    The quiz was a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever failed so badly at anything in my life, but I really enjoyed it!

    Quiz highlights were definitely those first two questions, and Gaia coming out of nowhere to backhand Penwize. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.
    NEW QUESTION: "In the last 30 days, who has posted the most on the Achaea forums? (one word)"

    CORRECT ANSWER: "Xith"

    By far my favourite moment.

  • JurixeJurixe Where you least expect it
    I woke up at 5 am for no reason, saw the quiz announcement, fell back asleep, and woke up an hour later just in time for it so I joined and just vaguely hoped I would at least place, but wasn't really hopeful about it. At the last question I was in 8th place, and I was thinking 'oh man I need to get this question right to even place in the prize category'.

    And then 'Sarapis sets the point value for the next question at 7 points' (keep in mind the average was 3-4 before) and I'm like 'oh no I'll never get it now, it's going to be some ridiculous question no one's ever heard of'.

    AND TURNS OUT it was a question that I had actually anticipated beforehand and was the only one who got it right! :D

    All in all really pleased I managed to place, enjoyed the quiz and hope there'll be more in the future!

    I had a lot of fun with the quiz as well. I found out about it like 45 minutes before it started, and definitely didn't think I was going to win it. Didn't realize there was a prize until after it was over, either, so all around a welcome surprise.

    I certainly would have gotten it wrong had I not been able to sit down and add them up before asking the question. Nicely done!

    I found out about the quiz about two minutes before it started and then had to run my ass back from Meropis in a mad dash to attend.

    I'm just glad I got two questions right, teach me not to play for something like eight years.

    I am really going to read every damn page of that wiki.  :)]

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...

    I will update your wiki for 1cr per article.

    Wait no that's peanuts. 100cr per article.

    If only the wiki actually had real detail about most of the things that have happened in Achaea. It is disappointingly sparse!
    We really need more people to update it. It used to have a lot of activity with Aztecia and Corvax, Delphinus, Krypton, Madelyne, and others all over the 'recent changes' page (and of course Linian) editing things. Now it's pretty dead. 

    It's weird because it's peer reviewed but basically anyone with a character account can update a page.

    Not gonna say what happened, but I feel like a total badass. Hell yeah!

    @Ourania, your time and efforts are appreciated more than you know!

    Also, this quiz -even if I only heard of it from others - has me excited for the upcoming y650 games. I missed out on y600 since I started playing around that time!

    There used to be a Chroniclers clan for people who updated the wiki, so there was a sense of community, mutual encouragement, and mild exclusivity and elitism. No actual rewards. There were Gods overseeing it, presumably to ensure it didn't reach Wikipedian levels of byzantine bureaucratic madness. I assume activity dwindled over time; I know I got tired of it after doing about ten three pages.

    That clan was abolished, editing was opened up to everyone, and... nobody was actually interested in doing it. It's a time-consuming and thankless chore, so maybe it shouldn't be surprising that very few people are interested in doing it. Kudos to the tenacious few who feature on the Recent Changes page.

    I just decided to go venture on to other IRE forums to see what's up.

    I think Achaea is doing okay for the most part.

    I know we got our problems... and our problem players... but you guys are pretty good at not being completely self-entitled douchenuggets. You seem to want to bring a little bit of funny to the rage, rather than just kick the other guy while he's down. Well. Except @Strata and Ashtan's opinion of Targossas. But everyone hates that guy and at least one of those cities, so who cares.

    Anyway. Shout out to you guys. Thanks for not being complete assholes. Have a Mass Effect inspired Valentine's day card a day early (for most of us):

    We got to have one guy be the scapegoat, @Dalran. Strata offered himself willingly to take one for the team!
    But gosh darn it, if there do exist some people who just can't handle the uniqueness of your snowflake...

    Tecton can be president when they code it so that speaking will be correctly colored within emotes  :P

    But yes, this is definitely awesome!

    We've made it easier to select the perfect emote for any situation! Now you can SHOWEMOTE 
    <emote> to see what it will look like to you, the person you're doing the emote to, and to 
    people in the room. No more fumbling with WAVE when you really meant WAVEHI or HI!

    Penned by My hand on the 4th of Lupar, in the year 647 AF.

    Tecton for president. Can this include the custom emotes, to make sure the complex ones (like acting with sit: or give:) turn out okay?


    --- <-- quotes are super borken D:
    I think the complex ones with sit etc actually fail if they turn out wonky. Maybe. Or I've been repeatedly spammng emotes to everyone else's secret laughter and derision until I get it right D:
