Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3

    The first night of Legend Trivia was a disaster. Even though I've played in several trivias, I've never hosted a trivia before. Some questions were ambigious and had multiple correct answers. Some players argued endlessly about some questions. Sometimes I just typed the questions wrong. I learned from my mistakes and the second and third night went much better. Approximately 20 people showed up at the beginning, however I think some simply gave up after seeing some of the history questions. If you weren't there when those events occurred, and sometimes even if you were there, there was no way to come up with a correct answer. I tried to mix in game related questions in, but the purpose of this entire event was to bring some of the rich history of Legend to the new players.
    At first I thought I could host the entire event by myself so I didn't bother to ask Minako to help me, but how wrong I was. It was a good thing Minako jumped in and kept score. It would have been a lot more chaotic and probably would have taken a whole 3 hours to complete 50 questions had Minako not been there to help.
