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.

    When they are updated.

    That response isn't meant to sound snarky-- it's just my way of saying I can't give a time. Wes has to add in the time credits and the last few times we were missing.

    (Kyleisalive: Some people run a marathon in 3 hours, some take 10. Crossing the line is the achievement.)

    I usually take several months in stead of several hours to complete a marathon. I'm a real couch potato.

    I'm trying to figure out a discrepancy in the scores for round 10. The release of the results will have to wait until then.

    I finally got my submission for Round 10 in, though Mariamir's is already online and was faster. I really wanted to finish it though. This way I have done one for each of the tasks, kind of a personal goal. :)

    I will be unavailable for the rest of the sprint. I feel bad about letting my partner Szabs down but my mom has been taken to hospital and is in a bad way.

    I wish everybody luck for the rest of the sprint.

    Sorry to hear that, playmate1111. Hope she recovers quickly and completely. Thinking of you.

    Task eleven is done!

    I've actually loved doing all of these sprint tasks, though I haven't been the fastest at them, they have stretched me to venture into areas I wouldn't have otherwise. So, thanks!

    I just pressed submit on Task 11, so the clock can stop running again for Mariamir and shuehorn.
