A Quiz About Boardsies Played By Boardsies

    Let's see if this idea can work.

    Anyone out there can send me a little bit of info about themselves in a private message. It doesn't have to be a deep insight into your personal life, it can be something like (myself as an example): My favourite chocolate bar is Topic.

    I would then turn it into quiz questions. I will likely give four options to narrow it down or else it would be needle in a haystack and haywire, e.g.

    What's Reberetta's fave chocolate bar?

    A/ Mars
    B/ Topic
    C/ Twix
    D/ Chomp

    Obviously you'll know the answer to your own question so you wouldn't answer that one, just the others.

    If you want to make it happen send me a private message with a tidbit about yourself.

    You might want to make it something that isn't glaringly obvious, but could be cleverly deduced from your online persona - but if it's extremely vague and totally unknown, that will be fine also. Something insightful, funny or to do with traumatic childhood memories-all good! Anything at all goes just as long as I can turn it into a question.

    If you don't contribute an answer/question, you might not be allowed to enter the quiz proper, so yes, I am blackmailing you into submission!

    If we get enough for a quiz I will let you know and make a separate thread with the questions at a later date.

    I'm boring and like all chocolate and crisps


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Should there be a limit on how many brags facts that can be entered for those of us who are not interesting people not to get swamped by those who are?? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    Should they be facts other boardsies might know from our posting / history here or should they be absolutely random?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    It can be either. Hopefully nobody will be searching posts. :)

    Better to be sure :) I recently spent an hour stalking LeVar, Necro and Trigger through posts and still only got 13/30 ;) (If that number is wrong sorry I'm too lazy to look it up :D)

    I'd even struggle to think of boring facts about me. I'm that boring* :pac:

    Would five be ideal??






    *and its exactly how I like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Five is fine. I will pick the best one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I assumed only 1 was wanted.

    Oh I see, you are only using ONE fact. Sorry I thought you were using multiple..


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 7,705 Mod ✭✭✭✭HildaOgdenx


    I assumed only 1 was wanted.

    That's what I thought too.

    It's probably more appealing though if it's one question about each participant.

    Hopefully more will join in yet.

    I'll be in tomorrow!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I'll try and join tomorrow as well, if I can think of a single thing about myself half worth mentioning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Do you want the question and right/wrong answers, or just the one fact and you'll make up the question from that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Lol, he only got one fact from me, though I did think after I could have offered the options, just to be helpful :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,919 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    No BB, you can do it

    What's the highest building you've ever been up?
    What's the most expensive meal you've ever had?
    Have you ever licked an elephant?
    Ever been stung on your bum by a wasp?

    The list is literally endless :p

    I gave a list of about 13 incorrect answers to go with my correct one, so Reb could choose the most plausible sounding or amusing options as incorrects...
