Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do not understand the answer to the previous question at all O.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The last one was found via the Easter Shop.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

question ... how was the previous answer determined? i think i missed it, if it was explained.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sigh all the questions lately mean I have no chance for accessing the blue building cries I'm no good with the oblique site clues or the numbers/letters sequences...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The trivia has been up for 36 hours and counting o.o That's hardly ages, I think DebiLee usually waits until 1k have answered, and it hadn't hit that yet this morning. =/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

bleh i found the answer to this after i already put another one yesterday

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ermm when will this trivia end because it has been going for like ages.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

when will this trivia ever end...?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

DebiLee, whats wrong with translated into german? if you mean helony, i have posted there the german translation, how i understand it and somebody else postet his translation of the question.

helony isnt a cheat-site, but im not the person who could perfect english to understand the question -.- i only asked somebody there, if my translation was correctly like this -.-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't believe I found it in the nick of time! I can certainly see why this is tricky for some though...I had all but given up for the most part myself!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope i got it right as i love the prize! It didn't take long to find what i think is the answer but i am still not sure

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well that took way too long to end up with just a guess again. oh wells....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I may have the answer right. Sometimes I wonder if the acrobatic site hacking involved with the search for answers is an issue. Someone mentioned changing the url for the previous trivia and I can see why I would never have gotten that one. It's not something that I would have looked for outside the context of the holiday.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OccamsRazor, Trivia blatantly means: "The lower division of the seven liberal arts in medieval schools, consisting of grammar, logic, and rhetoric." For you to say that the last trivia was a math quesiton, thats a misunderstanding. No one said it was a math question. It was a puzzle...A riddle..That is why no math was involved...And by saying that you want an actual trivia, rather than having words to describe something else, read the definition above...=/. What you said is basically hypocracy. "consisting of grammer" words and finding words that mean the same thing is a type of grammer. Plus, the trivia on subeta are suppose to be hard...Very hard. Otherwise, the trivia prizes are just pointless if everyone can get one...And not to mention that being a newb on the site, no one expects newbs to get trivias right because they have no knowledge in subeta. ALTHOUGH, if you continue to be persistant like Aimee said, ANYONE can find the trivia. Its all a matter of persisting on places to look for within subeta. There are many places a trivia could come from, all it takes is for people to explore those places.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think... no, I hope I got it ;___; I really need that doll xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Tiff I gave up a long time ago and just put anything as my answer. lol. Looks like I will more then likely be buying the Elephant.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It is really hard, man. Even looking stuff up hasn't helped me here, so I just ended up guessing. Too bad, I like the doll.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

just gotta say that this prize is one of the cutest ever. rock on

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I havent understood the last few....17 charcoal spheres that collapse? and a math puzzle that didnt seem to have any math to it LOL

Personally, I would prefer if the Trivia question was really TRIVIA and not some exercise with a thesaurus.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

dont give up amanda, its quite easy

"DebiLee just might take her marbles and go home!" Lewysgal No need to worry...she'll never find those marbles. The hamsters hid them well! XDDD

I was wondering where my Brain hampster Fred got those marbles from... He just came home with em one day and wouldn't tell me where he got em from..

The Trivia is an auto add; that's why there is a link in it. In order to disable comments I'd have to hand add the news for it... but then there would be no link, for yea verily I sucketh and know not how to maketh said links. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This one is hard, ergh. Still no idea.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I gave up looking for this one after over a day of searching... I finally just put whatever sounded good to me.. More then likely it's wrong. But I don't care.. I can always buy the Elephant if i'm wrong

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have to totally agree with Ginger. You win some, lose some. It's a game. Get over it. Having walked in her shoes at one time, I totally appreciate what Debi puts into this. Oh, and I didn't get an apple - forgot all about the Easter shop. I'll live though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

maybe close comments. I know other games that have trivias, dont allow comments. I see past trivia discussions in the Games forums, maybe thats' where the trivia comments should go. Then the trivia can still happen for everyone. Everyone, including myself complain about trivias, maybe a few, maybe one or two, maybe all of them lol in this world you can't please a single person with anything.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with Ginger! I actually found the last trivia by Googling something. . .can't remember what, when I happened upon the news post from the Easter Shop. And wham there it was. You look in all the usual places and if you haven't found it by then, I think luck plays a bit of a part. Bottom line is, DebiLee adds the trivia. We play by her rules. If we keep gripping on every trivia, DebiLee just might take her marbles and go home! Then no more trivia!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

When you live in someone else's house you can't tell them what color the carpet should be grin if DebiLee puts up a trivia I can only find the answer to by standing on my head and reciting the alphabet backwards then she can - I learn a lot by failing at these things and get over the bitterness of defeat eventually.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No, well, that's just my point, everything is findable somewhere. I honestly didn't care about the last trivia itself, there was lots of real life stuff on my part. Yes, I like it more when the trivias are harder. But it seriously isn't as simple as "anyone could've gotten it with a bit of effort", you can say that about ANY trivia. Maybe I put any condescending tone I found in there, but that's what I was initially grumpy over, and I guess it evolved. Sorry. But whatever, I'm done. -goes to submit some three-yr old news trivias-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Bleargh! I meant FORUMS posts, not News posts; it wass definitely in the News posts.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, the current Trivia was translated into German on one of the cheat sites. (Yes, I'm on your site occasionally, watching your answerz XD). I have no idea of how accurate the translation is, though, as I only speak French.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you DebiLee you clarified your point very well... it was the same point I was trying to make. Trivia's area always Subeta related unless stated otherwise, therefor they are findable somewhere on the site, so regardless of if you're account is 1 day old, or over a year old, it's all in how determined you are to look everywhere for the answer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Someday, someday... we'll have a trivia that's worded perfectly, no confusion, and not too difficult - that everyone can answer, and then no one will be upset. Oh, wait - but the non-English-as-native-tongue speakers will still be upset. And the prize will also end up pretty much worth the same as a Free Gift item, cuz too many people got one, so people will still complain about working for nothing. Hrm. Guess Trivia will never be able to please everyone.

I personally, being on this site for almost two years now, and still get twice as many trivias wrong as I do right. There's no favoritism for older players, because everything is able to be found somewhere, somehow.... except possibly the Red Demon Plushie lore - way too few remaining players even knew that little factoid, and I was not one of them XD

But there is a need for nice trivia questions that haven't been done before (or a similar one done before.) So submit some good trivia suggestions, everyone! Give us an example of what a good trivia is supposed to be, especially if you think the Trivias have been lacking something lately

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually, that's a perfectly legitimate Trivia question. No, not everyone can get every Trivia; that's what makes them Trivia. You could most likely also have found the Easter Shop link somewhere in old News posts. And some of the 200+ people that won who had had the apples up in trades were definitely not longterm users, just persistent until they found the answer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No, I actually never directly said that the elephant is wearable specifically, but I definitely implied that it was, because, well, it is. XD I actually had only said that it couldn't be a plushie; people figured it out from there. However, I did say that I think it looks like the little doll dangling down from the HA's hand. Also, I did say that there was a clue given, in the sP amount, 408. A little over 200 got it right; same as the cloak. I paid over 9 million each for both my cloak and my apple (no, I don't just get handed them for adding the Trivia like most people seem to think). The last one was more than long enough; there were over 1800 answers. The Trivia generally ends some time after 1,000 answers, but it can be 500 answers, especially if there is cheating. It won't end in less than 500 unless it double posts, contains an error, or pertinent information changes, because that would allow people to find it and post the answer, in an attempt to get it immediately shut down, in order to make their own prize more rare and valuable. Sorry, ain't happening. If fewer than 100 of an item are won then it gets reused. Neither the cloak nor the apple qualify, as, as I said, over 200 of each were won.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Same Ginger, I'm not mad, but I just think there should be a reasonable cap as to where you'd have to look for a trivia...technically, everyone -can- get every trivia, if you know where to look. 22 weeks back? Otherwise, I could ask "What item is presumed to have destroyed Shinwas Temple?" It's "findable" too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I thought DebiLee was implying that the next prize wouldn't be wearable because the past handful, including this one, was, but perhaps I misread that comment.

Also, I heard from Philosofish that this prize is a toy, not a plushie or minion.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I admit I didn't go back through 23 pages of old news and read all of them so I didn't see the easter shop link - but I did spend hours looking for the answer and was doing the right thing in other places with the help of my trusty calculator and coming up empty - it was very well hidden and I hope my comments are not taken as oh I am so mad at the trivia - it was a very tough but findable trivia.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The problem is, what new user who didn't know about the Easter shop would have thought to swap /index for /easter? Whatever way you look at it, this question was decidedly one-sided to older users. I knew about the easter shop myself, and had it bookmarked year-round even, but my bookmarks got cleared a week or so ago and I couldn't re-find it. Plus, I think any Trivia that wants you to ferret through old news posts (which are getting bumped out and deleted every day) is rather questionable, even when you know that's what you're supposed to be doing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I understand about having to know your way around subeta to get the trivias, but even though the easter shop is probably seasonal, it just...doesn't sit right with me. If you can pull stuff that used to be on the site but isn't any publicly released, why not pull stuff from other old news? Can someone who hasn't been here for years tell me who found a totem of a goddess of subeta? I'd like you to not imply that people who didn't get it due to not knowing simply didn't spend enough effort on it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for your replies And, of course I want it more than ever :p I put in an answer, but had a few I was trying to decide between... Maybe I better go earn some sp, in case I have to buy one

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually Debi said the Elephant will NOT be a wearable as it would be too many wearables in a row.. It is just a minion nothing more nothing less.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Orchipea: yes, Debi has said that it's -not- a plushie, it's a wearable, much like the Bunny Voodoo Doll

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

From past comments Debilee has made, 200 is about the number of winners she likes... So I would not hold your breath on the apple being used again.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, and no Orchipea, it's not a plushie. It is indeed a wearable item. DebiLee mentioned so earlier in the comments.

No one was given any hint or clue that the answer was found in the easter shop, so no one was hard-pressed to go looking for it in that particular place. Most likely it was found by those other users because they took the time to go through old news and exploring places that happened to be posted in the news, and happened to stumble across the easter shop.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

agrees with blague Yes that's a very good point. At least the prize will be reused in the future, since less than 500 won... right? I got lucky because I had the Easter Shop bookmarked from back then. This one confused me for a bit, but I think I found it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Is the prize a plushie? I thought I heard someone say it was wearable, like the bunny voodoo doll... and while I'm taking a break from beating my head against the wall, I was wondering just what it is I am destroying my brain over
