Subject: Editor's Choice Nominations
Date: Jul 09 09

Have you stumbled upon a quiz that was SO GOOD that you were amazed it wasn't an Editor's Choice?

Feel free to post suggestions of quizzes that you believe are uniquely creative, imaginative, interesting, fantastic and deserving of Editor's Choice designation.

There is NO guarantee that ANY of the quizzes posted here will receive such a designation, but we will periodically check some of these nominations out to make sure that nothing truly special slipped through the cracks.

Note that an Editor's Choice is exceptionally difficult to earn one of these designations, and that we have many thousands of well crafted, well researched quizzes that will never earn this designation.

Please post only those very few quizzes that are truly exceptional.

To try to reduce conflicts of interest and a massive list of quizzes from friends, please do NOT post quizzes from team members or people on your friends list.



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

This is one of the most intriguing "Where on Earth" quizzes I have ever seen. There are cultural references to locate an initial position, then geographical clues to the location of the answer - it combines all sorts of trivia in one delicious package.

zorba_scank I played this quiz after seeing L-T's post and enjoyed it enough to second her nomination. :)

nickdrew55 Hey, thanks guys. I enjoyed writing the quiz. I was tempted to make my references more impudent or even derogative about the places I was leaving, not sure how well that might have gone down....Maybe next time!

Cheers.....Nick

Well done Nick, thoroughly enjoyed it. You deserve that golden thumb :)

zorba_scank I would like to nominate WesleyCrusher's 'Anything You Can Quiz, I Can Quiz Better'. It's like a Greatest Hits Volume of FT's best quizzes and does justice to every one of them.

I'll second that. It's original... in a different sort of way. Great quiz, but I'm sad to say I only scored 6. :(

This is a very clever quiz combinging historical knowledge and problem solving.

Be warned though, when the author says you'll need time and a pen and paper (or notes on word worked for me) he really means it, not one to flick through against the clock.

Mariamir May I suggest http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Movies/The-Similarity-of-Star-Wars-and-Willow-339282.html

It's perceptive, fun, and well written, I think.

I think this one is definitely deserving; anyone slightly scientifically educated would love the unique humor. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/SciTech/Bond-Covalent-Bond-347169.html

I didn't know this thread existed, but I do know that I've been telling authors for OVER three years that their quizzes deserved to be selected as an Editor's choice (at least if I were an Editor), so here is my first nomination:

http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/General/Pick-the-Proper-Pepper-348962.html

and my second:

http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Sports/Baseball-on-Other-Planets-349673.html

From now on, I will use this thread more sparingly!

Cheers, Chevy

You must like reedy. ;-) I agree, reedy is an excellent author. :-)

Gosh, it looks as if I follow myself with this nomination:

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother: Famous siblings

by Paul Mallon

Note: my icon looks smushed - it should be longer - and the Callipygian Venus not so "broad"!

Cheers, Chevy

An interesting thought occurred to me...

I know that I have seen people get three or more quizzes online in a single day, albeit very rare. What I want to know is this...

Does anyone know of any players who have had two quizzes online in a day, both of which received an editor's choice?

The closest I've seen is a day apart or two.

I saw Glendathecat with that achievement, not an easy one, for sure.

Ahem!

Adams627 wrote a great quiz - didn't see how it could be better!

Adams deserves a thumb for most all his quizzes... But we can't give him too many. ;-)

Been a while since anyone has seen this thread.

I'll second the nomination of Wes's "Anything You Can Quiz I Can Quiz Better".

To give the link to that quiz once more...

It seems we're due for an EC; I cannot find one in the most recent 300 quizzes. The most recent was in June. :P

Reply #239. Sep 19 12, 11:41 AM

salami_swami

So I was wrong... An EC slipped through my eyes without me seeing it. I must go play it.



In any case, I still second the nomination for Wes' quiz. ;)
