We're back! We had to take a short break, as one of our question-making devices malfunctioned. Not to worry, because we bought another from a shady man by our local Panda Express. It doesn't pump out questions as fast, though, so from now on this article is going to be in every other issue. But I guess this will give you time to cool off your brain from the previous issue.
Before you dive head first into these questions, I would like to give kevinrocks a big welcome to the team, since I forgot to do it last issue. I still don't know his true identity, but he taped a letter to my door that reads:
People like to begin with me most,
When the fall colors fade away.
However, down below there is grass to mow and the heat has just begun.
At this time one tier is mine and the people come to play.
They come to battle but get the exact opposite.
I'm still trying to decipher it. Well, anyway, let's get on with it!
Welcome to the fifth installment of A Trivial Showdown! Basically, answer as many of the questions given below as you can, and once you think you've got them, PM your solutions to The Player on Smogon. Correctly answered Easy questions are worth 1 point, Medium questions are worth 2 points, Hard questions are worth 3 points, and the Bonus question is worth 5 points. We'll announce the winners (the three people with the most points) when the next issue of The Player rolls around. Prizes will be given out to the winners. Good luck and have fun!
anto - 45 points
Weebl - 34 points
Jessilina - 33 points
Thanks to everyone who participated! As always, the three finalists will be receiving tokens, which can be exchanged for prizes! The shop and the other features can be viewed by accessing The Player's information tab. If you would like the answer key or your score from last issue, feel free to shoot The Player a PM. We wish you luck in solving the following questions!
Question: Hint
Easy — Hangman. Fill out the rest of the word according to the hint.
Medium — Portmanteaus. Connect the clues together with two or more letters overlapping. (ex. [Generation 3 Fire-type Pokémon][Generation 5 Psychic-type Pokémon][Generation 4 Water-type Pokémon] would be numelgyempoleon)
Hard — "Psywaves" Questions. Use the clues to find synonyms that complete the full word. Be careful because this type of question is based on pronunciation. For example, when a clue is "A Letter," the letter may be "R" but spelled "ar" in the word. (ex. "Onomatopoeia + Hole + A Letter" would be Pupitar. Pew + Pit + Ar)
Bonus Question!
We hope you enjoyed the fifth installment of A Trivial Showdown! Please PM your full answer list to The Player. Even if you think you got some wrong, try your luck; it won't hurt to try! If your brain is aching, we've done our job well, so be sure to take some aspirin and keep an eye out for the next installment of A Trivial Showdown!
