Hey all,
Been a while since we posted any competition to run along side the usual Gaming Awards.
We were originally planning on this being a Christmas quiz, but decided a yearly 2013 would be better.
I'll be posting the link to the questions tomorrow morning, whereby users will have 1 week to answer and get back to us (subject to change based on demand etc).
The prize will be 2 Gaming Awards, and anyone is welcome. Hopefully we can get some friends and family joining in.
-----------
RULES
-----------
Obviously standard 'moral' rules apply. No cheating or gathering answers from outside sources.
Obviously we can not prevent this fully, but we have put some rather clever methods in place to make this sort of activity much more noticeable to us in marking.
1) Visit the link provided below to get to the quiz.
2) Once there Read the site rules
3) You will be asked for your Freeola ID and email. Use your actual forum id and email you used to sign up with us.
4) Press start and enjoy your 11 minutes of fun!
5) The quiz will be open until 29th Jan.

WINNING

The winner will be picked based on highest score.
This will be decided and announced on Jan 31st (2014)
In the event of a drawn score, the tiebreaker 'guess' will be used.

Yup, certainly seems a little slow to me too...[/i]
It's as I've always said ... Freeola's 'image' folders especially 4 and 5 seem to be the 'bottleneck' at times

'That site' is not run by us so is nothing to do with our Images server.

So if 'that site' is not run by Freeola ... why do we subscribers have to put up with it then?

I wasn't aware a subscription was required to do the Freeola Quiz but I guess it's a site that allows people to put a quiz together fairly quickly without having to spend time coding it up and it was probably fine while Warhunt was writing the questions.
The site makes it incredibly easy to do the quizzes in a nice format within a very short set up time. It's really quite a nice site. As I intend to be doing quizzes more often, it's a given.
During all of my testing, over the course of a week or so the site has had no speed issues, and no downtime.
Once the test is loaded the 11 minutes will be done regardless of slow loading. It will not effect the time limit.
EDIT: Also note that no subscription to the quiz site is required.

I never had a problem with the site itself doing the quiz, just my brain, my speed of typing and my wife interrupting me!
Perhaps some of my 'thoughts' could be considered in the light of this ...

Why is your 'avatar' still wearing a Christmas hat, WH?

Wow, what an awful article. It hypes on about 12 points it seems fit (which are mostly entirely opinionated and hipster) then proceeds to actually break them itself >_<
Example: Point 1 being 'clutter' yet their site looks like someone has taken a HTML blender to a white background.
Also it's still wearing the hat as I want it to. I actually noticed this myself yesterday, but I really don't want to change it as I like little Samuel (which is the dragons name).
