Questions will be a mix and have points.. Although it might be possible for some members to answer them all, we will try and balance them. Those who are just forum members would probably not be able to achive the highest score.

Not quite true, just may be more difficult for them.  But as you said, we are trying to give enough questions to make it as fair as possible.  This is for fun afterall.

I should add that some may require you to do some research on the web itself.  Most answers are out there, without having to really have been around since RW started.  There are questions meant to confuse, and some meant to be trick ones, all in the chances of evening the playing field a bit.

Remember that many of us are locked out of some or many of the forums (for instance, I have no knowledge of the Hero Quest posts after they got locked down because I'm not in that group).

Yes we are aware and are trying to make them as best we can.  Just remember guys they are for fun.

Just a reminder, there are more than one prize and it is based on points.



So at the moment there is only one reply, if two other People with at least some correct answers where to post they would also qualify for a prize assuming no one else posted a set of better answers.



The best way to win would be the have the MOST correct set of answers.



It can't hurt to post a set of answers and leave the ones you don't know blank.

Wow, amusing answers, some surprises, and well done everybody -- a round of applause for all who participated!

*extends hands, turns slowly to face all of audience*



Quite a community we have here, ladies and gentlemen...





PS: What was the final decision re. the "extra" mentioned in #20 (" What non-electronic games are discussed by RW members?") I'm wondering cuz although I forgot poker (d'oh! Stupid, stupid!) I did find mention of both BattleTech  (http://forums.righteouswrath.com/viewtopic.php?t=1593&highlight=battletech) and MechWarrior -- oh wait they're the same game aren't they? :-P





And a nice trick with the DNS hosting answers -- a quick WHOIS.net lookup  (http://whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=righteouswrath.com) woulda been all that was needed, I take it  :roll:

No. they. are. not.



That's like saying paper-n-pencil D&D and the D&D card games are the same.  BattleTech is a tactical board game.  MechWarrior is a full-on role-playing game based on the BattleTech universe.  BattleTech has Mechs (and if you get the expansions, tanks, planes, flamer units, and some infantry).  In MechWarrior it is conceivable that you spend the entire campaign just hunting down political enemies and spying on them, with no vehicles involved.



Wait, why did that bother me so?  :shock:

Um, because you (like most of us) take pride in the fact that we are uber-geeks?



I doubt any of us have crossed any way-too-geeky line, like say spending your free time to email "MILF" webmasters and tell them they are missing the "T". :P
