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!

MONDAY MUSIC QUIZ ~ HOW TO PLAY
The Monday Music Quiz on twitter takes places each Monday evening at 8.30pm (GMT). It consists of 15 music questions tweeted out in about five minute intervals (with a five minute break after question 8) and those playing should answer as quickly as possible to be placed in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th place for each correct answer. The quiz generally lasts for between 60 and 90 minutes.
Points are gained by being in the top five quickest in with the correct answer:
1st in gets 5 points
2nd in gets 4 points
3rd in gets 3 points
4th in gets 2 points
5th in gets 1 point
The point systems means that even if you are a little late joining in, you can still catch up.
The questions cover all genre of popular music (pop, rock, country, etc.) and all eras of music.
Everyone is welcome to enter and here is how to play:
1. VERY IMPORTANT: use the hash tag (#) #MondayMusicQuiz when answering otherwise we will not see your answer in our timeline and therefore your answer will not count. There is absolutely no need to use the @ (ie @MondayMusicQuiz).
2. If using tweetdeck open a new column entitled #MondayMusicQuiz
3. Answer as quickly as possible to try to get placed in first 5 to gain points on each question. You can google for answers but be warned, that takes time and you may miss getting into first five.
4. Every week there is a THEME. The first player who correctly identifies the theme gains a valuable FIVE points. No comment will be made during the quiz on whether anyone has correctly identified the theme.
5. At the end of the quiz we will announce who was first in with the correct theme and then we will tweet out who came fifth, fourth, third, second, and the winner.
6. At the start of each new month and during MondayMusicQuiz we tweet who the top 2 scorers were in the previous month.
Finally, the quizmistress is ALWAYS right!
