=== Quiztime ===

Starting a Stendhal-quiz is always fun for players and people who organise it. It spreads knowdlege about the game which is really helpful for younger players and increases the gamefun! It's a bit tricky to prepare but the work worth it :)

:; You need:

:: Some questions about Stendhal, ingame questions like some related to quests, NPCs, Items, maps etc. and maybe a few real life questions in between to not be strickly into Stendhal :)

:: For giving a time example: 50 questions will take about an hour to answer

:: Maybe you also need some awards which players will get when they answer something correctly to keep them motivated (doesn't have to be huge awards)

:: You also need a nice place for doing it, like one of the taverns, INNs or Carolines house (if you want to make a public quiz)

:; How to play:

:: You should inform players early when you are going to make a quiz so they can maybe prepare a little.

:: It's always good to give a short introduction like how long it will appr. take, how much questions you have, what the rules for answering are (e.g. first answer counts) etc.

:: You start asking questions then, good is it when you tell them in one line with the number before so you don't get in trouble with counting :)

:: It might be that you need a break in the middle of your questions, just stop the quiz for 5 minutes then (like after half of the questions)

:: If players complain about questions which aren't to 100% right answered but you counted them as correct already, don't let yourself be irritated, excuse yourself and go on ;) (that even happens to people, who play the game for over years now :D)
