Topic: The Adventures of Bob

Posted by: kyleisalive

Subject: The Adventures of Bob
Date: Mar 14 12

Meet Bob.
Bob is a single, white male aged 18-49. He's the everyman. He can be from anywhere you'd like.
In fact, he is anyone you'd like.

For this challenge, authors will get to take Bob where they want. They can give him a specific view on life, interests, and even a back-story. A participant for this challenge will need to claim Bob and write a quiz in which Bob is the star. When that quiz is online, Bob is placed back up for grabs. The next author will have a chance to expand upon Bob's story with their own quiz. These quizzes can go into any available category, even the same category more than once-- we just can't double up on the same subcategory. In other words, two quizzes should not be about Bob's fascination with football or Bob in Mexico.

You may want to sway the author who follows your submission into a particular direction. If, in your quiz conclusion, you allude to the next adventure that Bob must take, the proceeding author must somehow incorporate it in some way-- maybe not to the fullest extent, but in some way.

Remember, all quizzes and questions on the site should make the fullest attempt to stand alone; you should not be basing later questions on Bob's previous experiences unless alluding to it in passing. It should not have significant bearing on the questions, answers, or info.

The goal is to create fifteen quizzes, each one shaping and defining Bob. An author may only write one quiz for this challenge. No reclaiming Bob.

So...who wants to take Bob first?

Bob is currently claimed by: Superfan123

I just thought - I have a partially written quiz featuring the Chocolate Vault that I could incorporate Bob into. He might even give me the impetus to actually finish the poor languishing quiz at last. If nobody else wants to jump in, I'll take Bob on an adventure to the depths of the Vault once the one currently being written goes online :-D

After Reedy I mean (I read the post, and promptly forgot who it was so had to go back and check :-D)

I'm delving into Video Games (my second time) with Bob on my quiz.

My quiz has been submitted --- hopefully my question #10 passes the time-dependent test (I think I've worded it to work).

Yeah and that Vault quiz is partly your fault Salami :-P I'll be as quick as I can lol, given that the new sprint clue is due today...

And I have spent the afternoon in glorious research into all things chocolatey, and Bob's visit to the Vault is coming along very nicely now - I have three Qs mapped out to write properly, and need one more from scratch and then it will be done :-D

I'll take Bob in the near future as well. ;)

Bob is in the Vault and in the queue - he's off to Thematic Fun so it might take a while, but fingers crossed it won't be too long :-D

Urp! Bob can not visit the same subcategory more than once!

I missed the telephone one! - can we let Thematic Average and Thematic anything else be different ones, since I very much doubt Bob will end up Average on this one, there are some pretty obscure facts in it, and my TF ones usually end up Tough or Difficult or whatever it's called. If not, it'll have to be an adjunct for Bob's day off or something, there's no way to have it go anywhere else I that I can think of. It's ok if it doesn't count for this, that template has been there since last november so I'm just glad to finally get it finished. I could change the name if I had to, but say so fast as it's in the title so would need doing before it goes online. Kyle's Escape From the Chocolate Vault? or Salami's?

So I see a new quiz called "The Strange Life of Bob", and wonder why on earth Row used that title for a chocolate vault quiz. Then I realize it's the title of an episode of a TV series. :D

There's no way of knowing whether or not it would count for a different Thematic subcategory (difficulty-wise) until they categorize it. Usually this is done after several weeks. :s

Use Kyle not me. Why would I escape my own vault? ;-)

Rowena8482

So do you want me to change the name, or just not count it here Kyle? I don't mind which, but I gather it's much harder to change a title once a quiz has gone online so decide before then lol... {ticking clock noise}

May I pre-claim bob? If row's will not count, I'll do that... If hers does count, I'll wait for it to go online. :-P

Right me difficulties are over so may I re-join the queue for Bob?

Row-- your call. If it's for Thematic Fun it will not count for this challenge unfortunately, so you can take it whatever direction you wish. :)
