EDIT: Read the rules before playing!! DO NOT POST THE ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD!!
EDIT 2: Question five is not a totally true question. Bonus point for those who say why.

I had a bit of spare time on my hands and thought about a quiz on Wiz 8. These types of quizzes have been done on the other games forums here on Ironworks and the rules are much the same. Do not post the answers in this thread, pm me with them. If anyone spots a mistake in the questions then they get a bonus point.

15) What condition triggers the ascension peak landslide? (2 pts)

Misc questions:

16) Who stole which powerful artifact from the monestary? (2 pts)

xfactor,

I think the request was for us to answer the questions via a PM so others could take the test without any additional influence.

I stand corrected by Flamestryke. Question five is not totally right. Those who say why get a bonus point.

Scores so far:

Flamestryke: 36/40 plus 1 bonus point for correcting me.

xfactor: 27/40

I like the questions but am too busy fighting Rapax...

Xfactor: thanks for removing your answers.

Ziggy: you don't have to take the quiz, only if you want to and have time.

Variol gets 33/40.

Riftmaker gets 17/40.

Krull gets: 32/40
Babar gets: 28/40.

Hey dplax, 'never seen Gold Gragon before!? Cool!

Thanks Variol!

All the scores so far:

Flamestryke: 37 (with the +1 bonus point)
Variol (Farseer) Elmwood: 33
Krull: 32
Babar: 28
xfactor:27
Riftmaker: 17

Congratulations to flamestryke, who so far seems to know the most about the game.

Would anyone be interested by further quizzes?

Hi dplax.

Nice idea, but I think, I can't answer the questions. Even if I played W8 for years I rarely killed NPC's for items and I never looked at resistances, so I'll miss many points. I never saw a swallower in the monastery so I don't know the version. And what demo-version do you mean ? Never had one.

I'm sure, I'll miss 16 points or more, so I have no chance to enter the higher rankings.

Hey Loudhy,
Who cares! It's just for fun. You won't get any prizes or fired or anything like that. So don't worry.

Dplax never said you couldn't do a bit of research on the questions.

Loudhy consider the hardness of the questions you didn't get that bad: 23/40. At least you have a life outside of Wizardry. :D

Thanks dplax.

One of my biggest faults is :
If there is a competition, I want to win ! ;)

P.S.

What life do you mean ? Aren't there swallowers in the "real" world ??? :D

LOL. There are but they don't look like the ones in Wizardry. Now if only I could find the Trynton Intelligence Fountain in the real world...

Wereboar gets 30+1/40 pts and has given me a different thing because of which question 5 is wrong.

When shall I post the answers for the quiz?

[ 10-04-2004, 01:44 PM: Message edited by: dplax ]

Does anyone else want to take the quiz or shall I post the answers?

Why not wait 'til end of the month? Just bump it now and then.

Sounds like a good idea.

Anyway here is the full list of those who have taken the quiz:

Flamestryke: 37 (with the +1 bonus point)
Variol (Farseer) Elmwood: 33
Krull: 32
Wereboar: 31 (with +1 bonus point)
Babar: 28
xfactor: 27
Loudhy: 23
Riftmaker: 17

Mindflayer gets 28/40.

Wallbridge gets 34/40.
