Pro tip - If the question is about a flag the version with no flags at all probably isn't the one it's about it.Quote:

Hell, I just gave you the key to answering every last one of those flawlessly with minimal effort so you really aren't in a position to complain.Quote:

It's not an error in the database, it's just that there are two items with the same name in the data. The database, unfortunately, does not know which one is more common, so a person browsing it might become confused.Quote:

Are you sure it's not a database error though? The answer I put and the search result I got are inconsistent, but I went against the database answer and got it correct. Both the flagged and unflagged version are incorrect though, I only linked one as an example, but the mistake in question is that it says "Green Huntress Pants" are a Thief item on both results. Sorry in advance if this is just a misinterpretation on my part.Quote:

Did you attempt the quiz while logged in to Southperry (or are you using "remember me" to always be logged in)?Quote:

5/5. Use the SP Database.
http://www.southperry.net/spdb.php
Liking the questions so far. They require a bit of effort which is fun. :3
Got 5/5 on first round.
Edit: this also confirms it can be done via iPad.
4/5 right, ambition question threw me off. ;_;
Everything can be found in the sp.net database regarding specific numbers.Quote:

This event is amazing!
I'm getting this as well.Quote:

At home. Works fine. 5/5.
For me the question was about a normal class-specific equip. I thought that cause there's 2 versions, the question means the normal one and not untradeable event version. I saw it as just a tricky question.Quote:

One of my questions was about a map that couldn't be found in the SPDB. I'm resourceful so I figured out the answer anyway but I can't tell if that's intended.
What was the map :f6:Quote:

The quiz was using the same logic as the filter so questions and answers should be right, and now the DB is displaying correctly and it should not be any further issue.
A Golden Temple map (can't find any of them in the search for that matter):Quote:

Yeah, but the missing name means it shows as "Location: "Quote:

Alright, 5/5. One day down.
I'll be awaiting round 2. :wink:
I don't have a problem. I'm just saying this based on questions/concerns from some of the people that have posted in the previous pages.Quote:

Not complaining just interested in knowing.
By going and killing the boss? That's what i did...Quote:

Done?
Well, I know there's a Database now after checking this thread. I saw the event button flashing, which caught my attention before I checked the forum.Quote:

I think the key to this event is not taking it personally when you get one wrong, no matter how much time and effort you spent making sure it was right. I ain't even mad, it's fun and interesting (the questions are way better thought out than I thought they'd be).
It'd be great if at the end of the event you can see what questions you got wrong though. Also if we can keep going after the 35, just for entertainment value?
Phew. I was worried the event had already started haha...
And stumped on the first question. I'm already feeling its going to take me a while to get the chair.
Goes to show its been a while since i've active here since I quit Maple Q_Q.
:f4:Quote:

Er, I have a problem with one of the questions. It asks me what job archetype can use a certain weapon, but there's a different version of that weapon for every job.
Any tips?
if everyjob could use it, then its probably not that answer, as it shouldnt be a choice if i had to guess.Quote:

The thing is, there are 5 answers, one for each job. The weapon comes in all varieties. I basically have to make a lucky guess at this point.Quote:

No where does it mention it can be traded with a PSOK, unless my Firefox is hiding something from me.Quote:

5/5 today. Easy questions.
It was in the DB but the page wasn't showing it due to the changes from the last update.Quote:

cool broken bad questions you got there guys, you certainly are convincing me that this is the place to be.
At least with everyone else I don't have to worry about an ordinary item i see all the time somehow managing to be the untradeable version without indication, or inaccurate trait exp values that i got from this very website.
You seem mad.Quote:

Let me guess, you tried to google the answers when it encourages users to go search it in Southperry.Quote:

While it's truly tragic that you've only gotten 8/10 right and may have had to take entire extra day to get the prize I'm sorry you're so upset you felt the need to register just to tell us you're not a fan.Quote:

I believe I got the same question, 'Grand Maple Amethysian Ash Lord' correct? There is only one with that exact name.Quote:

Question: Under what terms is <item> tradeable?
Answers: Always, never, SOKable, PSOKable
^I'd say never, since they have a "Tradeblock" tag. Still, that is a good point.
5/5 checked answers on database today :D
10/10
No database use yet though...
Hoping it stays this easy :D
Yay! I'm excited to hopefully get a chair! I've been here from the start, and I've love to represent SP!
Oh and 5/5 today =)
Everyone should note the potentially score changing update in the OP, as well as the public results current participation.
Isn't this somewhat self answering?Quote:
Originally Posted by MapleCookie

I was making a logical guess based on the SP database, they do still have a form of tradeblock tag, but they are tradeable until someone equips them.Quote:

Don't take the user number as a solid limit on people participating for codes. There are a significant number of people that aren't signed up taking part too.Quote:
5,000 codes and just <2000 users?
Except he was quoting the total. not the registered users.Quote:

10/10
Enjoying using the database, but don't like how it's set out.
Kind of vague there as far as constructive criticism goes.Quote:

Your event is unique and you have to actually put some effort in, so I commend you on that. It shows you have actually put some effort into it as well.
PS. Don't hurt me.
Which interface are you recommend be redesigned, the quiz, or the database?Quote:

The results themselves are actually template based and easily extended, as demonstrated by the list vs detail views. We can specialize any number of specific result pages per category, but no one has ever requested anything beyond what it shows.
The quiz template is fine, I mean the database. If you wanted, I'm sure you could make a real attraction out of it, considering you are using it as your main focus for your current event.Quote:

Or is that issue with Thief/Bowman being mixed up still a thing?
ffff i missed one. there goes a day delay
5/5 once again. :f2:
@Eos; I think a great addition to the database if you could kind of space out or somehow separate the results. Seeing 3-6 monsters all the same level it does take a little more effort to keep track when doublechecking. Other than that I'm surprised I haven't abused this feature before
Oh sadness, 14/15 as of today. I have a feeling that I derped severely on who founded SP. :f4:
