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!

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.

I notice Afghanistan is on the list for replacement, the current one is rated just under 20000, and is much the highest of the 5 Afghanistan quizzes. I have one though, in the Afghanistan sub-cat, about the Wakhan Corridor which is in Afghanistan - http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/The-Wakhan-Corridor-308184.html rated in the mid 3000s this week - would it do perhaps? I just thought it might be one less to worry about replacing completely, at least for the next go-round of the bus anyway...

Angola has a quiz online, but it is ranked rather low - this one might prove more popular.

I am going to write a quiz on Iran, as the current one has absolutely no extra information (and is ten years old), and the other two available both have VERY low site rankings, so would probably not be popular replacements for the current quiz.

Thanks for mentioning my quiz, Looney_Tunes. I've just clicked into the category and noticed the other Angola quiz was quite low and thought mine might be used for the Bus Ride. Didn't really want to self-promote, haha. :)

Of course it may be ranked terribly, so we'll see :)

Is Kuwait on the list for renewal? I ask this after having played todays Bus Stop :-|

According to the link, its rating is around 45,000 and is in red, so it is a candidate. Wait for a day or so and it may be offline - I'm pretty sure I would not be the only one who sent a correction note about the incorrect answer to a fundamentally time-stamped question! At any rate, it could certainly do with being replaced.

I had 2 down as wrong in it, not just one, but perhaps I was being over picky :-|
At least this go round will show up the various issues in the quizzes, and by the time it's finished the future Bus Rides shuld be much improved which is good :-D I still think you should get a nice shiny Conductor's Badgelet l-t, you've been instrumental in making it happen.

Kuwait is offline today, but the author is still active, and may well make the necessary corrections. I won't add it to the list of those needing replacement until some time has passed to allow for that.

Somebody else can take Eritrea.

As Eritrea is OFFLINE, it is a desperate little orphan of a country. I am working on Iran at the moment, but next weekend will leave it (if it isn't finished before that) to work on Eritrea if nobody else has volunteered to adopt it by Friday.

Iran has been submitted. Does anyone have an eye on Eritrea?

Here's the replacement quiz for Iran.

Looney has whittled away my resolve and persuaded me to adopt Eritrea. Quiz will hopefully arrive soon...
