Rant on Social Quizzers

We're on the subject of quizzing, I feel a well needed overdue rant coming along, let's combine the two. Today I will rant about SOCIAL QUIZZERS.

Social Quizzers is a term I made up. A social quizzer is a quizzer who just goes to quizzing just for fun and to socialize with friends. Social quizzers are not serious quizzers; they slack off, and don't care how bad they do (and because of so they often do poorly). They treat quizzing as another youth group event, like duct taping someone to the wall or doing "Draw Your Swords" (seeing who can find the Bible verse the fastest). Social quizzers just go to quizzing to eat, drink, talk to friends, goof off, do nothing, find a boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.

If you can't tell, I do not like social quizzers. I do not support anyone becoming a social quizzer. They get in the way of serious quizzers and hold them back. This is why most serious quizzers are in support of stacked teams. Stacked teams THEORETICALLY (notice how I stress this, there are exceptions) are consisted of serious quizzers who do well, not social quizzers who are slow to study.

I have something to say to Social Quizzers. Take quizzing seriously, or don't quiz. There are many quizzers in quizzing who are extremely serious and competitive. They do not like to be losing or held back because they have a careless quizzer on their hands. Quizzing is competitive, not just another another game. If you want somewhere to socialize with others, eat & drink, be goofy & do nothing, or play games just for fun, join a youth group not a quiz team. Quizzing is not another youth group game or event. However, if you are looking for something to put your bible knowledge to t)he challenge, to prove how much you know of the Bible, and to get your talents realized, then quizzing is the thing for you.

Now, I don't want to give the wrong idea of serious quizzers. Serious quizzers are not always serious. They can have fun as well. But serious quizzers know that quizzing is not the place for that. I would advise all quizzers to remember Ecclesiastes 3. There is a time and season for everything. There is a time to be serious and a time to be funny. Quizzing is a time to be serious.
