Just look at Killersquid's and Hymirl's results, can't be too hard if those two can do it. :)

That never happened, can you prove it by providing a link? :P

Hopefully some other staff will make a few quizzes, I got a couple of more lying around that I haven't finished yet but it would be great if others made some too.

Yeah, I don't know why Killersquid's Necron quiz hasn't been added yet, I think he made that one before I made any, it is quite a good quiz with a mixture of fluff and rules. Haven't seen Kindred's or GML's yet though.

I'll be submitting a quiz at some point, when I emerge from beneath piles of papers, and various project editing duties.  It won't be about 40K though, so assuming quizzes can be added to the existing categories, I think that I have a suitable geography quiz in mind.

I guessed half of them.


Also, I was told the Necron Quiz had some issue with it, and I'm not motivated to find out what's wrong/ to fix it.

Hmmmm. I tried it and it seemed to work okay. Can't be any buggier than some of the others out there.

Hmmm I think I might do a quiz up regarding the Dark Angels...
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.

nah.... I just forgot that the round switches on Tuesdays.... however, as I said, the choice of questions is random. As we get more 40K quizes, I expect more 40k questions to make it into the league...

Hopefully not that that extent again. We have a whole lot of quizzes and not that many 40K ones for such a bias to sneak in.  :)

Alright, so how does it get enabled then?

I have no idea...

I suspect formidable powers such as those Rasmus and Kindred possess are required. Such powers that feeble minds such as ours may not comprehend without having one of those wee headaches that lead to not being able to use half your body ever again.

I'd rather not deal with such unpleasantness as that. It seems Kindred is not infrequent to this thread, so perhaps he'll stop by and figure this out.

ok...   I suppose I should post some guidelines about creating quizzes...

1- If posting a 40k related quiz, please include book and page number references to back up the answer. (similarly to how Benis did the stats quiz answers)
Fluff questions/answers do not need a specific page (although it might be helpful) but should indicate the source material so that a) we are referencing GW materials appropriately, b) people can look up the answers if they are interested and c), if someone has a dispute with an answer, we can point them to the correct location.

2- Try to select an appropriate image form the list of existing images.  If an appropriate image is not in the list, then upload one to the icons section of the gallery, let me know, and I'll update it.

3- you will notice that we do not have a section set aside for religion or politics quizzes... factual quizzes are acceptable, opinion quizzes are not. Consider this your obvious and only warning.

One for Hell and two for Necrons (second one was yesterday to see if it was bugged). Being a long time reader of Sandman and Lucifer, your Hell quiz wasn't too challenging.  ;)

The power of comic book education. Given that the system currently allows everyone to access quizzes before they have even been put up for review I guess it will be inevitable that some will have had a few go at the quizzes before they become enabled. And it was more the fact that you scored top marks on both mine and Killersquid's quizzes, both of which have been available to test for a couple of weeks now.

I reported some parts which I thought was errors (9 times 5 does not equal 30...) in GML's quiz and is it possible to make it so that you can actually see the original question when disputing errors so that you can be sure that you didn't simply misunderstand the question? I guess probably not but it would be a good function.

My performance on the Dark Angels one should put to rest the idea that we practice through quizzes.  :) One run through is about it to make sure they work correctly and format properly.
