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!

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.

Godwit, the sunnies bit has been extended into early March, to allow an extra week for quizzes to qualify. Kyle announced that a while ago. My first quiz for this challenge went online on Feb 3, so should be ranked next week.

I saw Wes describe the algorithm somewhere - a quiz has to pass through a certain number of ranking processes before it is considered for ranking. If your quiz goes online hours before that week's ranking process, you will be waiting for nearly a week less than a quiz that goes online immediately after the weekly ranking. At least, that is what I understood from his explanation.

((Are you sure you mean Trivia Scattergories (I)? That's been completed since before February began. As for Trivia Scattergories (II) that's far from being done, so I don't think you meant that either.))

Hmm.... The bad news is, you are right; the good news is, I found others.

Okay, I'll try again. For Kyle I recently contributed to:
The Lounge Goes Back to School
Commission XXIV (Hot or Cold)
Dungeons or Dragons
Sultans of Swing

Each of these has one quiz left to be completed! So come on, guys! Somebody finish one of these! :-)

Add this one to the numbers. I've thanked Looney_Tunes elsewhere for the Editor's Choice tag. I'm happy you like my work. This is so much fun!

On the current topic, I'll have a quiz done soon on "The Life and Death of King John" for the All the World's a Stage challenge. That will leave only three Shakespeare plays to complete that challenge, since it looks like the Henry VI plays count as one (nobody has picked them, probably because - Who has read them?). People have said they were doing the other two, but I don't know how fast they'll be or if they are participating here.

Looking again at the Shakespeare challenge. Looks like there's Coriolanus, All's Well That Ends Well, Merry Wives of Windsor, and the Henry VI trilogy, as well as my King John. I don't think we'll finish that one by the end of February.
