<div class="IPBDescription">Questions that is...</div> Ok. So me and a friend got bored last night, and started playing triviabot on mirc. I started whining about the questions, cuz i'm good at that, and we decided to write questions based on natural selection to add to the questions.txt file. So I'm really lazy, but I'd like to get a whole bunch of q's together. So far I've got around 100, here's a few:
NS Trivia: Who's the playtest lead (nick of guy in charge)*Grendel
NS Trivia: How much is an Infantry Portal*fifteen
NS Trivia: What do you need to drop a prototype lab*arms lab and upgraded armory
NS Trivia: Which map has Refinery hive*ns_bast
NS Trivia: Amount of res skulk starts with at the beginning of a game*twenty-five
What I'm really looking for is anything BESIDES the numerically valued answers (i.e. not hp, dmg, cost, etc) cuz those are fairly well covered. Any additions would be very helpful, even if they're duplicates, cuz my answers could be wrong (make that probably are <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) Also if any of the above is wrong, please, correct my stupidity <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
P.S. How about some really tricky ones? hehehe..... Like uhm, pre 1.04 questions. I know nothing of before 1.04, so NS "history" (to me anyways) questions could be fun =p

The correct answer would be "command console" (or, on ns_eclipse "computer core" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

It is outdated. It mentions babblers (and that is when I closed the window it was open in). There is a page for 2.01 damage, but I don't know the address.
Isn't there a refinery hive in another map? Also, asking what MT stands for isn't really fair, as it could also mean motion tracking, and usually people refer to Maintenance as maint. Where is there a maintenance on bast? I'm not saying there isn't one, I just don't know and I want to know.
well it was an example u christ n00b christ !

hth
heya, these are great, but youhave to form them in such a way that the least amount of input is necessary to answer it, the trivia bot basically waits for you to get an EXACT match to the answer. so if the answer was ns_bast, andyou typed bast, or ns bast it'd be wrong.
you want to make it as easy as possible, and not a typing frenzy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

yeah, it's all by a bot, so you have to make the answers really short <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

framerate <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Actually, it was the jetpack's thrust, not its refueling rate, that was affected by framerate.

It is that <s>good</s> bad. 40 damage per second is nothing. Bite deals 180 damage per second.
