100,000 people killed -- all at once? Were they actually killed? Or just killed on stage? As part of a game? | ||

Was the city where the people were killed Dresden? Hamburg? Berlin? Did the event take place in a city? In a building? In more than one building? Outside? Underground? On the water? Was it a competition? Just to clarify, as I am a bit confused, please can you indicate which of these assumptions are incorrect: the event involved a team of people, from the US, who have no connection to your team but who do/did the same thing as your team. They didn't travel to Germany from the US, but the event took place in Germany. Did the people live in Germany? Did they travel to Germany from another country? Did the team involved in the event do a particular sport? If so, did they do that sport during the event? Did they do something other than a sport? If so, did they do that other thing during the event? Is it right that your team does the same thing as that team? Does your team do the same thing as that team did in Germany? Does your team do a particular sport? Does it do something else? Is the name of your team relevant? Is the name of the other team relevant? Did your financial benefit involve travelling to Germany? | ||

Ah, OK, so the first event was the bombing of Dresden, and the second event was a competition in the US and involved the team of people...is this right? I have had the wrong idea. And the team of people did the same thing that your team do? So, is the competition a regular event? Was it a one-off? Was the competiton related to music? Academia? Any kind of physical activity? Any kind of game? In order to participate in the competiton, did people have to speak? sing? dance? act? perform physical actions? play musical instruments? write? do calculations? remember things? recite? spell? draw? paint? assemble things? solve problems? recall facts? | ||
