    Haha of the three questions I got right I completely guessed two and googled the third.
  • MarcellaMarcella
    All the first ones I would have got right...

    Curse my inability to show up on time.
  • UshaaraUshaara Schrödinger's Traitor
    Would have definitely fallen for the last god to splinter trap.

    Congratulations Arcanis! And thanks, Ix!
  • XanwardXanward
    Well...I could have answered one....thanks for sharing, though! Really interesting to learn more lore stuff.
  • SynkarinSynkarin Nothing to see here
    (I don't know if Marcella knows that because she won a Seal, she can't technically compete and win anything else this year, except in War)

    Everiine said:
    "'Cause the fighting don't stop till I walk in."
    -Synkarin's Lament.
  • MarcellaMarcella
    Could win credits, I thought?
  • SynkarinSynkarin Nothing to see here
    Nope - you won already, so besides War, you can't compete in anything else.

    RIP my plan to fund classflexing

    I'm curious as to who got the Boljo question, because I never ever pay attention to the year events occur in. Maybe that's just me.

    Once you win a seal you can't win anything else except for credits in war.

    No one got the Boljo question.

    I think the closest anyone guessed was within 20 years.

    This quiz was punishingly hard, with a number of questions dependent on having completed quests, one of them locked behind Dreamweaving, and then one that I think you would have literally had to have been a part of a 3+ year-old event to have gotten.

    Grats to anyone who got any number of the questions, because this quiz came straight from hell. Consider that Arcanis scored 21 out of 50-something points. Janderi question is missing a value, but I think it was 4 points for a total of 57 points possible in the quiz, meaning he won with 37%.
  • ZagreusZagreus
    Not sure how that got deleted. It was a 4 point question, fixed.

  • DrocillaDrocilla
    Out of curiosity, which one do you think required one to have participated in an event 3 years ago @Thul?
  • ThulThul
    Hmm. Well, there was some confusion about the Tompen ail'an one. Thought that was in reference to an earlier Tree of Trees event, but on re-reading now, outside the panic of the Seal challenge, it looks like it was the most recent Maeve event.

    I still don't have any idea where I would've found that bit of information, though.
  • DrocillaDrocilla
    Indeed, this is from the recent event. Organisations (not just communes) have been made aware of the phrase, it was a thing for a while. I imagine no one will ask this question next year because there is no firm documentation but this year it was deemed fair game.
  • ZagreusZagreus
    edited February 2016
    Honestly I am completely shocked no one got that one. I ran out of time typing it but we had a few fights when we tried to sneak in letters (and did!) to put some brutal memories in there. Even before that, communes held that secret for a good while.

    Amongst communes it should have been common knowledge IMO.

    Edit: on that note, any chance @Drocilla that we could see the memories? We put some hilarious stuff in there, and I'm sure others put some touching things in too. It would be neat to be able to see what they all were. A  lot of people missed out on seeing any at all.

  • VivetVivet , of Cows and Crystals
    I'm really happy to see these. Thanks!
  • CyndarinCyndarin used Flamethrower! It was super effective.
    After having read all of these, I would have scored exactly zero points.

  • TarkentonTarkenton Traitor Bear
    I think I would have managed one. Mayyyyyyyyybe two.

  • AerdurethAerdureth
    The only point I got was for the question with the head...though I forgot that it was his own. And I only got that because I read through the post since I wanted to know more about the Maeve. The next time, I'll really prepare for it.

    Thank you very much for posting the answers!
