Subject: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge
Posted by: Terry
Date: Mar 16 10
While the replacement of low-ranked quizzes is a continuing goal, preparation of extra quizzes to introduce variety for the tourists is also important now that the Bus Ride is well-established. Some tourists have been around the world over ten times, and even nice quizzes get repetitive. The lowest-ranked quiz currently used for the tour has a ranking that is roughly in the top third of all quizzes, so replacement is not an urgent matter, but we would still like to have new quizzes of a suitable quality to use as replacements, to provide a bit of diversity for those players who have played every day since the beginning, and who have probably memorised the answers to the current quizzes.
If you create a new quiz on a Bus Ride country, get it placed online, and have it place within a reasonable ranking, it may be rotated in to provide a more diverse program. Should your quiz manage a higher ranking than the current entry, it could become the permanent fixture, waiting for a future challenger. As an added bonus, we have modified the ratings system to give all quizzes in our rotation a ratings bump.
Feel free to use this thread to also "claim" a country so that you don't duplicate someone else's effort, and make sure to follow along with our later posts and updates to make sure that everything is in order. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
This link will show you what the ranking is for each of our current country quizzes.

My Guinea-Bissau quiz is live. http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails.cfm?quiz=360467 Mauritius is finished, and will be submitted after I copy it into a template. And then next up is Burkina Faso. Reply #1041. Jun 19 13, 4:22 PM |

You do and you clean it up. :D That's an old joke. Anyway, it may be a little bit before I can submit Mauritius b/c I have another quiz in the queue, but I'll go ahead and copy it into a template so that it's ready. Reply #1043. Jun 19 13, 9:59 PM |

Comoros is done and waiting with the Editors, and I took a break from Africa to do a quiz on Finland since it was in the Author's Challenge. I'll do GABON next to save anyone duplicating work Reply #1044. Jun 21 13, 12:13 AM |

I'm sure this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I couldn't work out where was the right place, so here goes with apologies... The question sets in the 'Mixed Questions' sets that rotate every few hours seem to repeat the same questions time after time. I think the 'Harder For Children' set has been the same the last 20 times I played it, so it's just a question of which order the alternatives appear. Is this simply because there are so few questions in that category? I haven't noticed that it is as bad in topics such as History or Geography, although there is still a fair amount of repetition there. I confess that although I submit hundreds of questions to the 'New Questions' list I very rarely write anything for the 'For Children' category. I guess I'm not the only one? How about some challenges that would build up that question stock if that is the problem? marc Reply #1046. Jun 23 13, 11:22 AM |

BTW Here is the link for the Comoros quiz so you guys can rate it if you feel so inclined... http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/The-Union-of-the-Comoros-360616.html Gabon is done and with the Editors I'll give Africa a break for a couple of days while I try to write a quiz for the latest Author's Challenge game, but I'll come back in a few days for another country.

Re: "How about some challenges that would build up that question stock if that is the problem?" Impossible. Brain Teasers, For Children, and Video Games are not eligible for Single Questions which are used to create those mixed games. Those FC questions are from waaaaaay back at the start of the game when FC was part of it (for a few weeks at the most). Reply #1048. Jun 23 13, 11:43 AM |

I don't see a quiz on the Caribbean. Can I claim it for a quiz? Reply #1049. Jun 23 13, 2:31 PM |

For this you would want to focus on one Caribbean nation not the Caribbean as a whole. The Bus Ride is looking for quizzes focused that way. Reply #1050. Jun 23 13, 3:39 PM |
