Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do not think it is a matter of Prizes, Heck I won even though I know it is not right. An apology was given due to tha fact things should be found ON SITE not just by Googeling. And a Bit Poorly worded. Well make it Null or award tha right people.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

errr, maybe that wasn't exactly what your looking for, but thats the only place I've seen trivia requirement-ish stuff

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's on one of the editorials, DebiLee:

"Pennys_Paradise asked: I heard in the PAST, Trivia questions could be from anything. On, or off, Subeta. Is this still true, or are Trivia questions now Subeta related ONLY?Trivia questions are now Subeta-related only, so you have to know your way around the site to find them, instead of just using Google. (Answered by ChimaeraAndDream)"

I'm not sure which one, I just searched it in my editorials txt file.

Do you have a link to that? Because there are no specific Trivia requirements, so I would really like to edit that wherever it is, because it simply isn't true. However, as I said, I genuinely did believe at the time that this was on the site. On that one, carrots was the correct answer because of the word guessed in the Trivia; the guessed answer was carrots, not beanbags.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That goodie bag has been on my wishlist forever and I searched everywhere and when I couldn't find it on the site I guessed, lol and got it wrong. Oh well, i'm glad that prize will be in a future trivia so we get another shot at it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ROFL Kamil....I'm right there with you on the "carrots" one. But, hey....I didn't complain then...so I'm saying my bit now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, thank you DebiLee!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for commenting Debilee It's always nice to have a HMFIC step in

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes, in the 19th and early 20th century that would have been the case, which is what that states.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The reason people complain is because the prizes end up costing so very much, and if you want it badly, but end up losing because the trivia is jacked up somehow - yeah, I think when that happens people have a right to get their knickers in a twist.

If you know you put the right answer, but the answer that ends up being 'correct' isn't what you put, and now you have to shell out ten million or so to get the prize you should have won . . . I'd be mad.

I didn't enter this one at all, because my 'stalk, much?' trigger was tripped on my fourth or fifth hop off of the google links, but I'm still annoyed at carrots supposedly being the answer to the one before last.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

thank you for clearing things up debilee i appreciate that you took the time to come and answer our questions

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, i read somewhere on the site that all the trivia answers can be found on subeta. so yes, it's a requirement unless they state otherwise in the question.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay, on the not on site issue, I genuinely thought that it was on the site at the time that the question was posted; I only just discovered that it no longer is. (It was an old Trivia question but the answer to it has evidently gone to NULL for some reason). And, yes, the question ended up being a bit poorly worded for those using the archaic monogramming rules for embroidery (which have been disputed and are not necessarily universally accepted); it referred to the actual initials in order, that's what it modifies, not the word monogrammed. This is actually the third time that this particular prize has been used, and the requisite number were won this time. But it will be used again in the future, just not immediately.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

you do all realize that A) the trivia game is a privilege and not a right and can be taken away from us? B) questions and their answers are submitted by reg users who don't always research their questions and answers

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I would like to know How this answer was based.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Leaving this one out of it - what I said is still true.

And to throw more fuel on the fire - I don't recall anywhere saying ALL trivia answers would be found on site. They may tell us if it is Subeta related, but I don't recall anyone every saying that ALL trivia would be found on site. On this, I admit, I may be wrong and if someone feels compelled to prove me wrong, I'm fine with that.

Maybe when someone who is "perfect" starts doing trivia then everyone will always be happy with the answer every time. Until then, live with it, please? It's a game. Give 'em a break?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Couldn't find the last one no matter how many pages of Google search I went through, but I definitely got the new one right, and for some reason I'm oddly proud of that. :3 Nice one, l0l.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes well our knickers wouldn't be in a twist if those of us with the actual right answer got the prize...

Rules of monogramming: In the 19th and Early 20th Centuries, when the rules for three-letter monograms were created, it would have been fairly easy to decide which letters represented which parts of an individualâ€™s name.

For example, someone named Alice Canfield Bostwick would immediately recognize this monogram as her own â€“ first name initial (A) on the left, middle name initial (C) on the right, and last name initial (B) in the center, larger than the rest.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Bagheera23608, It's not people complaining about tha knickers. Just about things not being defined. Mono is 1...Yes? Look it up, or get married, last name is in tha Middle.

You know. If people keep complaining about EVERY SINGLE trivia, they just might stop doing them. I wouldn't blame them. Happens every time a new question is answered SOMEBODY has to get their knickers in a twist....sheesh

People have a right to complain about this one. For starters, it wasn't able to be found on Subeta. Secondly, KBK is NOT correct. As other people have said, when things are monogrammed its first initial, last initial, middle initial.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yea some people complain, I think we all do at one trivia, maybe more. Where are the trivia guidelines and how to answer trivias on here..as trivias seem to change all the time, off site, on site, in properties of an item etc

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hehe, i KNOW i got the new one right though

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just got that off of dictionary.com. The definition of monogram doesn't actually state the order the letters should be in.

knickers are in a twist

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the priiizeeee =X! I hope I got it right.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well i couldnt find his middle name anywhere on the site, not his profile, not his siggi, not editorial, not staff page, not even the mail address in the GA area where you buy them.. I also googled him and found nothing, yet the answer should be on subeta somewhere. I too would like to know where

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

woodnymph, then whoever did that monogramming apparently doesn't know how to.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This question was so unfair, so those of us who actually know what monogramming is and the proper order get it wrong and the people who just put in the initials get it right? This should be redone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got awarded tha right answer even though it was wrong. Last name is in tha middle, until proven wrong. OK I am not wrong. You need to award everyone. Hey things happen when it is not defined. I will give mine to someone who got it right if it is not taken care of.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There was no "over thinking". Some of us deal with Monograms on a daily basis. Original monograms (mono...meaning 1) were the first letter of the surname (last name for those who don't know that one either). Later, the first letter of the first name and middle name were added on either side to "dress it up" so to speak. So the correct answer for MONOGRAMED initials are KKB.

And I found the middle name by googling Keith Kurson, found a site that listed his dad as Bruce, so googled Bruce Kurson, and found a family tree type page that listed middle name Benjamin.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i didn't know there was a correct way of monogramming. my sister had something monogrammed for her boyfriend and they did it MTJ which is first, middle, last for him.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

this is seriously unfair. and i'm not just saying that in a whiny "just because i didnt get it" attitude there should have been two answers, one for standard monogramming format, and one for the listing. there have been trivias with two answers before, so why not this one?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Exactly. I mean, in trivia , it was said that the question was non Subeta related right at the start, so we wouldn't waste our time looking around here. I thought that if you couldn't find the answer here, they would have said something like that. But they didn't. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just opened mine: You have gained:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ugh!where's the answer for the last trivia?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Does anyone know if it gives Keith Clothes? x[

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debilee said on my profile that the prize wont be available again ;[

100 people answered it correctly.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got this one , but I had to search off-site to find the answer . I actually found the answer on a really strange web site that have nothing to do with subeta and I also found it by pure luck , since I was searching for something completely different ... Anyone know if the answer was actually on the site ?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am disappointed it wasn't anywhere on the site, liek the cash shop mailing instructions or on that forum thread that Keith answered all kinds of questions....but at least it wasn't a great minion or piece of clothing. Of course, that depends on what is inside the bag....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"That's not exactly fair when it's asked for monogramming, not just his initials."

EXACTLY. monogramming initials is a whole different set up than just listing them.

Where is the answer on the site? Because if it wasn't on this site, shouldn't they have mentioned it, so we would know to look somewhere else?

I even sMailed DebiLee and asked if the answer was on the site or if we should look somewhere else. I never received and answer. I did do a Google search but still was unable to come up with an answer.

Congrats to those who won, but I personally think it was a rather unfair question.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This one's hard.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of kkc for the trivia was incorrect.

Haha, I was taking a stab in the dark. I really didn't know his middle name. Who knew I'd be one letter away? XD

Those who put KBK should have gotten it wrong. The CORRECT way of monogramming his initials is KKB, first, last, middle. That's not exactly fair when it's asked for monogramming, not just his initials.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

1st: how many of these were won? 2nd: I'm sorry for those of you who didn't get it right but c'mon. It seems to me you just overthought it. Just my opinion here.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well your ment to be able to find all the trivias on the site

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

too true- i couldn't find it anywhere on the site, and i even tried google and couldn't find anything about his middle name i thought all trivia answers had to be able to be found on the site.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd like to know where it was on the site, I never found it, and didn't find it with google either.
