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.

I had claimed Mali back in June, and then got side-tracked. I'm sorry if I've kept people from writing quizzes about that fascinating country by my oversight! Reply #821. Apr 08 12, 1:24 PM |

@ThrustAsh: I wasn't aware that you were already doing a quiz on Mali. In this case I withdraw my claim on it. It wasn't anywhere near completion anyway. Reply #824. Apr 12 12, 1:53 AM |

We can have more than one spare - Bhutan currently has gone from only having one quiz to having 6 that would make good Bus Ride quizzes! The two highest rating quizzes are being used, but if there are more really good ones, I make a note to keep checking which ones are actually the two highest. Reply #825. Apr 12 12, 1:56 AM |

To be honest, my original plan was to make a quiz about Timbuktu, not Mali. It's only when I noticed that there wasn't a back-up yet that I thought of converting it to a Mali quiz. I hadn't yet rewritten much of it. Now that there's already a back-up I prefer sticking with my original idea and make a quiz on Timbuktu, that will save me a bit of time too. Maybe I'll do some other country in the future. Reply #826. Apr 12 12, 2:23 AM |

I happily scoop up Geography, World, History, General (Country specific) if their ranking and level of difficulty makes them seem appropriate. I even have a couple of Hobbies quizzes on national cuisines listed. Reply #832. Apr 13 12, 9:04 PM |

I go through phases in which I'll be in a quiz writing mood and all, and that passed after I submitted this quiz. So another one of those phases should come soon and I'll change some of the things on the quiz and get it online. Reply #835. Apr 14 12, 11:27 AM |

I'll do a 'Lost in Montenegro' quiz. I've visiting the country later this year so it will be a good chance to remind myself about it. Reply #837. Apr 16 12, 8:01 AM |

And submitted. The previous post should read 'I'm visiting...' I got confused between trying to say 'I've been there (in 1972) and 'I'm going back'. Reply #838. Apr 16 12, 10:44 AM |
