The Yliakum Quiz in Amdeneir

[Daevaorn]

The great Yliakum Quiz will soon take place in the arena or theatre of Amdeneir!

[ on Saturday, 20th of August 2011 21:00h UTC (23:00h CEST, 22:00h BST) ]

Everybody is invited to watch and participate. The topic of questions will be Yliakum - from the easy grand scale to the hardest, tiniest detail. Are you up for a challenge? There will be a fine selection of prizes to win in the quiz.

• The quiz will have several rounds with two candidates playing against eachother.
• Candidates for each round are selected from all participants who haven't played yet with an estimation question. The two best/closest answers (and earliest if multiple identical ones are given) get to play the round.
• Both candidates will be presented with a series of questions consisting of introductory information and a final question.
• Each candidate has one chance to answer the question at any time (even if he does not wait for all the information and the actual question).
• For a correct answer a point will be awarded. If the answer is wrong the opponent is awarded a point and gains the chance to give the correct answer and thus gain another point.
• The candidate to reach a total of 7 points first wins the game round.
• Each winner of a round can select one item of the available (remaining) prizes.

If you would like to participate please register with the host beforehand [post a reply].

The game will end with a mystery treasure hunt for all to participate.

What an excellent idea! 

A couple weeks ago, I was thinking myself about doing [in the best British tradition] a 'Pub Quiz,' in-game but haven't been able to find the time to do so. I'll try my best to come to this!

The quiz was very interesting and a lot of fun. Many thanks to Daevaorn for hosting it.



Unfortunately, it was very late for Solita, so she had to cancel the last hunt "between two times iron" ... whatever that meant.

Between the Iron Mine and the Iron Temple there is now a note, saying "I found your stuff, the way was rough, I took all you left, hope it wasn't theft..."   

Thanks to Onilise for the verse!

Thanks very much for hosting it Daevaorn  It was quite interesting! If you do it again, and I hope that you do, I'd love to be a contestant.

It got too late to continue the hunt for the treasure... I take it that it was found in the end? Where exactly was it?

Good job Daevaorn, was very fun to watch... next time I hope Mesrin will participate....

Thank you guys. I also enjoyed organising and delivering the event. A game like this lives and dies with the participants though. So thank you for coming and playing. And yes there can be a repeat. There were prepared categories left after all.

And those who participated and want to know about the precise location of the treasure: I will tell you in game not to create to much publicity for a good hideout ;-)
