OT Fighting you, Marg

OK, I started the Global challenge today; the first time on day 1. We should be around most of the winter, so may the games play on. Joining us Cheryl, Trish et al??

I won't get far - if the new job, I won't be able to take all the available times.

But lets see who gets the furthest. I'm made to level 9 I think...

Cheryl

Which global challenge? How do I get there?

NB. We really need more players for the trivia mavens of rctn as well!

At the top of the "Trivia mavens of RCTN" page go to Games . The first game listed is Global challenge.

It is fun; this time they are only changing the questions twice a day, so it is easier to get them all done. They get progressively harder as you go up the levels. Times help with the points, but you've gotta have the question correct first, though!

Last winter Cheryl and I both got to level 9, although Cheryl was ahead of me. In the summer I didn't have much chance to play, and only made it to level 5.

I've been doing the Weekly Knockout. I'll try to do the RCTN on my way there. Not sure if I can add the Global Challenge too!

Linda

I thought I was doing good yesterday with a score of 1754, but got knocked out by someone with over 1900 points! He/she must have been a lot faster than me.

Gill

Me, too - I've been playing the Global Challenge. I also started, for the first time yesterday, the Knockout Challenge. Managed to get through to day two. Wonder if I'll win today's bout.

BTW - Cheryl created a monster when she got me playing these games. I'm now in fifth spot in my class, and rank as 783rd out of almost 100,000 players.

Yup, I noticed that you are on there quite a bit LOL. It *is* addictive, though; my stitching time decreased as I got more into Trivia! This summer, without Internet readily vailable, and slow if it was, I got several little things finished!

Gill

I am # 19 of 10,000 in my class, and # 3,409 of 939,953 ranking quiz players worldwide.

I cut and pasted, couldn't remember the silly numbers!

Got to get back to work, and get the house ready for the cleaning lady, who comes after lunch. It does make me pick things up, and put them away at least once a month!

Proudly taking her curtain call

If we're bragging Your score of 142200 points ranks you # 26 of 10,000 players in your class

Grin - , you're welcome (I think).

MargW

Definitely, addictive. I usually start my morning with my coffee in front of the computer. I check e-mail, newsgroups, and then FunTrivia. Once I've done the daily quizzes, I try to do all the hourly ones. I try to make myself log off and go do something else. It's a good thing I'm working a couple of days a week. However, I will quite often check just to see where I am in my group ranking for the day.

I like to 'run' a category in the quizzes, which helps run my points up very quickly.

MargW

I think I'm in the 50 range. I was surprised I won my round yesterday

- I scored miserably. Some days they have a bunch of sci-fi questions and/or soccer questions. I just guess on those. Today, though, I got

20/20 and 1800+.

Linda

I've lost/forgotten my user id and password for Funtrivia. Emails to retrieve 'em never arrive. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheryl.....she needs your help, team leader!!

First, have you checked your FunTrivia mail box?

Go to

formatting link
look in the upper right hand corner for your ID and see if you have mailthere.

Otherwise, email me off list and I'll send you direct mail to "rejoin". You might need to create a new id, but I'm sure you'll be able to manage that.

Cheryl

Off to play the next round of Global Challenge

I very stupidly ignored this thread for a bit, so I was late starting this time. It must be interesting to be in there right from the beginning.

I go and check how I'm doing against other people from my part of the world (Victoria, Australia) every day or 2 as well as seeing which of us have got the highest scores recently.

I've had a real struggle finding 5 categories I could do well enough.

I don't do General because I think all the real experts do it and if I get matched with them and do badly, I go down in the variation from

1500 thingy. That's where I'm aiming to get as high a score as possible.

I did well in that area in Global Challenges 2 & 3 and I think I was only doing 3 to 4 categories and definitely found it hard to get to more than twice a day. :)

Stick with your strengths and do do the Impossible and Brain Twist. They can only help you.

Cheryl

.On a related note - I won my first weekly knockout challenge this week!

Yeah!
