Welcome to the Know Your Armor Games Quiz, a quiz that tests your knowledge of Armor Games.

The Rules: The Quiz:
- Answer as many questions as possible.
- You do not have to answer all of the questions from memory.
- All the questions have a point value indicated in brackets to the right of the question number.
- There is no penalty for getting a question wrong or skipping a question, so don't be afraid to guess.
- Answer a question correct to get the points for that question.
- There are a total of 55 questions and 172 total points.
- The winner is the user with the most points.

The Rules: How to Submit Answers:
- To submit your answers simply copy the questions from the original post and put the answers underneath each question. Then post your answers (the questions with the answers beneath them) to this thread (before the deadline).
(You may also submit your answers by just numbering them. But they must be numbered in an easy to read way and the numbers, to the answers, must corresponded to the proper questions.)
- There is a 10 point penalty if you do not post your answers to the questions in a proper format (under the questions or with the corresponding numbers).
- Submit all your answers in one post.
- You can only submit your answers once, so be careful before you submit them. Look over your answers thoroughly before submitting.
- There is a 10 point penalty if you do not post your answers to the questions in a proper format.

The Rules: No Cheating:
- Don't cheat. If you copy and paste another users answers you are cheating. I should be able to tell if you are cheating.
- If you are expected of cheating and want to dispute it, you may e-mail me at KnowYourAGQ@hushmail.com and we will discuss it.

The Rules: The Prizes (Winning):
- The prize for winning the challenge is a 640 x 800 jpeg, graphic art, trophy image, made in GIMP by me, and customized with the winners user name. It will be posted on the forum in this topic.
- The winner may feel free to save the image to their hard drive and use it as they wish.
- If there are multiple winners I will just post one generic trophy in this thread and then list all the winners underneath and congratulate them or something like that.
- This contest is unofficial. So there is no merit prize.

The Rules: Deadline:
- The deadline will be on January 8, 2010 9AM (Pacific Time Zone UTC -8:00) (5pm UTC-0:00)
The deadline may be extended. If your submission is late don't worry. If I haven't posted the winners submit your answers anyway.

- If you have any further questions feel free to ask them in this thread or e-mail me at KnowYourAGQ@hushmail.com (I may not respond right away on the e-mail).

- Many thanks to Strop who inspired this quiz, allowed me to use some of his questions, and proof read the quiz.

It occurs to me just now that there are a few "unspoken" rules on the forums, some of which should not be said at various times. For example if somebody is spamming on a thread or reviving it or basically doing something they shouldn't on it, we prefer users not to point it out on the thread itself but directly to a moderator. But I'm not sure if that's what the quiz is getting at.

- You can only submit your answers once, so be careful before you submit them. Look over your answers thoroughly before submitting.

I guess I can let submit more answers to question you haven't answered in other posts, but if you change an answer I will probably have to accept your first one and it will make it harder for me to grade the quizzes with multiple posting from one user.

Hmm, I didn't think of that. I'll just accept more than just the original answer I had.

I know the deadline is awhile away (hopefully I didn't set it at too late of a date. If Armor Games V3 launches before the deadline for the quiz and the forums don't migrate, well just guess what will happen). \r\n\r\nBy the way I guess I can let this rule slide a bit:\r\n\r\n[quote]- You can only submit your answers once, so be careful before you submit them.

1a) Rate a game, comment on a game, comment on a profile, submit a game, earn a merit

1b) Help and AGFAQ

1c) Referrals, but I dunno how much they were worth

2a) Mods and Admins (contest leaders can indirectly by declaring that they deserve a merit :3

2b) a great review on a game, winning a contest

2c)

3a) They say 7 words, but that's debatable

3b) Trolling is provoking an attack upon a user to get them to attack back. This is so they themselves get into trouble. Flaming is an outright burst of attacks upon anyone.

3c) Err...off-topic posting?

3d) I know that you can't post saying that a post is spam, a thread needs to be locked, moved, etc. Basically a user should not backseat mod

4a) MRWalker82, Gantic, Cenere, Strop, Asherlee, NoNameC68, Zophia, Devoidless

4b) DanielMcNeely, John, Carlie, jroyster22, lroot, caffeine101, cormyn, nexcessadmin, joeybetz, Tony. Would ConArtists and Krin show up as green? Or blue? Anywhoo, it's not that hard to c/p the about page :O

4c) Asherlee is one. I dunno the others

4e) I say Cormyn is.

5a) Games of Gondor

5b) Mostly related to Lord of the Rings

5c) Copyright issues

5d) ??

5e) Elf Girl Sim Date RPG. Man, I used to play this all the time when I was 13. I had no clue that this was part of a site that would grow into AG where I would stay for quite a long time!

5f) Well if you take a look, the loading is based off the name of the site, which has the fabled ring. This one has "loading the preloader!" before it actually loads. The music has an upbeat drum sound before cascading into some sort of explosion, while the game starts to load. Games of Gondor would show right in the middle with the ring shining.

6a) ??

6b) Daniel McNeely

6c) I'm gonna go with The Mind Bender

6d) ??

6e) ??

6f) ??

Time to uh.. yeah you get the drill.

Question 1: Armor Points

1a.) [2 pts] In what five ways can you earn armor points and how many points does each way yield? (1 pt if all four ways are named correctly. 1 pt if all the points values for the four ways are correct. 2 pts total if both are correct.)

- The five current methods of earning AP are rating a game (2 AP), commenting on a game or a profile (2 AP), posting in the forums (excluding FG and Newcomers, 1 AP), having your game submitted to AG (20 AP) and earning a merit (25 AP).

1b.) [2 pts] What page shows you how you can earn armor points and how much they are worth?

The help page. This is the specific section of that page which includes information concerning AP.

1c.) [3 pts] There used to be one additional way to gain armor points. What was it and how many points did it yield? (Entire answer must be correct to gain points.)

There used to be referrals given to users who brought another user to the site. Each would be worth 10 AP.

Question 2: Merits

2a.) [1 pt] Who can give out a merit?

Moderators and administrators.

2b.) [2 pts] In what two ways can a user earn a merit? (1 pt for each way.)

The two remaining ways of earning a merit are through well written game reviews and for winning a merit approved contest (Haiku, Poetry, etc.)

2c.) [3 pts] There used to be an additional way to gain merits. In what way could you gain it?

If my memory serves me correctly, there used to be debate merits. Of course, I wasn't there myself but lurking around AG pays dividends.

Question 3: Things a User Shouldn't Do

3a.) [1 pt] A post should be at longer than these many words before it is not considered spam?

The accepted requirement is 5-7 words.

3b.) [1 pt] What is the difference between trolling and flaming?

A troll is someone who roams the interwebz with the intention of
disrupting discussions by causing provocative reactions through the use of offensive behavior. Trolling is what trolls do. Trolls often harass to elicit a desired response from unwitting victims.

Flaming refers to heated abuse between people online. Flaming often occurs over some sort of disagreement over an issue, or some other gripe. It isn't done with the intention of trolling: lulz.

3c.) [2 pts] What is it called when a user changes (or tries to change) the subject of a thread?

Thread hijacking.

3d.) [2 pts] There is an "unspoken" rule on Armor Games. What is it? (Hint: It's something you should not post about.)

Everything should be PG-13.

Question 4: Administrators and Moderators

4a.) [1 pts] Who is on the current moderation team?

Current mod team: MRWalker82, Gantic, Cenere, Strop, Zophia, Devoidless, NoNameC68, Asherlee.

4b.) [3 pts] List all of the (active and inactive) Administrators from the site (including the site founder). (Hint: If they were to post it would show up in green.) (Entire list must be correct to earn points.)

caffeine101
cormyn
John
Carlie
jroyster22
lroot
joeybetz
Tony
DanielMcNeely

I don't know about others.. or my memory must be failing.

4c.) [3 pts] Who were the original moderators of Armor Games?

Dank, Asherlee and Carlie.

4d.) [4 pts] One of the original moderators temporarily became an admin-level user. Who was it, and on which continent did they live? (2 pts for the right name. 2 pts for the correct continent. 4 pts if both are correct.)

My guess is Dank. He lived in Europe is my other guess. (Very unsure.)

4e.) [2 pts] Who has effectively taken Carlie's place with an official staff position at the Armor Games office?

Cormyn.

Question 5: Armor Games before it was Armor Games

5a.) [3 pts] What was the name of Armor Games before it was Armor Games?

Games of Gondor.

5b.) [3 pts] What type of Games did it host? (Hint: Most of them had a common theme that related to something.)

Lord of the Rings themed games.

5c.) [3 pts] Why was the sites named changed from what it was to what it is now (Armor Games)?

5d.) [3 pts] When did the original site launch? (The site that was not named Armor Games) (Month and year, but the day can be listed as well.)

March 2004.

5e.) [5 pts] Name one game from the original site? (The site that was not named Armor Games).

Elf Girl Sim Date RPG. One of GoG's more memorable games.

5f.) [5 pts] What did the typical preloader screen, for the games, look like that was used in the original site? (The site that was not named Armor Games). (Give a description of what it looked like, not a picture.)

A plainly colored background would appear. A shortly drum beat loop would play, followed by the appearance of a ring and the text "Games of Gondor". The ring is stylized as the letter "o" in "of". Thereafter, the game would pop up.

Question 6: Armor Games Version 1 and Armor Games Version 2

6a.) [3 pts] What four people were part of the original Armor Games Version 2 Team?

Daniel McNeely, John, Tony and Krin.

6b.) [3 pts] Who is the founder of Armor Games (This person was also the founder of Armor Games before it was called Armor Games)?

Daniel McNeely

6c.) [2 pts] What is the earliest uploaded, still playable, game hosted on Armor Games? (The "oldest" game, still playable, on the site.)

The Mind Bender.

6d.) [3 pts] What was the first game-based contest which actually gave away tangible prizes?

The Obsessive Compulse Contest, I presume.

6e.) [3 pts] Who wrote the game for the first game-based contest which actually gave away tangible prizes?

John (jmtb02) did develop the game Compulse.

6f.) [5 pts] Name the Grand Prize for winning the tournament of the first game-based contest that gave away tangible prizes? ( There were five prizes in the grand prize. 1 pt for each prize answered correctly.)

As I quote from my source.

1 iPod Shuffle (1GB) and a $25 itunes gift card.
2 Ball Revamped Squishy Balls.
25 stickers.

I want to add more to my last post.

I did consider that, but you get what I'm saying. Also I could have had people e-mail the answers to me, but then the thread wouldn't stay up at the top 9current) in the forums. Also, users would be giving me their e-mail address and they may not be comfortable with that.

I would do it , but I won't. I'm too lazy sorry.

Well like the art contests, there's no need to tell me you are not going to do it. Just simply not do it.

my answers are the same as mrtim's.

That's great, but your going to have to actually post them and if they are word for word, you will be disqualified.
