Question 39: In the Spyro the Dragon series, what is the name of the main antagonist?

[The Jonster]

Ripto! (Please tell me I’m rihgt

[Greengoop]

Is it Gnasty Gnorc?

[Steo]

Ripto! (Please tell me I’m rihgt

This is correct!

While both Ripto and Gnasty Gnorc (greengoop's answer) were technically "main" villains, Ripto has been the most persistent enemy for Spyro, and Jonster's answer was first. Therefore, Jonster gets the point!

Congratulations Jonster!


The final scoreline:


1st place: The Jonster - 10 points

2nd place: Aaron - 5 points

3rd place: LoveMetal - 4 points

Congratulations jonster! Is he allowed to host the next round yet?

[Steo]

Yeah there is no cooldown on this contest, there never was and the person was just allowed to start the next contest immediately (or whenever they're ready). However, the first post is so out of date and needs to actually mention current moderators rather than sending people to contact LoveMetal.

EDIT: Before it's continued, maybe the people who are second and third in future should get ting prizes too? Right now, only first place gets 500 and nothing for runner up etc. Also, we should start counting them, such as "Video Games Knowledge Quiz #1", and so forth.

[Greengoop]

How about 500 for the winner, 100 for second place, 50 for third and 20 for 4th and 5th?

[Steo]

Well right now, this is how TTQ works, maybe it would be fairer to do it this way rather than position?

10 points - 500 tings
9 points - 250 tings
8 points - 125 tings
7 points - 75 tings
6 points - 50 tings
5 points - 25 tings
Bonus Question - 100 tings

We also never had bonus questions here, but maybe we can? The point is a bonus question will be more difficult to answer and can be kept open at the same time as a regular question.

Also, it depends on whether adding a cooldown is worth it, though the idea of TTQ is that ROTG is active while that's on cooldown, but there is no such thing for this quiz, so maybe no cooldown is fine.

[Greengoop]

I think that this can be used as a side activity while TTQ and ROTG are the main ones, and it doesn’t need a cooldown as this one is a lot less active

[Steo]

I agree that we don't need a cooldown, but I would still opt for changing the prizes to points rather than positions, and also for allowing the host to ask up to 2 bonus questions, completely optionally of course.

This was season 3 also, so the next one should have the title changed to say: Video Games Knowledge Quiz #4 when Jonster decides to host. I will speak with the other staff members first before considering the point changes just to confirm, but I will update the first post when we decide.

[Greengoop]

Alright thanks steo! and jonster, I’ll be revising my video game expertise until then!

[The Jonster]

Thank you for the congratulations guys. i've decided to decline hosting this time though, so I've asked dr_st to take over for me since he did great handling the speed quiz yesterday. Everybody have fun participating though!

[Steo]

Sounds like a good plan. Good luck with hosting the next season dr_st, and I look forward to seeing how the contest evolves going forward also.

[lyndo64]

I'm excited for the next season!

[Greengoop]

I hope dr_st can come up with some good questions!

[dr_st]

Hey, everyone!

Thank you, Jonster, for the offer to host the next season. I shall give it my best.

Everyone, please note that the rules of this contest have been amended, to match the rules of the TTQ. The rules have been outlined in the first post, but if you've been participating in the TTQ in recent years, you should be familiar with them already.

The first question will be posted later today. Stay tuned!

[Greengoop]

Alright thanks doc! I’m excited for later!

[Hunchman801]

Congrats Jonster, and thanks dr_st for offering to host the next season.

[dr_st]

Alright, I shall start. But I really want Q1 to be on a new page, so this is a placeholder.
