Happy New Year & Competition

[stivsama]

email me when I win, ok.. That flashcart is going to be mine!
*begins "willing" the cart to himself*
*chants mantra "I hope I win, I hope I win.."*

I hope the "checker(?)" isn't too strict with the answers, and treat the questions AS IS, meaning all of it will just rely on it being tricky, you know? Or maybe my answers won't get chosen in the "raffle.." Aiyaiaiaiai!

my ultimate resolution this year is staying alive/preventing death, basically..

edit: for once in my life, I'm hoping Tempest is, you know, WRONG..

 

[Costello]

the "checker" is a PHP and SQL script

made by me and ------ (someone else who doesn't like people to mention his name

)

don't worry, there WILL be a winner.
and staff members can't win the competition.

For question 3, you should add in that Supervisors is part of staff.
I think...if they are...because only admins, moderators, and global mods are listed under staff, as said from the question.

Oh yeah, and resolution?
Try to learn how to play guitar and learn C++.
Big emphasis on try. Really

I barely have time everyday, seeing I come home at 7PM.
That and probably to cut down on the swearing and profanities.
...

Like that's gonna ever happen

Happy New Year all!

I think some of the questions deserve clarification or at least rephrasing...

I don't understand this...English.
What is it?

Am I speaking this...English...correctly?

Another crazy resolution is to spend one whole day talking Spanish. This shall, in consequence, drive all of my teachers, friends, and family to go crazy. Unless they are Spanish...or know Spanish...or is my Spanish teacher.

Fission:

the questions have been written so as to be understandable even by foreigners (people from non english-speaking countries)
I'm french and I was the one who wrote the questions, with shaun and the other person I mentioned in my post above.
The questions have been posted on the staff forum, and we've been discussing them a lot. They have been rephrased many times, we wanted them to be neither too easy, nor too hard.

By clarification I meant, some questions are vague - the staff one, the GBA release date one.

The GBA release date question fails to mention in which territory the GBA release date they are referring to.
So people could give the European release date, and others could give the USA or Jap release date.

So I take it any of the release dates for each territory are valid?

I can't clarify the Staff one seeing as it's already done.

 

[djgarf]

having a few vague questions is all part of the fun

The question asks "What year", not "What exact date"....

Regardless of where it was released the answer would be the same...

nice to see irc mentioned somewhere in all of this...

Question #6 On what IRC Network can our friends of #GBAtemp be found?

indeed, "friends". let's this clarify that situation as well. as far as the contest goes, let's hope everyone plays fairly and isn't
using the pm system to cheat and such (costello will check for that im sure, if the winner got any pm'd answers before awarding the prize)...and happy new year to all .. come bullshit/chat/leech with us on irc sometime friends, we won't bite, promise..

 

[Gaisuto]

Guah..having trouble with #9. I got the rest of em though...

 

[IxthusTiger]

Aw man, I think I got the staff one wrong according to Tempest

I only put what the question asked for.

 

[megabug7]

Man...!

I just realized I got question #4 wrong!!

*curses*

 

[Gaisuto]

HA HA! Got em all. *Dances*

indeed, we are not the big bad ogres some people make us out to be

 

[ReyVGM]

Some questions are indeed vague.
I see that staff question got 'fixed', it wasn't like that when I filled the form...

On that VBA question, 'Who was the original VBA author', that 'original' word makes it sound like a trick question

 

[Gaisuto]

So...anyone else fill it in and send them in?
*Thinks I have a pretty decent chance...

 

[gunner6666]

Aw man, I think I got the staff one wrong according to Tempest

same here...... is there a way to void it and start over?

 

[face_kicker]

Uh...I'm confused on the "Total number of pixels" question and the "What is the exact ROM serial of GBA release Ninja Five-0 (U)" Those are the two I can't figure out at all. Oh well...I guess I'll just have to buy another X-Rom thingy.

---
Also...on the release date question...on the site here or GBA scene release? I hate to be annoying like this and all. Apoligies to anyone I Might be pissing off.

---
To hell with it...I don't care...I got them all except the pixel question...I'm gonna be satisfied with that

. Happy New Year to all!!
