Happy Holidays! mxz trivia until Dec 23rd! $50 iTunes gift card

[mxz]

Hey all, I've learned a lot from the folks on here so I'd like to take the time to give back. I ask that you spend at least part of the winnings on a Funzio title (CC/MW/KA/MQ).

Here's the deal: from now until December 23rd I'll be holding a trivia session of sorts. I'm not going to do an AMA - instead I'll ask the questions and have you all answer for me! Each correct answer is worth 1 point unless otherwise specified. I may give out half points for answers I find funny. Only your last submission will be accepted. You may choose to enter in one post and edit, if that floats you boat, just don't edit after the deadline. Some questions are meant to be easy, others hard, and some I just want to see what people say. Feel free to lie, cheat and deceive only to post your answers at the end. Anyway, have fun with it. I'll post the answers after it's all over so you can see how far off you were.

The deadline is December 23rd at 1900 (7PM) EST - which is midnight GMT, I believe. Any entries received or edited after then will be disqualified. No guarantees I'll have the prize out quickly, but it'll be distributed quicker than the DST item, I promise.

The questions:

Who was the sender of mxz's first PM?
What was Plux's suggestion for a CC mafia name?
Which active poster does mxz respect the most on the forum? Bonus point: why? (question + bonus worth total of 2 points)
What does "mxz" stand for? (the letters...not personal ethos)
Who created the tool or spreadsheet that mxz finds most helpful?
What is the single best upgrade in Crime City? (building and level)
If Burn says it's mxz time, what has just happened?
What was mxz's first job in high school? (can give a title or the type of establishment. So "Inventory stocker" or "Clothing store" would be fine, "Sales" would not)
Which forumite does mxz think has the most interesting job?
I've posted a few movie quotes over the last few months. Name a funny movie I may like and your favorite quote from it. (I have an idea on like 5 movies I'm ready to accept, but don't be surprised if I pull a Gree and accept the top 200)
What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?
Name the sports I played in high school (1 pt each, 3 points max). In case you can't do math, there's 3...so only guess 3. If you guess more I'll assume the first 3 are your answer.
Do you think I'd want to have a beer with you?
Is mxz a banker or no-banker? (in CC, not IRL)
Pick mxz's favorite troll from this list: Baroness, Dipstik, Dravak, Joaquim, QPR, TZora.
Name the three types of animals mxz has kept as pets. (1pt per correct answer, only give 3 answers)




Ok, more rules: put it in this format (feel free to copy/paste). Basically a number, a period, your answer, hit enter for the next line.

[mxz]

First PM: joaquim, question may have been worded poorly.
Not sure where Silver Liberation Army came from...the answer I was looking for was Flu Symptoms Mafia
It has been quite chilly today, wondering if there is a HOT Mafia. I could start the "FLU SYMPTOMS MAFIA" always useful if you need a day off work for a PvP tournament. See I am useful sometimes. http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?31872-Members-of-cold-mafia-plz-stand-up....&p=258010&viewfull=1#post258010
iteachem - he's been like a big brother to me, I look up to his integrity and poise
It's a snowmobile. Figures the Canadian got that one...
itzkakarot, big fan of his work. I awarded half points for TS since he based his on TS's work
Was looking for NC2. Very subjective depending on where in the game you are, for sure.
New maps are out.
Bank Teller, related to question #14 :)
Tony Spaghetti's escort driving service is awesome!
Mostly comedies. A couple of those I hadn't even heard of :)
42, good to see some folks knowledgeable of Douglas Adams
Baseball, Football and the one no one got: Golf
The correct answer, for pretty much everyone who posted, was yes. SoccerStud I don't really know too well, so I accepted no. Sis got a half point deduction for not thinking I'd buy a round.
No-banker
Dipstik. Like JC said...everyone's favorite.
Dog, Cat, and Gerbil
Some other notes:
Bill definitely has some Zebra fetish, there may be a problem there :p

Half points given :
JC for calling out trick question. Incorrect, but funny
None
None
Billionaire for Men X-raying Zebras
SoccerStud for Tramp Stamp
JC for the teepee. Clever, made me laugh.
Raggy for everyone busting out into the running man
JC for Bailiff, Raggy for Fluffer
None
None
None
None, but JC arbitrarily loses a point for snooker
Sis lost a half point for not letting me buy a round
None
None
Tony for platypus, JC for honeybadger
OK, so...standings:

[mxz]

As you can see, there's a tie between Paulio and Dr. Dengus...so we'll do some final trivia questions between these two until someone gets it right. Everyone else is invited to guess, but only they can win.

Sudden Death Question 1:
Pick a US State that I haven't been to. Hint: the list below contains exactly one.
Alaska, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, North Dakota, West Virginia

Congrats to the winner(s) & thanks to MXZ for injecting some holiday fun here. Makes me wish I hadn't clowned around with some of my answers. Driving hookers around is way more interesting than sweeping up old foreskins. :/

[TonySpaghetti]

Not that I wanna be "that guy" but shouldn't I have 2.5 pts for the pet question? Dog + cat = 2, plus .5 for the platypus? :)

[Paulio]

North Dakota

[Paulio]

Oh, and you should give me a half point for my "probably" answer for the beer. There you go, game over. Please pm the iTunes code. Thanks.

[Dr. Dengus]

MXZ literally stands for snowmobile? I thought it was just a model #. Shucks.

What is ... Alaska.

[SoccerStud]

Thanks for letting me try

[mxz]

Not that I wanna be "that guy" but shouldn't I have 2.5 pts for the pet question? Dog + cat = 2, plus .5 for the platypus? :)Ah, yeah, good call. I'll take away the half point since that'd put you over the edge and I don't want half points deciding it. 3 way tie! Take your crack at the Elimination question!
Oh, and you should give me a half point for my "probably" answer for the beer. There you go, game over. Please pm the iTunes code. Thanks.No dice! "Probably" does not adequately answer the question from you.

Nice thread MXZ... well done.

You do of course realise Tony, Thats the $50 USD itunes code will be no use to you in Canada.

Also... AAAAAAAAhhhhha ha ha ha ha! Raggy came last!

What a loser!

[TonySpaghetti]

Nice thread MXZ... well done.

Didn't PB do an international gold transfer not too long ago?

[Dr. Dengus]

i'll go with Greece.

[Joeycool]

Didn't PB do an international gold transfer not too long ago?

Support may be able to do that I guess.

[Paulio]

Denmark. ....

[mxz]

Denmark. ....Winner!

Code is en route via email.

Thanks everyone for playing. Enjoy the holidays, if you run into Paulio he's buying beers...or martini's. Or Zebras.

[TonySpaghetti]

Congrats Paulio! :)

[Paulio]

Thanks all, and a big thank you to mxz. Just when I thought this guy couldn't make the forum better than he already does, he goes and pulls this stunt.

[Dudebot121256]

Congrats Paulio. Nice job.

[sister morphine]

Can I have half a point for saying mxz is a skidoo? 🙏😉

Congrats Paulio - CK and former CK rule at quizzes!😂😂

[Sunsets]

Congrats Paulio! And thanks mxz for what looked to be a rather fun event (Even though I missed it)

[Dr. Dengus]

Congrats Paulio. Thanks for livening up the forum and holding this contest mxz.

[Ragmondino]

I call shenanigans!!!
On a serious note nice one mxz, good to see something getting put back into the forum. Your obviously a top guy. But why have you named yourself after a snowmobile?
Joey you suck. I won the most bonus points awarded. Which means I'm obviously the funniest poster ever... (Pokes out to tongue)
You don't count because everyone knows I'm funnier than you!!!.


(And I only realised you got more after I'd posted)

Fail

Outwitted again by the mighty comedic genius of Joeycool! Shortly followed by the embarrassment of having to re-edit post! Well done Rag! You came in a close second on the bonus point front!

Well done Paulio!

Well done MXZ

Group hug now?

[Joeycool]

Oh yeah... this also just as point of interest:

http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?40235-Off-Topic-Business-genius-at-work&highlight=Silver+Liberation+Army

This is where "silver liberation army" comes from.

[Ragmondino]

Outwitted by myself. Which is even worse!!

And the edit was just to add the bottom line. A sneaky ninja edit that no one saw.
I demand a this quiz be voided and a new one put up!! Just for me and jc!! With the prize being Pride...
Which I am quickly losing any I had left
