No...I get you, Viri...

Really, I do.

But....the Admins are just..."Overseers".....guards of the inmates...

It's up to the Warden (Game Developers) to "allow some trustees to mind the store."

In other words...yelling at them doesn't help.

"Who or what won the first Nobel Prize for peace?"

The Correct Answer is indeed correct.

But I (in haste) chose the International Red Cross

Why?

Because Jean Henry Dunant also shared the first Nobel Peace Prize with the Correct Answer.
Dunart was awarded it for....founding the the International Red Cross.


So....that needs to be fixed.

Because a question with 2 Correct answers as choices is flawed.

(Yes, I ommitted what the Correct Answer is because of the Quiz Olympics.)

I agree with Gemini....

Getting upset over these things I can understand...

But, it does no good ranting about how angry you are.

It's the players...in the end, that "make a game."

Without us, it would fail.
Time, good intentions and supporting others ideas are a few things needed in order for aspects of the game to be changed....

Creating angry posts is not an ideal way of speeding things along.

What country does not share a common borderline with Finland?
(I really need to start copying these...)

Russia
Norway
Sweden
Estonia <------ Listed as "Correct"

Ok...they are separeted by the Gulf of Finland.

Which, is a bordeline like any other body of water.
(the Rio Grande seperates Texas from Mexico)

I had a "brainfart" from another section....
so I will just copy and post the relevant parts here as well; in case it gets drowned out there.

In reference to those that evaluate the quiz questions that are submitted by the players.
(This is not a "gripe and moan", though after reading it, I can see how some might think that it was.)



Also, have it so that they could not revue their own personal questions that they themselves submitted.

I think I may have seen this idea mentioned once before, but I do not believe anything came about becuase of it.

A part of me agrees completely...

Another part thinks:

Yes this is an English server, but not all native English speakers are from..... The United States.
Ok, now that that has been defended;
Let's jump back.

Whomever "Evaluates" these questions on the English server should change his/her/their evaluation methods.

If the question can be easily answerd by using the first page results of Google, Yahoo Search, or....(am I really going to type this?)
Bing

Then the Question should be allowed.

Better yet.
How about appointing select active players from W1 and W2 to a "Quiz Evaluation Committee"?

Hold a test for members who would like to be a part of this committee to take; which require them to investigate the answers.
If they pass and are still active a certain amount of time after taking this test.... they are allowed access to a database of the submitted questions to revue.

Inactivity of said players that have been appointed, or those that fail at doing the research once they have been appointed (aka: their JOB), are ejected from The Committee.


That is my "two cents" on the matter.

This is a function retrieval error for the capcha in the php database.

I can only assume that the issue will be resolved once a developer is notified.

Opsec,
I am glad I looked to see if anyone else felt the same way about the color scheme.

That is really my only gripe....

Once the yellow begins to cover the blue numbers, the numbers are hard to read.

Perhaps white instead of blue numbers?

Or... tone down the yellow itself to a darker contrast.

As for the speed of the game pertaining lag....
I have none, and this computer is known for being laggy.

I have played on Firefox, I.E. 8, and Opera...
Every time a decent refresh rate.


Wako, have you confirmed your registration through an email that should have been sent to the email address you provided?

It depends...
The same can be asked about "Higher Deities"

It doesn't matter if an Aura is a myth or not... the definition for an Aura (in this sense) is still "energy that surrounds the body"

Just as a Unicorn is considered a myth, and yet I am sure you could descibe what one looks like.

Twink,
After reading others past posts, the only thing I can assume, is that they are taking "Movies Worldwide" as being "misspelled".

Try with these being non-capitalized instead.

Dak asked me earlier...and until now, I had always received XP.

But, considering the amount of soul energy I looted, I am not complaining.

This person was also at 80% SE when I attacked, and was my original theory of why Dak recived 0 XP.

Edit:
Which Miklos just confirmed. Thanks, Miklos.

I know that Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System.

Perhaps you should change warmest to hottest?

Warm implies a comfortable temperature, and thus may have been the cause of rejection.

I just had a question, sorry, I didn't copy it.
If I remember right it asked:
What vessel takes deoxygenated blood to the heart?

And had one example in the question which I do not remember, and the "correct" answer is Pulmonary Vein

But, this is incorrect.
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.

It is a common misconception that all veins carry de-oxygenated blood.

In fact the correct answer to the question is either superior vena cava or the inferior vena cava.

Neither of which was listed.
