Iws Xxxvi Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Oncle Boris won the last one, but was so impressed by my quiz-making skills that he asked me to do a reprise.

Please submit your answers via PM.

quote:
All answers are allowed. However, scoring is not based on what the "correct" answer is . It is based on how many other participants choose the same answer. So, for example, if I ask what fruit is the greatest, and 17 people say "banana," each person who answered "banana" will get 17 points for that question. If someone says "mango," and they're the only one, they will get 1 point for that question.

However, the answer doesn't have to even fit the criteria. If two people answer "42" when asked what fruit is the greatest, they will still get two points for that question.

Your individual score will be the total of your scores for all questions.


0) George W. Bush + Zylka. Comments?

1) What poster is most likely a US government agent in disguise?

2) What poster is most likely a terrorist in disguise?

3) Are there communist diamonds buried in Tassadar's backyard?

4) Where did Fez bury the capitalist diamonds?

5) What's your favourite cartoon?

6) What's the worst popular 80s band?

7) What's the worst popular 90s band?

8) What does Apolyton really mean?

9) Why is Ming really mean?

10) Give a synonym for "mean".

11) If you were Starchild, what would you rather do than wear green bellbottoms, a sideways fedora, and a Chicago Bulls bikini?


This closes next Saturday at 3 PM because I have three big assignments due this week and can't really bother with stuff like this.

The problem with doing that, Ras, is that then other people can see your answers, be reminded of obvious things they missed, and copy your answers for a sure 2 points per question (especially nasty on "hard" questions with very flat distributions).

Posting your answers in public doesn't make it harder for you to win; it makes it easier, and generally skews the whole contest. Although of course the fact that St. Leo has imported his questions from Burmese sweatshops rather than producing patriotic Canadian-made ones skews the contest as well .

The game did start in the OT and most participants do reside there more then anywhere else.

Having said that, I too am somewhat bored/tired of the Zylka and "look-at-me" Fez questions

Exactly. Why should we care about an attention seeker and an obvious OT troller? Sorry to go on, but I just go so mad when I saw that this had migrated into "other games" then I was pleased because the questions seemed to have improved... but this is back to "club thread" style.

Tired of ads?

Jamski: Actually, I agree with you- some OTism, like bananas & Finland, are pretty accessible and all-encompassing. But others aren't.

That said, even if the questions are bad and club thready, posting the answers right here does mess things up.

Raz is the only one here who avoids the OT, and he could've made his complaint known in a different method. It was people here who asked for IWS to be included in the Other Games section, NOT the OTers.

You know there's a dual thread in the OT and the questions are the same, right?

Besides, there have been IWS quizzes that weren't so good before. I actually like these questions, in that they have no theme.

You could have made your point by posting "These questions sux0rz" or even making a complaint along the lines of your last few posts. Hell, the point would probably have been made much clearer if just that was posted.
