Talk:Mabinogi Quiz Show (Mar. 2011)

In addition to having them in the list, we should put a section above the list with all the questions that are factually incorrect or for which the game accepts the wrong answer. For quick perusal and memorization. Aye?

It would mess people up if we had a section within the same page. Ctrl + F would get that section which could ruin someone's chances of getting the right answer.

Not that this is at all relevant anymore, but no, it wouldn't, not if the questions were only in the list once.

I think this would be a good idea to do only after the event.

I'm pretty sure the event starts at the same time across multiple channels. It's just that the servers managing some of the channels fall behind or get ahead of the other servers, which causes it to seem to start at different times. Just check the clock after you CC and see if it's within 10-20 mins of the channel you just left. Like on Ruairi, ch 4 was lagging about 2 hours behind ch 6 in-game a maintenance ago.. and there was that time where ch 2 was a whole 16 mins behind the other 6 channels (infinite mana tunnel lol)

That would make sense if Mabi's servers modeled Erinn time off of a mapping between real-world time and time of day/date in-game, but I don't think that's the case... it seems more likely that the clock position is calculated when the server's initialized and then incremented at a constant rate, which both explains why desynchronization occurs and why the amount of it varies across servers (whose individual loads fluctuate during the day)

Just my $.02

Edit: okay, yeah, now they're noticeably spaced apart. Lost early on on ch T-06 and had enough time to get to the T-02 quiz field before it started there. I guess the servers' timefail will continue to be a mystery.

good for us <3

There seem to be a case of multiple people vandalizing the correct answers and placing them into the wrong spot in order to mislead people who followed the website. Had anyone else also been called out of the game because of this reason?

I think it's time to place a lock on this page to prevent anymore vandalism, and only allow the people who are trustworthy to edit.

Just my inquiry.

I believe several of these aren't vandalism, but weird questions like the one with Pierrick thinking he's an eligible bachelor; for some reason, they're registering as opposite of what research shows, possibly due to very small differences in the appearance of the question and a failure on Nexon's part to fact-check (or even to double-check that they had no repeated questions). For instance, I could swear that I actually *did* see a question regarding Dorren and a mole near her mouth come up as "true."

On the other hand, there's the person who deliberately wiped the whole list of questions 3 times.

1) F%#! dynamic reply boxes, you lose all your text when you accidentally leave the page.

2) I think this is just a case of people not reporting questions accurately enough. If everyone who wished to contributed used FRAPS or something similar, I don't think we'd have nearly as many problems. (The case with the questions about Pierrick as an example, those would have been noticed instantly rather than debated over for a couple days.)

3) I'm pretty sure we have 90-95% of the questions listed by now. We should just be finalizing the list at this point, I think.

Unless the page starts receiving consistent vandalism such as the page wiping last night or quite a few people begin [suspiciously] switching a multitude of questions around, it doesn't need to be locked. Just keep a close eye on those edits when you can.

Since a lot of people has neglected to edit this page properly, whether this is due to inability to follow the editing courtesy, or other factors, I thought I should set up an unofficial guidelines for everyone to follow, to avoid less confusion in the future.

1.) Keep the list in Alphabetical Order

Before you start editting, make sure you post the questions in their alphabetical spot. Don't be lazy and just JAB it in there and expecting other person to clean up after your mess. Because if somebody has to do that, it slows their own progress with posting up their own questions just to take care of the mistakes that you've made. The reason for this is so we can have the questions organized and to avoid repetition, in the event that other users also have the similiar questions.

2.) DO NOT change the actual Question's grammar or spelling

Don't even change the questions that you received from the quiz, PERIOD. For example if you have a question asking if

"You can obtain a title by capturing a bear in a single blow"

don't change it to

"You can obtain a title by slaying a bear in a single blow"

This also go for abbreviation such as changing "United States" to "U.S"

The reason for that is so when people try to search for the exact question in game it won't give them a Search Failed message. Remember that players only have 10 second to look up for the answer, so don't edit the questions in Anyway, Shapes and Forms, and make sure they're within game context. The only exception to this rules is the Capitalization, because search engine won't care whether the words are capitalized or not.

3.) DO NOT delete any questions

I don't care if some questions asked during the quiz is so simple as "Ferghus is a Blacksmith in Tir Chonaill", LEAVE THE QUESTION ALONE. There may be some people who are new to the game that don't know the answer to this question. So if there are any questions that are so basic, DON'T DELETE IT and shun other people away.

Also if you see a similiar question/answer but in a different wordings, don't delete it. You can't tell whether that was intentional or not by NEXON staffs. Remember when people hit Control + F, they're hoping to get a highlight on words, so don't take their chances away just because a similar question already existed and you decided to remove it.

4.) Avoid posting a question that you Can't Remember

If you can't remember the exact phrases for the Question, then put some notice around it. If you can't remember the answer to the question at all, DON'T POST IT. The last thing this website needs is to have players complaining about Mabinogi World Wiki giving out an "incorrect" information. The best way to grab the questions from the Quiz is with a Video Recorder. There's already one in the game at the bottom right icon. Just click on it when the quiz starts, and review it after it's over. Then find out whether the Questions are True or False and post it.

5.) If the Question's answer is wrong, DON'T CHANGE IT.

Once in awhile you might be receiving an answer that isn't 'Correct' during the Quiz. If that's the case, just abide by it and put a notice such as (Factual Incorrect) message around the question. But don't edit the answer from FALSE to TRUE and vice versa, because it won't change the game mechanic. And in the end, you'll provide players with a Wrong information.

6.) Preview the Questions before you hit Submit

Remember to preview any questions in their appropriate spot before you hit submit. Otherwise you'll have other editors worrying whether that question is factual incorrect or not. So to avoid mass confusion, remember to double check your questions.

Hopefully after reading this, there will be less mistakes made in the future. Remember that this event will only lasts for 2 weeks, so keep those questions coming. Every time you submit a question, you'll increase the players chance of winning.

Thanks for reading.

So I'm assuming it's safe to alphabetize someone else's questions. Also, thanks for posting some sort of guideline and hopefully people follow the guide so everything is organized. :3--PhobieRouge 16:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately recording the quiz is not efficient after question 20, it only records for 5 minutes, no longer. Just a word of warning

why is alphabetizing the list even relevant? avoiding repetition isn't a valid reason--as soon as you start using ctrl + f during the quiz, alphabetization no longer matters

unless i'm missing some key detail

Alphabetizing looks clean, it's how we normally (if not always) format lists for events, and it does help with preventing repetition to an extent (some editors don't take a minute or two to skim/CTRL-F through the list; however, it does help those that are cleaning up the page).

So, we could just organize them by keyword, or genre, or just throw everything in there. Or settle with the usual alphabetizing, of which I personally prefer. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but, if anything, it does take a little more time due to the sorting.

mm, i see

i'll keep that in mind for any future additions of mine

I'd like a confirmation before this is added, please.

"Pierrick believes he is the most eligible bachelor" is listed as false, however when we were presented with the question "Pierrick in Tailteann believes he's most eligible bachelor", everyone who was in X was eliminated. Should this be included in the list of correct answers without removing the former?

That's weird, the exact opposite happens to us.

We got the question "Pierrick in Taillteann thinks he's the most eligible bachelor", and everyone who was on TRUE got removed.

Are you sure your exact question was

Pierrick in Taillteann believes he's the most eligible bachelor

and not

Pierrick in Taillteann thinks he's the most eligible bachelor

Please reply soon so we can get this matter over with.

Sorry for the late reply, it was "Pierrick in Taillteann thinks he's the most eligible bachelor". I didn't have an exact screenshot at that time so my wording in the previous comment may have been a little off.

Every time that "Pierrick in Taillteann thinks he's the most eligible bachelor" has come up for me, it's been true. Perhaps there are two very similar phrases that are tricking people. The next time it comes up I'll screen shot it.

I noticed that Nexon often corrected mistakes they made in their question, both about the syntax and the truth. So I guess what happened here is that. Since they made a mistake, they corrected the answer, and took the opportunity to change a word or two.

I don't think that's the case here. I believe the question is actually in the mix twice. Once as false, and once as true. I just received it again, and it was false this time.

I have just witnessed this ambiguous question myself, and it appears that the preposition is the determining factor. Whenever the question begins with "Pierrick of Taillteann," it registers as true. Because it was "Pierrick in Taillteann" this time, it registered as false.

I have no idea where to put the following information on the main page, but I have verified that you can obtain the Bull Whistle only by completing the relevant quest. (Talking to the host again with 777 tickets doesn't award you a whistle.) On a related note, you can get a whistle for every character that has the aforementioned quest; I completed the quest with both my elf and human characters, and am now the somewhat proud owner of two useless-in-battle walking item bags whose affection is still pretty cute.

The first question was "Rath castle has a royal library on the first floor". Everyone who was on X was kicked out of the event. Did they mess up the event or did the library move?

Library is second floor... Really? Common knowledge i thought.

According to its page on the wiki it is on the second floor.

http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Rath#Great_Hall_-_Second_Floor

Maybe they messed up the description and X is true and O is false?

They could be using the British convention of floor numbering, where 1st=Ground Floor, 2nd=1st, and so forth. I would not be surprised to know it was a world standard, considering that the US has the only non-standard units of everything.

It's labeled as the 2nd floor ingame.

I think this event is messed up. Just about everyone got the "wrong" answer when they stood on X for the question "You can get a title for taming a bear at age 10". I think that X is true and O is false. Either that or the nexon team REALLY screwed up.

Adding onto the list of screwed up questions: "Same character names cannot be used" was false according to the event. Everyone except an afk person that was on the X spot was kicked out. I suppose a rationalization would be that same names can be used across different servers but then that's just a really bad trick question because they weren't specific enough.

Same charcter names can be used!

...

On different servers!

I tried testing X being true and O being false, didn't work. So thus, nexon just screwed up this event.

Angry birds has sold 7 million copies... the answer ended up being false and everybody got kicked. Can anybody else confirm this?

Just got that question. It's supposed to be true but the answer for the Mabinogi Quiz Event is false. :P

I managed to get a charming pouch and got Korean Traditional Shoes (M), vut they're not like the ones listed (aka the Delegation event ones), so maybe the clothes are different too?

Yes, they're all different.

Since the items have the same names, I just tagged (Quiz) to the end of the name, like how the shadow mission version of the Bat Dress has (Shadow Mission) tagged to the end of it.

Why is the bull whistle under the list of prizes for the pouch? Is it an actual prize or is it just being confused with the secondary quest's prize?

Its just under the list of prizes in general, it does say to look at the quest under it for more information.
