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.

In the event of a drawn score, the tiebreaker 'guess' will be used.

@rfeltz ... When you get the chance ... please remember us all to Vanessa :¬)
2nd place, not too bad, congrats rfeltz. Hope you enjoyed the sillier answers for stuff I didn't know - always try and amuse (assuming the answers were read, of course).
If i'd not spent time thinking and spent it googling answers I didn't know I probably would have won ;)

Ok so the results are in, and quite surprising.
First of though I want to preface this by saying that the site chose worked pretty well in my opinion, but maybe the format did not.
The timer is pretty much required, as I really don't want it to be a prize for who can Google the best.
I'm going to be doing more of these hopefully, so I'll review again for next time.

Just a day left people.
Any one who wants a chance, give it shot quick. And trust me, it seems you will have a GOOD shot :D

As far as my position on the leaderboard is concerned..
I've got a bad feeling about this!

Have to agree, slightly OTT.

Outdated Web Features ... remove in 2014
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).
