Quote Scholars!

Post by Giant Chicken »

This requires a little backstory. Sometimes when I log onto RPC, I look at the latest posts tab, and try to guess who posted something, by only reading the post itself! I find it pretty fun, as everyone here has their own unique writing style, interests, and humor! Sooo... I decided to make a game out of it! Introducing...

QUOTE SCHOLARS!
I encountered so many weird threads while making this...
The idea of the game is simple. There's 6 different sections, each focused on their own time period, (I tried to make the one's from earlier time periods easier, with some small giveaways in the posts chosen, but the oldies are gonna have an advantage here), and you have to guess who wrote each post! The answers are all written, so make sure you write the username correctly. I also advise against simply searching up the answers, as it kinda ruins the fun, and don't send multiple responses.

Now, nothing's better than some good old competition, so I decided to put up some of my tings at stake! The first set of prizes are for whoever can get the highest scores by this Sunday!

1st - 1000 tings
2nd - 500 tings
3rd - 200 tings

I will also give a bonus 500 to anyone who gets 15/20 or higher by the end of Sunday as well!

Good luck! :D

Fixed! :oops2:

I'll manually add up the scores by Sunday as well, since I assumed stuff like this would happen. Oh well!

I got 7/20. Those I correctly identified were Matyuv, myself, Rulez, Serza5, The Jonster, PopuriAO29 and EdgyRabbid. I certainly had no memory of El Dango writing that fanfic. :shock:

Anyway, I like how you named the various eras the forum went through. It's certainly good to know that the "Dark Ages" are over. :fou:

Knowing this, I fully expect to get a big fat goose egg.

EDIT : As expected, 0. Although I misspelled the 1st one and it was right so I guess 1/20

I got 11/20 (well, 10 because of the error above :oops2:). I mistook the fanfic for "the wabid and the wite lum" and answered accordingly :oops2:

After seeing that the highest anyone has gotten so far was 11, I've decided to lower the bonus to only 15/20. 20/20 is basically impossible considering the trick questions I added :fou:

Should have been 8/20 because "Jonster" didn't count as correct :lol:

I'm sure there are lots of people who forget that I have a "The" in my username here since I don't use the word on the outside. :lol:

I can't believe I didn't censor my screenshot so I effectively spoiled one of the answers for everyone else! :oops2: Still, anyone who's been around here lately should immediately know it anyway :hap:

I think that if we'd really wanted to cheat, no one would have been satisfied with just copying that answer :lol:

And thats a wrap!

1st: Plum - 11/20
2nd: Dave - 8/20
3rd: Humch - 7/20

I'll still leave it up in case anyone else wants to try it. I had a lot of fun making this, even if it was pretty hard trying to find easy questions. Hope everyone else had fun with it!

This is definitely more geared towards veterans or people who are like me or Greengoop and like scoping through history. Having said that, I probably would have gotten a good amount if I had tried.

Anyways…

Decided to take a quick peek to see which was mine…..why did it have to be chosen from that time period???? My natural winner presence here did not cause such a Dark Age! :lol:

This might sound weird, but I'm curious which ones you knew.
