Today we had a History of International Relations competition concerning the First World War. We were split into two teams - the Entente and the Triple Alliance. I was the leader of the second team so I asked my teammates to call me "Your Majesty Wilhelm". We were supposed to ask each other different kinds of questions about the war. The only condition was to ask questions that required discussing or analysing.
Before the beginning of the competition, we decided to exchange a couple of correct answers because the questions were very challenging. No sooner did our professor enter the auditorium, than the bloody battle began.
Unfortunately, most of my teammates except for a couple of people didn't know the materials on the First World War very well, but this didn't stop us from scoring a huge number of points. We answered almost all the questions correctly and won the competition! I suppose that we somehow "changed" the history - the Triple Alliance beat the Entente while everything happened otherwise in reality.
Our professor gave us 10 points according to our university system of students' knowledge evaluation. Our opponents were given just three points. In my opinion, our professor's decision was unfair because some of them knew pretty much and deserved to get extra points.
