her up, but she definitely knows this!!!
Strategy: Worry about the questions, let muscle memory handle the quod.

THE COMPETITION!: Zadie

[zadielovelace]

Character Name: Zadie Lovelace
Team Number: Team 1
What Category Did You Pick: Total Eclipse of the HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
How Much Have You Studied: 10. Zadie lives to study and doesn't want to disappoint the other Arithletes!
Confidence Level: 5. Zadie is smart, but she can freeze up under pressure even when she knows the answer.
Strategy: Wants to answer only when she's positive she's right, unfortunately. Getting a question wrong in front of everyone is a nightmare scenario. Also, she is scared of the Quod.

THE COMPETITION!: Aris

[arisahn]

Character Name: Aristotle Ahn
Team Number: Team 2
What Category Did You Pick: 99 Problems but a Snitch Ain't One
How Much Have You Studied: 6! He has a strong grasp on Quidditch and isn't actually as dumb as he seems.
Confidence Level: 9! Aris doesn't mind making a fool of himself and sees this as a 'just for fun' exercise anyway.
Strategy: If nobody else on his team immediately buzzes in, you can bet he will! A guess is better than nothing, right? His answers can get pretty creative when they're just a shot in the dark. The Quod, he doesn't have any issues with.

THE COMPETITION!: Trudy

[themurderbird]

Character Name:Trudy
Team Number: 3
What Category Did You Pick: LEVEL 3) Total Eclipse of the HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
