How is it possible to play trivia on 2 different channels at the same time? Could it be possible to log in on two different Playmakers with the same username and password? Like playing Six at 9pm EST on one playmaker and playing Sports Trivia at 9pm EST on another playmaker.

Answer to Q1: yes if you change your game and answer quickly by press menu, select Sports, answer, press menu and back to SIX.

Answer to Q2: Absolutely NO!!!! One box will cancel the other out when you do that.

OP's first two posts start this thread and the one regarding P+ points earned for every game. Why am I thinking OP is simply a P+ whore and doesn't care an iota about score?

I hope I'm wrong.

I guess I shouldn't make posts or ask questions about Buzztime Trivia on a messageboard about Buzztime Trivia. I don't play trivia on 2 channels at the same time like the screen shot I found below.

HStern, first, welcome to the forums, and you are free to post whatever you wish about Buzztime.

Everybody else, please remember the rules and be nice. Especially please refrain from calling people (insert term) whores.

Thanks!

Good for you. Double-dippers simply suck at both games.

Is this you? http://www.buzztime.com/players/bt_prof ... id=8758773

If so, how come you never play a complete game?

Either way, LOL at 23 games of PB and no average! http://www.buzztime.com/players/bt_prof ... &tn=trivia

Wow yeah if that is Hstern's #s then what is up with 2600+ games and only 130 wins and 2 top 100s?
And he's worried about some other guy playing sports for the P+? :roll:

Why do these people even bother playing? Really? What's the deal Hstern?

I do like to play trivia and I admit I'm not very good at it. I am trying to get better so I can improve my scores and learn new interesting facts. I know I'll never get to the level of trivia knowledge you guys have on here.

I did explain to Dante is what I meant was he is a point muncher. Besides I do agree on what BO says time to time.

It took me awhile til I play the games I am strong. Just play on what you know best and you will be good at it.

BTW how did you got 9m anyway??? Just wondering.

Playing for a little over 8 years. The reason I do so badly at Playback is because I always end up guessing the wrong answer and get whacked with the -250 everytime. Maybe I should just layoff those questions that give you negative points when you get it wrong.

Just think, if you made the threshold half the time, you'd be around 14-15 mil P+Ps.

yes, it is possible to play one game properly and pick up some extra points by answering a question or two of the other game during the breaks. Sports trivia and Countdown breaks are nearly simultaneous but the other games are sort of feasible.

I don't recommend this activity but I did try it a couple of times last year after the Sports Channel was intro'd.

I may be a lunatic, but I find it interesting that OP changed his/her handle. http://www.buzztime.com/players/bt_prof ... &tn=trivia

Alright, guys, lay off the newbie. Personal request. I understand the points raised, but we're not going to run new people off here as happened on the Buzztime forums.

Please wait a few months before you begin abusing people within the structure of the forum rules :)

Thanks!!!

OK, I'll be good, if I have to, I guess. Gotta find my meds I suppose.
