Ok, so my idea was to have a game of Jeopardy. Just in case someone isn't familiar with Jeopardy, here is a rundown of how the game goes.
Jeopardy is a game where there are 6 categories of answers each with varying monetary (or point) values. In the first round there are values of 100-500 for each of the 6 categories, meaning a total of 30 questions (if time allowed) and then there would be a round 2 where the point values doubled. Then there is a final Jeopardy question in which the contestants secretly bid an amount to wager if they get the answer right.
A correct answer adds to your score and an incorrect answer subtracts from it.
The point of Jeopardy is that the clues are actually the answer and the contestants have to give the question that could be asked to get that answer. For example the answer clue could be "This member of DM is the current MG of the BotRH Org." The contestant would ring in and say, "Who is Corki?" That would be the right answer. If they just said "Corki" it would be incorrect as they have to answer in the form of a question.
That about wraps up the explanation of the game.
I thought we could tune it down a bit though so that it wouldn't require tons of time from everyone. So basically I thought we could maybe cut it down a little bit maybe say 4 categories per round with 5 questions, or maybe cut the questions down a little too. Anyways, I thought of maybe coming up with travel and music questions to ask the contestants. Maybe say that each Org can be represented by a group of 3 people who work together to answer the questions. However, an Org can have several teams if they would like, so that it might increase the number of people and the competition. Yes, it will be large scale but if we get people involved it might show how fun our Org can be.
So first off, for our Org, would be finding people willing to help create questions and answers for the categories. Basically, we create a Question/Answer team that works only to find questions and answers and then relays them to the person who'll be asking the questions (most likely that'll be one of SS). We could have a team or however many teams, so long as those that help get questions and answers aren't participating as a team as well.

Hmmmm... I'll ask my soon to be signature questions in such situations. They are arranged in no specific order.
1) What makes chilling at a forum fun? Cause that's what will attract people to our org and draw our lurking member back into the fold.
2)What does our Band stand for and how can we use that to make being with the Band more fun? I actually have a suggestion here. We are the Band of the Red hand and we are known for travelling that's one of the things we stand for. So why don't we "travel" around Randland through threads. Having fun causing mischief in the usual Light RP style.
3) (This ties in with question 2) How can we use what we stand for to stand out from all the other ORGs and thereby gain new members? Especially since we're the music ORG. I mean everyone listens to music so we should be able to find some interesting way to use music to draw in new members right?
