Team 2: What makes it strange to see Rayman eating in the intro of Rayman Origins?

Is it the fruits themselves that he's eating?

[Ambidextroid]

I also don’t understand our question, but I’m guessing we’re looking for a canonical link to the real world like in the Rabbids games. I’m not sure which of them are considered canon though...

Aaron, I'm glad to see you're keen on participating, but please bear the rules in mind:

• There will be team captains to co-ordinate teams, they will submit the final answers by quoting the quizmaster (to send notification) and highlighting the answer given (red and in bold).
• In the event that a team captain is unavailable, a team member can submit an answer on their behalf in the same manner.
• Should a team member answer a question against the wishes of the team's captains, the team member will be barred from participating for the next two questions.
• Answers should be submitted by quoting the question, this will allow for the quizmaster to be notified
• ONLY ONE ANSWER will be accepted, any attempts to answer or edit the given answer thereafter will cause the team to be penalised.

You've already submitted once without consulting myself or CHRdutch. I'm not sure if you're submitting in this case or just quoting for the sake of discussion, but I'm giving this reminder just to be sure. Ray502 was pretty generous with the last question, as he could have easily penalised you for answering without the captain's consent. I'm OK for folks to answer if the deadline is approaching and I'm not around, but if it's not the case please try to discuss your ideas with the rest of the team. This is meant to be a team based version of the game and the questions are more difficult to encourage teams to discuss and think on their answer.

As for your question, I don't recall there being anything particularly special about the fruits he was eating, I guess we could say that it's a bit odd that they never seem to deplete in number?

[Aaron]

What does "to send notification" mean? Does it mean that I have to PM you or CHRdutch?

[Master]

Whenever you quote someone's post, it sends a notification to the person you quoted. That's why the quote rule was brought in, so that the Quizmaster is made aware of your submitted answer.

[Aaron]

But I just did that!

[Master]

To be clear, I'm not trying to be an arse about this. I don't want to be interrupting anyone's enjoyment of the game by bashing on about the rulebook, but I think it's important that we're clear about how the game is meant to proceed.

Only the team captain is meant to submit answers, ideally after the team has agreed on it. That's when the question is quoted and the answer is written in bold red. The only cases where non-captains are allowed to submit answers is when they've been given permission to do so. That's usually when the team captain isn't available when the deadline approaches.

The issue by quoting Ray502 and giving what you think the answer is, is that he could very well interpret what you've written as the team's answer. That answer could be something the team as a whole didn't agree to, or worse, an incorrect answer to something another team member had the correct answer to. Ray502 is meant to take the first answer he's given, any others are meant to be ignored.

[Ray502]

6 hours left!

[Ambidextroid]

I would suggest we go with an answer about the Rabbids, such as mentioning which event in the RRR games caused the first link between the glade and the real world. That’s all I can think of anyway, if you think of anything else then go with what you think sounds best.

[RayCarrot]

Team 1: Name an event that caused the Glade of Dreams to no longer be 100% pure bizarre fiction (canon only).

In Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 the Rabbids and Rayman travel around in the real world, making it clear that the Glade of Dreams exists alongside the real world.

[Ray502]

Team 1 is incorrect. Team 2 has about 2 1/2 hours left.

I'm getting a bit confused with the layout of the questions here. To me it seems that your questions are more like riddles, with a specific answer in mind. Isn't the point of the quiz that each question can have multiple answers? Unless we completely misunderstood the question of course, but it seems like you're looking for a lot of specific answers which are near impossible to figure out.

[Ray502]

I was looking for something that happened directly inside the Glade of Dreams, not outside. Y'all were on the right track, but I don't consider your answer correct.

And not to sound rude at all but I'm not sure what made you think some (all?) of my questions are riddles with only one answer accepted. In the Atari Jaguar version question, your hardware limitations answer wasn't the one I had in mind, but it still was correct and I accepted it of course (I was originally thinking about the removal of slopes). Also in the early production of RRR question, I originally thought of this photo that later made it as a minigame, but I accepted your warthog answer because it was correct as well.

I will allow your team to reanswer. This event occurred in the main series.

[Master]

Alright, we've got about 1-2 hours left. Currently we have:

• Rayman has no neck, so where does the food go?
• Rayman seems to be asleep and eating at the same time
• The bushel of fruits doesn't seem to deplete

Of these, what do you guys think makes it strange to see Rayman eating in the intro of Rayman Origins?

[Aaron]

When I said the fruit thing I meant the overall look of the fruits and what they are.

By the way, I think what makes it strange to see Rayman eating in the beginning of RO is that he's asleep and eating at the same time.

I wasn't referring to all your questions, so sorry for making it seem that way. I just felt when looking at the other team's and our team's questions and incorrect answers that it's hard to understand the reason for the answers being incorrect. A lot of the time I feel that both our teams know the answer, but are a bit confused at exactly what it is you're looking for (like with the current question for the other team). For example, with our question here there was no way of knowing that it was in the main series, and based on the wording of your question our answer seemed fine.
But I'm not complaining, so sorry if you understood it that way. I was just pointing out that it felt like some answer were judged as wrong answers when they seemed to answer the given question. Maybe it's just me not being used to the correct answer not being given at the end of a round like in normal seasons, making me question why it was deemed incorrect. After all you're the team leader of this season, so I'm not trying to interfere. I just wanted to express how I felt here. So sorry once again.

[Ray502]

No you're fine, I just wasn't expecting y'all to be having a difficult time in understanding why some of your answers are incorrect.

For Team 2's current question, I had no idea they would be coming up with multiple possible answers. I thought there was only one clear cut answer when I came up with that question.

Anyway, both teams have 1 hour left.

TTQ, eh? You sometimes learn things you'd not have considered or known.

When I said the fruit thing I meant the overall look of the fruits and what they are.

By the way, I think what makes it strange to see Rayman eating in the beginning of RO is that he's asleep and eating at the same time.

I think the look of the fruit is less weird in the context of the Rayman Universe, odd looking fauna and plants is the norm, let's not forget the ever useful but bizarre Plum. With that in mind, I think we're in favour of him being asleep and eating at the same time.

I'll submit in about half an hour, unless you guys have any objections?

[Master]

Alright, half an hour has passed, so I shall submit.

Team 2: What makes it strange to see Rayman eating in the intro of Rayman Origins?

Rayman appears to be asleep and eating at the same time.

[RayCarrot]

Team 1: Name an event that caused the Glade of Dreams to no longer be 100% pure bizarre fiction (canon only).

Well, since I've got no clue I'm just going to throw a wild guess and say the Knowledge of the World backstory which tells how the world was created from Polokus dreams.
