XJ Summer giveaway - Live quiz

By ShoCkrecord holder Tournament #2 VIP·
Hey guys, hope you don't mind a small shake-up.

As you figured out from the title, we decided to organize a giveaway event but in a kind of special form this time. No matter how good you are at jumping because what you need is to enrich your knowledge stock in the scope of kz history, because knowledge is your weapon this time. Briefly, around 30 questions about small and not-so-small kz facts is what awaits you. We have currently got 6 steam games to giveaway and the list looks like it:

  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Standard Edition two copies

  • Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition

  • Secret of the Magic Crystal

  • Anomaly: Warzone Earth

  • Metro 2033


Based on your winning position, you'll be priviliged to choose your game on your own.

Since the quiz is going to have a live character, it's very important to steer clear of the messy chat for the sake of us all. Perfectly, the chat should look like "questions-answer-question...". The first to answer correct receives one point. Be careful with your answers and keep them in a complete form.

Meet you on our IRC server on Wednesday 24th, at 18:00 GMT +1.

Update: Thanks to yeans who made an IRC quiz bot specifically for this event. It's supposed to ease the process for both us, admins and you, users. Check out the command list:

  • !repeat // Requests the bot to repeat the question

  • !rank // Requests the bot to show your rank position X/XX

  • !top // Requests the bot to show the best of top5

  • !version // Requests the current version of the bot


Don't miss it, we're coming very soon!

Yeah, would be cool to know the question

24/07/2013 22:05:00

DAMN I FORGOT! :( Like shNz said: I want to know the questons! Good job remake! :first:

24/07/2013 22:52:00

Some questions were very good like 'who first did goldbhop under 1:40secs?" or " -insert name- did it" , "who found DCJ?" or who first did 250 lj block, or even 'which map has been most recorded(kz_nolve i think).... but questions like "who is the first Izrael player who has wr?" or "who said some stupid thing(answer was LyNn)"...thats for no comment lol

24/07/2013 23:20:00

The question was "Who has been so far the only Israeli player to hold a world record?", which imo is relates pretty well to kz history (s1gh was still around in 2008-2009). And no question had Lynn as an answer - I think you mean the question "Who said "impossible but very very hard"?", which was pretty well-known all around the community a few years ago and was also featured in the latest community update. Though I agree it doesn't have much to do with kz history. Congratulations to the winners! It was really fun, hope we get to see another quiz in the future :)

24/07/2013 23:53:00

imposible but very hard was answered ted, but it wasn't aproved, don't know why, but it doesn't matter now...and lynn was for answer, really, on ~22 question, maybe it was so stupid so you don't remember at all, but good job for knowing kz history and fast fingers! :D

25/07/2013 00:14:00

There indeed was a question about LyNn. I took a quote from the thread he made on forums, which many people considered amusing and unusual. Look at how popular this thread was not that long ago and you might come to acknowledge that it was a worthy shot. Well basically with that question I wanted to bring the feeling of diversity and was aiming on a vast follower who visits forums as often as he does other stuff on XJ. I see now I might not have succeeded at all, so I'm taking it into account.I personally still find s1gh question quite reasonable and remake kinda explained my point. It didn't mean to be about big facts only (records, maps, movies), but about some known stuff someone ever said or something been made, which echo has been dwelling around for times. Limbo, the correct answer was TEDY, not ted. You've been told that a few times but you don't seem to grasp it. I wanted to make a log file with the chat since it was quite engrossing but as I found, like 80 of all chat has been gone from my irc window. I'll ask the guys if someone saved it, if not I'll still post question to answer list. Thanks for your feedback, we'll think about possible quizzes in future.

25/07/2013 01:25:00

also shock... explain more about dcj... its founded by eDarK, FoF just did first rec of dcj 267... Why dont i get a point for that? Isnt its called eDark jump - dcj ? ;)

25/07/2013 03:52:00

shock, it's okey now... just to make a resume - about stupid questions i didn't talked from my subject opinion, it was from people from irc...and just one question, when will be the next same cup? (if it would be)

25/07/2013 15:36:00

@Viglioshius - DCJ it's a acronym of Double Count Jump. :D

25/07/2013 17:24:00

Hmmm I'm really not sure man, I think fof is still the one to be considered a pioneer in that technique. I'll take a deeper look into the fact later.

25/07/2013 21:30:00

it was nice idea with that live quiz. Didn't know answers for 6 questions hehe.

I lol'd so hard on "Mukanks" by Viglioshious and also lol'd at my self saying "Ernest jump"

25/07/2013 22:25:00

Haha, the MuskaOtik question was good. Wish I had saved the chat history!

25/07/2013 23:09:00

Damn yes!

26/07/2013 19:08:00

these questions are pretty interesting :)

26/07/2013 19:44:00

Well it still was fof assuming what oldschool people say, also it's always been considered fof, you just mixed things up in my mind.

08/06/2014 17:35:00

i move to kzmod but anyway :D
