I think NTN had a game similar to this 10 years ago. I do not remember its name.

"Forget the Facts. It's a Popularity Contest!

Check out this LIVE bar game! Each week we poll Buzztime fans with fun survey questions, then turn around and ask YOU what the #1 answer was. Can your team guess the #1 response to each question? The opinions might surprise you! Want to play at an OpinioNation LIVE event? Talk to the staff at your favorite Buzztime bar to set one up!



Sign-up for our weekly survey email:

Email:________________________

Subscribe Unsubscribe"


Oh, my God, it asks you for your e-mail address. From experience, I'm not falling for that again. I didn't read anywhere that NTN wouldn't share (sell) my e-mail address with others. Many years ago I signed up for a survey that wanted my e-mail address, and after I did I started getting around 80 e-mails a day from companies trying to sell me things. (Not an exaggeration.) I tried to tell them to stop harassing me with their spam, but they didn't care, and kept spamming me day after day.

Please excuse my cynicism, but I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't an attempt by NTN to increase their revinues, by selling your e-mail address to companies that would like to try to sell you things.

I ain't doing it, and I would suggest that you don't get sucked in too.

p.s. Yeah, I might be wrong about this, but before you sign up for it, I strongly suggest that you find out if my concerns are wrong before you do.

Considering BT already has your email address, what difference does it make? (or at least most use a valid email address associated with their P+ account)

Why take the time for the survey anyway? They won't listen to reason.

I can't see how I can begin to reply to the survey they sent me- I have no local site and the closest buzztime site is in Victoria, a mountain range and about 350 miles away. Although I must admit that the site finder shows several places on the mainland of BC as being within driving distance,(that is if you ignore the fact that there is a vast quantity of water between me and the mainland, requiring driving to a ferry, spending over 1 hour and a half sailing merrily on the water, with a half hour drive on the mainland to reach the first buzztime site.
Typical!

have fun at triviapaloosa gang - :roll:

I might be wrong, but I believe NTN promised that your e-mail address as a registered trivia player would not be shared with anyone else, and so far it hasn't. However, I'm not so sure that this new survey deal offers the same guarentee. I'm not going to try this new survey thing, but I'm sure some of the trivia players on this site will. Hopefully, those that do, will give us feedback as to whether or not my conerns were right.

I agree with you about not wasting time to take a survey that no one will listen to anyway. :lol:

The survey will be used to write the questions for this new opinion game, it is not about what you think of BT.
The survey will ask what movies you like, what you eat for breakfast, what you are most likely to find under your car seats....it's Family Feud questions and this is the survey to write them.

This opinion on demand game will not work just as the live trivia game is pretty much non existent.

There is no way on demand games will ever work. People come into the bars to play a game that is on at that time, if someone schedules an on demand game instead, there will be trouble. If it's announced and it's weekly then people will know when not to frequent that bar. :mrgreen:

Any room for us to have some fun here or do people have to pick from a preset list?

The thing that's most bothersome is buzztime refuses to take the time to write all new questions for the weekly premium games.

But now it's taking the time to put together a Family Feud game that very few people will end up playing anyway.

To quote Charlie Brown, aaaaaaaugh!

Well, hell. As luck would have it, a few months ago I was unfortunate enough to be present at the sneak preview of OpinionNation at the BWW closest to NTN Buzztime's offices. All I got out of it was four lost Lunchtime Trivia games. :(

I did have a brief word with the NTN employee who hosted. I told him that IMO OpinionNation *might* be good for a change of pace, but not as a substitute for premium content. :roll:

As of a few weeks ago, that same BWW is showing OpinionNation on Wednesdays, preempting Six. During my last visit to that BWW, I told their general manager that their decision to show OpinionNation then had all but removed them as a viable option for my visiting them on Wednesday evenings (FWIW, I usually visit there one Thursday a month).

I would be absolutely furious if that stupid ass game replaced SIX. I think it should replace Showdown.

If they combined this game with an updated "Know Your Server" .. hey, I might play it a few times. :o

Well, hell. Another of the few sites in NTN Buzztime's Site-Poor Backyard (The Draft in Oceanside, formerly a franchise of that half assed clone of BWW, Wings, Pizza & Things :roll:) is now showing this godawful, horrible abomination, on Tuesdays starting 6:30, killing both Glory Daze and Showdown.
