Topic: Time Crunch - COMPLETE

Posted by: kyleisalive

Subject: Time Crunch - COMPLETE
Date: Oct 11 12

A number of authors have expressed a lack of spark with quiz-writing over the past little while, so I'd like to try something. For this challenge, we only need to have seven quizzes; one a day for a week. Starting today, I'll post a subcategory on the site and one person needs to submit a quiz in it during that day. If one is not submitted, the challenge will end. If one ends up queued, however, we can all move on to the next one on the following day and so on until next Friday.

If you submit a quiz on day 1 and it goes online first, you may not submit for any of the proceeding days. If yours is not the first online, you may try to be first again the next day until you are the first to count. We should have seven quizzes, one per day, each from a different author.

Completed Tasks:

I have the same situation... Alright, then, you'll do it, Gil. This will keep going the next few weeks, right? I don't mean this sequence, I mean this idea of the Time Crunch.

The same rule applies to you if you want to write it and you have a quiz in the queue, though yours is likely to be on tonight.

Excellent to see that we've beaten the Crunch (not that I thought you all wouldn't). :)

Captain, I think the authors, meaning me as well, were expecting something a bit more... shiny, what with the Sprint going all pear-shaped, reclaimed by the sea and the treasure with it.

Sorry, couldn't resist paraphrasing "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"... :)

Congrats to all the authors, and good idea, Kyle!

I take it the "shiny" something is Project Q?

Sure.

Gil_Galad Well, this was pretty cool. It'd be nice to see it again... with a twist to make it a little harder. Before the Crunch starts, allow only 7 players to subscribe it to it, and only they will be able to submit quizzes for the Crunch, with every other rule being the same.

Stop it, this way was hard enough! Seriously, it's nice to have everyone able to participate if they see something they think they can handle; guaranteeing blindly that you will write what you have to write takes a lots of faith in yourself and your ability to write any quiz. Ask anyone who has girded their loins and submitted a commission title. :) But seeing a challenge for a category with which you are comfortable could be undertaken by anyone.

Hopefully if we do it again there will be a category I'm more comfortable with.

Oh, and nice job everyone. :)

We were kinda crunched under pressure anyway.

Well done on completion. I don't think the time crunch actually needs to be changed much... if it's reinstated it's a nice booster to kick people into action. Doesn't need to be a big challenge.
