Hello there, all you lovely event-going Menewshans! I am not Cupid, but I am here to bring you some love in the form of random trivia. I've scoured the internet and some of the smartest brains I know for questions that range from movies and books, to history facts and myths, and anything else with a Valentine or romantic theme.
There are a few specifics on how to play, so please read carefully!









HOW TO PLAY:

All the questions are up for the whole event.
Please do not share your answers with others! You wanna win dontcha!?
Send me, Linnea, your answers through a PM when you are ready! (Copy and paste the list of questions)
Make positive you are sure of your answers because no adding to or editing once you send 'em in.
Each question is worth a point. Questions with multiple answers = that many points.
The person with the most amount of points wins!
You can enter until the end of the event.
No mules, please.


PRIZES:
*All Correct Answers* Romantic Valentine and Romantic Gentleman mennies items + 10,000 gold + 1 set of event rares
_____OR
*First Place* 8,000 gold + 1 set of event rares
*Second Place* 5,000 gold + 1 set of event rares
*Third Place* 1,000 gold + 1 set of event rares

*Depending on the amount of participants, there could be participation prizes and perhaps even a 4th/5th place prize

i agree, eli. some are tricky to flesh out and you have to do some research

---------- Post added 02-11-2017 at 10:43 AM ----------
