My anwers are in. Great quiz, I enjoyed it. It's really a time for quizzes lately.

Hey all,

This is a shameless bump, but with some added news. There have been a couple of polite requests to allow a little more time, (Due to schedule woes and general business) and seeing as there is no good reason not to, (and this is an informal in-board quiz) I'm extending the Quiz an extra 24 hours. The new close will be Jan 20th, at 12:00 instead of tonight.

Thanks for your attention,
Ged

OK all, Pencils Down! It's midnight on Sat. 20 Jan, 2007. Will Edit this post and announce scores in a moment.

OK All,

Only three entries this time. Thats OK it's a Start. Of those three entries, all three passed. (Either through farseer-like knowlege, or by prompt raidiing... ) Congrats to you all. Please PM me if I have your permission to reveal your scores. EDIT: Toastmaster - 85%
I'd like to suggest making quizes in our forum a more common occouence. What do people think of starting a "rolling quiz" as a stickied post. (i.e a question is asked, then the person who answers it correctly gets to ask the next question. All questions will involve Eldar Trivia) I realize it's kind of "enclavesque", but I feel would also be a good way to start building a database of Eldar trivia for the newer players, and a place for vets to pass on their knowlege. (or just try to stump each other)
Alternatively we can organize a monthly or bi-monthly quiz like this one.

Any thoughts?

I really enjoyed this quiz! Lot's of different questions and all were very interesting.

My score was 90%, I missed questions 5 and 6. I thought Court of the young king was ment and I couldn't get to know a 2nd edition psychic power.

Holding quizes is a good way to keep people interested in a race and it's fun to do. I really would like to see more of these quizzes and your idea of creating a sticky thread with questions sounds like something interesting and would make this board something special.

Great work!

[ToastMaster]

I found Wikipedia to be infinitely helpful on this quiz.

I scored an 85%. I missed questions 5, 6, and 2. I didn't have Codex: Eye of Terror, so I couldn't have known what Eldar special unit escorts Ulthwe's Avatar, and I don't have a copy of the 2nd edition Eldar codex, so number 6 was out of reach. As for 2, I'm not much of a BFG person, myself.

I would really like to see more quizes like this. It was very fun. The idea of an Eldar chain quiz thread sounds quite familiar to that 40k fluff chain quiz that used to be very popular in the General 40k section... Anyways, either one'd be a fun thing to try out. Why not both?

Who wants to bet Wargamer scored 100? He even beats Inquisitor Czevak in Eldar fanboyism.

Hey all,

We had a late entry, but I didn't realize it b/c I failed to check my messeges earlier. Seeing as this is the first quiz, and that it was sprung w/o warning, I'll score him too. (But I can't karmatize him until he posts in this thread... HINT HINT! )

TTFN,
Ged

[Omeganus]

yeah sorry, I hadn't realised it was late, When I did, after I'd entered I thought it would be unfair to try to claim the Karma though. But since you're offering it...

I got 90%

Luckily I have the previous eldar codex, it was really helpfull, that and the eldar online dictionry, (google eldar dictionary) that helped, I didn't play any previous edition so I had no idea for No. 6

Thanks Paragon for allowing it though.
