i | Okay, I gave up waiting, we have the participants for our tournament: SmARTy Guffy Артемия Sir Gawain 7.62 мм Supreme Jane Shepard The first assignment would be to participate in the The Activity Challenge. (I like to call it ''The Flood Challenge''). Your goal: to have as many messages in the English forum as possible. The messages in the ''English club'' and ''Other languages'' do not count. The time frame: Monday, April 7, 0:01 am (the very first minute of Monday, Kiev time) till Sunday, April 13, 11:59 pm (the very last minute of the week, Kiev time). Whoever has the most number of messages for the week wins. If you have a question - please ask in this topic. If you would like to enroll before the tournament starts - feel free to do so, I will add you as a participant, but once Monday comes - there will be no more chance to participate. Keep in mind that the second challenge will probably take part on April 20. The date will be confirmed later. |
i | The reminding letters have been sent out to the participants. Let the best flooder win! |
i | Sorry, guys, I got a little bit lost with these holidays... The results of the first challenge are as follows:
Great job, guys! I would like to know this: would you rather receive a small reward (which I was planning to give you for each challenge separately) now, or it's better to reward you by the very end of the tournament? Let's move to the next challenge. Again, my apologize for now conducting the quiz yesterday... The Quiz Challenge! I think it might be difficult to gather all you guys in one topic at the same time, so I would like to change the tour a bit. How about I send you questions via personal mail and give you a certain time to answer them? So, here are the conditions: 1. There will be 15 questions that you will see once you open a personal message. 2. You will have up to 1 hour to answer them. If you went over 1 hour, your points will be divided by 2. If you went over 2 hours, you will get zero points. 3. Who answers first will get the most points (the points will only be used to calculate the places in this challenge). For example, if you are the last one who answered the questions, you will only receive 1 point for each correct answer. If you are the first person who sent your response, you will get 7 points for each correct answer (if all 7 people participate). If the question is answered incorrectly, you get zero points. Who gets the most points by the end, scores the first place, the next one - second place etc. 4. You will have 4 days to open my message and provide me with an answer. What do you think? P.S. I'm planning to send out the questions on Wednesday evening, so will have time until Sunday evening to response. For your convenience, Russin version: Давайте перейдем к следующей части. Еще раз прошу прощения, что мне не удалось провести викторину вчера... Викторина! Я думаю, что будет сложно собрать всех вас в одной теме в одно и то же время, поэтому я бы хотела немного изменить этот тур. Как на счет того, чтобы я отправила вам вопросы по личной почте, и дала определенное время, чтобы ответить? То есть, вот такие вот будут условия: 1. Будет 15 вопросов, которые вы увидите, открыв письмо. 2. У вас будет 1 час, чтобы ответить на них. Если вы потратили больше часа, баллы будет урезаны в два раза. Если вы потратили больше 2 часов, вы не получите баллы. 3. Тот, кто ответит первым, получит больше всего очков (очки будут использованы только для того, чтобы подсчитать места в этом туре). К примеру, если вы ответили последним, вы получите только 1 балл за каждый правильный ответ. Если вы ответили самым первым, то получите 7 очков за каждый правильны ответ (если все 7 человек ответят). Если ответ дан неверный, вы не получаете очки. Тот, кто наберет больше всего очков в конце, занимает первое место, следующий - второе, и так далее. 4. У вас будет 4 дня, чтобы открыть мое письмо и предоставить ответ. Что думаете? P.S. Я планирую отправить вопросы вечером в среду - то есть, у вас будет время до конца недели (вечера воскресения), чтобы ответить. Что думаете? |

To receive a reward by the end of the tournament is better to me, I guess.) |
i | All right, not everyone replied, but I hope that the new terms are acceptable. I will give you guys 7 days to open the my mail message and respond to the questions. Again:
I am sending you know a message regarding the terms. The next mail message will contain the actual questions. Once you've opened that mail, the clock start ticking. Some questions might have multiple answers. For example, if the question is: ''Name two cities of Canada'', I will accept the answer ''Toronto and Ottawa'', and the answer ''Ottawa and Vancouver'', and the answer ''Halifax and Winnipeg''. As long as it's correct. If you have misspelled a word, a name of answer in general, but I can still read it - it's fine. Unless you spelled ''England'' as ''egnald'' - I will not be able to recognize that name. It doesn't matter if you wrote the name with a lowercase letter, I will still accept it. ''Australia'' or ''australia'' - I can live with that. Good luck, guys! If you think there are mistakes in the questions I've chosen, or you have concerns in general - please let me know, we can discuss it here or via personal mail. |
i | Okay, the questions have been sent. Needless to say: please don't post questions or answers anywhere, and don't share it with other participants. If I catch someone, that person will be disqualified. Again, good luck! |
i | Whoever hasn't answered the questions - please don't forget. I've sent the reminder. |
i | Supreme, sorry, I was away for a while. The assignment for the second challenge has been sent to: 7 participants. I've received a reply from: 4 participants.
Surprisingly everyone answered ALL the questions correctly, despite my effort to make them slightly difficult. All right, great job. I've decided to provide you with the next two challenges right away. Once you've done the third one, you can start the last one. The Curiosity Challenge. Your task is to prepare some facts about the Empire State Building. How mane facts: three. The length of each fact: maximum 500 symbols. I expect you to send me your creation through the personal mail. Please do nclude some references with your personal message. The deadline is: May 29, 2014. The Historical Challenge. The task would be to write a description of Stonehenge (United Kingdom). It's up to you what to present to the audience, but pretend you are supposed to describe this historical place yo someone who's never even heard of Stonehenge. The length of the description: at least 1000 symbols, not more than 2000. Pictures? Yes, you can add as many pictures as you want. References are not necessary. Links to other web pages are not needed either. The deadline is: June 13, 2014. Good luck! |
i | I haven't lost my hope and I would love to see all the challenges completed soon. Everyone has been reminded, please do submit your creations. |
i | Ding-dong! Guys, I'll give you some time... until June 30. I hope I'll be seeing your creations soon. Even though I'm sure you all forgot about the challenge. If by that time there will be no progress, I will be posting the results as they are. |
i | Okay, I gave up. That's okay, I can still reward all the participants. In the 1st challenge we had 5 participants. Which means that whoever got the first place, will be awarded 5 points, the last one will receive 1 point. What about the 2nd challenge... 4 participants, 4-1 point for place from 1 to 4 accordingly. Here's what we're facing:
Sooo, we have 3users who scores 1st place. And despite the fact that only half of the tounament was completed, I am rewarding everyone this way: 7.62 мм, SmARTy and Supreme are getting *Ticket to Europe + 1000 galleons. Guffy will also get a *Ticket to Europe, no money though. Огняник will receive Tulips (I'm sorry, that's the most I can award for 1 message). Thank you very much for investing your time is this competition! The prizes will find their owners soon. |
