This is Wiki Jeopardy! Here are today's contestants.
A former chat moderator, Rae!
A tourney finalist, Jake!
And the one and only, Monty!
And now, here is your host of Wiki Jeopardy!, Amy Kelly!
Thank you, myself! We got a treat for you guys today. I'm a huge fan of Jeopardy! and last night I had the brilliant idea to host a game of my own for some good ol' wiki peeps here. I told the people in CW's Discord server about it and got our three contestants to sign up. We held the game in a small groupchat and had ourselves a blast, and now it's being syndicated to this blog for the rest of you to enjoy! So have fun watching our three contestants -- Rae, Jake, and Monty -- work through some fun and confusing clues, as we start our first round.
We'll be dealing with Amy Facts, uh oh. Then asking ourselves, "who's that rapper?", discussing video games, and ERB, of course. There'll be "T Time"; every correct answer starting with the letter T. And we'll see how well our users know their fellow Wiki People.
We'll start with you, Rae, as you were the first to sign up for this game.

"ANSWER: In his famous story, “The Raven”, the eponymous bird rests atop the narrator’s bust of this Greek titan."

He answered right, and doubled his score to $1,200. Goode job. Next up was Rae.
She answered correctly as well and also doubled her score! Now at $4,400, she still trails the runaway Jake. How did he do?
