Template:Player anecdotes

Template documentation

Adds a section with consistent formatting listing 3 unique anecdotes from a list at "{{CURRENTPAGE}}/anecdotes". Current behavior is to fetch the list using and then pick the n, 2n, and 3n-th entries, where n is the current day index. If there are fewer than three, it will omit those bullet points.

NOTE: Currently refs are not supported in lists, including anecdote pages.

Anecdotes

Full list: here

• Matt's involvement in a long argument about a NASAT tossup on the United States-Canada border spawned the parodic phrase "true knowledge of the Pig War" to describe the question's failure to reward Jacob Wasserman's "real knowledge".
• At one point Carsten Gehring and Mike Cheyne referred to the duo of Bollinger and Evan Adams as "Rizzoli and Isles" respectively in reference to the unpopular TNT program - an attempt to find other quizbowlers to fit the similarly-titled TNT show Franklin & Bash was inconclusive.
• The answerline of "zeppelins" was briefly a facetious benchmark of absurd difficulty after Matt insisted that a NASAT tossup on zeppelins written by Mike Cheyne was extremely difficult to answer.
