Is Ethos the only way for you to get your opinion out? Insulting the person you don't agree with instead of the actions you don't agree with? Doesn't do it to be honest.Quote:

You blame others but not yourself, you cannot admit that you could be wrong thus I have no time for you. If you can't take feedback don't reply? Maybe if you listened to some of the stuff said you'd understand what we were getting at.Quote:

They probably gave it quick as @Alex3213; can type about 160 wpm? @RyRy; well it's Ryan so God knows how he got that quick though.Quote:

No, just seems you don't understand anything based on the fact you've done nothing but gone in circles throughout this thread, so instead of repeating those facts, *Removed*Quote:

Yes they might start drinking around 13+ but they're unlikely to know how to mix a cocktail or what colour that drink was.Quote:

no matter the host or the questions you guys will always find something to moan about it's so annoying
fact is none of you complain during the quiz until the end when u haven't won
if u really want her to improve tell her why instead of just telling her SHE'S **** or a crap host, stop acting like 10 years olds
not really, if the quiz is based on GK i don't recall seeing a thread regarding it lately?Quote:

because thats what the thread attempted to do for 6 pages and she failed to accept it, so the only solution is to say it how it is.
It was established that there would be a few questions surrounding the release of the new twilight movie at the start of the quiz and the majority seemed content with that. There was a little confusion on a question about casablanca with people asking why a question was asked on such an archaic movie when it was supposedly established that the questions would be to do with a recent movie but people got over that and got on with the quiz.
Since this is a feedback thread I'll be constructive. Nobody really deserves to have an event they've taken time to organise and host picked apart quite so ruthlessly.
Personally, I didn't understand the question on forrest gump as we were told "pronunciation doesnt matter" which I took to mean spelling/grammar, so was a little confused when told that 'run forest run' wasn't sufficient but meh, English isn't her first language so I'll just assume that she meant something else by pronunciation.
The cuba libre question was one that clearly nobody knew and, considering past questions on cocktails haven't gone down well either, should be something that you should avoid in future. The absinthe question was fair though... most people guess colour questions before reading anyway.
General layout wasn't great :(. As previously stated, telling people the theme of the next question isn't something that works well in SNQ because it just causes a flood of pretyped answers that, if wrong, mean that the user has to scroll up and actually read the question before they can answer again and, if correct, means some people that may not deserve the point would get it over those that should have.
Having topics is good, just don't tell people about their specifics, simply allow them to fall under the 'general knowledge' umbrella, then nobody can complain. Typically there have been a mixture of GK and habbo(x) questions in the SNQ so I was quite shocked to find that you'd ditched the habbo(x) category completely too. Four questions on one topic isn't too many and, if spread out, you could have gotten away with them being unrelated. One about an actor that virtually everyone has heard of, one about an author that very many will at least know of and two specifically about the specific characters - which, IMO, is acceptable.
In future spread the topics out, include more habbo and steer clear of the drink.
If anybody feels they have been wronged or thinks that they should have won then you're more than welcome to a month of VIP from my account.
Ah that explains it I thought she meant punctuation, due to the spelling be something like 'poncuation' so yeah. I agree there should be Habbo(x) questions as if not why do it on Habbo for Habbox?Quote:

You're essentially complaining that you didn't have a response for some of the questions, which is just as stupid in this case as it would be if there were 4 totally random questions that weren't topics you know about.
It might be bad planning to have 1/5 questions based on one very small theme but it is not biased or unfair. Suck it up.
weirdest definition of 'exciting' i've ever heard.Quote:
