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: 3,550 ✭✭✭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:

    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 wouldn't worry about not appearing interesting. This is the typical forum gamer. :D

  • 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..

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

    Hopefully more will join in yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 33,574 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I'll be in tomorrow!


  • Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭ [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, Paid Member Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭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, Paid Member Posts: 31,615 ✭✭✭✭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
