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.

    triviaking162 Congrats to the finishers! Job well done! This last clue will give me 8 Wesley clues done and 4 Kyle clues done.

    Anyway, this whole thing has been a blast. Thanks Kyle and Wes!

    Christinap

    I agree, it has been a blast.

    Perhaps we should reciprocate in some way. Maybe the authors could get their heads together and come up with some tasks for Wes and Kyle to write quizzes about.

    triviaking162 But Kyle and Wes joined us on this challenge. It wasn't like the race.

    My leg 11 is online but I can't put it in Kyle's post because I don't want to start the time on leg 12 just yet :)

    triviaking162 My quiz is credited to shuehorn and Mariamir on the synopsis. Just a little typo.

    I'm happy to say I'm done though!

    tiffanyram

    I'm not sure how I feel about being done! It means no more tasks to look forward to, but I can say I completed it! Well, guess I'll just have to wait for the next race or sprint to come along!
