MONDAY 5th MAY 2014

Tonight we are throwing in a little extra where you can earn more points. 

As usual there will be the 15 questions but our extra involves you identifying the five photographs we will show here once the quiz starts at 8.45.

Here are the rules:

~ DO NOT tweet the names as you identify them.

~ Your guesses MUST be sent to Monday Music Quiz by DM (direct message).  DO NOT tweet it ~ you are only giving the game away to your competitors.

~ ONE DM = 1 guess (eg. Pic 1 is ...................... ).  So one DM per pic. identified. 

~ Your first guess on each photo is the only one that will be taken so take care.

~ First in with correct guess gets FIVE bonus points.

~ You can guess them in any order.

MONDAY MUSIC QUIZ 27 JANUARY 2014

Tonight as per usual, there will be 15 music questions.  Answer using the hashtag #MondayMusicQuiz

BONUS POINTS

Hidden in the 15 answers, and in no particular order, are the titles of EIGHT famous British albums.

The album titles can be one word titles or more.  Correctly guessing an album title earns FIVE bonus points.

When guessing the album titles use the hashtag #MMQalbums or your answer wont't be counted.

HIDDEN SONG BONUS

Tonight there will as usual be 15 questions and as usual the scoring per question will be:

1st in gets 5 points
2nd gets 4 points
3rd gets 3 points
4th gets 2 points
and 5th gets 1 point

You MUST use the hashtag #MondayMusicQuiz when answering or your answer will not appear in my timeline and therefore not counted.

There is no THEME this week, instead there is a HIDDEN SONG BONUS.

A word from the answers to the questions will form part of the HIDDEN SONG title.  There will be FIVE hidden songs each made up of three words in the answers to the questions.

If you guess a song title, tweet it using the hashtag #MMQSONGS ~ if you just tweet it using the #MondayMusicQuiz hashtag you are just letting others see the song and not placing it in the correct column ~ #MMQSONGS ~ so you might be beaten to it by giving it away using the wrong hashtag.  Titles appearing with only the #MondayMusicQuiz hashtag are NOT counted.

First player in with each SONG gets FIVE bonus points.

You MUST use the hashtag #MondayMusicQuiz when answering or your answer will not appear in my timeline and therefore not be counted.

Hidden in the first 14 answers are the name of seven bands.

Each band name consists of two words.

If you guess a band, tweet it using the hashtag #MMQBANDS

First player in with each band gets FIVE bonus points.

And as per usual, the quizmistress is ALWAYS right!

MONDAY MUSIC QUIZ ~ NO THEME!

NO THEME THIS WEEK!  (Monday, 23rd SEPTEMBER 2013)

As you all know, we have a theme each week but this week there is no theme ~ but there are lots of extra points up for grabs so read very carefully:

As usual, there will be 15 questions and scoring points for the correct answer will be done as  usual (5 points for first in with correct answer, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th and 1 for 5th).  So far, so the same.

However, this week the answer to each of the 15 questions will consist of one word.

Hidden in the 15 answers are the titles of FIVE songs.

Each song title will consist of THREE words.

Obviously it will not be as simple as the first song title being made up of answers 1, 2 and 3.

Oh no, no.  That would be too easy for you lot!

For example:

Answer to Q1 ~ Up

Answer to Q7 ~ Me

Answer to Q11 ~ Start

Song tile: Start Me Up

~~~

The first in with a correct song title gets FIVE bonus points..

You can guess as soon as you think you have one of the song titles BUT YOU MUST use the hashtag #MMQSONG or it will NOT count!

NOTE: THE BONUS POINTS WILL ONLY BE GIVEN TO THOSE TAKING PART & ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.

HASHTAG GATE

Last Monday was Hashtag Gate on Monday Music Quiz.

The previous post here relates to my thoughts behind changing over to using only the @ and not the hashtag when answering questions during the quiz.

However, despite a few people wanting the change, it was basically a total disaster!

This week, because of last week's disaster AND the fact I am now newly using tweetdeck 2 blue, we must definitely return to using the hashtag when answering questions.

So, remember, when answering, using #MondayMusicQuiz with your answer or your answer will not appear in my timeline and therefore not be counted.

For those not so fast at typing, copy #MondayMusicQuiz and simply paste into your answer box when replying.

NO MORE HASHTAG

I had been thinking about stopping using the hashtag for a couple of weeks now.

At the moment, everyone playing Monday Music Quiz must use the hashtag #MondayMusicQuiz in their answer or it doesn't appear in my timeline and therefore not counted.

My thoughts on changing it to only the @MondayMusicQuiz (quickly accessed by hitting Reply ~ see below) was to help those slower at typing (ie those who actually had to type out #MondayMusicQuiz each time they answered), and even those who more easily and quickly simply have the #MondayMusicQuiz copied and pasted with each answer.

Much quicker, and easier for our players, is simply hitting the "Reply" square on the MondayMusicQuiz avatar which of course accompanies each question I tweet.

As the tweets appear on tweetdeck:

Move your cursor over the Monday Music Quiz avatar and pick the top left cube "Reply to MondayMusicQuiz" and click on it and then type in your answer to the question.

Much simpler and much quicker and much less bother.

By the way, the thing that cemented the dropping of the hashtag for me was a discussion with @owlbird who had tweeted she was no longer going to do quizzes using only the hashtag.  Given my thoughts on it over the past 2 weeks I tweeted to ask her why and she told me that using the hashtag in a quiz only blocks up her timeline and may be annoying to her followers.

So, that's it folks.  Bye bye hashtag and possibly annoying your followers not playing and hello "Reply to MondayMusicQuiz" and the @ to speed everyone up and keep everyone happy.

See you all at 8.30!
