[note=Rules]1. There are six categories, with five point values in each category. The game lasts until all clues have been answered or passed on, or until the end of the month, whichever comes first. At the end of the game session, the winner receives a sig trophy (hopefully to be designed by someone else ;))

2. The first one with the correct answer will get the points. Answers must be phrased in the form of a question. If you give an incorrect answer you must wait at least 1 hour before attempting it again.

3. You must wait at least one hour to answer a question about your own setting. You cannot select your own setting when picking a category unless there are no other options.

4. When you give an answer, also give your choice and point value for the next question.

5. If a question has not been correctly answered after 24 hours, we'll move on, with the a question randomly chosen by the host.

6. There will be a Double Jeopardy round only if we finish the first early enough in the month.[/note]
In honor of the old trivia thread, I'm starting a new form game. I will host the first month's game, and hopefully someone else will be interesting in doing future months. Ish and I talked about it a little bit, and we hope it'll spark interest in some of the settings of our members. So we really encourage everyone to play.

For this first game, the first person to post a response will get to pick the category and point value.

Oh, this promises to be fascinating.

you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline

[spoiler=commentary]Due to the way that information is documented (i.e., "poorly"), that may be a rather difficult question. My bad.[/spoiler]

 [spoiler The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins]In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

We will accept that answer (in light of LC's commentary), as that is a name for the world. We would also have accepted the Cardan name "What is Marebo?".

200 for Atlantis!

You guys can actually pick the next category in the same post as you give the answer. I think that'll be the best way to keep things moving.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.
