 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 7:13 pm Post subject: Quiz Section Feedback and Suggestions |
 |
|
Hello all. Though some of you are already aware of the new quiz section, I wanted to make an official announcement of it and open a forum thread for any comments.
Moralanqua and I have been allowed the admin duties for this section, and we would both be most pleased to hear any suggestions or pointers for it.
I think our fledgling efforts were a little harder than we intended, so there will be new quizzes coming out over the next few weeks about movies, people, places, events, etc... subjects that are a little more specific. There is a tab to 'jump to category' and you can use that to see the groupings. We'll keep the quizzes separated into different groups to keep it neat and organized.
So, use this forum to fire away your comments and critiques, send a private message to Mora or I, or use the webmail link at the bottom of the quiz page. Hope everyone enjoys the new section.
Andreth/Anna |

That typo in "The Hobbit" quiz is still not fixed, although now, knowing it's a typo, I get a perfect score.

You're gonna have to steer me toward the typo because I thought I got it already. I'm slow, I didn't find the one you're talking about, I guess.  |

I took the quiz on the 3rd movie and when it showed which answers I got wrong it had changed at least 2 of my answers. Just thought you might want to know that.

The whole section is horribly addictive.
Can't find any problems myself. Well done you!

Yep, I sat down to take a few last night and forgot about dinner  The charred rice wasn't that bad, but soup is enedible when hardened

Hathy and BB seem to be the resident addicts! You get *hugs* for keeping us open
Any ideas of quizes you'd like to see up?

- Maybe a "Creatures of Darkness" quiz, pertaining to the characteristics of the evil guys.
- Spouse quiz, sort of a "Who's married to this person?" kind of thing. Or, with a twist, make it a "Who's related to whom?"
- Important places, like what happened where.
- (For the fanfiction fanatics) Common elvish phrases that you would hear in your average fanfic and what they mean.
- The Vala / Maia "Who's who?"
- Tales/Songs/Lays (definitely would be hard, but educational)
- The Rings of Power (not just the one) Their names/uses/bearers and so forth
- Horses: "Which horse belongs to whom?"
Just a few ideas from the obsessive-compulsive, hope that's helpful! I'll think of some more later

Moralanqua-It could have been me now that I've thought about it almost all day. I was in a rush, I could have pushed the wrong buttons for the 2 that I know for sure that were not what I wanted to pick. (Just so you guys do freak out or something on my account)

Hoping to contribute a quiz. Can you give me some guidelines?
Like, How many questions, on average? How many possible answers?
Thanks!

Legolaslover - Thank you for alerting me anyway. If it happens again, just give me or Andreth a shout and we'll investigate via Robbie.
BB - Great ideas! We will def use some for the next quiz update! 
Nancy - There must be 10 questions, 4 multichoice answers for each. If you do us one and send it in, we'll format it for you and put it up with a rating and credit to you. Mail it to me or Andreth.

Yay, new quizes! Nobody's going to eat well in my house for a while
More suggestions...Eventually you'll be sorry you asked
- A "Morgoth's Spotlight" kind of thing, centering on his deeds
- Tom Bombadil!
- Hobbits, but not Frodo, Sam, ect, I mean the Hobbits that didn't get a lot of attention. (Lobilia, Lotho and so forth)
- The journey of the Silmarils: That might be a little harder, seeing as how you'd have to take questions from almost the entire Silmarillion. But you could break it up into parts. Kind of a "who owned me then?"
- Fellowshiplings: The children of the fellowship (mostly hobbit, but Aragorn's as well)
