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, 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, 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.

All of a sudden Bhutan is positively swimming in quizzes. All the newcomers from this stage of the Race will be checked as they get ranked, and made available for the Bus Tour. Highest ranked will be first in the rotation list.

Daaanieeel My quiz is ready to go, but I won't submit it until the next Pit Stop in the Amazing Trivia Race.

Since we wrote a quiz on Yemen for the Race, does it have a chance of being put in rotation for the Bus Ride, depending on how it does rating-wise compared to the other new quiz for Yemen?

Sure does! I note all new quizzes that look even faintly promising, and when they are ranked I move the top two currently available to my lists for rotation. At the moment, there are about 27 countries planned to be replaced at the next rotation, but for some of them (need I say the B word?) no definite selection has yet been made.

If new quizzes are good enough, they will replace the current quiz even if the current one has a better ranking - this is to offer some variety for the tourists - and the current one, or the highest-ranked alternative quiz, will be listed as the reserve for future rotations.

If a new quiz is not close enough in ranking to justify replacing the current one immediately, or if the current one was just rotated in on the last changeover, the new one will go as the reserve. Over time, I aim to get all countries rotating quizzes on a regular basis, maybe about a third each tour. While we may not always have the very top-ranked quiz for the country in play, they will all be good quizzes, and tourists will have variety in their diet. But that can't happen until they all have rotation potential!

Thanks, looney! That is great, and I must say that I have been checking the bus ride every day to see if there are new quizzes that I haven't taken. I love it when I get a new one. After this race is over, I'll continue writing Geography quizzes to supplement the Bus Ride, especially on those countries where I've lived and worked before.

L_T - I notice that Nigeria is still listed at the top. I did do a 'Lost in' for there, which I'm sure didn't escape your attention but do you still need another? Not that I'm offering, especially not with the race on, but just thought I'd clarify.

Daaanieeel Geography is my new favourite FunTrivia category! With my Cameroon quiz ready to submit (I'll wait until the next Pit Stop, as mentioned), I think I might have a shot at Togo next. Just deciding if I should call it "Wake Me Up, Before You Togo" or "Want to Go to Togo?". I'm leaning towards the section option- seems more Geography friendly.
