hxhd snq questions

[xxMATTGxx]

First, I don't think I'm wrong as even Kyle quoted what I said in the beginning of the quiz. And I was open to suggestions and made only 4 questions about it, which Managers didn't find too much.

Like I said before, why not make it a rule then? Or ask the SNQ host to send the questions to GM as well? That way like 5 people could have an opinion about it.

If we really have to make it a rule because people can't get their head around on how to do a quiz then I give up.

5 people shouldn't have to have an opinion about it, you should ensure it's fair and if you need to get someone to do that for you then why host? The quiz isn't ever going to be completely fair and go without a hitch but you should really know 4 questions on a film YOU enjoy isn't going to do it for those who don't I'd have rather had seen 4 about recent films or something than just one [film].

Like I said before, many people could have won and that's my definition in this case of fair. I believe Pyroka got one of them right, and others could even have used google, and they type fast. I believe it was fine, and like I also said before and I agree with Maria about this starting going into circles, is the fact that I agree with themed SNQs being made because people shouldn't need to have a high IQ or whatever to win SNQ.

@LiquidLuck.; media based: TV (2), Twilight (4), there could have been more - that's 6 out of 20 questions so for over 1/4 of the quiz you'd have to know some stuff. Also the questions didn't really relate to the theme; what does MTV stand for? That's not TV, that's acronyms.

Music Television is not Television? Oh, that's new. But whatever.

As it was proved tonight? At least one guy answered a question about Twilight, and he wasn't a fan. Oh now using the ethos technique, nice, show a lot. I don't think what I say is set in stone, as I didn't do an all themed SNQ about twilight. I got it down to 2 questions, and like I said, it gave everyone the opportunity to win. You know the way you say that spelling shouldn't count because we could just ''understand'' what someone meant? Well, in my point of view, this way, you don't had to be extremely knowledged about other facts (even if they pretty much were), and you could still have a chance to win. That's why I think themed SNQs will be fun and good to do, so other people can win, even if they aren't brilliant enough to know everything about GK.

Why are you being sexist? I love football, I'd probably get a lot of questions right about that and it doesn't matter if I'm a girl. I'm not saying it was biased against boys, it's biased to those who haven't seen it, or read the books; maybe some don't even know what Twilight is. I think it's a pointless saga but that's my opinion and it isn't wrong. Ethos technique? Do I look like I really care if I'm doing that on an ONLINE FANSITE?

You didn't do a whole SNQ themed on Twilight, the fact you wanted to shows how unfair a host you could have been; it would have been much, much worse then. You got it down to 4 questions, don't change your actions half way through. It didn't give people the opportunity to win, if someone had say 3 points and were currently leaders in the SNQ and they were an avid Twilight fan it would seem biased they won would it not? They knew other things but it wouldn't give everyone the opportunity to win as it didn't tonight. By the 16th question, those who didn't really care about Twilight and didn't have any points; there was no point them playing unless they're really good guessers. Also, why bring up the past, can't back up your arguement anymore? I asked a question about the quote, the quote was run Forrest run yet it's called Forest Gump I was asking why it wouldn't be allowed. Like I said, if you didn't have any points by time the Twilight part came up and nor were you a fan you were doomed.

ill reply to each reply as i see it as idk how much i can be bothered reading

The fun thing about this was that I can do tricky questions, and I know most pretyped names of artists, but I didn't ask that.
And Monet no one had it.
At the introduction I NEVER said all the questions would be about the movie, I stated it was 4 about it, and if people were paying attention, they knew it.
Also they were pretty easy, yes. Everyone has seen the name of the writer, actors around.

lol? are you stupid

if i've never took an interest in the book or the films, how the hell am i going to look up the author or each characters name IN the books or films...

No what I'm saying, a question saying what does MTV mean, that is not TV, yes it has TV in its name but it's acronyms not TV. If it was TV you could have said which media does MTV specialise in or something.

[scottish]

Far too many? Only 4. Knowledge of movies can be seen as GK as well. At least in this SNQ, it was tight and everyone could have won. I had like 4 people on the lead, and 4 others right behind. It made it exciting.

again, the top 3 people from GK etc based questions were male, none of them won because of your 4 questions at the end lol...

So themed SNQ will just be boring? You'll all have to get used to it.

Plan so they didn't win? How can I even do that? I tried to make it a way so everyone could have a chance to win. Themed SNQs will bring those chances up as well. Also yes, I've seen in SNQ's people just saying ''oh it's always this question'', so I tried to do something different with the Drinks topic for example. I took time to get those questions, different sites, not only quiz-themes sites, looking for different drinks I could ask about etc. It wasn't done today.

At the end of the non twilight based questions, the person with most correct answers had 3. Everyone could still have won. That's what I said before the 4 last questions started when I told everyone the leaderboard.

No it won't, it'll ensure the few other people who have the same obsession or whatever as you have a chance of winning, and those who done well in the 16 GK questions don't.

Make a rule about this then? Or ask the SNQ host to send the questions to GM as well to see if everyone agrees with them? Idk.

or just use common sense in future when making questions

LOL! I'm the one being sexiest?! Look at the first posts and you'll see what being sexist is. I also like football and I know guys (not gays) that enjoy Twilight. I'm not the one stereotyping. And you're the one continuing this debate that goes round and round, so I guess you do. Google ethos by the way, it's philosophy. And if you think this, then people could complain that questions about the US, are biased against people who aren't from the US, etc.

So according to you, all themed SNQs will have an unfair host? I asked if we could do a themed one tonight, and the answer I got was no, I took it. Also tell me when I changed my actions half way through, please? At the beginning of the quiz I said they were 4 about Twilight (check with Kyle if you want because he quoted it), so don't make up stuff now, please. Also funny thing how could I have changed 16 questions halfway through when I need to first get them checked by managers? And di I create them in what 5 seconds? I'd love to understand how you think I did that. Also it's my fault that many different people knew different questions so they didn't get more than 3 right each? Interesting.

About the bringing up the past thing, I didn't get it. And his name is Forrest, not Forest. That was why. And since in SNQ spelling counts, ''Run, Forrest, run'' is the correct answer.

Also let me know when you see someone with no points winning SNQ within the last 4 questions, even if everyone else has max 3.

[scottish]

I was not told it, no. You and Maria were talking about it, and we came to the conclusion a SNQ all about twilight wouldn't do it, because then only a true fan would win it. So when I PM'ed my questions to Rosy I told her I had 4 about Twilight, and nothing having anything against it, I hosted it. Also 4 questions about Twilight is nothing and they were just bothered because they didn't win, like it happens in every single SNQ. -.-

actually i don't attend almost every SNQ, so your logic is flawed.

Oh, so in themed SNQs if it's about idk chocolate bars (first thought in my head, don't take it literally) and you're allergic to chocolate, never ate one, you'll complain about that and make a feedback thread about it?

[dbgtz]

I think one of those Twilights could have passed for general knowledge. Anyway it was just too much on one topic which could ultimately mean someone on 0 points could have won which isn't really fair and many other topics could have been covered: video games, politics/current affairs, habbo(x), music etc. The whole point in this being a general knowledge quiz is that it means there is a chance for everyone to get points.

I'd also like to say that question about alcohol was a bit silly considering the target age group.
