Quiz Creation Notes for Video Games Quiz Creation Guidelines are generic and apply to all categories in Quizzyland. The creation notes in here outline some of the peculiarities which apply only to quizzes in the Video Games category. Before you create a quiz, please play a few games and familiarize yourself with the contents of Quiz Creation Guidelines and these Notes. Please do NOT write a quiz unless you've played some games and are familiar with the contents of the Guidelines and these Notes. The most common errors are: (a) time reference questions the answer is not a constant, and may change as time goes by, (b) linked questions inter-dependent questions are not allowed, each question must stand on its own 2 feet, (c) date stamping of questions with 'as of 2004' which results in questions going stale, (d) inadequate or an absence of blurbs explaining the answer don't leave players hanging, wondering why the answer is correct, and (e) writing a quiz in the present tense should be avoided, write it in the past tense if at all possible. Video Game titles must be in quotation marks unless they are standing alone as an entire answer. The Title or Introduction of your quiz must include the system of the game you are writing about. If you are writing about a series of games, this is not needed as some games in different series span different consoles and systems. Quiz titles must be no longer than 5 words. Fill-in-the-blank answers should not have quotation marks or other punctuation - and remember that we no longer accept quizzes where more than half the questions are fill-in-the-blank. Fill-in-the-blank answers must be no longer than 5 words in length, and there should be one discernible answer to a FITB question. Answers such as 'Mario & Zelda' will not be acceptable as they are completely different answers. New quiz makers should not use fill-in-the-blank questions in quizzes submitted to this category. Interesting info must be in complete sentences and should go beyond simply giving the title of a video game or simply stating the question and answer again. All quizzes in the Video Games category require at least two full sentences of interesting information per question. Remember, this is often the most important part of a quiz, so devote some time into it. First time quiz creators If you are a first time quiz creator, then the following rules apply to your quiz: (a)your quiz must be just 10 questions in length, and (b) you cannot use any fill-in-the-blank questions. Rejection of quizzes by Editors If your quiz is rejected, don't get upset - make the suggested changes and resubmit. If you don't understand the rejection note, reply to the editor and politely ask for help and clarification. We will make sure that anyone who puts some effort forward will get his or her quiz online and will offer any help we can. Correction Notes When filing a correction note, keep in mind that this is a fun site, not a competition and the points earned are just for fun. Also keep in mind that there are many children and young adults making some of these quizzes so try to 'cut them some slack' about their errors. Rude and offensive remarks (even if they are to your friends) will be reported to the webmaster and could result in your suspension, or ejection, from this site. When making a correction, make certain your information is correct and be sure to include the question number so we can find the error. All error reports will be evaluated. Above all, have fun and enjoy this site! Quizzes under construction Please note that quizzes which have not been submitted after a substantial amount of time will be deleted. If you would like more time to create your quiz, add the words *Please do not delete* or something similar to the title of your quiz. Although the system will keep your quiz alive for a few more weeks/months, please do not rely on this concession; keep a back-up copy! If you wish to submit quizzes that are 20 or 25 questions in length, please consult one of the editors in this category to see if it suitable. Quizzes with only 10 or 15 questions are expected in most instances. We will not accept any quizzes on games that have not been released. This is because information can not be verified until after the game has been released. What may be added to a game may change following tests and modifications done before a game is sent to the public. Do not submit quizzes with the following: offensive language or material, long or hard-to-spell fill-in-the-blank answers, or silly answers (like 'who cares,' 'I don't know,' etc.). Please put your quizzes in an appropriate sub-category - not just the main Video Games category! Minor typos and spelling errors in quizzes are usually corrected by Editors before going online, but quizzes with a significant number of errors will be returned, as will quizzes which do not adhere to the Quiz Creation Guidelines and these Notes. Questions solely regarding the rating of a video game will no longer be accepted as it may vary from country to country. The same applies (in most cases) for questions regarding video game packaging/cases and what is featured on them. We do not accept scrambles or anagram questions in this category. Note: Some subcategories are restricted, or even closed. Please view the guidelines in restricted subcategories for more information. Thanks for your co-operation.
