1. Don't post the answers below - your post will be deleted and you will be disqualified from TPE this week.

2. It's the same 2 questions for everyone. Feel free to PM me any questions which can be asked in the same format and when I use those questions, you will earn uncapped TPE for it! Wins all around.

Isn’t question 1 technically incorrect since season 1’s MVP (Matthew Pogge) would have technically been a rookie?

Nah, top rookie was first awarded in season 2 so we don't count any S1s.

Question 2 does not have the correct answer within the possible answers to choose from.

 

The question is worded;

"What is the highest amount of points scored in a single season which did not lead the league in scoring?"

This would make the answer 150 by Matt Thompson, as it is the highest point total ever scored in a season in which the player did not have the most points for that given season (season 62 when Podrick Cast had 174). Link

 

The question should be corrected to;
" What is the highest amount of points scored in a single season which did not break a single season record?"

 

I chose my answer based on the re-wording.

Wrong, the portal's records section is incomplete - or rather, only covers some random amount of seasons.

[BOOM 8,810]

I'll get it wrong either way!

I’m good at holding records only when you count the portal’s records haha. Pretty sure it says I’m the all time leader in SO as well which I’m not.

 

Also, god damn, these new questions definitely require an intimate knowledge of some old spreadsheets.

[BOOM 8,810]

At least they are multiple choice!

Do they? They're pretty publically available - pinned or in separate forums. Not my fault @Will is spreading lies in the portal.

It’s not that they aren’t available. It’s figuring out exactly which one that you need and then finding it amongst the 3 or 4 different places they are located and then deciphering what’s in them. Not so easy for those of us that didn’t construct most of them

 

We really should consolidate our spreadsheets. I mean ideally get the accurate information on the portal but at least having everything in one place would help.

Kind of. The answers to some of these lay in some pretty dormant sub-forums. Hell, a lot of things are spread out, so I had to look at 3-4 before finding the right one for where Q2's answer could be found. Most people don't know where all the spreadsheets are laying around.

[Victor 11,009]

I am the last bastion of actually earning your TPE, I will die on this hill.

 

(The consolidation of stuff should still happen, but I don't want to put in the effort if it all ends up being portalised. That said, to my knowledge there's only two places that have stuff related to trivia so I don't know where else you are looking - feel free to PM me though and I'll have a look.

I would say at least 3. League discussion, the root of the game’s forum, and the old records section. Mind you the old records section is less important than the other two but still.

 

I’m also not opposing the questions being harder, especially with them being multiple choice. I just think that having the locations of these old spreadsheets be more accessible would be good if they are going to be required so heavily.

I submitted two forms this week, because I went off the portal and thought that question 2 was a trick question since @Victor is not above such things and there is an answer that would qualify based on a narrow interpretation of the question before I saw the spreadsheet in question.

Rude, I have never asked a trick question here.

Sorry, I meant "kind of but not really" trick questions

[Philliefan 69]

Oof. Didn't expect I'd have to track down a forum post from 2014 (not trying to spoil anything) just to find the answer to #2. Worth that TPE tho

Backing up some of the other comments here, these ones are a BITCH to find. I have no idea where I'm supposed to go to find which season certain players started their careers from the days where we didn't have a portal.

To give you a hint, the non-portal players in question 1 are both HoFers so it lists when they were drafted in their HoF articles.

Just finished up and stumbled upon that for a reference, thank you!!!! Of course I get this response right after I get done digging, lol

 

Can't wait to write trivia help in the VLHM newsletter this week

Running a search in the draft forum would also yield results Im sure, though I didn’t try

[Plate 386]

Please note not to use my first attempt as I messed up and didn't submit correctly. The title of the one that should be recorded on my behalf is Plate - Rhye Tyr. Thank you.
