Title: What about starting the Quiz again?
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 14 May 2008, 23:05:58
We used to do a quiz on the forum as alot of people may remember, it was brilliant fun for all who joined in. Even other members of your family could join in... mine did.
It also brought alot of members closer together like being down the local pub, but not if that makes sense....
Now we have more members does anyone fancy running it again?

I don't think theres much point in having a quiz :-?, as there was too much cheating going on and googling >:(, backhanders and all that ::), it's was just too corrupt ;D. However, that was never proven and only speculation but the rumours did abound following the quiz results :D

Oh, you mean a Quiz!  From the way some people were bellyaching, I assumed there was something more complicated involved.

Slartibartfast is a Planet Builder.  I don't believe in Wizards.  :)

Something like a Buddy Network Quiz :y...but some weeks you have to take the fall to let the other team win :y...so it's all very fair an all that ;D ;D

Nothing complicated for us........
The Boy went to a lot of trouble to get the questions to come up on a part of the forum, how I don't know but it worked well...
Each team has a Captain (Mike Dundee is brilliant as he always wins) ;)  his team use MSN to confer there answer, then the Captain fills in the answer section that The Boy has set up....
It is a laugh when your all trying to give what you think is the answer to the captain in the time limit that is set by again The Boy....
This is why we need far more people to play..

I'm happy to do another trial of the quiz, but we need more participation than last few times to justify the effort in putting in extra development.

As many of the newer members won't really know how it works, lets set a date if we can get 6 or more teams, and new members can watch if they dont want to join in.

To make it a regular feature, I think we'd be looking at at least 10 teams...
