Urr....

Disregard the previous few posts

Anyway, here's

THE QUICK QUIZ V 2.01 !

I srsly mean it. Here's the new rules -

* There will be THREE questions on display each day. Each person has two goes. You can guess once on two questions, or guess twice on one question. You shall always guess either once or twice. Guessing thrice is no good, and quice is just silly.

* This will be updated with THREE new questions every day from 3 pm CST to 8 pm CST. The random factor is supposed to give some other people the edge. It will never be updated more often. Any unanswered previous questions will become null.

* Any unanswered questions or questions guessed wrong will result in ME getting a point. The regular win limits won't apply to me though. Speaking of that, the winner is the first one to exceed 99 points.

* On random occasions, a BONUS question will be offered. Answering this "bonus" question correctly will reward you with a "Gimmick". More about "gimmicks" later.

Actually, we'll talk about them right now. "Gimmicks" are like the bonus items you can get in a game like Mario Party, or whatever. They're used to infuriate other users and push you ahead. There are three existing gimmicks, and they are as follows:

STEAL - The most common and (probably useful) gimmick. You can use this to steal the points for a question, even if someone has already guessed correctly. However, using a steal will use both of your guesses for the round, so it's advised to steal only when you'd take a point from someone else, or of course, you don't know the answer.

THUMP - A thump is a rather rare gimmick. You use a thump on someone to cause them to LOSE a point for a correct answer, rather than gain. Beware - if they guess incorrectly, and you use a thump before I update, the thump will backfire and YOU will lose one of your points! This results in a net loss of points; both you and the thumped will lose a point, and I will gain two...

JUXTAPOSE - This is an extremely rare gimmick. By using a juxtapose, you can steal ALL OF THE POINTS of anybody at least five ranks below you. Due to the extreme power of this gimmick, it is very unwieldly; you'll have to use it on someone who's sleeping (That is, hasn't made an attempt at a guess in at least 2 weeks) Oh, and you can never use it on me.



Rules about editing

You are allowed to edit your post after you make it, even to change the content of the answer. HOWEVER, you MUST edit it before the next person makes a post. If the edit time of your post is BEFORE the next post, it's good. If it's within the same minute, I'm forced to disregard it, because Acmlm boards don't support the second the post was made.

I reserve the right to edit the rules at any time (disclaimers)

To fit the game as it progresses. I also hold the power to refuse awarding points to a correct response, and to generally screw with the game however I need to. I will make a public announcement that the rules are different, so you won't be caught between a power outage and a flashlight with dead batteries.

And here is your mighty scoreboard-

Oh yes, and... the award for a bonus question will not be revealed until it's answered correctly. Don't worry; it will always be positive, and better than a regular question.

Our returning champion has showed up... And as well, now we've got out first missed question. T'was the bonus too; that would've been worth a nice steal... The correct answer was Breath of Fire. I'm suprised nobody knew it, I thought it would be rather easy

Anyway... moving on.

Wow, we're all over the board today. Anyway, I've changed the system for bonus questions. Instead of the old way, which was "I pick something and you accept it", I'll instead pump some numbers into a random number generator. Specifically, the one on random.org. Using these parameters, the site will generate a random number from 1 to 100. Depending on what it says, the bonus prize will vary. Here's a table that you can reference for the prizes.

1-20Steal + 1 point
21-35Thump + 1
36-45Juxtapose + 1
46-50Choice of a gimmick + 1
51-802 points
81-953 points
96-994 points
100Choice + 3 points


Skreename got the bonus, and the random number was 46. So he gets to choose a gimmick as well as a point. Skreename, just send me a PM or post it here to tell me what you want.

Question set #4 (Sept. 6, 2006)
Question 4.aQuestion 4.bQuestion 4.c-
What is the rule of the Fibonacci sequence?What year did Great Britain surrender to the colonies during the American Revolutionary War?What is the name of the entire group that holds the chemical element Iodine?-
