THE 2ND GREAT, BIG, PAIN-IN-THE-BUTT, SHADOWS-OF-AMN TRIVIA QUIZ!!! - Page 5

Olorin · 02-07-2003, 12:32 AM

The reason that we're doing so good spelling the fishy folk is it's multiple choice. I know for sure the name of the hyphenated fishy folk, and that narrows the field of answers down. If I had just had to answer the name of the shark people, I'd have a much tougher time.

I am sending my response now.
That one was much easier than the first one, in my opinion, and I hope my score reflects that, Six, or you might get a visit from a few shady men with baseball bats in the future...

It was very enjoyable, as well.

THE USUAL GANG OF IDIOTS:

Kaltia: Chinchilla
Link: Illasera
Ar-Cunin: Illasera
Sir Goulum: Gromnir Il-Khan
Aelia Jusa: Gromnir Il-Khan
SpongeBobTheDestroyer: Sarevok
Raistlin Majere: Sarevok
Galadriel: Sarevok
Olorin: Yaga-Shura
Tancred: Yaga-Shura
Dundee Slaytern: Yaga-Shura
Rataxes: Yaga-Shura
Sir Exxon: Yaga-Shura
Indemaijini: Sendai
pcgiant: Sendai
Alson: Sendai
Jim: Imoen

Well, pcgiant, I guess I should beware of men with baseball bats....good thing I've got a good AC against Blunt weapons. Although I think getting the rank of Abazigal twice in a row is a lot to ask for, personally.

Hey, being beaten only by Jim and Alson is NOT a bad thing. [img]smile.gif[/img] pcgiant, you specified the EXACT SAME LOCATION for the 666 gold that Olorin did. You did that on purpose, didn't you!?!

What do you mean, sucker for Easter Eggs? I would never ask a question about Easter Eggs. Now about that Literature reference.....

There isn't going to be a Version 3 of the Quiz, as I was racking my brain to come up with enough questions to fill this one. (Why else would I include Jan's middle name? If anything's trivial, that certainly is.) I do, however, keep popping off new questions, and you might have the same problem. So, if you want to contribute a question to the *definitive* GBPitBSoATQ, just Email that puppy (or puppies), and I'll add it to the stack, and then pick out the best of the bunch to go into the final version. (Which will have the "fish-folk" and the "shark-folk" as two separate questions. [img]tongue.gif[/img] )Yes, you'll get credit for it, and BG gamers everywhere will hate us! What could be better?

As I look over the rankings, it seems that this Quiz is actually tougher than the first one, at least in terms of the rankings of the 7 people (so far) who have taken both. One person gained a rank, one person stayed the same, and the other 5 all went down. Hmmm. Maybe I should have distributed the points differently, or something......

I knew it

! That completely sucked! At least Sarevok is a cool character. Still, i should have done a whole lot better...i guess thats what you get from doing trivial quizes in the middle of the night.

Errr...okay...deleted...

I can't PM, so looks like I will remain a chinchilla FOREVER!

karlosovic · 02-09-2003, 11:46 AM

well I just did it, and I think I went ok, but Six will tell us that. As for which is harder... the first was definately harder, I didn't even bother to submit my answers because they were so pitifuly few. I did however, for my own interest dig up the answers for some of the questions, so I guess that helped when I did this one (I didn't look at my old answers while doing this one, just remembered some that I took time to work out).

ps I listed 8 reputation quests, but I'm dubious one 1-2 of them.

karlosovic · 02-09-2003, 11:48 AM

pps, I only just realised this was a new test from the version 1 quiz. lol, I've been ignoring it all week because I didn't think anything intereting would have been added to the last one.

I think I know why people have been scoring lower on this Quiz--I didn't take any points off in the first Quiz, and it also had (slightly) better questions.

karlosovic, your Reptuation answers were all fine, but your your response to the Hammer question did not fare as well. Did you take the Quiz late at night, too?

Kaltia, if you can't PM, you can still Email -- sixospades@yahoo.com -- as long as you make sure to include your Ironworks handle in the Email. But what would we do without a Chinchilla??? We've ALWAYS had one!

Seraph · 02-12-2003, 09:02 AM

I just submitted and have a question.
I was able to come up with twelve *times* (not quests) in chapters 1-3 when your character can get a rep bonus, however I'm not sure if you would consider two of them part of the same quest or not. I personally don't, but they are very closely related, so you may feel differently.
How do you plan to handle something like that?
