Avatar Portal's

Avatar Renaissance Championships

Battle #5: Second Trivia

This was designed, hosted and judged once again by ScarletCougar.

And so I had the pleasure of writing yet another trivia! This one was easier and shorter, or so I thought. I made an error, however, and accidentally dated it for the 19th instead og the 12th of July. Thus I allowed two replacements for the short notice when Air's original team were not available.

In third place was Flam from the Water Tribes with 28 / 30 earning 25 points for her team.

In second place was Avatar Azula from the Earth Kingdom with 28.5 on 30 earning 25 points for her team.

And in first place was Uncle Iroh from the Fire Nation with 29.5 / 30 earning 100 points for his team. He scored 29.5 / 30 in the last trivia and won it as well. He is the running Trivia Champion so far!

I have to... absolutely HAVE to make an honorable mention. Conzu of the Fire Nation did not score quite high enough to earn any points, BUT... his answers were so damned funny!!! Thanks for the laugh, Conzu!

RULES

Only the Nation members were permitted to enter. Answers were to be PM’ed to ScarletCougar, who would not indicate whether anyone was right or wrong till the battle was over. Anyone editing their answer posts would be disqualified. Battle was to end July 12 at NOON EST.

Conzu had answered #2 with “ [A fake EK propaganda guy called:] Fire Nation Man” which made for a very good laugh.
