All good here. I have hot chocolate, a blanket, a hot water bottle and you guys!

How about yourself?

Tea at work, all pretty calm for now thankfully, usual bits and bobs all. Reading a few articles I saved during week later.

I'm playing X-Com Long War, long being the operative word, I foresee 40 hours of play on this run through.

Stereo, I'm on my phone with piss poor signal so can't take part I'm afraid.. I am going to stare at my work list for a little while instead.

Bit late responding Grem my lap top is almost as fast as dial up
(a bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone :pac:)

I might do a similar type of quiz later on this year, it was a bit of fun even if there was only 1.33 competitors that took part

Just realised what I wrote, didn't mean the poor signal you had was an exaggeration

Welcome back Atc, Shim and Stereo..

Stereo my phone is just not up to keeping up to boards with the signal here and the fact that my phone is getting tired.

:pac:

Sorry about that post I'd only realised what I wrote which was about the speed of my lap top and thought I better edit that post in case it was misinterpreted and as a result I probably made it worse

thanks grem

Gonna turn in. Night

Night Hugo.

Hi all.

stereomatic

Hi ya Paws, atc and Hugo

What's this about turning in, the nights only begun

Gremlinertia

Night Hugo mon, sleep well and long..

Stereo, no insult taken, all is well.. Didn't know live quizzes ran. If I'm home for one I might look in..

Shiminay

I tried looking at your quiz earlier Stereo, I had literally no idea what was going on. How on earth is it supposed to work?

stereomatic

I don't think live quizes were tried before so I thought I'd try it and see what would happen using the thank thank function for true or false questions and the poll function for multiple choice questions

Shiminay

ah. My suggestion would be separate thread for every question. Makes everything clear and leaves no room for mistakes and misunderstandings. The Thanks for True is a solid idea though, that works. Just get everyone who's playing to post "Answered" or something on the thread to register that they've answered - even if you're doing that, you don't need True for Thanks. Next time you wanna run one hit up my work account, I can give you your own forum and let you mod it so you can have greater control over it

Gremlinertia

Oh I just thought it'd be done using the pm system..

I was trying to use all the various options available for this quiz and had originally intended for 4 rounds to exist. I don't think I explained myself well on the thread especially for the 3rd round that didn't happen

Would anybody like to the 3rd round here

That was the 4th and final round

I was thinking of a number of ideas for a quiz that hadn't been tried yet to see how it would work out and to see if I were to do another similar quiz how it could be improved

Gremlinertia

Ah I see. Must be a little tricky running it.. Fair play to ya as plenty around here would probably like that..

Shiminay

The great thing at the moment stereo is that we're only a few short weeks away from being free of the bullsht that is VBulletin as our platform and we will be able to build things like quizzes if I can make a business case for them and show that it could be something we can drive engagement with - so not only this sort of thing you're running, but competitions on the site, raffles for prizes from the Talk To forums etc, all that can be incorporated into a "quiz" project. I may get a hold of you to spec something out for the future

stereomatic

I like the idea of my own personal fiefdom ahem I mean my own forum :pac:

stereomatic

I thought re-edits were meant to quote the reason for re-editing I wrote down for the re-edit "forgot to add pacman"

stereomatic

Gonna hit the sack, catch ye later

Shiminay

NN Stereo.

I'm just after stopping an alien rampage across South Africa, it was unpleasant. My Rocket Launcher equipped soldier was brought back from the dead by my Medic and will be out of action for 38 days! :eek:
