Blog Entries: 1   |  Quiz Competition GO TO QUIZ SIGN UP THREAD TO ENTER http://www.40kterra.com/forums/f205/...n-up-5447.html Hello its me the, soon to be, resident Quiz Master. Hopefully we'll have a 40K Quiz on the go soon, with the success of the 1st one it would be silly not to do an expanded one to encompass our greatly increased member base  The details are still being ironed out but the basic layout will encompass the following: -1st Round open to anyone and consisting of 20 questions that aren't too taxing but at the same time may throw up a surprise for any potential 40K veterans. -2nd Round open to the top ____ people of the 1st Round (basically the number will be determined by how many people enter) and will consist of 20 Questions again but more difficult and/or obscure than the last round. -3rd Round as 2nd Round but with medium to hard questions that will tax even the most veteran of players In the event of a tie break in the 3rd round I will present 3 of the hardest questions to the people who have drawn and which ever one answers the most correctly will be declared the winner. The prizes will be a veritable horde of rep points, but those contestants who make it through to the 2nd & 3rd rounds will also receive a handful of rep points. Basically I'd like to know who'd be interested. I'll release further details on how exactly the Quiz will go about once I get an idea of numbers and such. Baron Spikey

| Re: Quiz Competition Well he's looking for at least 20 people to make it to round 2 so I'd say a minimum of 30 for round 1. Does that sound right Baron?

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Quiz Competition we're not going to start for a week or 2 to give every one a chance to join the competition. There's no upper limit to how many people can take part, basically when the 'special happy place' for the quiz is set up is roughly when the Quiz Round 1 will begin. The way things are looking now, the quiz will have its own sub-forum with a privacy setting so you can only see your own post. Each post will be a template of the questions, which you'll have to edit to include the answers- the catch being that you only have 30 minutes to edit before the post automatically locks itself. (or at least thats how I understand the process from what Ikarus told me).
