Subject: Hated Team Heroes Topics
Posted by: Terry
Date: Sep 08 23
I have just added a handful of new Team Heroes topics that I believe have enough universal appeal as to work for the game.
On the other side of things, I'm curious if there are any universally reviled Team Heroes topics that (nearly) everyone wishes were removed from the game.
"Paganism" and "Universities & Colleges" are two that I have seen mentioned.
Any others that don't make great Team Heroes topics?

We're all in the same boat, though. Reply #81. May 14 24, 6:45 PM |

It seems like at least four out of seven days a week have been “wacky”, but what seems strange to me is that we have been getting more than a few repeats within just weeks of each other. Does the system need a quick kick in the pants, lol? Reply #82. May 15 24, 2:03 PM |

bubbles, you are not alone in thinking that. We were wondering why the "wacky" isn't limited to just Wednesdays. A kick in the pants might be timely. Reply #83. May 15 24, 2:19 PM |

I've been looking at my calendar just to make sure it isn't a Wednesday. Seems more like "Groundhog Day" the movie, only this one could be called "Wacky Wednesday" Day. Reply #84. May 15 24, 8:36 PM |

Today I learned that I know next to nothing about Terry Pratchett and his works. Reply #85. May 29 24, 8:06 PM |

Same. More and more days seem like Wacky Wednesdays in Team Heroes, no matter the day of the week anymore! I almost feel like there should be two heroes games running each day: a more general topic, and a more specific one. Lately, the game has skewed a lot more towards the latter. Reply #86.

While I have a plethora of topics I dislike, I would like to argue for the opposite and ask that you bring back Sports & Television categories, despite the fact that I will never do well in them. They're in the list for the team's history, but we have no chance of improving on our old scores because the topics never come up again. Reply #87. Jun 01 24, 1:00 AM |

I have to say, though, being tested on Terry Pratchett made me look into his stuff, and actually, if I can ever find time, I would like to read some of his books. Maybe there is something to be said for having to be questioned on things about which you know nothing. Reply #88. Jun 28 24, 4:16 PM |

Mormon or LDS. Also Math! I wish I would have listened to my math teachers instead of saying the classic " I'll never need to know this" day in and day out! Reply #89. Jul 31 24, 7:23 PM |

If Tuesday's Team Heroes = role playing... ...What torturous ordeal can we expect for Wednesday? Seriously -- if RPG isn't niche enough for you, pray tell what is! Reply #90. Mar 11 25, 12:34 PM |

Sports are not included because they are "too niche" apparently, but role-playing games isn't for some reason. Reply #91. Mar 12 25, 3:34 AM |

I think we should bring back Math. I would approve of getting rid of Role-Playing Games. I'm not strong on excluding any particular categories, I realize there are people on either side of the issue who like this or that category. But if it were up to me, I would probably exclude RPG, probably Musical Mixture too, Into the Woods, Rent, Disney, and anything else Musical related. For that matter, Hinduism, Mystery and Detective Fiction, Horses, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. I prefer top-level categories which have a general flare to them. A quiz on insects would be fine. I wouldn't like a quiz only about caterpillars. A math quiz is fine. An abstract algebra quiz is not. Maybe something like The Beatles would be okay since they were a group that transcended the music business. So I acknowledge the transcendence of some categories but generally speaking, music quizzes are fine. But a Shedaisy quiz, probably not fine. Reply #92. Mar 14 25, 7:42 AM |

Well, your list excludes several of my best categories. And that's the point of Heroes, to my mind - if we have a bunch of quizzes on it, that get play, that means we have someone here who is really in to it. The one player on your team who seldom does well in any of the games, but when Musicals, or or Opera, or some other category comes up, they get to shine. I don't mind playing categories I know nothing about, because every once in a while, I'm the hero. Reply #93. Mar 14 25, 1:27 PM |

I have actually never understood how math equations qualify as trivia. Reply #94. Mar 16 25, 3:40 PM |

Actually trivia comes from the Latin, tri via, meaning three roads, and is anything but trivial. It comprised grammar, rhetoric, and logic, while the quadrivia comprised arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. So you may be correct that math does not fall under trivia, however, it does fall under the quadrivia which is good enough for me. Not to mention math is a subset of logic which would then make it trivia. Reply #95. Mar 17 25, 9:13 PM |

Somebody, somewhere is rubbing their hands with glee over Manga as a topic, and will score 15 correct answers. That somebody is not me. Reply #100. Mar 26 25, 8:54 AM |
