Novelist or author? That is the question. Two separate things, yet both uncharted territories for me. What a challenging visual handout for round number two! Identifying contemporary novelists? No thank you. It was so difficult, no one dared to double down on their answers. It affected everyone's doubling mojo! It wasn't until the 5th round that anyone even tried to double at all! That's where everything took off, when Get Out of Here, Ghost! (1st picture) and Interrobang Gang nailed the find the connection round. Not to be out done, the Ancient Geezers (3rd picture) stepped up their double or nothing game and doubled down successfully in the 6th AND 7th round. It wasn't enough though, they came up just ONE point short of first place. I could hear the group blaming the "Turn of the Screw" question for ruining their chances. They didn't let that ruin the rest of their night though, they were just happy to place (since they thought I was a bad luck charm due to the fact that they hadn't placed since I took over Quizmaster duties at Founder's). Also having a good time? Sparrow Biscuit (2nd picture)! They didn't let their score affect their good time either. What good sports! Better luck next time, ya'll!
