    Summary



    Yes:
    • Is the answer less than 40 characters?
    • Is it between 21 and 30 characters, inclusive?
    • Does the answer have at least four words in it?
    • Does the answer have at least five words in it? (as I would write it, there are 5 words - some people might only use 4 words)
    • Is it an event, quest, or part of a progression? (it is one of those things)


    No:
    • Phallic in... blablabla?
    • Is it an item?
    • Does the answer start with the letter M?
    • Are there less than 20 characters in the answer?
    • Is it a playable character?
    • Is it an NPC?
    • Is it a place? (slightly misleading)
    • Is it a specific place inside a zone?
    • Is it a continent?
    • Is it part of a progression?
    • Is it a quest?
    • Are exactly two words in the article not nouns? For example, The blah blah of blah? (I feel there are more than two non-nouns when the answer is written out)
    • Is it a seasonal event?
    • Is it a Guide event? (highly misleading - but not a GUIDE event)


    Other:
    • Dread is a jerk for making me think so much.
    • My wife and I also watched some Steve Harvey Family Feud highlights the other night.

    Oh that's a good approach!

    If I were to approach 200 people in the Plane of Knowledge and asked them for their favorite event on Norrath whose name is between 21 and 30 characters and has either 4 or 5 words in it and two non-nouns, depending on how complete/proper you are with the name, would this be in the top 5?

    What does survey say???

    Is it an event announced by system message or a GM during EQ play?

    Short of actually conducting the survey, there is no way for me to know. If I had to guess, I'd say "no". But that's just completely a guess. And my logic for that determination is based completely on factors outside of what would traditionally be used to determine the approvability of an event like this.

    Also, somebody better win this thing before the next survey so I don't have to type out your ridiculously long question...

    I would say "yes".

    I am not 100% sure if this is what happened in this case, but going with "yes" would bring us closer to the answer even if I am wrong on this one.

    Is this that tournament that comes around every few months that takes place over several days and the scores are added up at the end? And it involves random tests, including things like tradeskills or whatever?

    I really don't remember the name... huh.

    No. I have no idea what you're talking about, but it is definitely not it...

    Okay back to the original strategy then.

    Are the letters Q, X, Z, V, and W anywhere in the answer?

  9. Mary Poppins Augur

    Um... "and" or "or"?

    Actually, I don't think it matters. No.


    EDIT: And don't think I don't know what you're doing - you're just asking questions to bump it to the next page for a summary...
  10. Dreadmore Augur


    No, I'm not! I know exactly what I'm doing.

    Can I buy a vowel???

  15. Mary Poppins Augur

    Absolutely not.
  16. Mary Poppins Augur

    Not to my knowledge.
  17. Mary Poppins Augur

    No
  18. Mary Poppins Augur

    Yes. It took place in multiple zones, but Kithicor was one of them. A major one.
  19. Eggolas Augur

    Did it take place before 2004?
