Subject: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge
Posted by: Terry
Date: Mar 16 10
While the replacement of low-ranked quizzes is a continuing goal, preparation of extra quizzes to introduce variety for the tourists is also important now that the Bus Ride is well-established. Some tourists have been around the world over ten times, and even nice quizzes get repetitive. The lowest-ranked quiz currently used for the tour has a ranking that is roughly in the top third of all quizzes, so replacement is not an urgent matter, but we would still like to have new quizzes of a suitable quality to use as replacements, to provide a bit of diversity for those players who have played every day since the beginning, and who have probably memorised the answers to the current quizzes.
If you create a new quiz on a Bus Ride country, get it placed online, and have it place within a reasonable ranking, it may be rotated in to provide a more diverse program. Should your quiz manage a higher ranking than the current entry, it could become the permanent fixture, waiting for a future challenger. As an added bonus, we have modified the ratings system to give all quizzes in our rotation a ratings bump.
Feel free to use this thread to also "claim" a country so that you don't duplicate someone else's effort, and make sure to follow along with our later posts and updates to make sure that everything is in order. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
This link will show you what the ranking is for each of our current country quizzes.

After playing today's bus ride, I can see why Gabon needs a new quiz. Urgently! Unfortunately, I have too many challenges on my plate already to take it. Reply #101. Mar 28 10, 3:44 AM |

I have some holidays coming up, and will add it to my 'to do' list - 5 questions with virtually no extra information! If anyone else wants to tackle it, please post here. if I see no messages, I will work on it as part of my Easter break. Reply #102. Mar 28 10, 3:50 AM |

I'll do Gabon. It's obscure enough for my tastes. Reply #105. Mar 28 10, 8:11 AM |

After taking this quiz, I'd love to do Gabon. But since Geography is my weakest category knowlege-wise, I'll happily leave that to Leo, who will do a wonderful job as always : ) Reply #106. Mar 28 10, 4:55 PM |

Leo I am glad you are picking up Gabon - just played it and it really needs an update :) I hope to tackle the Maldives over the next week. And thanks Rowena for posting my Estonia quiz - was just going to come and do it :) Reply #107. Mar 28 10, 5:32 PM |

With Leo taking Gabon, I will continue my Caribbean experience, and start Trinidad & Tobago this evening when I get home. Reply #109. Mar 28 10, 10:16 PM |

Staying in the Caribbean, where I really must go someday, I will do Saint Lucia next. Reply #112. Mar 30 10, 9:58 PM |

Aaaaaaarghhhhh! I had Saint Lucia all written except for the II on question 10 and the final summary when my computer informed me it could not perform autosave on the document and closed down. Autorecover just gave me the original title and category where it is to go, 3 hours of work ago. Now I have managed to recall what the gist of the 10 questions was, and will start reconstructing it. May or may not get done tonight, depending on how discouraged I get at having to chase down all the details again. (I didn't even recover the links to useful sites!) Reply #113. Mar 31 10, 3:38 AM |

Whew! I remembered more than I had hoped, and was able to relocate the information links fairly quickly to confirm my memory. Saint Lucia has been submitted. Reply #115. Mar 31 10, 5:55 AM |
