Idézet: Thucydides - 2011.01.19. 00:27:07 Idézet: manunkind - 2011.01.13. 05:16:12 Thucydides, isn't the quote: "We have met the enemy, and he is us"?
google it.......it's not hard to find.
I was watching the History channel last night and they came out with this...
"Robin hood was the world's most famous outlaw"
so I made a question asking.."who was known as the world's most famous outlaw?"
told me it was ambiguous.............these evaluators are still a joke even after a year or so.
I get questions in the quiz that there is NO WAY THAT ANYONE OTHER THAN A SPOECIAL GROUP would know the answer...and yet they get accepted.
This quiz part of the game could be quite fun..but the evaluators are for shit...and they should just get rid of the damned quiz all together..it's obvious now, after a year and a half, that the evaluators or their question criteria isn't going to change.
First off - The Quiz is definitely the worst part about the game. It causes more problems and more pissed off players than any other portion of the game, by far. Standards vary to Evaluator to Evaluator, day to day. There isn't nearly enough maintenance to get rid of the crap, even after it's been pointed out.
THE QUIZ IS BAD
That said,
Thucydides - I think you're completely wrong here. Watching a show about Robin Hood that makes such a
firm statement about his popularity is only accurate to the people watching that show. There is no question about his popularity, but an unquantifiable "most" is impossible to prove.
It's like asking
Who is the most Evil person in history? Hitler springs immediately to mind, but he also started industrializing Germany to the superpower it is today. Stalin should certainly be viable for his crimes against his own people, yet he is simultaneously revered as a war hero. Pol Pot slaughtered millions in his drive to power and (failed) attempt to bring stability to a region that has never had any. Idi Amin and Milosovich for their ethnic cleansing in Africa and Yugoslavia. How about Genghis Khan, who burned villages, raped women, and forced prisoners to act as a human shield - in his drive to create the worlds largest civilized empire. And how can we not mention Bin Laden - a hero to some - but currently amongst the most despised men in the world.
There is no way to quantify ones feelings and experiences. To certain groups of people, ANY name from the above list could be "Most Evil" - therefore it is an impossible question to answer factually. Yours is no different.
