Of course...well the whole thing is pretty simple.

We need two teams and a moderator that will ask the questions (he needs to have all the 4 books) and then confirm the answers and the quotes that support them.
I guess we first need the moderator.
Then the teams can be chosen, I guess in such a way so that they are as equal as possible and that all are happy with their colleagues.
The moderator then PMs each member of each team the question at the same time (you can send PM to multiple users).
Then the teams have a certain amount of time (I'm thinking 48hrs to come up with the answer AND the quote that supports it).
The answer and the quote must be sent as a PM to the moderator in time, otherwise they don't count.
The PM then changes the score; each team receives
  • 0 points for a wrong answer,
  • 1 point for a correct answer, but no quote,
  • 2 points for a correct answer and a correct quote.
If by chance the team gives another answer that however also is correct (that's a mistake by the mod, but can happen) they still receive the points.

After a specific number of questions the team with more points wins. If there is a tide we will have a sudden death thing, the first team that gets more points then the other wins.

I guess it's all pretty simple, if anyone has questions then please ask.

PS: team members are to first agree upon an answer before they PM it, however should a member send an answer that the others don't agree with it will count, so please first decide together what you'll answer

I guess PMs are a good way to talk to each other, or using an IM.

As far as the moderator position is concerned I have no problem doing that.
