Forum:Robot Wars quizzes on Sporcle

For those who don't know, Sporcle is a website where people make quizzes on any subject for people to answer. I have started to expand on the Robot Wars section and would like to share some of the quizzes. I use the same username (Jimlaad43) on Sporcle. Post your best percentages underneath. NO CHEATING, just use your memory from your time trawling this site. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 17:59, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Animal-Based Robots
 * I made the quiz Toast  Ultimatum  06:06, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Problems
The Series 1 quiz won't accept "Vector of Armageddon". CrashBash (talk) 18:23, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Its not my quiz, it has been spelt "Vector of Armagedon". The extreme 2 also spells Eddy Evolution wrong, so you will have to write "Eddie Evolution". Any more problems, post them here (especially if its on my quiz). J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 18:29, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which ones are yours and how recently did you create them? I've done quite a few Robot Wars quizzes on Sporcle, but not for quite a while. Christophee (talk) 18:31, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Series 4, Today. Series 7, a few months ago. OotA Victims, a few months ago. Scroll down under the quiz and look in the blue box for the creator jimlaad43 with a Dantomkia avatar. Being on Robot Wars Wiki, you can't mistake it. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 18:48, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll just go through them all and if I've done it, my score will be displayed. I may do it again though and see if I can beat my previous score. Christophee (talk) 18:56, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * The World Championships quiz spells Philipper as Philliper. Toast  Ultimatum  19:04, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Rottweiler has been spelt at "Rotweiller", stuffing me over. CrashBash (talk) 18:48, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Suggestions
What do people think of putting the results in descending order? Christophee (talk) 19:27, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I was a few seconds from writing this myself. It is a good idea and I shall proceed with moving them. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 19:32, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * By the way, I hope you don't mind the format changes we made. I think it looks a lot neater now. Christophee (talk) 19:33, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't mind, they are so much better. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 19:35, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Any more quizzes you would like made?
I have got rather good at making quizzes on this website. Are there any quizzes you would like me to make to add to the list? J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 09:02, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Have you seen those Sporcle 'logic puzzles'? I love those, but I wouldn't even know how to start making one. A Robot Wars related one would be amazing. Christophee (talk) 12:07, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Haven't made one before, but I'll give it a go. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 12:28, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Good luck! Christophee (talk) 12:35, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Also, what about an A-Z quiz? If you did it for the whole UK run, then there would be a lot of answers to fill in while making it, but people would only have to guess one for each letter. If that's not practical, then you could split it up, I guess. Christophee (talk) 13:52, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have made a logic puzzle for you Christophee. I might be able to do an A-Z, but I would need to reduce the parameters. I'll think about it. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 18:55, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was quicker than I expected. Thanks! Christophee (talk) 19:03, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I clearly don't know enough to complete it unfortunately. I didn't even get half way through before I had to guess one, and got it wrong. Christophee (talk) 19:09, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I found the logic quiz quite interesting. CrashBash (talk) 19:12, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Toast, I have added the Germans to the A-Z. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 06:43, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm just going to make a new Series 2 quiz, with correct spellings, better layout and more time. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 16:38, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Does anyone else have a Sporcle login?
More for curiosity. Do any of you have/are wanting to make a login for Sporcle? As I have said, you can find me as "jimlaad43". We could then swap challenges on other subjects to see how good our knowledge is of other stuff (For example, I completely monster all countries, capitals and flags without cheating, or naming all F1 champions, circuits and other stuff) J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 13:21, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have one, and I've created several quizzes. I've even had one featured on the homepage before. :) Christophee (talk) 14:34, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm good at F1 champions too. I can even do them in order. English kings is one of my strengths too. I can do those in order with no mistakes. Christophee (talk) 14:35, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Front Page, jeez that's what I aim for but have never reached. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:38, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * How in the world did you find my username? ;) Christophee (talk) 14:42, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just searched "christophee" in the bar at the top that says "Search for games or users". J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:50, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Really original, right? I got quite lucky with my featured game. Seinfeld is a really popular subject on Sporcle and I made a clickable quiz on it when that feature had only just been introduced to the site. It was quite a thrill to see a quiz I made on the homepage one day. :) Christophee (talk) 14:55, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Chris, I may have accidentally sent you a challenge I was trying to send to someone else. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 15:37, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * If it's that countries one, I did it anyway. Christophee (talk) 16:45, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I know your "embarrasing" one-time losers result. I can keep it quiet if you want, no bribes or blackmail needed, just trust. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 21:24, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's pretty bad, isn't it? I just don't take stuff like that in when I watch the episodes. I only seem to remember the later rounds for some reason. Christophee (talk) 12:24, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * What makes it worse for you is that I tried to choose the more obvious ones. J  im laa  d4   3 (talk) 12:28, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for kicking me while I'm down. ;) Christophee (talk) 12:29, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
