Re: ESOC history quiz
Anyone scoring under 9 points is reassigned to ESOC education camp. Anyone scoring above 19 is figuratively guillotined for cheating.

I think somewhere around 15-20 got the full points for this one, but I can't be bothered to read all of the answers again to verify. Interestingly though, both basement members who took the quiz got it wrong:Doctor dee one cee kay, boobs brigade, Gustav, cheddar, and the ear went to wildwood. The latter three were (allegedly) too loud at night, so doctor dee one cee Kay and boobs brigade left the hotel in the morning before the trip ended and demanded that the core basement posters pay for the hotel costs (they are thus commonly referred to as "the extortionists"

Re: ESOC history quiz
I didn't know one of the easiest questions haha (the Bernie Sanders one). To be fair, I never followed any of the politics threads.

Did Zoi really have 3 betting victories or its fake news?
Re: ESOC history quiz

Re: ESOC history quiz
"kami_ryu" I couldn't remember his alt name while filling but i lost 6 points how did i end up with 17? did you cut points for giving more than 1 ans? I would have given first ans right followed by the second best answer.
My score needs to be re-evaluated i should get 18/24 and if i remembered kami_ryu ez 19
