That was a bit harder than I thought it would be. Keebler question stumped me, the Folding one (which surprised me), and the country one. Then again, I only briefly searched around.
But six of you thought he had to pee, two thought he applied for a job at my old company, Sarcnet, and FIVE of you thought he was making a chart of member bathrooms for a prank. This says a lot about Lincoln
The trickiest question, judging by the sheer number of wrong answers:
Which one of these countries has NOT been represented in person at an Icrontic event?
Five of you got it right: South Africa. Three of you said "Sweden", but Marcus (Mackanz) came to visit in 2006. Somebody said "United Kingdom", which boggles my mind and leads me to believe you were just guessing. Here's where it gets tricky; nine of you said China, but Leishi85 is from China and he was at Short-Media LAN 2004. TEN of you said Kenya but Mondi is from Kenya, and he's been to several LANs.
When did Short-Media.com turn back into Icrontic.com?
How could you get this wrong? A simple Google search would tell you this; still, six of you got it wrong, which to me is just sheer laziness.
Which one of these games does Icrontic NOT offer an achievement for?
Again, four of you got this wrong. LAZY. A glance at our achievements page is enough to answer this one.
Who wrote and recorded the "Short-Media Song"?
Strangely, a lot of people said "DJ Quack", which means they just saw the "DJ" and guess that it must be him. Wrong. It's Spinner, derp.
Which one of these has NOT been the name of an Icrontic webserver?
A bit tricky, to be sure, but spending some time with the site search would tell you that the correct answer is, of course, snuffie.icrontic.com. bart was named after deceased Icrontic member Bart Williams, and mortin. and keith. both refer to deceased Icrontic founder Keith "Mortin" Whitsitt.
The folding mascot question was another one that tons of people got wrong. The answer is the Folding Crawfish. Again, methinks you people need to work on your Google-fu.
Three people got the last question wrong, which is just inexcusible. I mean, all you need to do is search for Icrontic Subscriber and it leads you to the answer.
That said, here are the eight winners of the game:

First thing I've won in years. Speaking of which, the last thing I won was at the '08 lan. I hereby accept the prize on behalf of all those that are glad Prime's kids, his dogs and the dishwasher didn't win all the prizes.

That is incredibly cool! Thank you to prime for the difficult, butt fun! contest and the anonymous member who donated the games.
I can't tell you how excited I am to play, and how much I enjoy fun little games and trivia like this.
So much ^5 and <4.

FINE. I'll study up.
Proposal: we add Icrontic drunken trivia as an Epic event.
So, to the answer key:
Why did General Keebler ask if there was a bathroom at Sarcnet HQ back in 2003?
Fifteen of you got it right:
Because he wanted to come to the first Short-Media LAN
But six of you thought he had to pee, two thought he applied for a job at my old company, Sarcnet, and FIVE of you thought he was making a chart of member bathrooms for a prank. This says a lot about Lincoln
