what game won video game of the year in 2009?

Assassin’s Creed II
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Left 4 Dead 2
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge.

just what the hell does uninteresting lexical knowledge mean and who the hell are these evaluators to say it's uninteresting?...no where in the quiz rules did I find anything stating that a question has to be "interesting"

It's not interesting to the moderators, therefore you're screwed. The Mods only seem to like Geography, some Sciences and Literature.

THAT SAID - "Game of the Year" is a difficult discussion as there are 35000 different magazines and websites (give or take), any-or-all of whom could select a different title. If you asked "Which was PC Gamer's 2009 Game of the Year", it would still be uninteresting and lexical to the only people who seem to matter (and in case I'm not being clear, it's obviously the players that don't matter), but the question would be a lot more accurate.

I really wish that either ONE Evaluator did the evaluating or they all got together and set a solid decisive set of rules on what is and is not an acceptable question, because I just got this

How many movies, worldwide, have been made based on the Holy Bible?

162
287
45
1875

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.

From them, when I just resubmited it, since the first time it was submited it was rejected due to a spelling error, which indicates that it was an acceptable question to the person who looked at it that time.

Expecially when the question "In the Bible, who killed Abel" was considered an acceptable question, one which I have answered several times.

To me it seems like the evaluators are just not all together on what they find acceptable, considering my question has a much broader source (Movies based on the Bible), where as the accepted question has a much more limited source (A single section of the bible).

No, this is just a bad question. If I shoot a movie in my basement, does that count? What if I make a DVD of it and give it to a video store? And how do you define "based on the bible"? Any film where a character goes "God damn it!" or "Jesus Christ!" has a biblical element. Beyond that - worldwide? You know what's going on in some film studio in Nowhereville, North Korea? Lastly, this non-confirmable number is constantly changing, meaning the question is possibly obsolete the day it's approved.

And very lastly - in an international game, let's keep religion out of it completely - things are always more harmonious with less religion involved, not more.

My irritation isn't so much at the fact that it was rejected, but that the question that gave me the idea for that question, was approved and it is much more specific yet mine is considered something that only a "Special Group of people would know the answer".

I'm only really irritaded that they're not being consistant on what is and is not allowed as a question. Hell I know it's specific knowledge, I had to fuckin look it up myself.

That would probably be rejected for the same reason.

It would not confuse things to change it into a question. I have seen several of them myself. The latest one I remember was: Which city has the NFL team "Colts"?

If you don't want the advice on how to get your questions accepted, why bother to post? Many of the players around here want to see you get your SE reward. We want to see the database get better. We are trying to help.

Hey Gemeni, guess what:

Your last question
Scientist - Albert ______?

Glickstein
Rhinestein
Einstein
Jacobstein

1 good and 0 bad answers have arrived for this question.

In other words, I just proved my case. The Quiz Admins are racist ass holes.

Re post the question, i feel if another evaluator gets it will pass, its certainly a very interesting quetion. Especially for a game site. Do not give up

But watch the language, no need for that, even at your justified level of frustration

Perhaps people would be more inclined to watch their language if it appeared that the game admins were interested in what people were saying.

As far as they demonstrated up to now, they are interested. Do not misunderstand their lack of posts as not caring. They usually read and apply things without informing about it, especially when questions are involved. If a player is right, they correct it, I have seen many examples of questions at the quiz changing after posts from players without an admin saying: ""We will change that""

After all, good manners and language are not a matter of someone else. Its up to each of us to keep it civil. And as i said to Thucydides, that includes the time we are angry because they did something wrong, being right doesnt justify being rude. The most it can achieve is for the admins to focus on the bad language than on the problem at hand.

Please note that our program has a built-in bad word filter. It is possible that you write a question, but the bad word filter doesn't allow it to be submitted. Find the omitted word, and replace it.)

Time and time again, In the hunt,questions have had mispelled words, maybe it time for a new filter.

Which of the following sets of words are antonyms?

close/open
close/clothes
close/shut
close/toes

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Your answers are ambiguous or wrong to this question.

Antonyms are words that are opposites. The opposite of close is open. I open the door. I close the door. I do not understand why this is amgiguous or wrong.

The response i got to my inquiry was "delete" Now I am more confused.

my question was

which well known game series has a green diamond as it's symbol

Sims
Call of Duty
The Elder Scrolls
Guitar hero

How would that be unknown to anyone who has been in a video game store, because in every single one I've been in there's been a sims game or expansion pack floating around
