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.

Nice quiz, Salami. San Marino is in the queue (unless it's got lost on the way). Reply #701. Aug 19 11, 9:43 AM |

Thanks, Rossian. I'll get to my Ecuador quiz by next week, hopefully. Reply #702. Aug 19 11, 10:13 AM |

San Marino didn't get lost - here it is. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/World/Lost-in-San-Marino-341319.html Reply #703. Aug 22 11, 5:14 AM |

I nominate Looney (again) as a moderator for this particular board so she can update the list as needed! San Marino is still up there, and I'm sure it would already be gone if she had control of the thread. ;-) And, also, any ideas for a catchy title for Ecuador? Reply #704. Aug 23 11, 9:52 AM |

I thought of using the title "A Watery Entrance is an Ecuador", but that just doesn't sound right, sine it's "aqua door". lol. Any better ideas? Reply #705. Aug 23 11, 9:53 AM |

Quito While You're Still Ahead. Reply #706. Aug 23 11, 10:23 AM |

Haha, I like that one. I was thinking about using Quito in the title, but I was hoping it wouldn't make people think it was just about the city... ;-) lol. I really like that, though, I might just use it. Reply #707. Aug 23 11, 10:32 AM |

I have submitted my quiz on Djibouti. To be honest, it is definitely my worst country quiz. It was tough to find good geography questions about Djibouti. lol. We'll see if it's good enough for going online, anyway. ;-) Reply #708. Aug 24 11, 2:55 PM |

Since we have a hungry meter, I'll go to Nigeria to get lost (Austria will be next, L_T). Reply #709. Aug 25 11, 3:43 AM |

South Sudan is online, by the way. :-) Reply #710. Aug 25 11, 8:09 AM |

I just stumbled across an article about Ukraine that had ten national landmarks listed - just dying to be turned into a ten-question quiz, so that is my next project. Reply #711. Aug 26 11, 4:10 AM |

This looks like a candidate for an alternative Nigeria quiz. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/World/Lost-in-Nigeria-341542.html Reply #712. Aug 30 11, 2:24 AM |

At the start of February I promised you Mauritania. Well... (drum roll)...it's finally been submitted. Reply #713. Sep 20 11, 5:38 PM |

I must also say that I'm working on a replacement quiz for Mali. Unfortunately, I've had to forego the original title of "A Ewe in Timbuktu" (because it wasn't quite working out). I have, however, come up with a new title that works quite well. :D Reply #715. Sep 20 11, 7:09 PM |

I know it's a disputed territory rather than a country but do we have any quizzes on Western Sahara? Reply #719. Sep 21 11, 10:51 AM |

I don't think there are any quizzes devoted to the country, although I have seen at least one question, in a quiz about northern Africa. Reply #720. Sep 21 11, 1:37 PM |
