In addition to regular channel rules, the following extra points help the occasional trivia games run smoothly.

1) Please MESSAGE the answers using /msg person your_answer command.

2) Please, do not use color on the screeen.

3) Please, do not keep the screen unnecessarily busy, as we don't want the questions to scroll out before people could read them.

4) Please, message just the answers, the person who asks the questions may not have time to answer all the comments/suggestions/etc. Note them for discussion after the game.

5) If the questions are asked in turns, please prepare your questions in advance, so that the game will not lag behind the patience limits of the participants.

6) Again if you ask questions, please give precise time limits. History trivia questions are not like engineering problems, i.e., they do not require lengthy calculations, so, an answer which doesnt come up in some seconds is not likely to come up in the following years --> no need to wait forever. (but consider the ping reply times when setting the minimum amount of time limits)
