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 had claimed Mali back in June, and then got side-tracked. I'm sorry if I've kept people from writing quizzes about that fascinating country by my oversight!

@ThrustAsh: I wasn't aware that you were already doing a quiz on Mali. In this case I withdraw my claim on it. It wasn't anywhere near completion anyway.

We can have more than one spare - Bhutan currently has gone from only having one quiz to having 6 that would make good Bus Ride quizzes! The two highest rating quizzes are being used, but if there are more really good ones, I make a note to keep checking which ones are actually the two highest.

To be honest, my original plan was to make a quiz about Timbuktu, not Mali. It's only when I noticed that there wasn't a back-up yet that I thought of converting it to a Mali quiz. I hadn't yet rewritten much of it. Now that there's already a back-up I prefer sticking with my original idea and make a quiz on Timbuktu, that will save me a bit of time too. Maybe I'll do some other country in the future.

Well my Mali quiz got recategorized into a history quiz.... I guess I should not have used my Ap World text book for some of the questions haaha

It'll still get its recognition in this challenge. :)

I happily scoop up Geography, World, History, General (Country specific) if their ranking and level of difficulty makes them seem appropriate. I even have a couple of Hobbies quizzes on national cuisines listed.

Well don't expect my quiz anytime soon, I've lost the will to write.

I've learned not to hold my breath, but to keep my eagle eye tuned for new quizzes.

I go through phases in which I'll be in a quiz writing mood and all, and that passed after I submitted this quiz. So another one of those phases should come soon and I'll change some of the things on the quiz and get it online.

I'll do a 'Lost in Montenegro' quiz. I've visiting the country later this year so it will be a good chance to remind myself about it.

Reply #837. Apr 16 12, 8:01 AM

And submitted. The previous post should read 'I'm visiting...' I got confused between trying to say 'I've been there (in 1972) and 'I'm going back'.
