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.

Anyone here planning on writing a quiz for Cambodia? If not I will write one. I just got back from the country two months ago. Reply #882. Sep 07 12, 1:01 PM |

I found this quiz written last year which has a sunny. It can replace the one currently in the list, which was written back in 2002. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Cambodian-Adventures-341274.html Reply #883. Sep 07 12, 1:10 PM |

That is the reserve quiz for rotation. The current one just got rotated in - it is rather old, but highly ranked, and helps provide variety by being historical. Cambodia doesn't need any more quizzes as far as the Bus Ride is concerned, as these two will provide adequate rotation, but if someone writes a new one that ranks higher, it can certainly replace one of these in the rotation.

I will attempt Liechtenstein if is still available... Reply #885. Sep 08 12, 8:58 PM |

Everything is available. Liechtenstein is not listed at the top of the page because it has two quizzes available, but the current one doesn't rank with sunnies, and the reserve is just in the top half, so it is quite feasible to produce a better quiz than either of those. :D Reply #886.

Thanks Looney. I have changed my mind and will go to Barbados instead. Sunshine and plenty of rum should get me motivated :) Reply #887. Sep 09 12, 1:47 AM |

Ihave noted it, and will check, when it gets 20 ratings and has a rank, whether or not it will become part of the rotation. I'll let you know, but the actual rotation may not be for a while - they happen when Terry has time in the middle of everything else, and never at closer intervals than a complete cycle, which takes a bit over 6 months. Last rotation was in April. Reply #890. Sep 12 12, 4:14 AM |

Hate to do this, but I'm going to stop with my Nauru quiz. Just can't find ten interesting and original questions on it, even with the recent Australian asylum seeker developments. Sorry. :( Reply #891. Sep 12 12, 7:33 AM |

I've just submitted my Ecuador quiz for editorial review. It has taken me longer than expected because, as usual, I was sidetracked whilst doing research. I had planned to include some questions about the Galapagos islands, but there's so much interesting stuff about this I've decided to make a separate quiz entirely about the Galapagos islands. It could take a while before that will be finished though. Reply #893. Sep 15 12, 4:01 AM |

My Ecuador quiz is online now. It's been redirected in the general category. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/General/Exquisite-Ecuador-351795.html Reply #894. Sep 24 12, 12:57 PM |

General is actually a good category for a quiz that will be interesting on the Bus Ride - it allows you to include a bigger variety of questions than does Geography. I will be watching to see how this quiz ranks! Reply #895. Sep 24 12, 2:19 PM |

Just bumping this to keep it on the first page. New Bus Ride quizzes are always welcome, and can help you find a focus for categories you need for the Pangalactic Challenge. Reply #896. Oct 10 12, 11:19 PM |

Am I allowed to use an Author's Challenge title for a Bus Ride quiz? Either way, I'll claim Germany if it's free. If it's not free, I'll just write a backup quiz for it. Reply #900. Nov 11 12, 11:00 PM |
