Ellie_Penguin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Overview This game is here to test your knowledge skills. The questions that will be asked are based on any subject and any level. For every right answer you give, you will receive a prize. How to play On the picture below, you will see that each potion jug has a number. Every time you get a right answer, you will be asked to choose a number (edit your latest post in order to tell me the number). Each jug contains a very special prize (even a PB!). Keep in mind questions will be post at RANDOM times. I'm going to do this so everyone gets a fair chance at winning. Next to each question I will be posting the level of Difficulty, and whether I want a short or long answer (and by long I don't mean an essay). Rules -Once you get a right answer, you cannot answer again for another turn. This is so everyone gets a chance to win. -You need to have 50+ posts in order to enter. Reason I'm doing this it's because, I'm giving away PBs and I don't want people to sign up just for this contest then dissapear from the face of our TDN planet. I think it's fair and I think 50 posts show you have interest in staying. -Please DO NOT Spam and read the TDN rules! -Please when you post your number, EDIT your latest post to tell it to me. -Be honest with yourself. I know I can't prevent people from using Internet resources to find their answer, but AT LEAST reword what you read so that it shows effort and your willing to read and learn. If you spot someone copying the exact words off a website, just PM me and I will take a look at it. If caught cheating, you're out of the contest. -Have fun! If you want to add interesting and fun facts to your answer, feel free to do so! The purpose of this is to do some proofisyogurt research, reading and learning! Like I said, if you search on the Internet, write the answers in your own words or in any way that shows an effort from your part. I will NOT reward laziness. *IMPORTANT* I reserve the right to give the prize to someone else if they show more effort. For example, if I ask a question about what Penguins eat and the first person posts: "Penguins only eat fish." Not only they're under the 7-word margin. The just don't show any sign of research. But, if the next person comes up with a nice and clean paragraph or even 2 sentences that show research and understanding, then the prize will go to that person. I'm doing this because I don't want people to post whatever just to get the prize first. There are 26 prizes and there may be more if people like this contest so you will have a chance.

All you have to do is follow the trivia with something related. I will post something like "fish have fins" and the next person will post a fish trivia. Simple? Well, there's a catch! There are a lot of "fish" trivia out there, but at some point we will be left with none! The last person to post the last related trivia (in this example, fish related trivia) wins the price! Example: Me: Fish have fins Someone: Fish live in the ocean Someone2: (imagine this is the last fish RELATED trivia) Fish get eaten by sharks. Someone 2 gets a prize for being the last person to post a fish related trivia. --------------------------------------------------- Winners Round 1 Trivia: Chameleons Winner: TBA --------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GraphicMania About: Every week I will be posting a Knowledge related theme (i.e. Egyptian Culture). Your job is to come up with a nice Graphic (could be wallpaper, avatar, etc. But I will let you know which type I'm looking for), about that theme! In your Graphic you must show knowledge of the theme. Let's say you create an Egyptian Culture Wallpaper. You would have to write some interesting facts related to that culture, plus combine your own images about it! So this is like a presentation poster you would do for school. Deadline: GraphicMania starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday at 7am NST. On Monday the winner is picked and a new theme will be posted. Requirements: Your ability to research and your imagination! You can use MS Paint, draw it, photoshop, etc. Anything works as long as you show you did your research! You may post your own links reference. Time: You have a week and I'm not asking you to make anything pro. This should NOT get on the way of your daily homework or any chores you may have. Just make your Graphic look nice and clean and you are set! Prizes: They will depend on the type of Graphic. The most expensive prize will be awarded for a Wallpaper. The cheapest will be for an avatar. Prizes will include PBs, books, but NEVER junk. I will also award neopoints. *NOTE* Even if you answer the Knowledge Questions, you can participate! -------------------------------------------- Winners Round 1: Dinosaur Wallpaper Winner: TBA --------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the contest starts on January 1st as stated above so on that day, I will be posting the first question People are probably wondering why I'm asking about your subjects strengths and weaknesses. I just want to know so that I can use those notes as a guide when I post the questions. I want to make it fair for everyone. I don't want to be posting a Math question when no one knows anything about Math (just an example lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
