Date: Apr 02 12

It has seemed, over the past weeks, that some of our authors (specifically some of our racers) have had a bit of trouble acclimatizing to a slower pace. This is a reasonable thing to say-- I've had the pleasure of pushing you guys around FunTrivia for a good couple months (and longer) to write way out of your comfort zones. Some people just want more. Luckily, I do too.

That's why we're going for a FunTrivia Sprint.

This Sprint, like the Race, is not for the author who isn't ready to get their hands dirty and explore new grounds...quickly. The rules are as follows:

  • Wes and I have both created sprint courses; both are different.

  • Sprinters will be able to complete the Sprint as individuals or in teams of two. Once you figure out if you're going alone or in a double, you will need to choose one of the following options:
    * Normal Pairs: One member of the pair must complete either K or W.
    * Normal single: Play either K or W for each round. You choose which one you want.
    * Hardcore single: Choose K or W on the first task, stick with it for the rest of the game.
    * Hardcore pairs: On each set, one must complete K and one W.

  • Sprinters will receive tasks via the Lounge here-- even if you're not sprinting you'll be able to see the tasks as they appear.

  • There are a predetermined amount of tasks and all sprinters will receive the clues at the same time. This is not a race against competitors; it is a race for yourselves. This leads into the most important point.

  • Authors will have five days to write the quiz. This does not include queue times. The timer begins when the task is announced and ends when the quiz goes online.

    The tasks will vary in many ways-- some will take authors to categories they never believed they would be able to visit and others may involve some of the site's most popular authors and quizzes.

    If you wish to sign up, let us know here.
    **If you wish to attempt the Hardcore options, please note whether you would like to select set A or set B. You will not know whose set is whose until we begin the sprint.

    The Sprint will commence on April 15th.

    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.

    but we're not celebrating yet ... jury is in session and we wait to see if it gets shifted to another category or stays where it is. Will keep you posted.

    Sadly "The King is Dead" is dead as a whodunit and it's been shifted to another category.

    I'll put together another quiz using Wes' task and submit as soon as i can.


    Have to laugh at the irony ... the decision on "The King is Dead" was being assessed on the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley's passing

    efficient as usual ... Kyle has gotten it on line for us ... thanks again for that Kyle

    ... and ... for waht it's worth ... it comes complete with 12 letter answers

    WesleyCrusher

    So close and yet so far... unfortunately the 12-letter bonus also required that you have the same number of words on each answer which yours doesn't do.

    Mariamir has submitted our final entry to the Sprint... Fingers' crossed that it will be acceptable and we will finally have managed to crawl over the finish line. :)

    Marissa, Has it gone online? I don't see it on your list of quizzes.... Looks like we still may be in Limbo on this Sprint!

    Thanks for posting it, and thank you for the congratulations! Yes, we finally tortoised our way through, although in this version the hares have all passed the finish line! :-P

    Congratulations, Marissa! Without your perseverence, we never would have made it. Loved the Sprint!!!
