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.

I like the fact you let us know.

I would be totally lost otherwise.

Imagine 50 quizzes all done on one area. That could happen without Fun Trivia advisories.

I shall be leaving for The Netherlands soon.

Oh doh GG, I just saw it on the list - you do it and welcome to it - it was just the only island nation left and I quite like reading about those. I may have to give in and finish the invertebrate ones after all! I just can't seem to find any motivation somehow for them :-S I wouldn't care, one of them has major potential to be a cracking quiz if I can get it right, I just don't think I'm managing to do it justice so far...

On the Kenya thing: it may be better to include my 2.0 version. It's being rated a shade higher, and it includes more gratuitious sex and violence. JMHO.

Sorry--chatspeak. Just My Humble Opinion.

I'll put the link here - all posted suggestions get considered, with the highest-rating one being included. But I actually enjoyed 1.0 more, and thought it would provide a better introduction to the country. My personal opinion, which doesn't really count for much!

Terry's priority list included Sri Lanka - there is this quiz placed online in Feb 2010 ranked 19500 or so which might be a candidate for inclusion to replace the offline one.

I was thinking of writing another one so might give Sri Lanka a go anyway.

I am returning The Netherlands to the list to be created. Time constraints of other projects would cause this area to be delayed in submission.

adams627 It took longer to write than Tanzania, but Cuba has a new quiz: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/A-Caribbean-Mystery-Cuba-325798.html

The Bus Ride list on the link currently has 1o quizzes listed at the top with artificial rankings because they have not been played often enough to get their 20 ratings and a proper rank. If you haven't played and rated, please do - it isn't helpful to have so many quizzes included with no way for people to tell how popular they really are! And I say this not because 6 of them are mine, but because I would like the list to reflect the ratings that the quizzes have received, to make it easier for those who contemplate writing a quiz identify countries which do not have a quiz that players seem to be enjoying.

I have so much respect for the people who compile these quizzes I would not know where to start, good on you all who do

Those of the newly-written quizzes which have received 'real' rankings have been very well received! There are 5 of them in double or single digits:

Tanzania (adams627) - 2
Nigeria (dsimpy) - 5
Botswana (KayceeKool) - 20
Tuvalu (glendathecat) - 38
Turkey (WesleyCrusher) - 86

Well done!

The link now shows Guinea as being offline - anyone interested in providing a replacement for the next circuit?

Reply #276. May 15 10, 5:59 PM

looney_tunes

I don't know why I bothered to ask if anyone was interested in Guinea. Faced with the choice between preparing a mid-year exam supervision roster and researching for a quiz on a country of which I have barely heard which is desperately in need of a quiz, the answer is obviously ME! Of course, anyone else is welcome to write one, too. :)

Lol! My mentality exactly.

Commission quiz? ACTUAL WORK?
The choice is clear.

My quiz on Guinea has been submitted. Now maybe I'd better do some work.

I'm not sure how to read the list. What is the most "needy" country of the bunch?
