Great this is back! Though it means I may not be keeping my title for long... I'll give some thought to hosting something, maybe in one of the later weeks.
Can you put me down for week 3 please? Format TBC.
If Bre's doing a quiz this season I think he should pick an early week... for obvious reasons
Still keen to get some more quiz hosts, especially for next week if anyone is willing to host something then!
I can do another Quick Fire quiz - don't mind hosting next week.
I can take Week 4! Format to be decided but could potentially attempt another round of Dingbats.
My quiz will be called 'Mango's Quiz of Two Halves'
I'm also happy to take a slot in one of the later weeks if there's still gaps (the takeup seems a little slack so far) as I've got a few ideas for a second quiz.
I can confirm that my round will be Dingbats as well, I've started compiling the first few now!

After some deliberation, I've decided to change my quiz format for next week to an Album Covers quiz. As it seems likely that there may be gaps to fill in later weeks I'll save my Two Halves quiz for then!

We're actually counting "G" and "D" to this? *_*
Even after consulting with Chris I couldn't decide whether to or not but went with it in the end - in any case I highly doubt they'll be scoring points in any subsequent quizzes so they'll be gone from the leaderboard soon enough.
Do we have any idea who they actually are? 😂
haha I thought the same, but seems like a lot of trouble for a game that's just supposed to be fun
I can do a quiz for week 6 (to launch on 14th March with results on the 21st) - Song Title Anagrams!
but at least it looks like 1 person,
sure there are not 2 newies, one called G and one called D,
certainly it looks like the same person to me
Also could we have some more willing volunteers please to host a future quiz on one of the available weekly slots?
Just a reminder to Pete who kindly offered to host a quiz this week if that’s still possible.
Another invite for more hosts in the coming weeks if you have an idea of something to arrange for everyone!
Mine will be coming this evening, don't worry! All is prepared, just need to add the finishing touches before posting.

How am I up to third after a dismal performance in Pete’s quiz?
So close between 3rd and 10th! Assume Mango’s easily 3rd after the compensation points though.
I think my name should also be starred Mango! Lots of falling for those who missed out on my round
Sorry, corrected that now! And yeah but it's their own fault for not taking part.
Yup fully deserve to take the hit! I remembered about the quiz after the deadline and didn't think I'd have the time to send in late answers while working. In hindsight I should've just sent in one answer or something as that alone would've been worth it ah well, apologies, will try and manage my time better.
I had absolutely no clue for the Dingbats round I'm afraid so I'll take the fall.
Think I should do reasonably well for NMTBJs though so I could still be top 10 by the end.
There's been very few entries for NMTBs so far, so anyone who enters is pretty much guaranteed points even if they only get 1 right!
There is another quiz going on right now in the Lounge about this here forum with cash prizes celebrating Buzzjack's 15th birthday, for anyone that may be interested, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=243948

Thanks for the update Mango!
There are still available slots for hosting quizzes in April for anyone interested.
EDIT: A suggested quiz not yet hosted this season would be Family Fortunes!
Where am I on the leaderboard?
My plan had been to play for a full season before I started offering to host anything, but if we’re still really short I don’t mind doing a Family Fortunes in a few weeks’ time.

Seems a bit unfair that Jim shouldn't at least claim last place points for his own quiz, but up to him!
Amazed to be so high for now, even if various key participants are on ACR.
Just to confirm that I'm more than happy to pass up any compensation points from my own quiz, as I'm genuinely humbled that people took so much of their time in participating in it, whether they originally intended to or not.
I'm not declaring myself out of the running for this series by the way, I very much want to defend my title, even if I have to do it the hard way
Still think Jim's being unnecessarily harsh on himself but it's a very noble gesture - should make the title race very interesting!
Another call for hosts, the next five slots are all empty so can we have some more sign ups? I've got lots of ideas that I haven't used up in previous quizzes so I'm sure I can put something together but I don't think anyone wants me to host the remaining five weeks in a row and it would be better if there was a greater variety of hosts and quizzes.
Guess the #1 song by initials anybody?
Something like this:
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234215
That sounds good. I've actually got something similar in mind lined up for a future quiz but if you can come up with one then go for it just let Wardy know what week you can host it so he can add you to the schedule!
Dan has offered to host a Pointless Fortunes round this weekend and we've cut the schedule from 12 to 10 weeks so there's only two more slots left if anyone wants to claim them

didn't know about this...just entered my answers to this week's quiz
Still looking for a host for the final quiz of the season next week. If no one else comes forward I can scramble something together although that would be my third quiz of the season and I'm not sure how people would feel about this, especially given that I'm doing quite well on the leaderboard and could potentially win?
I've decided I'm just not very good at these quizzes. Apart from the albums covers one where I got lucky and worked out the connection and it all came together, I've scored low every other time.
I mean... woe is me and all that... 😂
OK, I have about 8 Family Fortunes questions and I'm sure I can think of a few more by Sunday, so I can do that as the last quiz of the series.
What day/time is best for results? If it's on a Monday night I'll go with that, although with a Sunday night deadline if there's a flurry of last-minute entries, that's not ideal with work the next day Maybe results on the Sunday evening?
Thanks Jim, you choose whatever schedule best works for you as the host, but thank you for your willingness to come forward, I’ll add you to the schedule.
Thanks Jim

I'm 22 points clear at the top with my compensation points added, so I need to do pretty badly in the last quiz to surrender my victory... kinda nervous now because FF is always so unpredictable and some of the questions look really hard
I think you’ll be safe Mangø - unless Jim “loses” your Family Fortunes entry!
Well at least there are 4 of us still in contention... but realistically, 3 of us, and maybe Chris, are playing for 2nd place. The real question is whether Mangø can beat my 29.4 points winning margin from last series!
Why is it only on for 10 weeks? Will there be more quizzes coming up? I'm kicking myself for not knowing about this until only last week
A season usually runs for 12 weeks but we were struggling for hosts this time so we cut it to 10 weeks. I expect there'll be another season later in the year!
It is usually 10 weeks actually! Awardinary planned on expanding it but there just isn't enough hosting volunteers. I think it should take a long rest after this season anyhow, Quarter 4 is probably the best time for S5.
More reason, if you haven't already, to make sure to enter the final quiz of the series (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=244872) before the deadline of 21:00 tonight!

Looking forward to defending my title in Q4
Well done Mango, I’m really pleased for you, and a special thanks to all your hard work behind the scenes and helping me massively with the responsibilities of making this quiz season happen. All credit goes to you, and of course to Dan & Pete for allowing this season to go ahead earlier than they might have anticipated!
I enjoyed this quiz series, really pleased with 6th place overall as well! Huge congratulations to Mango on that deserved win as well, enjoy the widget when it arrives, and thanks to everyone who hosted!
Thanks everyone - it’s the first season I’ve played and it’s been an absolute blast! It’s been frustrating, rewarding, challenging and educational and overall really made my lockdown much more enjoyable. And thanks for giving me the chance to host one as well.
Many congratulations Mangø - I note that even if Jim hadn’t generously forfeited his host points you’d have won anyway! He would have come 2nd though, so thanks for letting me onto the podium Jim!
Congrats to Mango for taking over my series title - very well deserved!
Well done also to Bjork, who scored the most points in other people's quizzes, and to Julian for also finishing in the medal positions!
Thanks to Wardy and Mango for running the series, and to all the other hosts, plus everyone for taking part!
Congrats Mango and thanks to all the various hosts who put time into making this Quiz Season happen!
congrats Mango well done
and thanks everyone for hosting & organising
Congrats Mango and thanks to all the organisers!
I had a bit of a fall from grace this year
Season 1: 2nd
Season 2: 2nd
Season 3: 6th
Season 4: 13th
here's to getting back in the top 10 next time x
I know nothing has been officially discussed yet, but I just thought I’d take the opportunity to do a quick survey if there was any interest for another quiz season, and, also if you would be prepared to host one quiz as last time round we struggled for hosts.
It is of course at the chart moderators discretion, but I didn’t see the harm in asking the question first to see what interest there is.
They’re a nice distraction so I’m always happy to see them run if people want to host
Yep - happy for them to make a return and am happy to host one as usual!
I’d be happy for these to resume (as I did mention at the time Q4 would be best to bring in Season 5) - would you like to host the sign up and leaderboard thread again awardinary/Mango?
I've got a lot on at the moment but I'm happy to host at least one week if there's enough interest.
I’d be happy for these to resume, I enjoyed having a go at the last few quizzes when I first joined BuzzJack.
Hey, I'm happy to host. I've got a quiz all lined up if u wanted to start it soon, just DM me!
