Topic: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge

Posted by: Terry

Subject: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge
Date: Mar 16 10

While the replacement of low-ranked quizzes is a continuing goal, preparation of extra quizzes to introduce variety for the tourists is also important now that the Bus Ride is well-established. Some tourists are on their third tour, and even nice quizzes get repetitive. The lowest-ranked quiz at the moment (in the cycle), aside from a few that have already had a volunteer for a new quiz, is Dominica, around 31,000, which is roughly in the top third of all quizzes.

The following list shows the quizzes in the current rotation in need of an additional quiz:

Angola, Belize, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Comoros, Dominican Republic, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Honduras, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgystan, Latvia, Lesotho, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Moldova, Mozambique, Nauru, North Korea, Palau, Republic of Congo, Saint Lucia, St Vincent & the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Swaziland, Syria, The Bahamas, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Zambia

If you create a new quiz on one of the preceding countries, get it placed online, and have it place within a reasonable ranking, it will be removed from the listing for this project and placed into the cycle for future rides.

As an added bonus, we have modified the ratings system to give all quizzes in our rotation a ratings bump.

Feel free to use this thread to also "claim" a country so that you don't duplicate someone else's effort and make sure to follow along with our later posts and updates to make sure that everything is in order. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!

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.

After playing today's bus ride, I can see why Gabon needs a new quiz. Urgently!
Unfortunately, I have too many challenges on my plate already to take it.

I have some holidays coming up, and will add it to my 'to do' list - 5 questions with virtually no extra information! If anyone else wants to tackle it, please post here. if I see no messages, I will work on it as part of my Easter break.

I'll do Gabon. It's obscure enough for my tastes.

After taking this quiz, I'd love to do Gabon. But since Geography is my weakest category knowlege-wise, I'll happily leave that to Leo, who will do a wonderful job as always : )

Leo I am glad you are picking up Gabon - just played it and it really needs an update :) I hope to tackle the Maldives over the next week.

And thanks Rowena for posting my Estonia quiz - was just going to come and do it :)

With Leo taking Gabon, I will continue my Caribbean experience, and start Trinidad & Tobago this evening when I get home.

Staying in the Caribbean, where I really must go someday, I will do Saint Lucia next.

looney_tunes

Aaaaaaarghhhhh! I had Saint Lucia all written except for the II on question 10 and the final summary when my computer informed me it could not perform autosave on the document and closed down. Autorecover just gave me the original title and category where it is to go, 3 hours of work ago. Now I have managed to recall what the gist of the 10 questions was, and will start reconstructing it. May or may not get done tonight, depending on how discouraged I get at having to chase down all the details again. (I didn't even recover the links to useful sites!)

Whew! I remembered more than I had hoped, and was able to relocate the information links fairly quickly to confirm my memory. Saint Lucia has been submitted.
