_______________________________________________________________________________
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.

I g2g somewhere. I'll post the rest later :P
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.
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).
By the way I guess I can let this rule slide a bit:
- 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.
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) ??
6g) ??

Idk, are any of those answers right?
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.
Also, users would be giving me their e-mail address and they may not be comfortable with that.
If they care about this quiz they can use disposable addresses or alts.
