Recap for Five Point Five Brewing Company
“Some Nights Are Close… and Then There’s Whatever Jon Solo Was Doing”
A lively night at Five Point Five, featuring tight competition at the top, bold wagering, and exactly one team that treated the scoreboard like a suggestion.
Let’s break down the chaos.
The Podium
1st Place: DaNile — 92 points
After a sluggish 7-point start, DaNile got reinforcements and rose dramatically from the dead like a trivia-themed mummy movie. Huge rounds across the board, multiple 20s, and a confident final wager carried them to the top. Sometimes denial is a river in Egypt — and apparently it flows straight to victory.
2nd Place: Casual Encounters — 90 points
Started hot, sagged in the middle, powered back up when it mattered. The 20-point wager was the difference between silver and bronze… or worse. Casual Encounters: come for the trivia, stay because you accidentally created romantic tension with the scoreboard. Happy Birthday, Lisa!
3rd Place: Tipsy Dick — 79 points
Rock-solid through Round 7, then chose violence by wagering zero at the end. A bold choice. A safe choice. A choice that screams, “We do not trust ourselves.”
Competent Middle-Class Trivia Citizens
Like A Deck of Cards — 67 points
Started strong, then folded slower than a distracted poker dealer. Good effort, but the deck was not stacked in their favor tonight.
The Fleeting Beans — 67 points
Strong early game but hit the gas pedal exactly never. Also took a zero on the final, which is certainly one strategy. Fleeting Beans: they exist, and then they don’t.
Frank Angelo Captanis — 58 points
A steady climb with a respectable 20 on the final. They did not threaten the podium, but they also didn’t embarrass themselves — which is more than some can say.
Vibin Jellies — 54 points
Vibes were present. Jelly was present. Big Round 6 helped, small everything else did not. But hey, a positive final wager kept them safely above water.
The “We Tried, Please Clap” Tier
Sofa King Awesome — 43 points
A promising midgame wrecked by a –10 final wager that went about as well as putting a sofa on a king-sized waterbed. Just… splashy chaos.
Torranceal Downpour — 40 points
A decent first half, then the rain came. A –10 final wiped out any chance of a comeback. Truly a forecast of “partly correct with a chance of disaster.”
Hunter and Gatherers — 28 points
They hunted. They gathered. Unfortunately, none of what they gathered were high-value points.
The “We Were Physically Present” Award
Jon Solo — 12 points
Started slow, plateaued immediately, and then stayed there forever. Zeroes for the entire second half. It’s called Solo for a reason — they walked alone… to the bottom of the standings. Actually, he left after round 4 to save the Galaxy!
