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.

Thanks for the info, I don't want to waste my time. I am merely looking to replace the older quizzes. I will look at the list and choose another. Reply #741. Dec 24 11, 11:00 PM |

I hate to jump on that one-- the Llamas team are half way through a Swiss quiz on a whim. :P All the 'absolutely required' countries are listed in the top posting. I'm not sure what LT still needs otherwise. Reply #743. Dec 25 11, 12:45 AM |

Watching them closely for the race's sake or for the bus ride's sake? ;) Reply #754. Jan 04 12, 4:13 PM |
