Announcing the VanaFest 2010 Twitter Trivia Contest! (02/19/2010)

[Taruchyaan]

There's no way to get the email address for a twitter account.

No way at all? Well there went that idea, but ty for letting me know. ;p

[Araelus]

IIRC when you check "let others find me by my email address" it makes your twitter email address public. This is how twitter can search an email address book and generate a contact list.

Also just got this while searching the help index

Twitter is over capacity.
Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.

lol it's all how we read it I suppose. And I'm not saying you're wrong, but that followup tweet is for everyone and not just the first five players that answer correctly, as they suggest.

Oh yes, I'm aware the follow-up tweet is for everyone. I was just pointing out that is what the 1 hour in the rules refers to.

What will be interesting is if an individual is within the top 5 correct answers for more than one question. Since it's possible they won't know until 'a later date'... winners could (and should) keep on posting answers. If someone's in the top 5 for more than one question, do they expand beyond 5 correct answers for some of those questions or is it just a dead spot since they likely won't allow someone to win more than once?

[Araelus]

Second responder this time, will let BG know if/when they contact me.

Woah, already 182+ replies.

[Not Kuno]

How did people even fucking know that one wtf

[Julian]

This is incredibly retarded lol

by the time I found the answer there were only 14 others up :< still too slow

[Buttons]

Was positive I made it this time, am 11th though. >.<

[Silenka]

I'm not doing the contest but ooc what have the questions been? They seem kind of random from the responses XD

[Zumi]

200 and something on that one

[Araelus]

I'm not doing the contest but ooc what have the questions been? They seem kind of random from the responses XD

Q1: This fiendish dungeon changes its layout each day to confuse would be treasure robbers.

Q2: Getting to the top of this mountain is no easy feat; but it's worth it to reach the Cradle of Rebirth.

Q3: Which former Minister Tarutaru defends Dr. Shantotto in the beginning of A Shantotto Ascension? (the only difficult one so far)

Q4: Name the only Chocobo Renter NPC whose name starts with the letter "Q".

[Silenka]

Thanks. Question 4 what the fuck.

[Serra]

Lol, people were talking on the first page that the questions were too easy, now they're too random/hard~

[Reapz]

I thought 4 was difficult haha, I had to wiki it

[Fawkes]

Question 4 is probably the only one I've really had a shot at so far because of it being easily searched for. If I hadn't hit enter to try to submit my answer I'd have been a second or two earlier and maybe been close to winning.

Hopefully they announce the winners in 30 minutes after they announce the final answer.

[Araelus]

Lol, people were talking on the first page that the questions were too easy, now they're too random/hard~

They're still asking questions that can be searched quickly. Q4 got 200 replies in 80 seconds. They need to point towards non-indexed solutions.

"Who was the tenth ruler of San d'Oria?" requires knowledge that was in old Vana'diel Tribune issues, but which issue?

other example Realized people could guess the color, bad idea on my part.

[Vedder]

If you have to Wiki it, it's auto-fail. On question 4 I had no idea, of course, so I went to Wiki and by the time I posted I was the 35th correct response. Haha.

[Zumi]

I was over 200 had to look at Wiki on #4.

[Seyrr]

Ah, thanks for the link

No notification as of yet.

Hooray, I'm number one! >.> Now I can actually get work done this week! No notification yet though.

[MaachaQ]

I was half asleep for the last question, had to wiki it and came up with the wrong name... I completely slept through my alarm for the 3rd question too...

I don't know how I'm gonna make it for the next few days unless I nap half the afternoon away...

[Not Kuno]

I had to wiki all of them lol

well except first cause I missed that one
