Subject: The Quiz and Crossword Contracts
Posted by: WesleyCrusher
Date: May 01 19
Sometimes a throwaway joke can inspire an idea. When explaining to a newer author how to best deal with challenge requirements in the edit process I mentioned, jokingly, that they had only become an issue since we had tasks like "Write a Fill the Blank quiz in a subcategory of Sci/Tech that you have exactly one quiz ranked worse than 50,000 in, featuring the name of a deceased actor from Bhutan in the title, using all 26 letters in the alphabet in each question and writing the info in limerick form". Then, about 20 minutes later, I was struck by the realization that, if this task were posted in the Lounge, someone would probably actually do it, sooner or later.
And that means we can make a game out of it, right?
So let's get creative - both in setting tasks and in solving them. Here are the current ten tasks:
Contract #312 - 22 points: Write a classic style quiz or photo quiz in the History category on the history of any one country that does not already have a history quiz on FT. (by BigTriviaDawg)
Contract #318 - 16 points: Write a quiz for the Sub-Sets Challenge. (by Kyleisalive)
Contract #320 - 14 points: Write a photo quiz about coronations. At least one question must be FITB, and one question 50/50. (by Reedy)
Contract #325 - 9 points: Write a quiz about Adrien Brody. (by VBookWorm)
Contract #328 - 6 points: Write a quiz about a Russian television series of your choice. (by VBookWorm)
Contract #329 - 5 points: Write a classification quiz where the categories are all related to ducks but are not in the animal or science categories. (by Ilona_Ritter)
Contract #330 - 4 points: Write a 15-question quiz with exactly six words in the title, without using the letter 'e' in the title. At least three questions must be FITB, and two T/F-Y/N questions. (by Reedy)
Contract #331 - 3 points: Create a crossword on the history of any country with no more than 20% fillers. (by Sam388)
Contract #332 - 2 points: Write a quiz containing the word 'Pizza' in its title that is exactly 15 questions long and is neither in Food (Hobbies), Sci/Tech, nor World. The quiz can be either a Photo Quiz or a Photo-Match Quiz. (by Ilona_Ritter)
Contract #333 - 1 point: Using COVID-19 as an example, write a quiz about epidemics that changed the course of history. (by 1nn1)
Once you have picked a task and written, please submit it with the entire contract stipulation (including the number) in the note to the editor.
Wait for the quiz to go online, then report it here to claim the contract. If it's good, you'll receive the task's point value for the leaderboard AND you get to set up a new contract, entirely of your choosing. Come up with an evilly convoluted challenge, set up an easy one in the hopes of it being snatched quickly or just use the opportunity to make someone write a quiz about THAT ONE topic you always wanted to play but never got the chance as all nineteen online entries about it are yours... anything goes as long as it is possible. ("Write a match quiz in which every answer is a pangram" would not work - answers that long would not be accepted in the format). You must provide a new contract stipulation in the same post as your claim or the claim is invalid.
Every time a new contract goes up, all others increase in value by one point. Thus, there will always be ten options and after the starting phase in which scores are a bit on the low side, there will be always be a task (the oldest one) worth at least 10, and possibly considerably more if no one has taken it for a while. Thus, the longer a contract sits there (and thus the harder it presumably is to fill), the more lucrative it will become. And at some point, even writing that Sci/Tech quiz named after a dead Bhutanese actor will sound like a really enticing proposition...
You can finish any unfinished quizzes/crosswords to fill a contract, no need to make a new template, as long as the template was never submitted by the time the contract went up. You can't claim your own contracts of course, although authors whose contracts go all too high in value are encouraged to prove that it CAN be done.
There is no reserving in this game - you need to be the first to claim a contract, by actually fulfilling it with a quiz that meets the requirement. There's also no double-dipping - if you submit a quiz, you fill one and only one contract with it (if it qualifies for more than one, you must indicate which one you want - it'll probably be the higher score).
Yes this counts for Pangalactic and while it is probably not the best idea to advertise what you are working on (someone else might feel encouraged to steal it from under your nose), bluffing and other tactics are perfectly legit in this game. The only thing we don't want to see is collusion - so don't post a contract specifically tailored to your best buddy.
As some authors may wish to request clarifications for a contract by personal message (to not immediately alert anyone to the fact they're working on), we ask that anyone who answers such a clarification request post the answer to the thread as well while preserving anonymity, so that everyone is on the same page regarding a specific task.
Also, importantly, please remember the editors are under no obligation to check your entry for compliance with the task. You will find that most are willing to send it back for fixes if they find an obvious, easily fixed, mismatch, but there are no guarantees. If your entry only almost qualifies and goes online, well, you have a good quiz online and a second opportunity to work on the contract, possibly even for a higher score.
And now have fun!

Not to mention that the scoring and updating is a very complicated procedure. Each challenge completed means: 1)Putting that under Contracts Completed. 2)Updating the leaderboard. 3)Increasing each challenge point by 1 point. 4)Adding the new challenge. Added to that we have players claiming challenges before they are up!:-) Reply #141. May 29 19, 9:49 AM |

I've updated the list to what I think we're at at this point. Kudos RedHook for the crazy point intake on the one task.

I was inspired by Contract #46 (creating a CW based on the first verse of "God Save the Queen") to create my own CW based on the first verse of "My Country 'Tis of Thee", not for points, but for kicks and giggles. Feel free to laugh when you get it. :) Reply #146. May 29 19, 5:03 PM |

If I understand the requirements correctly, I'd like to claim this contract: Contract #38 - 13 points: Write a quiz or crossword to finish off an open Lounge Challenge or Commission. (by zorba_scank) for my quiz "It's a Long Way to Tickle Mary" http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Music/Its-a-Long-Way-to-Tickle-Mary-397761.html This was written to fulfill my participation in Commission 57, Long and Short. This quiz has been online today. I accidentally pulled it offline when I tried to make a small edit in the introduction to clarify the Quiz Contract and Commission. Reply #147. May 30 19, 5:32 AM |

Sorry, Bernie. I guess I wasn't clear enough. The quiz to go online should be the last remaining quiz of the particular challenge/commission. There are 31 quizzes due in commission 57. The person to get the last one online and finish off the commission would qualify to claim the contract. Of course there are other challenges open right now which don't need to wait that long.

I would like to claim Contract #29--Write an architecture quiz on either a single architectural style of the 20th century or on one particular architect's collective work. Either way the quiz must be suitable for the Humanities/Architecture subcategory not the People category. My quiz is "Art Deco in the United States" https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Humanities/Art-Deco-in-the-United-States-397820.html I propose as the next contract: Construct a 10 question quiz that is a sequel to my quiz for Contract 29, but focuses on 10 Art Deco buildings in your country or region of the world. (If you live in the US, like myself, you need to write about 10 other Art Deco buildings in the US.) Reply #151. May 30 19, 8:47 PM |

This has been a great challenge so far, but I'd like to propose one modification to the rules. If a contract gets to a ridiculously high vale (say 50 points), a player is allowed to call out the contract proposer who then can demonstrate the quiz or cw that meets the requirements for half of the current point value (rounded down). I believe an initial concern with this game was potential collusion to feed each personally tailored contracts, but I would find it hard to believe that all of us would collude for that long to pass up on a quiz that valuable. Also, so far I think all of us could have met any of the contracts if we had desired. I am assuming that for the rest of you it was like it was for me--there were some contracts that just drew my attention/interest more than others. Reply #158. Jun 02 19, 3:39 AM |

I would like to claim contract 48: Use the exact same title and write three quizzes, each in a different category. Quizzes already written can count for this task. (by Zorba_Scank) http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/World/Say-Cheese-346790.html http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/BrainTeasers/Say-Cheese-397824.html http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Hobbies/Say-Cheese-397827.html New contract: Write a 10 question multiple choice quiz on the Aussie band 'Sherbet'. There is only one quiz about them currently online, so this will allow them to have their own sub-category. Ensure to add a note to the editor regarding this. Reply #159. Jun 02 19, 4:28 AM |

Is it customary that in Music a group gets its own subcategory at the second quiz? In most categories subcategories are created at the third quiz. Reply #160. Jun 02 19, 1:59 PM |
