Well, I heard that it was because some guy was spamming shit, all the traffic was route through a single IP, so when they blocked that IP... 80% of that country was blocked for a time until that ISP changed its policy.

"Raider challenging a Defender..."

The spelling on those answers made me confuse my choices so many times it probably accounts for 5 restarts, and 1 restart on ALL.

Embarrassingly, the one about Free Speech and the FaQ, where the correct answer was painfully obvious. I was over the 200 mark on All, and I was pretty mad at myself when I realized what I had done. But I finished All a couple runs later, so I got over it.

Jakker, your obscure gameplay questions are killing me. Some are near impossible to look up and you can’t find the right answer without cheating or having knowledge beforehand or asking someone.

There is more to this site than Gameplay, right? Right!

Those aren't even really Gameplay questions, he's just writing riddles and calling them questions.

I totally agree that there is more to the game than gameplay. As far as I can tell, the gameplay questions make up a fraction of the overall questions. If you do feel like there needs to be more variety, feel free to message me with some suggestions!

Stop being so nice when I’m mad at you! :p

Actually I sent Wrapper a few questions, he said he’ll look at them tonight.

Most all of them? There's a ton of minutiae in many of these questions (especially in the two non-newcomer categories), I'm flabberghasted that many of them have an above 50% correct answering rate. :o And hell I've been playing here since 2004! Guess I haven't been paying attention haha. :p

Does it count when the same nation answers the question more than once? It might be that. Questions have high answering rates because the players who don't know how to answer questions well tend to get kicked off the quiz before reaching them.

Anyway, I have been able to find the answers to some pretty obscure questions by searching the forum, but yeah, there's still a bunch of "how should I know that?" questions.

Of course, nowadays it takes like half an hour just to go through all the questions, so a few times I've been broken a run on a question that I did know the answer to simply because I was clicking through a little too quickly and messed up.
