Title: Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on June 25, 2004, 11:21:42 pm
Hi guys, I'm looking for suggestions for my next quiz.  I need ideas for a topic and for a prize.  I'm only asking because I've heard so many people complain that I always ask questions about the military/history/aviation/cars/etc.  So, please list some ideas for topics and for what you would like the prize to be (please be realistic on the prize...I'm not going to be giving away any new G5s anytime soon!).

Thanks,

-GhostSniper Out.

1. Let me (previous winners) play.

I'm still undecided whether I let previous winners play or not.

2. Do it within the next 4 days.

It will be posted this weekend.

3. GameRanger Premium Subscription.

I have made this the prize quite a few times already, but it may end up being the prize again.

4. Make it easy.

Sorry, but it will not be easy.

How about a quiz on something very few people know about, but it's important to know? Make it educational! That'll deter only the most hardcore people lol. Plus, they'll learn something, yada yada. Maybe a quiz on survival skills or something. I dunno, up to you! But yeah, make it so winners can play again.  ;D After winning that $10 iTunes certificate (thanks, btw <3), I'm hungry for more!

Errr...Hmmmm.... since we're a gaming community, why not just do a Mac Gaming History quiz.

He hasn't been around long enough to make that a challenging quiz to most of the people currently around. Unfortunately, there are not many things you can make a quiz on that cannot be found in 30 secs via google.

On that note, it needs to be based off of something obscure, something like say olympic sports at the NCAA level that nearly no one follows.

I can second that but more importantly.... AHHHH! Assassin! <hides>

***Snipe wheels Myst away in his wheelchair.



How about you make the quiz random trivia.

Like... totally random. No specific subject whatsoever.

well i was gonna do it myself, but i figured it wouldn't work because i have nothing to offer as a prize. anyway, i recommend doing this: talk to a clan leader on gameranger and get like 5 questions that only people who know the clan can answer (members can't participate). or make a quiz on the R6 or RS battle league. ya know, stuff that people would know, but can't be googled.

Ask questions about random sports, like Lacrosse.  w00t Lacrosse! Fuckin crazy ass game, watch the profesional Lacrosse games if you seriously want to shit yourself, some of the stuff that happens in there is beyond insane (like having someone taking a metal stick and beating your unprotected elbows as hard as they can)

And thats field, Box Lacrosse is like, hockey, except on concrete, and less rules, more breakage of bones. Otherwise theyre identical.  w00t w00t!

What are we talking about again?  ???

I like Brontos idea, make it like a searching game . . . having to ask the clans the questions about their clans (alright, I just confused myself) but I like Brontos idea most of all


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on June 26, 2004, 06:29:24 pm
Bronto, the only problem is GS hasn't been around long enough to know RS/R6 battles. Also, what about me, I've been in every clan at some point therefore know everything....

MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's actually a good idea. He could do a quiz like this...

Who won the NCAA title in the following sports:

1) Football
2) Men's Water Polo
3) Women's Water Polo
4) Women's Volleyball

Also, for a tiebreaker, we could followup with, "Who won the Lexus Gauntlet Trophy?"

You can easily search for stuff like that though.

my idea is google-safe


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...

Despite the fact it's Bronto who said it, he has the best so far.

Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on June 26, 2004, 11:08:10 pm
Okay, got plenty of ideas for the topic, but how about some more ideas for the prize.  Try to keep it around $50.


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: Civrock on June 26, 2004, 11:22:52 pm
what about $50 in cash?


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: BFG on June 27, 2004, 12:24:26 am
Don't new mac games cost about $50 ?

Yes, most mac games are about $50.  Also, Premium Membership on GameRanger is about $50.  I have given away both of those in the past, as well as: $50 in iTunes Gift Certificates and $50 in cash.  I was just wondering if anyone had a request for a different Prize.[/size]


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: Civrock on June 27, 2004, 12:47:44 am
maybe some mac hardware? like mouses and such...


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: BTs_Mysterio on June 27, 2004, 12:56:20 am
I must say the cash is a lot more tempting than the other stuff.


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...
Post by: crypt on June 27, 2004, 01:12:15 am
Make it the winners choice :D

I would LOVE to compete for a Glock or other firearm. Shit, even a little .22 plinking pistol would be nice.


Title: Re:Looking for Suggestions...

Perhaps the prize should be a life time premium payment plan! Needless to say that would be the for GS Super-Quiz.

Hah, Alaric, that'd be a lil too expensive. Hmm. Firearms you can get in the $50-75 range:
Mosin Nagant rifles. That's about all I can think of. They're awesome rifles, though. Historical, too. Any good military surplus store would have 'em. Buttt...it'd be hard to ship it legally. Anyhoo. I'd say mac games would be a good choice. Don't let the people pick though. That way if someone has a game already, they won't play, and it'll give other people chances to win stuff. Just my idea!
