Title: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Rigwyn on February 18, 2010, 11:31:04 pm
Settings Trivia.

Ok, so here's  a new Idea for a forum game.
The game works like this.

1. You post a trivia question related to PlaneShift settings.
2. The next player answers the question and posts a new question.
3. In the event that someone posts an incorrect answer simply answer the last question, correct them, and post a new question.

* If a disagreement arises then post any supporting facts to back up your argument.
* Be careful not to give out spoilers ( ie. Don't ask questions like "Which NPC trains skill X"  or "Which quest gives you itemX" )
* Don't ask questions that require knowledge from secret, hidden, or unavailable books/resources

Example:

Code: [Select]

Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on February 21, 2010, 12:06:34 am
I rather meant if anyone knows of which former town the ruins are everything left after the ages.

No, there are no known facts yet which town there was before it turned into ruins. Rumours say it might be Ylon Dynari - but Nyshyn Klannarr can not yet confirm that.

/easy/ Question:  How many seats are there in the iron temple?

12 pews and a total of 13 individual seats.
I`ve always wondered about the eight in the lower area...for the Octarchs? The five are clearly for the Diats of the five branches of Laanx.

The swamp is on the Barn...try asking those who are close to the Barn.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

I wonder where "the Barn" is ... suspected the Dark Wanderer, but that might be wrong.

The Barn is the area the Winch will access, level 2 in Yliakum

Post by: Dermathil on February 26, 2010, 03:21:15 am
Tadano, is it the Jillians Swamps? (Forgive me if I made a mistake with the name.)

What is the name of the waterfalls that are not far from Sarpendil?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 26, 2010, 04:50:06 am
The Jillian Swamp, correct.

A: The Cups of Laanx are the waterfalls near the city of Sarpendil. They must extend a few levels down, as Poricet on the 3rd Level is also described as being close to them.

Q: What is the name of Ervin Fromaad`s sister?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on February 26, 2010, 08:21:00 am
(Why do you use a backquote instead of an apostroph?...)

At least Ervin does not know his own sister - asked directly; so someone else might. A case for the "Inconsistency Hunt"?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 26, 2010, 08:24:15 am
The scores so far :D
Bguy – 1
Rigwyn – 4
Tadano – 5
LigH – 3
Peeg – 1
Despaira – 1
Dermathil – 1

EDIT: After a year of using this PC I just found my apostrophy now...as shift+7! What’s it doing up there? The backquote ` is shift+@, in a far more commonly-used position. Tsk. Jpnz keyboard.

EDIT2: Ervin might not mention his sister directly, but her name can be discovered.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Koios on February 26, 2010, 01:35:55 pm
A: Ervin's sister is named Mirlene.

Q: What is the name of Ervin and Mirlene's father? ;)

Post by: bilbous on February 26, 2010, 02:00:44 pm
Jogar Fromaad

What was the reputed relationship between kran and ulbernauts.

Oh wait that was my crackpot theory not settings lore.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Dermathil on February 26, 2010, 03:01:36 pm
No idea Bilbous.

What type of fish lives in the Emerald lake?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 26, 2010, 04:15:53 pm
carp fish (prove me wrong)

which mortal gained everlasting fame for its unique interaction with Talad?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Dermathil on February 26, 2010, 04:53:36 pm
Bilbous, You're wrong. ;D

In fact they're called Yauth fish.

R: gah, I gotta check ingame. I'll edit this when I'll have the answer. If it's at Jayose, I'll find it.  ;)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 26, 2010, 09:05:22 pm
By the way my crackpot theory was that kran are formed by hibernating ulbernauts being encrusted over time by dripping in a magic cave. Of course settings came out with an explanation that relegated mine to the dustbin of krastory.

Did the Yauth eat all the carp? are there no other fish in that lake at all?

You are likely to find the answer to my question in the library; the clue, however, might be too ambiguous -- just like some of the riddles in the game.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 27, 2010, 02:26:12 am
Bguy – 1
Rigwyn – 4
Tadano – 5
LigH – 3
Peeg – 1
Despaira – 1
Dermathil – 1
Koios – 1
Bilbous – 1

Which mortal gained everlasting fame for its unique interaction with Talad?

I`m guessing the answer is a kran so I`ll go for...
Konroran.
(Though that`s probably not a very ‘ambiguous’ answer)

EDIT: If Bilbous can confirm if I`m right or wrong...if I am right I`ll post a new question.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 27, 2010, 03:47:12 am
No you are wrong. If you dig deep enough in the lumium mine you might come across Kra's remains, unless I am remembering the story incorrectly or it has changed since I last looked.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 27, 2010, 04:54:12 am
A: Gugrontid!

Q: Who has Dwingle Stronghand`s plans?

Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on February 27, 2010, 05:30:30 am
STOP!

What question are you answering with "Gugrontid", Tadano?! Is "Gugrontid" the name of the mortal?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 27, 2010, 06:14:07 am
That is the answer I was looking for. When Talad threw down the pillar that became the town Gugrontid all the Kran were safe except one who was never found again and kra's name was Gugrontid so they named the town after him. Did I get the story wrong? Was my description incorrect? I think it was in a library book but it might have been a quest revelation.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 27, 2010, 08:01:33 am
No, you`re quite right Bilbous, it`s in the book about Gugrontid (the city), that the stalactite fell upon Gugrontid (the kran) thus the city was named after him.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 27, 2010, 04:26:39 pm
It was specifically Talad that caused it to fall so that the kran would have a place to live, wasn't it? I'd hate to think I embellished the story.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 27, 2010, 06:16:27 pm
Well, Aedaisti interpreted it as Talad having brought down the stalactite onto Gugrontid`s noggin` as a sign, yeah  ;D

As for a hint for my latest question: it`s not in the Winch. It is in Hydlaa.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Dermathil on February 27, 2010, 06:49:09 pm
Going to go with a random guess: Amidison Stronghand has the plans?

(I'll post my question when I'll have confirmation)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 27, 2010, 07:01:09 pm
Sorry, no.
Look a little further down the levels of society...
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 28, 2010, 04:38:12 am
Those wouldn't be the same plans one of the library denizens ask you to get would they? And if so then before or after you acquire them? As a matter of fact I think it might be possible one of my characters has them right now will that name do?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on February 28, 2010, 12:24:29 pm
The library isn`t involved.
It is true that someone (A) gives you them to take to someone else (B), from which (B) makes something.
I`m looking for (A).
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

I`ve tried to make sure that neither the question nor answer would spoil any quests.

How about someone else sets a question? :)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Dermathil on February 28, 2010, 05:17:53 pm
How many Bronze doors are there in total on the Dome?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 28, 2010, 05:41:23 pm
just one at the moment ;) or rather none as I haven't actually seen anything that looks like bronze doors at the Eagle Bronze Doors, just the fortress. It is likely that if it was there it would be a double door though but it might be a portcullis/drawbridge affair.

I believe there are theoretically 8 in total though.

One has to wonder why they are made of a soft metal like bronze when they could be made of steel.

Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Dermathil on February 28, 2010, 08:25:08 pm
You don't read books do you? There are two books that should count them, or at least that's what I can come up from the top of my head. There's at least one that for sure has them all, but I ain't sure if the other has it too, or even which is which. All I know is that there's two books that should talk about it. And look outside the library for once. ;)


(did I give too much detail? Maybe I should STFU now...)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on February 28, 2010, 08:41:17 pm
Actually I have read many of the books just not recently.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

If I remember correctly, there are seven on the Dome.

Thats part of it, but there is an even better reason.  It has to do with the klyros homeworld...  We'll go with what you said if no one can come up with anything.  Probably anyone who's been in the Klyros Junction for a while will know what I'm talking about.

I just want to know, is the stuff you are talking about that is with Klyros Junction official settings approved by the devs or only stuff created as background for guild? (I just gotta be sure. Ain't Klyros Junction, even if I am Klyros.)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

Actually I think they got chased out of their home by some race who had a god. I seem to recall they were refugees, might just have been a Tom Petty song though.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on March 02, 2010, 05:58:28 am
IIRC the story Dracaeon refers to is official Settings info, but I`m not sure that anyone outside of the Klyros Junction know about it.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Mordraugion on March 02, 2010, 09:57:05 am
The Klyros race history hasn't been released to the public so I'm a little confused as how anyone would know whether its official settings info or not and as it is very disjointed and contrary in places it will get some serious editting when I have time.
But
Answer:

Is closest and I think what Dracaeon refers to is one of the inconsistancies that will be removed.

Oh, so that was right?  Okay then...

What is the true meaning of music, and who is the person who said this?

This one has a very specific, yliakumian answer, so don't go getting all theoretical on me now.


Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Tadano Hitoshi on March 04, 2010, 12:54:49 pm
A: The more a performer plays, the more they gain a reputation as one always will, whether 'tis good or bad. If 'tis good one may be asked to entertain at parties, or perhaps to be staffed. It is a blessing and a curse to become staffed, for they have all the luxuries they could wish for, but they forget the true meaning of music... to share.
As said by Roya Vuntarr in "Music In Yliakum"

Should Bilbous`s fruity answer prove false...
A: Kra`s feelings of guilt that the creation of the kran had also caused Laanx`s scarring, thus kra was obsessed with Laanx and making amends...this spurred kran to devote himself to creating a statue of Laanx.

What is the benefit of using falka over oil or wood for lighting?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on March 16, 2010, 07:11:25 pm
Tough one. Neither quest related NPCs know it... and they don't mention any details during the quest.

My guess would be that it doesn't smoke as much; or is otherwise less aggressive to paper (e.g. less acidic).
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: bilbous on March 16, 2010, 08:11:54 pm
it is easier to curse out the falkan lantern without actually using improper language. :oops:
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

No, I would not call the Octarch's job "comfortable", even though he usually is located in his office.

And it is a business job, more than just being a housewife waiting for the husband to return.

In fact, it recently became quite popular, since this person also offers tools and training to try it yourself.

”“With words combined in subtler times, all the chimes will ring. On that ring cast the best of all the somber chants, net of hymns to bind, and find a friend with whom to prance, away from all enmity, disaster or chance.”” - Author unknown

My original question was : Can you name the author?

The answer is, no you can't. :)

Okay I reckon I deserve a point for that...

and a new question... easier one this time:  :devil:

The church of Laanx has many branches, but how many diats does it have? (explain your answer)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Rigwyn on April 15, 2010, 04:07:37 pm
Answer: 40  ( 1 diat per branch(5) per level (8)  )  Reference: The Five Branches of Laanx  ( Jayose' Library )

According to 3.4.3. THIRD EPOCH: THE REALM OF LAANX garoninja should be right, with one exception (Hydlaa - created by Vòdul).

Sorry about that, didnt know if I i had the right answer. What is Talad's most powerful glyph?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on April 16, 2010, 07:19:35 pm
Probably the one he used to create the Kran? ... But I can't find its name in the Player GUide. Maybe more sources elsewhere?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game

Isn't his most powerful glyph "HYDLAA"????

Post by: Aurelynt on April 18, 2010, 12:22:34 pm
The answer to this one is needed by some NPC in a quest...

Question: how many answers to questions asked in some quest step or clues to find out how to fulfill the next quest step can one find in this thread without having to look for in game?

Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on April 18, 2010, 02:56:12 pm
There is a valid answer for my question which does not depend on any quest knowledge, just requires telling what one can see directly.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Aurelynt on April 18, 2010, 03:33:58 pm
Yet, taking it this way, you can ask what NPC trains what. After all, it's public information ingame and does not depend on any quest knowledge: one just needs to click on the NPC to see directly this information...

Whatever, my aim was just a remark to be careful as to what can be a spoiler or not (and unfortunately there's no answer for it, unless knowing of every quest, book, etc. in game).

Your answer: cure infectious wounds.

Q: who was thrown in jail and had to take leave of her (that's a hint ;)) market stall in Dsar Sarraghi because of Jirosh Mikana? (let's hope that's not used in any quest...)

Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on April 18, 2010, 04:44:43 pm
I appreciate your warnings and try to avoid spoilers; I believe I already warned too in the beginning of this thread...

Look for chests.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on May 21, 2010, 11:32:42 pm
I would have guesses that Boralis has one secured, after the raid... but it didn't look so.

Ah - found it! In the store of the Akkaio Outfitters. Golden Rings are valuable, indeed.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on May 23, 2010, 11:53:07 pm
According to the age of the small fountains ("Complex wells") system, Hydlaa must already have existed before the God __(A)__ arrived, therefore the race of the __(B)__ who created monumental buildings made of __(C)__ must have arrived a lot later.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Nivm on June 05, 2010, 05:06:53 am
 Off the top of my head to resurrect this:
A) Laanx
B) Xacha
C) Iron
 But I doubt that's right since you said "buildings" instead of "a building".
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on June 05, 2010, 09:44:57 am
Well, I counted both tower and Laanx temple to the iron buildings constructed by Xacha - but that were the answers I was looking for.

Your turn!
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Nivm on June 05, 2010, 10:03:12 am
 Whoops, I don't really know that much yet...
 Which guard in Yliakum has been called an ~"ice queen"?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on June 05, 2010, 01:19:29 pm

Funny question! So far I only remember 3 female guards, and one of them is everything but "reserved"...
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on June 17, 2010, 01:49:50 pm
@ Nivm:

Can this information only be obtained via a quest?
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Hrothbert on June 17, 2010, 02:27:07 pm
@ligh I have a small problem I am pretty sure that it is said somewhere that the windowless tower predates Hydlaa, and the Xacha.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on June 17, 2010, 03:18:39 pm
The more NPCs you ask, the more theories you hear about the iron buildings in Hydlaa. Them being built by Xacha is only one theory you can hear. Well possible that others tell you the opposite. Nevertheless, a strong relation between Xacha, Laanx, and iron constructions seems to be common knowledge about Yliakum history. So wether really Xacha or not built the Iron Tower - it seems to be most probable that they could have done it. And the Laanx temple - are there similar doubts or beliefs who built that? Unless the Settings publish a historical document about it, it will stay a myth for us. ;)

But the Complex wells appear to be even older, and that seems to be quite certain, somehow...
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: Nivm on June 21, 2010, 01:32:25 pm
 From a quest, as is most dialog. Sorry for being late. I will probably be so again, so skip me if a good question is suggested.
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on July 13, 2010, 12:01:33 pm
Nivm, it seems that hardly anyone knows this quest. And in general, quests are a quite exclusive source of Settings information...

So I hope you don't mind a new question:

Apart from the Nolthrir and Kran, which other race can breathe underwater?

What happened to the clamond clan (Enkidukai)
Title: Re: Settings Trivia Game
Post by: LigH on April 03, 2013, 11:22:49 am
As far as I remember, they don't "own" a Dsar in Ojaveda, but primarily live in the suburbs with the Mills. (According to the Dsar sketch I have seen, which seems to be unknown to the Wiki authors, the Mills are not a Dsar inside the city of Ojaveda, but rather located in front of the city walls.)

Or do you refer to a different topic?
