Friday night quiz

I think actually the situation hasnt really been explained properly, of course we know how to use the iggy button, of course we know not to react to the scroller, just in this case non of the above were possible as it kept happening so quickly, shortly after the questions were asked, so (a) its not possible to get a guide that quickly and (b) its not possible to use the iggy button as the scroller comes in in different names and scrolls so quickly makes it impossible to carry on.

What is being said here is it is very difficult to find help quickly, i.e a chat guide. i do know guides give their time voluntary and for the most part do a good job too, but, it would be useful maybe for a small message in all the rooms if guides are off duty or very thin on the ground, to read ‘if you need a guide there is one in room……etc, or, have on guide on ‘call’ if that makes sense?

In an ideal world , it would be great if a guide could be in the room on quiz nights, but I know this isnt always possible. does Just Chat actually have enough guides?

I realise that JC has to have a certain calibre of people for guides but there are a lot of chatters who would make very good guides.

*coughs*

Cath you and I and the others know that almost every single quiz there is there is a guide present …. sometimes tho just sometimes they have to put themselves, their families and their own sanity first ….. hell some have even been known to take the odd holiday … shame on them eh ??
As for an on call guide eh that sounds fun….. yes pls give up your evening, weekend etc (voluntarily of course) and spend your entire time waiting in anticiaption for a row. Sorry husbands.wives, social life etc i cant go out tonight im sitting in waiting to see if someone kicks of in the chatroom.
Oh and pls make sure you dont get drunk waiting as this will surely not enhance your performance in you quest of chase the muppet

Hows about each and everyone of you that arent happy with the guides etc walk a mile in their shoes then come back with the answer

*Pls do not all rush at once form an orderly queue *

/rant over

Or perhaps they should be obliged to add users to their msn so that even when they are off duty, (yes OFF duty, shocking isn’t it?) a user can send them a message to ask for their assistance in dealing with the moron?

.

I remember that one well :?

I like a silly sod used to trip off and have a look ..oh yeah… “boot” … only for someone else to ask :?

A solution for the quiz room would surely be quiz starts at a certain time with a guide present and the room is locked. Any scrollers in there would be booted and unable to get back in. Alternatively (and some will object) you pay for access in the same way you pay to reserve your “name” somehow and the quiz room is set up thazt only those who have paid get in

what about my suggestion (stomps off in a huff)
