Nintendorks Trivia Challenge


Acalis

Recommended Posts

man, thats rough...if i get penalized for wrong answers, im only gonna wanna anser the few i know 100%...

It's to encourage further participation. Don't want people to get put off by further competing because they feel like they can't catch up to the leaders. Like 2track said in his earlier post, he was having a good time till he got "DoJ-ed". So I hope to minimize that kind of thinking.

Hey Bishop, I was thinking, how would you like to RUN the Nintendorks Trivia Challenge yourself? You will be in complete control of questions, and tallying scores. It's not hard and I can show you how to do it (if you don't already know how). This way I can solely focus on the Crap Shack challenge, AND I can actually participate in this and test my game knowledge! Would you be interested? :king:

I had no doubts that I wouldn't win as I don't know that much about games. I was just taking part to support the thread. The only reason I dropped out was when DoJ started getting everything right. The one that really got me was...

 

**********BONUS QUESTION**********

 

Q: What NES game was given away for free as an incentive to subcribe to

Nintendo Power magazine?

 

Dragon Warrior

 

And not wanting to start another argument here buuuuttttt.....

Did you just get the question right about a free-give away with a magazine subscription when

 

a) You were only 5 years old

 

and

 

b) It wasn't available in Ireland?

Sure, no prob, just give me some time to formulate some questions.

Don't forget, one of the features I added to the challenge was to let people submit their own questions. This gives them a chance to score some free points, and it really helps you out especially if you're stumped on what questions to ask. I had some really good ones from yourself, Lycaon, 2t, DoJ, and several others. Just a thought.

Uh...I may not be the first to say this is all ridiculously hard....I have no idea. Was it also called Guevarra?

I feel ashamed at the total guesswork much of this was.

Guerilla War

 

Ok score so far is:

The NZA: 6 points

Lottie: 2 Points

DoJ: 14 points

 

I have to say I'm amazed DoJ knew the Bonus Question, that gives him a good early lead. ROund 2 is coming soon.

Fuck, I didn't realize this had started up again. Can't say I knew any of the answers but the last time I was doing okay considering.

Lest we forget...
