"I'm sorry, but your answer of polar ice field for the trivia was incorrect."
I was close! =) Better luck next time!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's always stated that people should use the correct spelling for places for trivia. o.O Every single time this sort of thing comes up it is always, always said that correct spelling takes precedence over everything else. Heck, it was even mentioned in the other comment board for the last triva.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Please for the love of my sanity Debi reuse the Walker Yuri is not a happy demon..he wants his umm cat thing.. and I sure as heck don't feel like dishing out some crazy amount in trades..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hey, it went before I finished. I knew it! I almost put Arctic Frost, but I couldn't find the answer, the exact quote because of course I always get lost on the first click. sigh Not good. How many were won Debi? Re-use sometime??

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sucky...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i'd love for the Walker to be re-used again! i'm getting into collecting minions and it would be nice to not have to pay through the nose for it later on!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, sorry, so do I (desperately need sleep); I answer these in order. Apologies there. I'm trying for easy ones for the holidays like October was... but it just doesn't seem to be working out for me this time for some reason... Maybe I'm cursed! XD

Nestly, one last time, I have no idea who you're quoting, but I've specifically said to NOT take spellings from the source code, because some of our non-English speaking as a first language artists have multiple spelling mistakes there, which cannot be changed, or we'll lose the item image. I've also said that I'd never copy and paste an answer. And the website, as I said, does not just have it spelled incorrectly, which would be an entirely different matter; it's, in fact, spelled correctly more places than not. Also, I did say that I hadn't noticed it, because I honestly hadn't. And I'm actually equally frustrated that people blame their lack of checking for correct spelling on us. If I make an actual mistake (like not knowing that the Trivia has issues with symbols, for example), then, yes, I'll happily apologize, and have, But I won't be apologizing for the Trivia not accepting incorrectly spelled answers.

points one post below yours

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

our answer arctic frost for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Walker and 25sP

YAY! This new one is so easy

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really wanted the Walker but had no clue despite hunting. I always seem to know the answers when there's a prize I don't want. Got this one right at least.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debi didn't make and doesn't control misspellings around the site, nor should she have to be responsible and/or apologize for there being those misspellings. I believe there is a Sticky in the Forums for correcting such mistakes - in Main, I think?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Shadow, if you had actually read my posts, I said that I did write one, but then Keith said that the format is going to change completely, so it would be pointless to post it and then just have to edit and change everything for the new format.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Never mind my latest comment about the FAQ.. I somehow thought that this:

"I had one written but then Keith said that the Trivia format is going to change after the site recode, so there was no point to adding it."

Was in regards to a new trivia, not an FAQ. Clearly, I need sleep.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: Aye, please disregard my attitude there. Taking frustration out on random people on news posts is really lame. Sorry. poofs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: Reading over the comments now... I'm sorry Debilee but, your comments annoy and frustrate me.

A simple, 'I apologize, we made a silly spelling mistake on the site. I didn't realize this and we'll try not to have this happen in the future' would be fine.

But some staff members seriously sound full of themselves sometimes.

Instead I hear this: 'nope, sorry, it's your fault! Even though the website has it spelled wrong, you should've known, even though we clearly suggest you take the spelling from the source! Oh well! Too bad! Even though a lot of people made the mistake, they should've known since we posted a warning about it forever ago somewhere that you can't see!"

Honestly. I'm sorry it's just like, some people only want to sound right all the time. A simple 'sorry' would mean so much.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event!
I'm sorry, but your answer of artic frost for the trivia was incorrect.

If it wern't so irritating it would be funny!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

What? I feel dumped.. -.- How should we find the right answere if we are not able to copy from the page with the same text cause its spelled wrong there?>.< bitingintable

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Nestly: What the heck?!

Wow that's... really annoying. I answered with arctic frost in the last trivia yet, somehow that was incorrect, yet, the answer was indeed, arctic frost.

It's just annoying since I actually felt smart for figuring out that one. Is there anyway to confirm that my answer was correct and receive the prize? That's so not cool dude.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Finally one that I managed to guess XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer arctic frost for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Walker and 25sP Thank you!....This one is another easy one! YAY!!! thank you debilee

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok so I'm not alone here ^^ That deer looked like voldemort (honest!) and it was reused.. I say the Walker should also be reused.. But I guess that depends on the number of winners, doesn't it?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I would love to see the prize reused it was cute. I think the staff is doing a good job, I just needed to whine and now I feel better lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And Debi, if it'll help, I'll bang pots and pans until you reuse this one - and the last one LOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I liked the prize, but I don't like it enough to go pay obscene amounts for it.

I don't know why the staff seems to be so opposed to a Trivia Guideline/FAQ/Whatever anyway.. every time we beg for one, it goes unanswered.. Now, I could be wrong.. maybe there IS one in the works, but to the average user, understand that it LOOKS like you don't think it's that important.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I actually missed the last two Trivias in a row, and now have 2 more minions to buy from someone else LOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it too ^^ I'd love it to be reused cause I was too stupid for the last question...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I really like it, it looks like an evil bear, and I like both evil and bears. xD It would be great if it could be reused. (I lied to myself before, but if you're going to re-use it then I could stop now xP)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, usually, there's a huge clamor to re-use them... I'm trying to figure out if people didn't like this prize or what exactly. I thought it would look spiffy with a Nightmare Kumos.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't know where, exactly, you're taking that It's been said from, because whoever said it is partially in error; I certainly never said that, but still, it begs the question that it isn't just misspelled on the site, it's actually spelled correctly as well. If it were only misspelled on the site, like Machien, I think it is, on the one Vending Machine (Prize Get? The Engrish one, at any rate), then it most likely would never be used as a Trivia answer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I guess it doesn't matter, anyway.. There's nothing that can be done now, I'm just making my point.. Either way, it would be great if the prize could be re-used, even if it's on a hard trivia, that would give us another chance of getting it..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It was spelled more than one way on the site, so saying that it should be what's on the site doesn't really enter into it; it's spelled correctly more places than not.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If I'm understanding your question correctly, just Maleria... although Maleria is NOT the answer! XD

Thank you Debbie! <3 ok i know the answer submit and i know this for future reference now, yay! ive lost before because of that mistake

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It has been said that the answer should be the way it's written on the site. This avoids confusion when things are spelled differently in different countries etc. This time for instance the "Artic Frost" is a make believe place. I would just have assumed that it was a play on the word "Arctic" and was being uniquely Subetan. Lol I thought that I would just buy a Walker instead but incredibly people are asking 9 million Sp's for them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If I'm understanding your question correctly, just Maleria... although Maleria is NOT the answer! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but, yes, spelling correctly to achieve a correct answer is commonsense. The Trivia is an automated script for awarding the prizes; it accepts the correctly spelled answer only. No one has ever said to use the spelling on the page the answer is on, unless people have erroneously posted that on boards, which wouldn't be official; I had said that Advent Calendar had happened to be spelled correctly on the page that that particular Trivia question quote was taken from, not in general. Personally, I'd never copy and paste an answer; there are occasional accidental double spaces on the site that could make a copy and pasted answer incorrect as well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Grrrr.. I copied and pasted 'artic frost' off the page. I wish I had taken a closer look at it before submitting. hits head on computer

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

slushienator- That's what I'm saying, not what debi's saying xD That's what on the site, it doesn't matter if it's misspelled.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Is it against the rules for someone to tell me if I must write the answer in full, or just the name? I'm not asking for the answer directly, I know it xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok, I'll just try and make a mental note of it: "In addition to searching for the answer, you must also be sure to mentally correct Subeta's somewhat atrocious spelling and grammar." Check.

I'm not mad, really.. I just really want a Trivia FAQ... OR for all the typos on-site to be corrected.. the FAQ would probably be easier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, this one is EASY!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think Debbie is right. Even though I didn't enter the last Trivia, your answer should have been what's on the site, typo or not =/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do like the prize, I'm just lying to myself xDDD I'm sure I'm not the only one who got it wrong because of that mistake..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh gosh I know the answer but I dont know wether, ok, say for example the answer was Maleria The Dark Goddess, (which it is NOT) i dont know wether we must put the full name in or just 'Maleria' Dx Good lucl everyone /;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Because, if it's spelled two different ways on the site, then the correct spelling (which is also the one used multiple times on the site) would obviously take precedence over a typo.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And that is not commonsense.. I thought about it for a while, then came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what's the correct spelling, because the answer was taken from that page. And it helped that everyone always say "use the spelling on the page where you found the answer"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">On that one I honestly didn't notice the typo till wayyyy after either. I hardly ever bother going there... evidently I have no virtual sense of direction either. XD

Just keep going left? Since it's a random sequence of directions, so better keep trying a same sequence everytime XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yea an FAQ for the triva would be helpful with those that don't know what 'No Article' and stuff means.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ordinarily no, but it's also been stated on OTHER trivia questions that we should put our answers exactly as they appear on the site... how are we to know which rule takes precedence?

Could have also been avoided by having whoever writes the text on game pages use their spell-checker.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't like it when prizes are reused. It makes them worthless because you usually pick an easy question to compensate for the earlier hard question.
