Beau Peep trivia challenge

[Bilthehut]

Oh Master of the Quiz.  That seems a perfectly logical, fair and downright good egg idea.   

Just one thought.  Does he read the forum and is aware of his responsibilities should he wish to maintain his incredible scoring on our quiz.  Or can you email him?

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Nope, can't email him, nor would I. All he is is a name and an IP address. If he's playing the quiz, then he's online. If he's online and he wants to be a part of this happy gang, he'll be looking in. If he's looking in, he can do what is required, or not. I'm not chasing a name.

I think Peter is Mince in the trivia challenge.

I don't know how sporting it would be to ban someone.

However, if you were going to ban someone, the first of the month would be ideal before they had too much invested in it [looks at Calendar - well lookie here it's the 1st of June]. Just saying.

I think it is very unsporting that we have a quiz player who seemingly isn't interested in being a part of the group that makes up the body of its contestants, and therefore is just a name that collects high scores. I admit that I'd be less concerned were Peter to be languishing at the bottom of the score list, but that isn't for my own sake, since it's been a long time since I was anywhere near the top. I just think that the ambience of the quiz is made by the fact we all know a little of each other through this forum.

However, I don't want to be an out and out meanie, so here's what I'm gonna do. Peter has the rest of this calendar month in which to sign up to this forum (indications are that this Peter isn't even a member here) with the same IP address as he uses for the quiz (i.e. - he uses the same computer - imposter Peter's will not be accepted), and to post at least a couple of messages on the boards to announce his arrival, and intention to 'belong'. If he does this, he stays in the quiz. If he doesn't, he goes.

Fair enough?

Oozing fairness and logic like that, you would soon make Senator at the World Council should you decide to join Nation States.

Well said, Tarks!

[Diamond Lil]

yup

[lucy]

After yesterday pathetic score. I'm declaring myself today's winner! Sorry Peter whoever you are, 10 questions in 36 seconds

[Jack]

I'm fed up with all the quiz questions being based around American trivia.

Bloody Americans and their posting quizzes on an America-based quiz site.

[Bilthehut]

Ditto!

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Never let it be said we at the Beau Peep Quiz don't listen to the concerns of our highly valued players. And so, just for Jack and Bill, the next two days' worth of quiz have been reset to be made up of questions about Australia.

You're welcome. 

[Jack]

Mutter mutter grumble etc.

[Malc]

Great. What I know about Australia could be written on a fly's balls and I LIVE here.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

No pleasing some folks - what a bunch of whinging Poms!

Thank you!  What about the rest of the world, one country at a time?

[lucy]

Bring back the American based trivia!! or rest of the world at least!! Even Malc whose in Oz didn't do well 

[Jack]

Well, it certainly made for a refreshing change from trying to compete with all the high scores.

I'd be in favour of Tarks picking obscure random categories every few days. It'd mix things up a bit.
