Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:13 pm Post subject: Quiz Feedback Needed!!!
We've been running the quiz pretty much as it is since March so I was hoping to get some feedback on the subjects we are using.
The subjects we're using at the minute are listed below - most have been used 10 or 11 times since March. With 20 plus subjects they turn up once every 3 weeks or so.
Animals
Celebrities: More Difficult
General Knowledge 4: Harder
General Knowledge 5: Difficult
General Knowledge 6: Very Difficult
Geography 2: Intermediate
Geography 3: Difficult
History 2: Intermediate
History 3: Difficult (Which isn't actually History but Humanities!!)
Hobbies
Literature 1: Easy
Literature 2: More difficult
Movies 2: Intermediate
Movies 3: Difficult
Music 2: Intermediate
Music 3: Difficult
People 2: More Difficult
Science & Nature 2: Intermediate
Science & Nature 3: Difficult
World: UK
World: Trivia: More Difficult
World: Europe
The options for change are either scrap a subject, cut down use of a subject or keep going as we are now.
If we decide to cut down use of a subject I'll use it half as often as we do now - That's pretty easy to do with the spreadsheet I've got on the go.
Please can I have some opinions - obviously if you don't comment and a favourite subject of yours is disliked by others then you might lose it so positive comments are more than welcome too!!
I've set the subjects until Friday so none of this feedback will be used until the weekend.
If anyone doesn't know what I'm going on about please take look at the Quiz thread on the Off Topic forum We need more players! _________________ Cocktails may not be the answer.... but they help you forget the question Vodka... Cheaper than B otox and paralyses more muscles!
My own opinion is that the quiz is going fine.
We seem to get a good mix of tough and easy.
The average number of players is higher now since when we started.
It would be nice to get more but 18 to 20 is a lot more desirable than the 10 to 14 players we use to have.
I could be in a minority but if it was that bad, then we wouldnt have the numbers that we have playing now.
I am not too sure, but some forum members didnt take part as it was perceived to be a long winded registration when it is in fact so easy and takes less than a minute.
I would hate to see you losing sleep over this as i havent heard that many complaints and the incidents of the questions not being linked to the subject matter is laughable sometimes but i think that is more to do with the database the questions come from and not the subjects themselves.
I think you are doing a great job but dont try and make it too much of a chore for yourself as it is supposed to be a bit of fun and the odd bit of rivalry ie Geordie versus the rest of us

I'm beginning to think not but I'd got the impression there were more complaints than normal in Shout Out
I'm happy to leave as is but if anyone has any comments pelase feel free to make them _________________ Cocktails may not be the answer.... but they help you forget the question Vodka... Cheaper than B otox and paralyses more muscles!
I only really like two subjects, but am happy to leave as is.
Everyone will have their favourites, and the ones they hate, but thats all part of the challenge. You don't learn anything otherwise. _________________ The Skanky's Mob Facebook Group......
Maybe you can all arange a quiz about the need for change
Maybe you should join in the quiz rather than be no help Mr SouthCoast! _________________ Cocktails may not be the answer.... but they help you forget the question Vodka... Cheaper than B otox and paralyses more muscles!
I find that the two M's, Music and Movies, are beyond me as I don't have a good memory for names nor do I listen to modern music. There will be times when they are old movies or older music so let's leave well enough alone. As regards moaning I don't moan, I make observations which can be misconstrued as moans but are mainly wind ups and cover ups for my inadequacies on these subjects. The one thing I would moan about, and do, is the fastest finger first, come on 10 in 36 and 38 seconds today must show how easy a subject is, I know I only got 9 but that could be down to trying to do things too quickly, it wasn't, but could have been. Seriously I love the quiz, especially yesterday when I was top, the first time for ages, so keep it going as is and ignore my "observations" _________________ WE ARE NOT STRANGERS, JUST FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
More a question as against feedback, if on the forum, when a poll is done, you can't be swayed by the vote so far as you don't see everything until you have made your vote. If the quiz worked on the same basis, then the element of surprise comes when you see how others have done.....after you have played, and not be influenced by high scores or quick speeds. I am prone to amnesia so we may have had the answer already and it can't be done. _________________ WE ARE NOT STRANGERS, JUST FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
