SLUG trivia night - Flame War 2.0

>From humble beginnings as a way to fill in time after an AGM, the SLUG
Flame War is back!

Flame War 1.0 was released in March (See
http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2003/03/msg00783.html for
details).  This new version overs many improvements over its
predecessor: 
      * Multiplayer!  Perhaps the most exciting and most requested new
        feature, Flame War is now officially a MMORLG (massively
        multiplayer offline Real-Life game), supporting up to 50
        simultaneous players!
      * Enhanced prizes.  Flame War 1.0 presented the winning team with
        the leftover milk from the tea break.  This was reported to be
        quite tasty, yet somehow unsatisfying after the rigours of Flame
        War.  Considerable development effort has gone in to ensuring
        the spoils of War will be much more worthwhile.
      * Cozy new venue.  The arena for battle has been relocated to
        every SLUG's favourite venue, the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel. 
        Flame War is, after all, thirsty work.
      * Accessibility.  Far from the hardcore geekiness of Flame War 1.0
        (Slackware disk sets, anybody?), this new version offers
        questions from a broad range of categories.  Friends, brains
        trusts, and significant others curious about exactly what you
        get up to with those weird SLUG people are all more then
        welcome.  Being passionate about your choice of OS is not
        required.
      * Warm-fuzziness.  All proceeds from the night will go towards
        making the upcoming Linux Workshop a reality.

Registrations are now open to any and all comers.  Form a table of 5, or
register yourself to be placed in a team, and email [email protected]. 
A one-time registration fee of $10 per person, collectible at the door,
will cover fireproofing of the venue, training of our elite trivia
monkeys, as well as ensuring maximum warm-fuzziness for the user.  We
unfortunately have a hard limit on numbers, so first in, first served.
Registrations will also be accepted at the door, numbers permitting.

Battle commences on Saturday, the 23rd of August.  First shots will be
fired at 7pm, continuing until everybody goes home, or to another pub. 
The arena for battle is the courtyard of the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel. 
Venue details at http://www.slug.org.au/events/wbh.html .

The usual Flame War rules and regulations apply.  All rules and
regulations to be made up on the spot.  The judge's decision is not so
much final as dependant on how much beer he's been given.  Points are
usually given for correctness, but may also be awarded for humour or
sucking up to the judges.  Trivia monkeys may or may not be actual
monkeys.  Bring your own asbestos Y-fronts.
