What question tripped you up?

Postby Jakker » Sun Mar 31, 2019 5:31 pm

You were on a great streak and answering all the questions with confidence. Then, you lose it all with one wrong answer. What was the question that tripped you up? ***REMEMBER NO SPOILERS***

I failed the question on how many issues were in the International Incident chain twice before I got it right.

Which, seeing as I wrote/edited the thing, made it even more annoying...

Yes, I also wrote an actual NS News post saying clearly the answer, and I still couldn't remember...

Anything that involved what other people have done.

Oh, and the expert level issue question on how many options remove your world assembly membership.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Ended a beautiful 109 streak. The answer is wrong. Technically the question is too. I didn't steal nofin' :p

All the questions about actual players rather than game mechanics broke my beautiful streaks of one. :p
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

Plenty of difficult questions, of course, but one memorable one was, "What is the posting date on forum post #1?".

Thing is, forum post #1 is not visible to the public.
