Topic: February Author Pot Luck

Posted by: kyleisalive

Subject: February Author Pot Luck
Date: Jan 31 13

You're invited!

The Quiz Author Lounge is having a Pot Luck and all you need to do to join in the festivities is bring a quiz. Any quiz. Really.

To be honest, there is a list of things we definitely need to make this a success, but most importantly, we need to have 120 quizzes in this month. That could be four quizzes for thirty authors or five for twenty-four (or any variation). A quiz a week.

All you need to do is write and submit the quiz. If it gets online in February (until, perhaps, the end of the 4th of March) it will be added to the Pot Luck's goal. The great thing is, even if you're a first-time author, you can bring a quiz and it will count to the collective total!

But where's the challenge in this? Some of our more prolific authors may be thinking '120? Piece of cake.' Well, in addition to needing to post 120 quizzes, a total of 50 requirements will need to be met; all of this will be a collective goal. Some will be as basic as completing a quiz in each category by the month's end; some will require more difficult criteria. These criteria can stack up, so if we need a quiz about cats, you can make it count for both that cats requirement and the specific category requirement.

Keep in mind that while fifty requirements must be met collectively, that means seventy quizzes (or more) could be about anything. Further, all of these quizzes can count towards your Pan-Galactics. ;)

Authors will be able to submit a maximum of six quizzes. This will ensure that we don't have just five people writing twenty-four quizzes each this month; we want the Pot Luck to be a success for more than five people! When the quiz is online, post it in here for it to count. The results will all be listed at the end of the month.

The requirements list will be posted tomorrow when the doors to the Lounge's temporary banquet hall open. I've still got some cleaning up to do. Until then, think of the possibilities! Remember: even one quiz will help everyone in the long run!

Enjoy, and have fun!

I'm hoping it's Chili, but I wouldn't be surprised if you found a way to finish 'first-time' author.

Buddy1 Do quizzes count as long as they are placed on-line in February? In other words, if a quiz is either partially written or submitted but not on-line, will both still count?

Only if it goes online.

Quizzes started and in progress before February *will* count, however.

Well, it's my "first-time chili author quiz".

Ok - this could be the first one. My quiz "It's Grim Up North" is my contribution for a Geography category quiz. I don't think it meets any of the others - although here's hoping for sunnies in due course!

I'm a bit surprised that getting sunnies within the month is a challenge... To get ranked, it needs to see 3 Mondays, right? So we need 4 quizzes written before Monday, AND get sunnies, to qualify?


Also surprised to see that "photo quiz" is not a requirement. :P

Cooking up my pot of chili through quiz... It's going well. 4 questions done, the meat is cooked. This is going to be a delicious pot luck quiz.

I love it, Row. I should rename my quiz to that. lol.

But I won't.


Now to let it stew for a few hours. Added tomatoes, won't add beans until after.

See! Already we have something to try. Shame Stedman's the only one at the event so far. You need your quizzes to join!

I'm writing one for TV right now. :)

Mine is now in the queue, I was inspired to get a move on lol. That said, it's heading for General so it might not make it by Monday if the queues there are as big as they usually are.
One good thing about it is, it furthers my Adventures in Authoring quest so that will be nice :-D
I think one of my team mates will get a nice surprise when he sees it too, all being well ;-)

Okay, let me understand this. Any quiz I write in February is going to count toward my Pan-Galactic because this is part of Pot Luck?

Reply #33. Feb 01 13, 2:36 PM

kyleisalive

Not entirely.

Any quiz you write for the Pot Luck (which counts towards it) goes to Pan-Galactic.
Remember: you can only bring a maximum of 6 quizzes to the Pot Luck. Any you write beyond that won't count towards Pan-Galactic.

Me? I hope. :P


My quiz is going to hobbies, obviously. I hope to get it finished tonight at home. Gotta get it online before Monday!

Kyle,

The Requirements listed in the top post apply to 50 quizzes, leaving 70 to be about anything, as stated in the original post, correct?

So basically, all I'd have to do is say: "Here is my quiz. Please count it toward the potluck". Right?

Reply #36. Feb 01 13, 3:40 PM

When the quiz is online, post the link here. That means it counts. Only your first six will count.

Later on in the month we'll have a bit of a rule change, but we'll see how things go. Until then, everything in the header post counts.

Yes-- 70 (likely more) can be *anything*. You don't need to work to fulfill a guideline. In fact, you can say 'I don't want to fulfill a guideline' and I'll omit it. It can just count as one of the total.

We'd better get serious about the Quiz-O-Meter, which has had us stumped for ages!

My new quiz will take care of Trivia Scattegories, Bus Ride Renewal, AA, and may work for the Quiz-O-Meter.
