Well, I just put up a quick thread to see if anyone wanted to take one, but didn't really get any responses...so I went ahead and made the quiz anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I had some questions that I had gathered before, and I went and gathered some more now. I will post the questions and their point value here. If you want to take the test, please don't post your answers here, instead, PM them to me and I will grade them. For simplicity's sake, I pretty much used the same format as Six's BG2 quizzes. Also, any question in <font color=red>red</font> will result in a loss of 1 point if you answer incorrectly, but will result in no loss if you leave the answer blank.

Edit: Changed a few typo errors that Six pointed out, and I also switched Elminster with Cyric as Six pointed out that a God should be above the wizard.

I also made another question where if you get it wrong, you lose points. (Six, don't worry about it on your quiz, I made sure it's one that you got right or left blank).

[ 11-22-2003, 06:49 PM: Message edited by: Lord ]

Whew! Talk about a trip down memory lane....but I still got it, baby! Ooooh yeah! (waits patiently for Pirengle to sail in and take the high score)

Pirengle might have a hard time beating your score, Six. You got some questions right that I didn't think even you would get right. But you also got some easy ones wrong.

SixOfSpades: Tethoril (89 points)

Nice job! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Edit: And Six, about your comment on using Skie in #15, I actually never used her before. I finished the quiz and was not only short of 100 by 2 points, but I also felt like I needed another True or False question, so I pulled that one off of a walkthrough ;) .
You also mispelled some guys, and I gave you credit for most of them (all but one I think), but for the guy whose name completely changed, you didn't get credit...

[ 11-22-2003, 06:54 PM: Message edited by: Lord ]

C'mon guys, doesn't anybody want to take this quiz? I interrested to see how much the other players know about the game ;)

cool, I havent been here for a couple of days. I dont have time to take the quiz right now but give me a few hours and Il take it!

ok Lord heres the bad news: I did the quiz (spending at least an hour on it, brilliant quiz, really mind boggiling) but anyway, I had 2 questions left to answer and then I got a microsoft error report which closed down the window!!! so at present I cant be bothered to do it again (it took ages) so maybe in a day or so.

It was hard all around....most of them where that i just couldnt think of there names! K well i did not even put the numbers down on the ones i didn kno is that ok?

a quick question Lord, you know the red questions, if you do not answer those do u lose a mark?? ( I think I didnt get one of them so Im gona rack my brains for it!! And by the way Il have my entry in tomorow after the annoying time last time Im gona do it on word and copy it over to make sure nothing goes wrong!)

Just remembered why Pirengle hasn't popped in: She said that she'd be losing her Internet access arount Nov. 20th. Poopie! Hope she gets it back sometime soon, I need somebody to knock me off my perch. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

*takes the quiz*

It took me an hour with two disconnects. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nice quiz, Lord! :D

PS: I think Elminster rates over Cyric. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[ 11-25-2003, 10:10 PM: Message edited by: Pirengle ]

Sorry I didn't grade them yet, I was away for a bit. I'll get to grading them now and list all the scores ;)

Edit: and Six, Pirengle has now taken the test, I'll see what she got. And Ross, you lose <u>1 point</u> if you answer the questions marked in red incorrectly. If left blank, you lose no points.

[ 11-26-2003, 03:39 PM: Message edited by: Lord ]

New Update:

SixOfSpades: Tethoril (89 points)
Ryaldin: Sarevok (74 points)
Pirengle: Sarevok (74 points)
Dar'tanian: Berrun Ghastkill (28 points)

Wow, Pirengle and Ryaldin tied!

Ryaldin, you gave 2 answers for some of the matching questions, and all but one were wrong. The one that you didn't get wrong necessarily was for Ardenor Crush. You have 2 for him, and one of them was right, while the other wasn't. So I gave you 1 point for it instead of 2, although I see where you got the idea that there were 2 possible answers for him.

Dar'tanian, what hurt your score was that you left most of the answers blank, even many of the matching and multiple choice. It would have been worth a shot to guess some of them at least since that way, there's a chance you could get them right. Ryaldin, you skipped some of those too.

Nice job guys!

I knew I would do bad....But my party could still beat all yours!!!

Bring it on [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

ok Lord prepare for mine! I will win!

I'm waiting, but I didn't get it. I'm sure it wouldn't take 12 hours to take the test, although it is Thanksgiving. I suggest you take the test tomorrow so that you don't ruin your day when you fail the test [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I gave it a go, although I last played the game in ´02. [img]smile.gif[/img] The first ten were wild guesses, and the rest are based on Alzheimer patients memories of his birth..

SixOfSpades: Tethoril (89 points)
Ryaldin: Sarevok (74 points)
Pirengle: Sarevok (74 points)
NiceWorg: Duke Eltan (44 points)
[b]Dar'tanian: Berrun Ghastkill (28 points)

Who is the next victim? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

sorry Lord I didnt have time to send it last night, Il definately send it tonight!

Whew, I thought for sure that a standard rating of Minsc would be following my name.

Lord, I know I double answered on many of them, but I wasn't entirely sure if I was supposed to answer the general organization they belonged to, or the specific narrow one.

I got all of the matching wrong?!? and still got 74??? are you sure? I'm pretty confident in my answers for khalid and jaheira...

ok Lord, I've sent it, tell me how i did??

I've also pm-ed you my answers [img]smile.gif[/img]

I never said you got most of the matching wrong, in fact, you got most of them right. And a 74 means you got 29 points off (but then got 3 points from the bonus). I wouldn't complain about a 74 though ;) .

New updates:

Ar-Cunin: Elminster (96 points)
SixOfSpades: Tethoril (89 points)
RoSs_bg2_rox: Ulraunt (82 points)
Pirengle: Sarevok (74 points)
Ryaldin: Sarevok (74 points)
NiceWorg: Duke Eltan (44 points)
Dar'tanian: Berrun Ghastkill (28 points)

The new leader is Ar-Cunin! Excellent score there [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ;)

[ 11-28-2003, 06:40 PM: Message edited by: Lord ]

u got me and Rydalin the wrong way round Lord

Not anymore :D

96 point [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

I remember more than I belived [img]smile.gif[/img]

(But then again I've played BG so many times that the names ought to be stuck in my memory)

[ 11-29-2003, 06:00 AM: Message edited by: Ar-Cunin ]

I'm not ashamed. I'm beta testing something for BG2. I haven't played BG1 since August. And Sarevok rules. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oooo! Testing a BG2 mod? Which one? :D

Oooo! Testing a BG2 mod? Which one? :D </font>[/QUOTE]Yes - start talking (or writing)

Corious people wants to know [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's Sim's Virtue mod for BG2. The mod's creators felt that Reputation wasn't realistic enough; a party full of SOBs can still have a high reputation. So the mod creators added a new stat, Virtue. Under this mod, reputation no longer matters--evil characters can stay in a party with 20 rep, etc--but truly good deeds are rewarded with Virtue points, on a scale from 1 to 20, and they're not as easy to get as you might think. ;) And truly blessed or henious acts can even change your alignment. I'm testing the mod with an evil party with a Virtue of 6. Pop on over to http://forums.forgottenwars.net and check out the House of Sim to find out more. (Don't want to do major spoils on the BG1 board.)

So yeah, it's not another NPC or trinket-laden Weimerized slaughterfest. It's a cute little mod in the same vein as Oversight and Unfinished Business, designed to make the game more detailed.

Hear Hear!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

*dual-purpose BUMP!*

Post the answers! Post the answers! Post the answers!

Your fanclub awaits, Lord. ;)

I havn't gotten any submits since November 28th, so it's been 5 days. I'll leave 2 more days so that it's been a week till I post them. Sound good?

Pffft. And here I was, thinking I could set a standard of 3 days. Internet people get impatient! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Naaaaaaaaar!!! Give me a week more and I'll even have a go!

Just need the bloody time to sit down and look ;)

Dace, take the test, <u>quickly</u> [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Don't take a week, but I'll post up the answers as soon as I get your test. Try to take it as soon as possible. In other words, don't wait a week [img]tongue.gif[/img]

:twiddles his fingers impatiently:

*also twiddles fingers impatiently*

Dace said on the 4th to wait a week, which would mean 3 more days. Can you guys wait the 3 days out, or do you really want the answers that badly?

Lord, post 'em. We've had forever. If people haven't sent 'em in yet, too bad. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(Full steam ahead into exam week--I'd love to see my answers on something. But even my A on my Grammar paper can't beat Sarevok! :D )
