Tactics Arena Online Trivia Quiz

Answer: Spread game

Though spread used to be a well-known form, defensive spreading has basically died out and turned into just another way of rushing. There's no such thing as a spread game, which is a good thing too, because it's really difficult to distinguish between spreads and rushes.

Answer: Nads

Warcow, though contributing highly to the game as well, didn't write it Nor did Crx, but he's made an impact through skill and funny-to-read posts. Bills doesn't really do much.

Answer: False

For a DSM and zero or one pyro, they deal 27 damage. Throwing in a third will bring them down to 24, but still enough to kill a cleric. A fourth, however, brings it down to 22.

Answer: Is a moderator/admin

Green font, despite popular belief, indicates being a mod, as does a white username and being listed at the top of the lobby list. However, this usually takes about twenty minutes to establish whenever a mod signs onto a server.

Answer: Stone Golem

Though Furgons and Frost Golems are often used in turtles, they can also be used in numerous other forms. Meanwhile, a Stone Golem is almost always an indicator of turtling, though it isn't required. If you picked Dragonspeaker Mage, you have no idea what you're doing.

Answer: Golem Ambusher

The Golem Ambusher, hated by a great deal of players, is more commonly banned from games than almost all other units combined. Often games are prefaced with "No busher", or "No GA". Most turtle rules to this date ban the Ambusher.

Answer: A list of tournament winners

No list has ever been compiled, mainly because so many tournaments have been run, and no one has ever really kept track of them all. The other three are all along the top row on the forums, along with User CP, FAQ, New Posts, Search, and Log Out.

Answer: Theburning

Theburning ran a highly successful grand league among Revelations players, which unfortunately died from lack of interest. It has now been somewhat replaced by a high increase in player-run tournaments.

Answer: Adaptability

The other three are all listed as criteria in the CAU threads. Adaptability, I.E. ability to fit to multiple situations, may be considered with other gameplay impacts, but is not directly looked to when deciding the validity of a unit.

Answer: Luck Balanced Tourney

Tag team tourneys have occurred numerous times already, where each player begins a game where the last left off, units-wise. Eight unit tourneys, four unit tourneys, etc., have become popular as well. Clan War tourneys exist, but usually do not work out well, as too many games are required. No such Luck Balanced tourney has ever been made and titled as such; most tournaments as a general principle try to decrease luck factors, but it is not a tournament type. Nor would it be, because this is expected in almost all tournaments.

Answer: Twelve

Bottle, Wolfman and Warcow are all expert turtlers, and famous for it. Twelve, though an amazing player in his own right, became well known as a rusher rather than a turtler. All four are part of the Team Revelations squad, but Twelve is not included in the turtle division.

Answer: Xyxaxyz2

Moose, Wayf, and Omega are all legenders who chill a lot on FPS forums and servers. Many don't always realize that they are from legends, however, because they are seen very often on the FPS servers. Xyx, better known as Realist, is Great Lakes born and raised.

Answer: Rantzu1

On banff, Rantzu1 shocked the world when he reached and surpassed 1800. Though Crx repeated this feat on Great Lakes (as did Dragoen Link, but he fell below it later. Carlos22 broke it too, but that was much more recent), he came much later. Armageddon has seen some break 1800, but not before rantzu1. Cavour's a major player, but didn't break 1800 yet.

Answer: Dragonspeaker Mage

Lightning Ward and Dragon Tyrant both have base damages sufficient to deal 28+ damage. Assassin has an alternate attack that can kill anything in one hit. A DSM's maximum damage, however, is 27, unless a person has more than 1 dragon (which no typical Gold accounts have).

Answer: Zzzaacckk

Lord Achilles created Bushido Gaiden, a highly successful clan. Resurgent247 (or his brother, both use the same account) created The Elite, which was an incredible clan when it was strong, eventually to be led later by Warcow.. Allstar had TAO Allstars.

It didn't last too long, but it was still a good clan. Zzzaacckk, a member of both Bushido Gaiden and Strategic Insomniacs, has retired from playing without ever creating a real clan of his own.

Answer: 5

Once a player reaches 5 dim green reputation boxes, all other boxes beyond that are lit up. This helps distinguish higher reputations faster. No one has reached 6 RED reputation boxes, however, though The Fairplay is coming close, with 5.

Answer: Kyir - Bulldog

The following were my other possible choices for correct mascots, but I didn't have room:
Jonspen - Stormtrooper
Bottle - Pikachu
Office_Shredder - Peanut

Kyir doesn't have a mascot he is well-known by. The bulldog was arbitrarily chosen.

Answer: World peace

Noobs, or newer players, usually ask for things that would benefit them. World peace doesn't directly benefit them in the context of the game, and therefore is not usually asked for.

Answer: Argg

He also says "Word" and "Pwned" a lot as well, but Wayfaerer, who is well-known for his strange speak that resembles Martian, has not been known to say Argg, nor is it part of his linguistic reputation. One cannot go through a conversation with Wayf without hearing Nub, Scrub, Psh, or Word.
Wayfaerer is a very well-known player, who is also a moderator on the legends forums.

Answer: Muddy/Beast Rider

This one's pretty simple. Most people don't use Beast Rider, and even those who do admit it's pretty easy to block early game. The Mud golem is often used to help kill the cleric, but Beast Riders can rarely perform the other required role.

Answer: True

The knight would then have 115 armor, which would reduce all attacks to zero. Many people get confused by this, because they do not believe a unit can be undamageable.

Answer: 14

The pyromancer's damage would initially be 24, because of the DSM, Dragon, and other Pyro. The assassin's armor would be 48 (12 + 30). This means that the damage becomes 58% of 24. Round to about 60%, you can figure it out just by doing 2.4 times 6, which is 14.4. Round down, because it's not halfway, plus you're doing 58% instead of 60%.

Answer: No

Shiny's title is "Not a Janitor". The origin of his name is one shrouded in confusion, but he is actually an advanced Science student in Graduate school.

Answer: Two guards and a leader per team; first team to kill other's leader wins.

Killing the entire other clan is a possibility, but there is always a leader and guards. There is rarely a time limit besides to maintain some interest, and there is never more than one leader at a time.

Answer: Divine Right

Divine Right was the original administrator of "Tactics Arena: Online". He was well-known, and pretty much led the entire site for the first few years. He left after being accused of illegal action, but few people know the true events behind this. Seed created the game, and currently runs the Legends server, but is not in charge of the FPS servers in any way, though his new creations often find their way here.
The Nothing and Blind Panda are both players whom are often the source of criticism and flaming, but (thank goodness) they were never administrators.
