Subject: The FunTrivia Gauntlet

Posted by: George95
Date: Jun 06 13

With the approval of the Supreme Leader, I present a new challenge for all you addicts. The FunTrivia Gauntlet. (Pangalactic approved!)

Here's how it works.
- A challenge will be posted. Some hard. Some easy. Some broad. Some more specific
- Players must post their intentions to complete a challenge. They have a 2 week limit to get that quiz in the queue, from the time of their post.
- Multiple players can claim and complete the same challenge. HOWEVER, you do not get your own two week time frame. The clock starts when the first player claims it, and all players must come on with time already off the clock. You may not do the same challenge twice. Max 5 players per task.
- There are 15 total challenges. Individual players may complete a maximum of 10 challenges.

The link below will show the completed tasks, and those still ongoing.

Starts near when I'm done work.

While I know the specific tasks (well...fairly specific...there are some blanks), I'm eager to join in. Perhaps on the later ones. I have a streak of quizzes to get online that might take a bit longer than two weeks, but we'll see.

For the record, this will be the only challenge of the month as we spiral into July (and Anniversary Month! So soon!). A Commission will have its sign-ups at the end of June, launching July 1.
Hopefully we can knock some of the existing challenges from the 'Current Challenges' listing (stickied to the top of the Lounge board) and clear the slates for a jam-packed July. :)

Well, as much as I would like to contribute for July (which sounds very exciting), I'll be out and will not have the ability to write quizzes. :(

But I will try to help clear the actual challenges while I can, so :)

I'll be sure to say goodbye!

OK, time for challenge #1!

Your job is to simply write a quiz with the word "Start" in it.

Good luck! Remember clock starts, once the first person claims.

I'll accept this challenge :)

Off I go now to write it.

So, it just has to have "start" in the quiz, anywhere, or in the title, intro, or where?

I think I will give this a go, too. I gather that the quiz must be submitted no later than two weeks from today -- so by Friday, June 21?

It's not a race, so if Creedy submits his quiz tomorrow, it still counts, if I get in before the 21st?

The deadline is June 21 at 7:55am. If I've got it right, as soon as the first goes online a new task is added.

Up to five quizzes can count for each task.

Start has to be in the title. Can be anywhere in it. As long as it's there.

I'm starting to think that two weeks is too long of a wait. Maybe we'll shorten it, as we go along. (13 days for #2, 12 days for #3).

So Creedy and Gracious1 are the first two to sign up for this one. Based on the participants, and when their quizzes are accepted, I'll announce later when it'll be released.

My computer access will be limited this weekend, so don't be surprised if it takes a while to update the board.

Input from me if relevant: I don't think two weeks is too long a period. Some quizzes take longer to be accepted than others, depending on the category to which they're submitted.

My quiz has just been submitted btw, George. Do you want to know the name?

Oh and Gracious, Creedy is a she, not a he :)

Right now, Creedy is a quiz writing machine. I've written three quizzes today! It's 2:30 am. To bed!

Okay, my quiz is written. I can't believe I wrote it so quickly. But I have a quiz in the queue, so I have to wait for that clear, and then I will submit this one.
