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.

Oddly, sultanas would lend themselves so easily to Hobbies.

I kept thinking sultana, but just couldn't make a quiz out of it. :-P

They wouldn't all need to be sultanas, you could expand to other dried fruits, or to other uses of various types of grape, etc.

Here's mine:

I didn't check the time, but it may be quick as I'd already seen Kyle's title and listed some ideas. Then I clicked on this thread by mistake, meaning to be on the general sprint thread, so had a mad panic to write and submit it. Thanks to Natalie it went on quickly and in the right sub category.

Wes, I wrote this quiz for Kyle's clue, but it got moved to another subcategory that nixed its eligibility. I see that it *does* fit your clue. I also know that Anna wrote one for your clue. Will you take the best time between the two?

Took a whole day to get SOMEthing written (because I had to throw out two different attempts at "evil" Kyle's task LOL), but have finally submitted "A Paler Shade of White" (challenge title from rossian - thanks!) in the kid's wordplay category "other".

I've submitted one under Wes' banner but it could also have qualified under Kyle's

Task 11 - Are you an Expert?

To find out, go into your profile, section “Expertise” and then write a quiz in the Expert subcategory in which you beat the MOST players! (If that category can't be written for, just take the next one in line and if there's a tie, you choose.) If you've never won an Expert game, you have the free category choice, but your title must begin with "The Dilettante's Guide to...". In either case, all questions must be in multiple choice format.

For this topic, your quiz may be written up in one of the subordinate categories of the chosen one. For example, if your category were “Our Solar System”, you could either be in that category itself or in any of the eight planet-specific categories below it.

In addition to the above, just to put this at a suitable round 11 difficulty, you must choose and adhere to ONE of the following complications (doing more than one is allowed, but you won’t get any bonus for it):
- Your title must be an author challenge issued by someone who is not Kyle, OR
- Each of your answers (correct AND wrong) must be a single word, OR
- You must write a 15 question quiz.

My category is Country Music, and it's an author challenge that isn't Kyle's.
