Tea Gang – simply despicable
Quiz nights are a great way to pass otherwise uneventful Tuesday nights for me. It’s a great way to pit your well of useless information against people who are also geeks and nerds about certain topics. Most of the questions fall under pop culture (movies, music and the like), geography, history, sports trivia and the occasional food topic. Quiz masters sometimes throw a curve ball by asking about constellations (by simply looking at them!) and otherwise obscure but still fun to know topics.
I’ve always loved winning quiz nights but with subsequent trips to play, it has become less important to me to win. We’ve played against really good teams at 121 Pasong Tamo Extension. The most formidable of which is Urban Fervor who are generally a solid bunch until Billboard charts questions are asked. To be fair, my team sucks at sports trivia (one of Urban Fervor’s strengths).
Other teams have also won this year but The Strippers have won 11 times – easily more than any other team and even more than all the other teams combined.
What’s really annoying is that this team called Tea Gang have resorted to cheating just to get ahead in the game. Despite being next to the quiz master during the last quiz night, they still dared to try to pull a few fast ones when they thought nobody was looking. All the other regulars have noticed their not-so-inventive techniques and it’s a shame that they’re claiming innocence despite their blatant disregard for the rules.
I don’t really care about winning anymore – you just can’t expect to win every time. But when you lose, it’s always better to lose to a better team who doesn’t resort to copying off other teams’ answers. The quiz masters have turned a blind eye on this despite the strong protests coming from different teams. Fortunately, a lot of the competing teams are already convinced that Tea Gang engages in shameless forms of cheating and are absolutely on the lookout for further attempts to undermine a supposedly fun activity.
Tea Gang, we’re all watching you.
