I was wondering that myself. Though I'm sure there are several tasks that still haven't been put online yet, which is why there hasn't been talk of the next task yet. I know mine has been sitting in the queue for a while now.

Kyle and myself are currently discussing the exact timing for the next one. Count on a Sunday release, in the morning FT time. Exact time to follow when we know the weekend weather :)

Hmmm, another week of self-control as I avoid clicking the threads - it will be released when my quiz-writing time for this week ends. The pain of not knowing what is going on!

Fortunately for me, I am on summer vacation so the timing of the clues doesn't affect me as much! I won't be able to complete the quiz Sunday morning when the clue comes out. I will have to wait until Sunday night or Monday morning, but that takes nowhere near the amount of self control you will have to show!

I'm in a fiasco here! I submitted a flag quiz into the "Flags and Symbols" category, only to find that the "World Flags" subcategory is closed to submissions. Now I'm trying to find an idea that'll work with my title. My 6 day queue wait time didn't help me either (but I know its long in some cases).

Before you write a quiz that you think will go to some particular category, it's always a good idea to use Browse Categories on the Quizzes menu to look at it first. If you play the quizzes that are already there, you will get an idea of the kind of quiz that fits there, and may realize that there is another category that looks like an even better spot for your quiz. While you browse, you will you see if there is a big red message saying it is a closed category; you can play the quizzes that are already there, and avoid duplicating questions, another common reason for having a quiz sent back for more work. (This isn't a sermon, just passing on a lesson learned the hard way for myself. Good research before starting to write a quiz can save lots of time in the long run, even when you are itching to get started with the writing.)

By the end of the whole sprint, the fastest score might well not be with the player who wrote the fastest but the only one who has managed to avoid all minor or major disasters along the way.

Will miracles never cease? I've submitted Mariamir and my Task 8 quiz for Kyle's thread, entitled "Only Forever" in Movies. We'll see how quickly it goes on line. I had to travel to the opposite coast of the US to be with an ailing relative in between starting and finishing this one, which explains the extra delay. At least it is in before the next set of clues comes out!

Thanks Playmate! I was going to post the link in Kyle's thread (since that's where we took the task from) but I see from above that there's a new clue, so I'd better not LOL!

Wes, I just realized that I mixed up the theme for my quiz with the quote at the end, and the title I posted in such a hurry in your thread was not the one I intended to use. Nor is it the one in my quiz. What do I do? Can I go with the one that I meant to post, but for some reason (don't ask me, I don't know) I didn't, or do I have to write a whole new quiz with the one I posted? Sorry for the mix-up.

Mariamir, I answered you by PM in this case since I would be giving away what the clue type is.

We just lost the football on a penalty shoot out (again!) so do I drown my sorrows or write a quiz. May have a drink or two while I think about that one.

Sorry for your loss, Christinap... although in the end it wouldn't have made any difference, what with Germany waiting to stomp on whomever won. :D

That's true, and to be fair Italy deserved to win, they were the better team. Hopefully they will beat Germany and go on to win the tournment. Never so bad when you loose to the eventual winner.
