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.

Kyle, Estonia can now be removed from the list in the header - we have a 'replacement' quiz that ranks higher than the previous acceptable one, so no replacement is needed any more. Reply #1201. Jan 13 15, 12:00 AM |

Kyle. I realize that you have Britain in the list, I do wonder, though, whether Scotland, and indeed England and Wales, shouldn't really be considered countries in their own right...?? M Reply #1202. Apr 19 15, 9:16 AM |

You would have to ask Terry or LT about that; the only thing I do here is alter the list when she asks. None of this is my doing. Reply #1203. Apr 19 15, 11:37 AM |

Terry has said he has no plans to change it in the immediate future,as the change is actually massive. (I asked when South Sudan was recognised.) For a start, the 195 day badge is meant to represent visiting every country, which would no longer be true. Reply #1204. Apr 19 15, 1:41 PM |

Bumping this up to remind TRIC players that their quiz might be a candidate. I check them all as I see them, but if you are also in Pangalactics, a quiz that gets onto the Bus Ride would count for it. If you have posted the intention here, I will notify you if I do rotate it in. Otherwise, you might not notice. Reply #1205. May 23 15, 4:36 PM |

I just did a quiz on Oman for TRIC, but maybe it would work for the Bus Ride also. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/The-Sultanate-of-Oman-376272.html Reply #1207. Jul 17 15, 10:53 AM |

It's on my list to check when it gets ranked. I'll post here if it does get added. Reply #1208. Jul 17 15, 6:49 PM |

Don't forget to post in the Pangalactics thread, so Wes can add it to your records. Reply #1211. Jul 17 15, 9:32 PM |

Just up: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/A-Peek-at-the-Philippines-378527.html Composed partly with the Bus Ride in mind. Time will tell if it makes the grade. Reply #1213. Dec 07 15, 1:20 AM |

I would like to try for Pakistan Reply #1215. Jan 22 16, 9:38 AM |

I have a new Pakistan quiz waiting for ranking, but the numbers look good, so the current one may well be replaced shortly. But go for it - it would be great to have several highly-ranked quizzes from which to choose! Reply #1216. Jan 22 16, 2:17 PM |

One subcategory that has no quizzes in it will be appearing in TRIC this coming weekend, so hopefully someone can tackle it for the Bus Ride. ;) Reply #1218. Apr 22 16, 12:47 AM |

Just bumping this as a subtle suggestion in relation to the Five Letter Cascade's latest word. :) Reply #1219. Jul 02 16, 6:43 PM |
