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.

    Normal single for me Kyle.

    triviaking162 Put me down for normal single. Sounds like fun!

    Normal single, thanks.

    If the quiz needs to go online in five days, what happens when there are no editors around to tend to it for several days? I can easily write a quiz in that many days, but can't guarantee an editor will have time to edit it before time runs out.

    The quiz doesn't need to go online in five days, just be written in five days.

    dcpddc478 and I will team up as a normal pair.

    I'm in! Just waiting to hear from someone else about pairing up though, there is no way I'm attempting this alone!

    Reply #28. Apr 02 12, 10:42 PM

    Mariamir Hi, I want to pair up Normal Mode, too. Can we team up, lones?

    shuehorn

    I'm in. I'll go it alone, unless someone wants a partner...

    playmate1111

    A stupid question here, but what is "K" or "W"?

    Reply #31. Apr 02 12, 11:22 PM

    looney_tunes

    K = Kyle's pathway
    W = Wesley's pathway

    Wes, can these quizzes be counted towards the pangalactic sunnies challenge?

    kyleisalive

    Kyle or Wes.

    Reply #33. Apr 02 12, 11:25 PM

    eburge

    I assume they stand for Kyle and Wes, in regards to their quiz sets.

    eburge

    Sorry to be giving you the run around Kyle, but I assure you, this'll be the last time I change my mind. ;p

    I'm pairing up with PDAZ. We'll be doing Hardcore.

    This is of course Pangalactic-compatible, after all you get to write a lot of Lounge activity in a short time :)

    Zorba_scank and I will pair up in normal mode please :)

    Reply #37. Apr 03 12, 12:10 AM

    zorba_scank Can both people in the team contribute questions for the quiz or does it have to be a solo effort?

    rossian

    Put me down for normal, single please, Kyle.

    Reply #39. Apr 03 12, 12:48 AM

    Daaanieeel I think, despite how fun it sounds, I'll pass on this. I've got enough on my plate at the moment. I'll cheer for everyone on the sidelines, though!
