Ok, I've tried this at other forums and people seemed to like it so I'll try it here as well...
First off, make sure you read all the rules because I WIL take points away if you do something wrong. Second, if you don�t like the rules to the quiz I have two words for you, bite me.
Moving swiftly on, the way it works is I ask 3 questions when I update the quiz and some will have bonuses. The first person to answer the question gets the number of points I say the question is worth. USUALLY they are worth 1 point, however I will go up to 3 if I feel it is worth that much. Now, to keep it fair you can only try to answer ONE question at a time. If you try and answer more than one I will only accept the first answer given (if it is right or wrong) and for each additional question you try and answer you will loose a point. Once you guess at a question you MUST wait until someone else has guessed at that question or another before you make another guess at any of the question. In other words, if you post more than once in a row or try and answer more than one question in a single post I am going to take points off.
Now, say I make an update and there are still questions from the last set open, what happens? Nothing, anyone can still guess at them. For example, questions 1 and 3 have been answered, but I make an update and question 2 is still left unanswered, question 2 is treated as if it is part of the update. Also, I have some questions that more than one person may answer. For an example, there could be 7 possible right answer and I say give me 3. Two people may answer this question given they list 3 DIFFERENT answers. Unanswered questions will be listed at the bottom of each update along with partially answered questions with the answers that have already been used. I may have a lot of rules, but I don�t do a half assed job of this.
Bonuses work like this; I ask a question and at the end of it I will say it has a bonus. The bonus is worth anywhere from 1-3 points, like normal questions. The only difference is that the bonus can only be guessed on IF I have confirmed that the question it belongs to has been answered correctly. The person who has answered the bonus then has first shot at the bonus. However, they only get one guess before anyone has a chance to answer it and receive the points. A bonus CAN be guessed at in the same post as a guess for another question IF it is made by the person who got the original question right and it has not been opened to everyone yet. A bonus can also be opened to the public if the person who got the original question right has not attempted the bonus question BEFORE the update and AFTER I have told them they may guess at the bonus. In other words, you answer a question with a bonus correctly and you get a chance at answering the bonus question, but not until I make an update saying it is ok to guess at it. If you guess and get it wrong, or you don�t guess before the next update it becomes open to everyone. Once a bonus is open to everyone it becomes just like any other question and can no longer be guessed at with another question.
Deductions:
Guessing at more than one question per post: -1 per additional question
Making multiple posts to guess at more than one question: -2 per additional post
Guessing at a bonus before you answer the actually question and I confirm you are right: -1
Guessing the answer to a bonus of a question you did not answer and that has not been opened to the public: -1
Questioning my judgment: Whatever I see fit, bitch!
One final note, if you have a problem with an answer I accept or feel I didn�t accept a right answer that you said PM me and tell me why, don�t whine like a prick in the thread. If I find I did something wrong I will change it on the next update. The quiz standings will be posted with each update so you won�t have to remember what your score is.
Change in Rules: It isn't really a change, just something I left out and just noticed. If I offer a question that more than one person can answer and you give a correct answer you CAN'T give another possible answer for that question later on.
Ok, with that said:
1) Name the two brothers that star in the Double Dragon series of video games: 1 point
2) Who is the FINAL boss of FFIX? 1 point
3) Name one of the songs that plan in the background of races in Rock �n Roll Racing for the SNES: 1 points -- Bonus of 2 points: Name 2 of the playable characters.
