100 Members Event: Questionnaire!

[Tara]

Here's what the event's description is:
Questionnaire event. Where I post a list of questions, and everyone who plans to enter PMs me their list of answers. The topic will be locked to prevent people from posting the answers, because I don't doubt some people won't read the rules and will post the answers instead of pming me. I tally up how many people got which questions right, and for each one that you get correct, you receive a retro. The higher the number of questions correct, you receive a bonus in the rarity of the retro. The person with the most number of correct answers receives a bonus retro. The event would remain up for close to a week.

The event has ended! Now we need to get the prizes claimed/sent out. See my posts further down on this page for more details.

[Tara]

Entries are closed. I will reveal the results (hopefully) next week or so. Please be patient. I know it's taken me a while, but I have no idea how I'm going to calculate these points into retros. ._.;

I'm kind of confused as to how this will convert into retros.. I believe I'll have it be where each question answered correctly gives you a certain number of points, depending on its difficulty, and each generation of pokemon requires a certain number of points. You can choose multiple pokemon, but it will be random, and you can choose what you want to spend your points on. Does that sound good to everyone?

[GenepeOrgel]

Sounds fine to me~
Btw, if you need assistance, feel free to slave use me.

[wardnpendragn]

Agreed~ The points idea sounds like it would be interesting. So we would get a narrowed down idea of the prizes, but still have that element of surprise to it.

[Aeri]

That sounds good to me, too. c:

[Tara]

Mmkays. So. I've finally gotten everything figured out, so now I'm going to list everyone's points that they received for the event, and then how many points it costs to get a random Pokemon from each generation.

Points scored by the participants
WardnPendrgn: 17 + 5 = 22
CocaineCouture: 12
Flagella114: 23
Supermario: 26
HurricaneScrambles: 3
Aerilyana: 20 + 2 = 22
ManateeExpress: 10 + 4 = 14
Marche: 22 + 13 = 35
NekoYami: 23 + 5 = 28
Fakt13: 19 + 2 = 21
Sakura1617: 19 + 1 = 20

Points required for one Pokemon of a specific generation
Gen IV: 2 (or 2 Pokemon for 3 points)
Gen III: 3
Gen II: 4
Gen I: 5

ALSO: I have some of the answers to the bonus question.
BONUS: Give a list of some of Tara's obsessions(both the Dastardly Deeds Tara and irl/VDex Tara apply).
-DD Tara: power, powerful Pokemon, shiny Pokemon, hoarding Pokemon, collecting Pokemon, laughing evilly, Lucius, obsessive hatred for her father/sibling, etc., etc.
-Irl/VDex Tara: Marche, shiny Pokemon, hoarding Pokemon, bidding in auctions, winning auctions, spending money, cats, dragons, magic, books, internet, computer, Kindle, Alucard, Orochimaru, evil people in general, horses, showing horses, riding horses, etc., etc.

[hurricanescrambles]

What about Marche for an obsession? :3

I had the absolute lowest score. 3 points. I suck ;-; I thought I got more than that.
*commits pokemon suicide*

[fakt13]

Sweet! 21 points! When do we choose retros?

[Tara]

..oh derp. And Marche is top of the list as an obsession, too! D: Thanks for the reminder. x3

Hmm. I think I'll just let you guys go ahead and start claiming your retros now, then. Just post how many of each generation you want, and I'll let you know what you got.

It seems like, pointwise, Marche won the event hands-down, but that's only due to the bonus points. The winner, who made the most points off of the questionnaire, was supermario!

[fakt13]

Um...3 gen 1, 1 gen 2, and 1 gen 4 ok?

[Tara]

That works out perfectly fine. ^^ I'll randomize them and send them over later on tonight.

[Marche]

Is there any way I can get 11 Gen IIIs and donate the other 2 points to science?

[wardnpendragn]

For mine, I'd like 4 gen2's and 2 Gen3's whenever you get the chance. (mostly tradeblocked myself, so... no rush xD)

[Aeri]

Sorry, didn't see this until now.

Could I snag four II and one I please? c: And the last point.. don't really care what happens to it o.o

[flagella114]

Ok, sorry for my really late lateness but I'd like 4 Gen I's and one GenIII
.....that is if it's not to late to collect.

[sakura1617]

hmmm can I have 4 gen I's?
