You probably thought a Mahar's earrings were for show, didn't you? They are actually their source of power.
...which kinda confused me as to whether I should put the whole item name, "earring", "mahar earring" or something else. >>
Found the new one pretty quickly, yay. Was confused by the wording at first, but according to the updated news posting that was just a typo, so I'm sure the answer I submitted was correct
I was just torn between mahar earring or golden mahar earring. The new one tho, in spite of the odd typo, I found pretty quickly.
Whee I got it correct then Yeah, I can see how it might be confusing, and if I'd bothered to pay more attention to the flavor text I might have been confused too.
Site's down so I can't look for the new one yet sadly.
Finally got my damned Hot dawg. Why the hell was the past trivia up for 17 days? Trivias used to be a great way to pass the time on Subeta and get people to actually explore the site, as well as earn sp for the rarer prizes.
It honestly can't be that hard to find someone to release a trivia every two or three days.
Speaking of trivia, has anyone else tried submitting a question over the past few weeks? Every time I do, I get an error message and I have no idea if my question's even gone through.
That happened to me, too. I thought I'd put in a weird format or something.
My computer is connected to the internet and the internet contains everything in the whole wide world ever. I don't know about you but I sometimes find everything in the whole wide world ever a bit distracting.
People used to complain about trivia questions not being up long enough, but it seems that the subeta team has gone to the other extreme. This way it'll take folks *forever* to get the 10 questions for the blue building. At least this one was fairly easy to find if you know the right places to look.
17 days is just a stupid amount of time to keep a trivia question up. Let's be honest here...if you haven't answered after the first week, you really don't deserve the prize, especially with the easier questions they are using now. Anyone who was willing to give the last one a good half an hour to search for it most likely got it right. Now, don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining about the difficulty or lack thereof in the newer trivia questions, but I am saying that 17 days is ridiculous as a length of time to keep easier questions up. The prizes become next to worthless and it takes a lot of the fun out of trivia when you see the news post saying there is a new one up and your first thought is, "Oh yeah, we have trivia on this site.".
Basically...I got the last one and I am certain I got the new one as well, but I just feel like the trivia is almost a waste anymore with the way it is being done. If it weren't for the last couple having minions as prizes, I most likely would have skipped them altogether.
Yeah, I can see how it might be confusing, and if I'd bothered to pay more attention to the flavor text I might have been confused too.
