Everyone is of course free to participate, and you can join in at any time (although, of course, any days you've missed are days you can't score points). There's no need to ask whether or not you can join, just jump right on in!

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1143757-el-stormos-game-quiz-year-two-day-four/page__view__findpost__p__16720351

The rules are simple

DO

- send me your answers VIA PM, I'll evaluate them and send you your score, and which ones you got right. Keep that to yourself, of course.
- join in whenever you feel like it
- comment in the thread as long as it doesn't give hints, spell out answers, or otherwise reveals what the answers to the questions might be, however vaguely
- send me question suggestions. I can't guarantee I'll use them, but I definitely will if they're good ones
- ask questions not pertaining to the quiz questions

DO NOT

- answer in the thread. I can't stress this enough. It ruins it for everyone
- Google answers. I try to make my questions not that easy to google, but of course, you can if you want to cheat. There's no money to be won with this, so it's just a bit of fun - play fair, don't googuru.
- complain in the thread. Send me a PM if you have concerns
- whine about this or that game not being included. I'm doing these purely from my own mind (so every question is solvable)

After the questions have been posted, they'll stay on for at least 24 hours, after which I'll announce the scores, give out the correct answers, and post the new questions. Scores carry over from round to round!


DAY FIVE – FUN WITH LISTS

PEOPLE OF THE BETHESDA FORUMS, DO NOT REPLY TO A PRIVATE CONVERSATION STARTED ON THE DAYS BEFORE, ALWAYS SEND A FRESH PM - I have to delete convos so my inbox doesn't get full, and if you reply to a convo I've deleted, I don't get your PM.

DAY 5 – Fun with lists. When you answer, be specific. Asnwers like, “they all have an -a- in their name”, or “they all appeared in video games” get zero points. Read the questions carefully, some are about connections between characters, others are about finding the odd one out.

I got number 14 right yesterday? What game was that anyway? I can't remember where I learned it, but it wasn't from the game itself.

I like the one today though. Educated guesses ahoy!

Oh Jeez. I...I don't know any of these for certain O.o I need to play more games apparently haha.

Thanks for encouraging the habit, Stormrider!

14 was from Dragon Age, Sandal the psychopathic dwarf has it as catchphrase.


PLAY MORE GAMES!


Also, 3 has nothing to do with developers or publishers (rumblyguts, you get to answer that one again)

Guessed on most of these.

Guessed on all of these.

We'll see if you guessed right

Good round, Nami88, lot of points for such a difficult one.

But all y'all, for the 'odd one out' questions, tell me why before you get the points!

Thanks.

Maybe you could specify more clearly on the questions where it's required to say "why" in the future?

Yeah I forgot to add that, it's fixed now though

Well, fantastic. I might, might, be able to even guess at one of them.

True, this round is pretty hard, but there's people scoring very respectably, so it's not THAT difficult.

Oh damn I think I just realized the answer to one I got wrong. I'm an idiot... :facepalm:

Sent in answers but I'm not sure if it went or not. Got an error message.

I allow retries



Nope, got nuthin'.

I don't know any of these names.

By the way, why were yesterday's questions only worth 0.5 points each?

Because there was 20 easy questions, rather than 10 difficult ones.

I think I did better than I initially thought I would. It was a lot of educated guessing based on the characters I did know. Hope I'm not too far off.

I know parts of a almost all of these questions, but I'm not familiar enough with all these characters to answer. Suppose I'll sit this one out.

This day wasn't bad. For most of these, if you're familiar with at least two of the characters, you have a good chance at guessing. I was able to put an answer down for each question, rather than draw complete blanks. Let's see if I can finally break Silverbolt's lead!

I like this round the most so far. Really tests your understanding of the characters, without being limited to only a few games you may or may not have played. Figuring out the commonalities was quite a head-scratcher...

To all the people who complain that it's too hard, some people are scoring 6'es and 7's, so it can't be that hard. Plus, everyone gets the same questions, so if it's too hard, then it's just as hard for everyone else

And Xetirox, Silv's gonna have to eat a lot of sandwiches to top your score this round

Unless you have precognition and we all did very poorly today, I think that may be incorrect.

I thought I had it with porcelain. Oh well, must have gotten bad guesses with the rest of the fears. One point.

I only know one for sure and 2 are BIIIG maybes. Dang this was a lot harder then I though. I'm gonna bail.

I have played a lot of games though. Probably over five hundred but I have only completed 10 or so.
