I've been playing buzztime casually for a couple years now. During that time I occasionally would look for forums (did the buzztime site once have them?) but never found anything until I found this the other day. I'm glad I can finally talk to others users in this way... I live in a trivia wasteland. There is no longer an NTN location in my town (they couldn't afford it - local business not a major chain), so I have to go 15-20 minutes down south to the closest location. It's kind of funny, when I search for a location on the site.... the maps shows places north, south, and west - all 20 minutes away or greater. Even when we had our location all I could do in a communal sense was bring a player and his friend up from their spot to help in a smartest bar contest. There weren't even six of us and so we didn't win (though we won a prize pack.... but I was away at college when it came and they saved nothing for me).

Basically I am starved for a sense of community in buzztime trivia. Even now, it's basically just my father and I...occasionally a few randoms who quit after losing a game to me. Not that I'm super competitive anyway, to give you an idea of the field with which I have to make due. When there was Countdown and Buzztime Trivia my averages were 9k and 6k, respectively. Not that great, I know. But I don't have anything pushing me to get better.

I am probably rambling at this point, but I am excited to be here and hope to get to know some of you.

Welcome from me too! if anyone has less sites than liljol it is me, closest one is approximately 350 miles away over a mountain pass.

Guess i will have to fly from my island home to Calgary to play in a bar.

If nobody at your location is pushing you then you should be attempting to compete with those who make the national top 20. Almost all of us here are in that same boat. It can be a daunting task, but also an enjoyable one.

And hopefully you play the game for trivia knowledge and to achieve the highest score you can each and every game. To hell with P+ points and badges, they aren't worth a second thought. Just play trivia.

First, I want say that I thought you were great in Dreamcatcher.
Second, the best way to get good at trivia is to play trivia.
If there were an easier, quicker recipe I would be happy to share it...

Welcome, MRGRAY, from the trivia gene puddle of Hillbillyville...West "By God" Virginia.

And you may want to plan some vacation time in mid-July to partake in a little trivia non-bash called Triviapalooza

Well welcome to the site. New blood is always good for us.

So where do you play ?

And you may want to plan some vacation time in mid-July to partake in a little trivia non-bash called Triviapalooza that is ghost-hosted by the phantom scarecrow, TOLLE, in the Cincy area. It's a fun way to meet other players and watch people attempt to defy gravity...usually unsuccessfully....

Allegedly!!

You only have the "SPIEGS of the Northeast" as your representation...I've got the original...vuvazela thing notwithstanding...EGADS!!!

Hi! I just joined! The NTN player handle is SEKA, and I guess some of you know me (and even met me in person, such as LILJOL). I've been playing NTN since 1987!

And for those who don't know me...no, I'm not the retired adult-movie star from the 1970's/80's. At least, not on nights when I'm playing trivia.
