Topic: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -

Posted by: WesleyCrusher

Subject: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -
Date: Apr 11 12

Hello to all sprinters,

this thread will be used for the "W" clue set for the FunTrivia sprint. Each of the clues will be posted at some time during the release date (as early as possible) and then a post will be made in the game's main thread to inform you about the new clue.

IMPORTANT: Once each new clue has been posted, clicking on this thread WILL start your timer for the round. Thus, once the game starts, do not come here until you are ready to start writing for the week! (If in doubt, check the main thread first to see if the clue has already been released.)

POSTING RULES: Since this is the best, "safe" place to do so, you can ask any questions you may have about the clues here; thus, the thread will not be closed. However, please make sure you only post questions pertaining to the currently active clue - any discussions on past clues or general aspects of writing for the Sprint that do not spoil the clue for those who have not seen it yet should go in the game's main thread. Please do not send clue clarification questions by PM - any clarification request should be made in the open and the answer will benefit all players.

And now - have fun with the Sprint!



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
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.

Are we actually required to "claim" things in these threads first or can we just go ahead and write them?

For our team, I submitted "Whale Rider" (as the movie title) for a quiz that is actually about Joshua on May 16 3:58 a.m. FT Time.

Also apologies to triviaking - I didn't open any threads until May 15 and just scrolled til I found the 12th where Kyle/Wes posted the tasks. I didn't even read the rest of the threads at ALL that day because I wanted to get writing (quite frankly I've "trained myself" not to touch them PERIOD unless it's "my turn" to write LOL), so didn't see your post about Joshua until today. Anyway, just wanted to say I didn't deliberately try to copy/usurp your idea (I feel bad now, sigh).

This what you mean?

zorba_scank I kept wondering how Joshua could possibly be connected with a title like 'Whale Rider'. Jonah was the one who popped into my mind when I saw the title. :)

zorba_scank You need not feel bad now, Jakeroo. Triviaking's quiz is on Joshua while your's is on Jonah.

George, I fear that yes, you would have to write another. It's no longer a qualifying quiz.

However, after consulting with Kyle - we will NOT time you on that extra quiz, instead it will count as 2 revisions (editor send-backs) so at the worst you'll be hit for 8 hours in your total.

You're right zorba. I've completely "lost it" now. I can't read AND I can't type LOL!

Task 5: Sequels and Companions

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so the saying goes. Here's your chance to showcase a quiz of which you always thought "I wish I had written that" (or "I wish I would finally have the time to continue this") by providing it with a second part, counterpart or otherwise fitting companion. Your source quiz can be your own or someone else's, but whatever you choose, you should stick to the general style of the original author and the title must be an obvious reference.

Make sure you credit the source of your inspiration and be sure not to just add 10 extra questions to a quiz - your quiz should stand alone on its own merits, so I don't want to see "Revenge is Still a Dish" with 10 more photos of cold food as your reply to Kyle's Clue 1 Sprint quiz. A valid option to continue that one would be "Oh, Sweet Justice" with a candy theme.

To ensure that last part, your continuation may not be written in the exact same subcategory as the original (different subcategories of the same main category are okay). The General Knowledge category is also off limits, everything else is up to you. Good luck!

It took me nearly all day, but mine is finally submitted! I had to do a bit of research for it, but I'm happy with the outcome! It is also in a category that will help me for the Pangalactic.

My inspiration came from one of skunkee's quizzes in the Movie Villains subcat. called "Good People Can Do Bad Things"

I thought of something that will take more time but should be better received.
...and it'll help my Pan-Galactic.

Halfway there. This one is frighteningly difficult to work only because there are too many options.
