    It's been a while for a game due to personal reasons. There are two days to possibly have one game: Saturday (now today) and Sunday (tomorrow). The official time is 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern; however, the game can start earlier if two or more people show ready to play, and I'm there, too. For more information, see the website.

    This week's trivia game session is only tonight. I'm not available the other nights this week. Once again, the game starts roughly at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. It may start earlier if two people show up. For more information, see the website.

    Okay, I thought I posted about the game sessions this week, but I didn't. My apologies. Normally, it's Friday and Saturday in addition to Sunday, but today is a snow day. Add tonight to the mix with a start time of 6 to 7 PM Pacific, 9 to 10 PM Eastern. For more information about the game, see the game's website.

    Okay, it's time for the game sessions for the week of 3 Feb to 9 Feb: Sunday, Friday, and Saturday at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. It's the day of the Super Bowl, so Sunday's session can start late, but the on-time bonus is not given. Further, I'm going to send an email to the subscribers of the list with three questions. Whoever subscribes to the list should get that same email. I hope to post three questions for each session next week, too. Anyway, I hope to see some people there. For more information, visit the website.

    Okay, I'm posting this early into Sunday. LDS Trivia and Puzzles Game sessions for the week of 27 Jan to 3 Feb are tonight, Friday, and Saturday at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. For more information, see the website.

    Okay, it's a new week. For the week of 20 Jan to 26 Jan, there are four possible game days of LDS Trivia and Puzzles: tonight, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I'll keep the time at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. Monday is a day that a game can't start late. I'll post three pre-game questions to the mailing list in a moment. I hope to see some of you there. More information on the website.

    Okay, next week has three days for games: Sunday, Friday, and Saturday at the same time of 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. The first one will be today--tonight. I'll try once again and post three questions to the mailing list. If a game doesn't happen, I'll post again later in the week. See the website for details on how to get to the game.

    The first week of school is one day from finishing, but I hope to have one game in the next three days. For consistency, the time will still be 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern, but it can start up to two hours after six. Details on getting to the game are on the website. I made a change to the script, but I haven't updated the website, yet. The !pick and !guess commands are now optional. In fact, using the wrong command, except !puz, will still be accepted for what is asked. The !puz command is still recommended, especially for the player in control.

    This essay is long, and it covers many topics. I agree with @Jane_Doe: Who is your target audience, and what is your goal? I guess that the target audience is members of other Christian churches. I cannot guess what the goal is. Oh, wait, yeah, I can. The purpose, it looks like, is to show people how the LDS church is correct. This paper covers a lot of topics, so I have to say it's long. Divide this paper into other papers with a goal and target audience for each subject. As for this review, I'm trying to ignore the editing that this paper needs and focus on the content. The Faith and Works section is too long. At least, it looks too long. Decide on some arguments to remove. Move Prophecy of Apostasy to the beginning. There are more lost books of the Bible; however, that isn't relevant considering your target audience of other Christian members. This paper is a good beginning--or rough draft. There's more to consider regarding your arguments, but I think this is a good start.

    I'll have a game tonight at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern until about 8 PM Pacific. There's an on-time bonus for showing up at 6 PM. Hope to see you there. Pre-questions will be sent if people sign up for the mailing list. More details on the website.

    Okay, no one has responded to what time to do a game, so I'll try for a game of LDS Trivia and Puzzles either tonight or tomorrow night at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern until about 8 PM Pacific. There's an on-time bonus for showing up at 6 PM. Hope to see you there. More details on the game's website.

    (I forgot to put a message here about the next game.) This is the last week off before going back to school, and I have time this week to do a game, but I don't know which day. If anyone wants to have a game, please let me know of a day and time for one. Remember that I'm on Pacific Standard Time. Any times given without a time zone indication is on that time zone. If the time zone where you're at isn't known, indicate the country and the nearest major city, and I'll find out. More details on the game's website.
  13. Jeremy A
    Update: I still don't know of a time to do a game this week; however, I updated the access page on the website for Apple product users. I hope these detailed instructions make it easier to connect to the game.

    Okay, I would like to have a game this week, but I don't know what day to use. Since I'm out of school literally for the year, AND I no longer work, this gives me an opportunity to one game after Christmas this week, but I don't know what time. Let me know when to have a game. I'm on Pacific Standard Time, so please give a time in that timezone. If that isn't known, please tell me the nearest major country and city you live, and I'll look it up and adjust it. More information on getting to the game is on the website.

    The next game is tonight at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. More information on the website. Remember that subscribers to the notify list will get three pre-game questions to try to earn points at the start of the game.

    Okay, school is done for this year, so I hope to get one game done this coming week. After this week, I don't know when the next game will be due to personal circumstances that I won't say on Facebook. The two days is tonight on Monday and Wednesday at the same time. Remember that subscribers will get an e-mail containing three pre-game questions that can earn points at the beginning of the game. I hope to see you all there. For more information, see my website.

    A game didn't happen on Friday, so a game occurs on Saturday at the same time of 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. I hope to see someone then. See the website for more information on getting there. Subscribers of the mailing list got three pre-game questions to answer before the game starts. Players can start the game with points.
  18. Jeremy A
    Since I have time off from work, I thought it would be nice to take a break and play a game that occurs either Friday night or Saturday at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. I will post if a game happens on Saturday or time for next week. Either way, I hope to see people there. See the website for more information on how to get to the game. Remember that subscribers to the mailing list get three pre-game questions.
  19. Jeremy A
    The next game will be tomorrow, 2 Dec, at the usual time of 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. The notify list got three completely random questions. The answers are submitted at a certain point when the game starts. Remember that there's an on-time bonus of 5,000 for arriving at the game before 6 PM Pacific. I hope to see you there. Go to the website for information on how to get to the game.

    Here's a reminder that a game of LDS Trivia and Puzzles starts at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern tomorrow. Newsletter subscribers already got three questions, so please go to the website (http://www.ldstrivia.org ) to subscribe and get it. Whoever can give me the correct answers when the game starts will earn points. Being on time gets a bonus, too. Hope to see you there. By the way, a game can be done on Thanksgiving, but that will be done if people actually request it. It's a day to spend with family, but I can host a game if asked.

    The next game of LDS Trivia and Puzzles is tomorrow, Monday, 12 Nov, at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. All subscribers of the mailing list got an e-mail with three completely at random questions to answer. Only subscribers will get this. To get this message, please subscribe on the website: http://www.ldstrivia.org/. If you don't get the e-mail after subscribing, let me know. Anyone who is at the game on time will get a shot to answer those questions that won't be shown in the channel. Whoever gets the questions correct will get the points. Remember the on-time bonus still applies. I don't know if people are trying to sign up but can't due to technical problems. Let's have some fun and learn about the gospel at the same time. I hope to see you there.

    I like the idea of serving a mission as entirely optional. From what I can remember, I got a lot of people asking me if I was going to get baptized at age eight, and I felt pressure to get baptized. I doubt those people did it on purpose. Granted, that was a long time ago, but all they did was ask me. When it was time to prepare to serve a mission, the same thing happened. People asked me, and I felt a hint of pressure to do so. Even though some prep work was done, I ended up chickening out. I don't regret the decision, but I hope people will stop putting pressure on people to serve missions; unfortunately, it can be done without intent on doing so. As for pornography, there's an instinct to want to look at things that shouldn't be seen or watched. There are women out there that show off skin and sexiness, intentional and unintentional, with and without clothing. Oh, I better not forget the guys. Sorry. I forget the focus is more on women, but it's the same regarding a focus on men, even though it doesn't happen very often, or it's not spoken of as much. This instinct makes it difficult to resist the desire, but it is that desire needs to be fought. The consequences of seeing it is too numerous to mention here, especially when one is married.

    I thought to post when the next game is because it will be different than usual. Because I work on Sunday, I will not have a game; however, it's a school holiday on Monday so that I won't have school. I can hold a trivia game that night, which will be at the usual time of 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. Think of this as a GREAT Family Home Evening activity for the family. I'm going to try something for this next session to get people in. First of all, whoever shows up on time to the game will get 5,000 points right off the bat. Additionally, the day before, I'll send an e-mail to all subscribers in the notify list with a reminder of the next game AND three completely random questions. I will not change the point values or mark them as used. The objective is to get people to come to the game by thinking about the questions, including looking them up. Try to answer first before looking them up, please, but I can't enforce this. The people that show up on time to the game will get the answers and points if they provide the correct answers before the game officially starts. The newsletter will contain the right answers, which is sent only when after playing a game. If you want to sign up for the notify list and/or the newsletter, please see the website, send me an e-mail, or PM me here on Facebook. If you have difficulty signing up, please let me know. I don't know if people are trying to sign up but can't due to technical problems. Let's have some fun and learn about the gospel at the same time.

    Okay, the next LDS Trivia and Puzzles game session will be Sunday, October 28, 2018, the last for the month of October. The time is still the same: 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern. Remember that arriving on time gets 5,000 points right off the bat. I hope to see people there. Remember that I can only do these games once a week now due to school.
