Ladies and Gentlemen, Remarkably, I have fluked my way to an RSQ win, so here is your new RSQ.

Using Google is not allowed. You must pass two questions and will receive 0 points for those two questions. PM your answers to me by 10am Mon 8th October. The reveal will take place at 7pm the same day. 1) Name a member of the commonly referred to 'big 5' when on safari in Africa 2) Name a male winner of one of the 4 tennis majors from 2000 onwards 3) Name a Beatles Album 4) Name a quadrilateral 5) Name a snooker player to have made a 147 break at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield 6) Name a British monarch known as George 7) Name a country visited by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman on their 'Long Way Down' from John O'Groats to Cape Town 8.

Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: ruud on October 07, 2012, 01:53:21 PM A question for the experienced RSQ quizmasters amongst us.....
what is the standard action if someone doesn't use their passes? Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Laxie on October 07, 2012, 02:06:31 PM Send them a pm asking them to pick one to pass. If they don't reply before cut off time, one of their answers becomes a fail...usually first or last question, but you're in charge.
If they're cheeky and attempt to pass on two, take the first pass as good and fail the second. Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Tal on October 07, 2012, 02:21:48 PM OK. In.
Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Cf on October 07, 2012, 03:24:55 PM Send them a pm asking them to pick one to pass. If they don't reply before cut off time, one of their answers becomes a fail...usually first or last question, but you're in charge. I think this is a nonsensical rule. Don't see why the passes aren't optional. There is no benefit to the player to not use them apart from setting themselves a challenge. There's no need to fail an answer as they'll be scoring points they wouldn't otherwise have scored anyway.

In 1998, Cuba announced that it would replace the US$ with the euro as its official currency for the purposes of international trading. On 1 December 2002, North Korea did the same. (Its internal currency, the wŏn, is not convertible and thus cannot be used to purchase foreign goods. The euro also enjoys popularity domestically, especially among elites and resident foreigners.) Syria followed suit in 2006. In 2000, President of Iraq Saddam Hussein began the sale of his country's oil denominated in euros rather than dollars since the majority of Iraqi oil trade was with the EU, India and China rather than the United States. Several other oil producing countries stated they would follow suit but when Iraq was invaded in 2003, the new US interim administration immediately switched all sales of oil back to the US dollar. Since then, Iran has maintained its policy of demanding euros from the sale of oil towards Europe and Asia, and plans to set up an oil exchange denominated in euro.

Others possess rugged towering mountain-ranges like the islands of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Dominica, Montserrat, Saba, Saint Kitts, Saint Lucia, Saint Thomas, Saint John, Tortola, Grenada, Saint Vincent, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Trinidad & Tobago.

Question is ambiguous but tries to disallow answers that don't fit in to what he wanted to ask. you are so miserable and precious about this whole RSQ endeavour aren't you?! I'm sorry, I luckboxed the second one I entered. Those two both had this format so I followed it. I got a couple of bits of wording wrong. It was pretty obvious what I meant to ask. Again, sorry, but I tried. What's up with my answer then? Why's it a fail? cos it's a constituent country..... yep, just like England and Scotland. But you're miserable, so you get a FAIL. QM's prerogative Why bother with objections and any of the hassle if you're going to answer correct answers as incorrect? Just mark them randomly and the reveal could be over in ten minutes. you're right, if I accept England and Scotland, I must accept your answer. You and Tal get 2 points each. Should have stuck to my guns earlier. But seriously, try a smile. We don't all know ALL the customs of RSQ. Some of us haven't been around as long as others. Sorry, was only having fun. It's traditional in the RSQ to abuse the QM. Will lay off now. At least your questions were decent.

Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Cf on October 08, 2012, 11:20:24 PM Good quiz :)
Had the potential to be a strict and fair QM but caved under the pressure for the countries. Never mind though, makes it a bit more unpredictable :) Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Tal on October 08, 2012, 11:20:53 PM OK. Well done, DMorgan and thanks, ruud.

Never mind though, makes it a bit more unpredictable :) Was a fair and perfectly valid objection!!! England, and to a lesser extent Scotland are indeed countries ;) Good Job QM Run worse DMorgan :) Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Cf on October 08, 2012, 11:25:15 PM If DMorgan is agreeable I have a quiz I would like to run.
It's not an RSQ but it's a similar idea. Similar to how Tighty ran a pointless quiz, but the format of mine is going to be slightly different. Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: DMorgan on October 08, 2012, 11:55:21 PM Siiiiigh, will post my RSQ tonight
Cf, I'm prepared to cut a deal. If you win, you can post your quiz ;) Thanks for running this one Ruud Title: Re: RSQ - A Ruud Awakening Post by: Cf on October 08, 2012, 11:57:16 PM Siiiiigh, will post my RSQ tonight Cf, I'm prepared to cut a deal. If you win, you can post your quiz ;) Thanks for running this one Ruud No prob. Need a few days to sort mine out anyway. Will put it up the next week though I think. No reason it can't run alongside an RSQ as it's not really the same thing. |
