Knightmare FANSFAQ update

[HStorm]

Those of you who were keeping an eye on the main forum about a month ago may remember I had the idea for a new, super-comprehensive reference guide for Knightmare, what I called the Knightmare FANSFAQ (Frequently And Not So Frequently Asked Questions).

The first draft of version 1.0 is nearly complete - big thanks to, among others, Kieran O'Brien and Rachelesque for their help with it. Most of the entries are now in place and the main body of the document is more or less intact. (If anyone would like to see what I've done so far, please contact me and I'll e-mail it to you. The document is currently just under 150k. ALL feedback, ideas and corrections you can offer will be most welcome.)

But one of the ideas I had for this project was "Anorak's Corner" - for the seriously hardcore KM devotee, I need to compile an in-depth list of statistics for the history of Knightmare. What I need from everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - is suggestions for what stats I need to include.

A few ideas I'm already including...


How many times Treguard said, "Oooooh nasty!"

How many times Treguard said, "Oh dear, what a pity!"

How many quests ended with a dungeoneer falling to their doom.

How many times Merlin forgot his own name.


But I need more! Please put your ideas on this thread for me to research and include. And although it is essentially just a laugh, please don't waste my time with genuinely daft suggestions.

By the way, I just realised that this is Topic 150!

A few more I've thought of:


How many times did Mogdred boom at someone to "Quail!"?

How many pond-life references did Lord Fear use for Lissard?

How many people criticised Lissard's bad breath?

How many people did Cedric call a dogsbottom?

How many dungeoneers died in level 1?

How many dungeoneers died in level 2?

How many dungeoneers died in level 3?

How many perfect-score riddle contests were there...
- in total?
- against Olgarth?
- against Granitas?
- against Igneous?
- against Golgarach?
- against Brangwen?
- against the Brollachan?
- against Cedric?
- against Snapper Jack?

How many dungeoneers did Motley ask to teach him a new joke?

[Drassil]

One question that I have started wondering about is... 'Which part of the country is the best at Knightmare?'

To answer this - if I had time - I would use a map of the British Isles, putting a little 'W' at every place which was home to a winning team, and a little '3' at every place which was home to a team that lost on Level 3. (Possibly with '2's and '1's as well.) It could be a question worth answering.

[HStorm]

That's a BRILLIANT idea, Drassil, I'll get onto that. That'll be a really interesting thing to research. (The answer might even be my home county of Devon seeing that two winners came from there.)

[Snowcat]

Or draw Glasgow down because the team died so suddenly!

AAH what the hey... Gopherit

[HStorm]

I'm a half-Weegie myself, Snowcat (born Devon, brought up Glasgow). And I know from personal experience that it's a city well worth drawing down. ;D

[HStorm]

Oh and if anyone wants to volunteer to help me look up the answers, I certainly won't turn you down. ;D

[Doodles :)]

Whenever the main site is working properly .

[Doodles :)]

Well some of the answers are on the main site, which is not working properly tonight.

[HStorm]

Oh I see. Well I'm more interested in getting questions than answers at the moment anyway. ;D

[ringmasterrob]

This is a great idea, I must think of a useful and amazing question.

[Lord Fear]

Here's some questions I thought of:

How many times did Lord Fear gloat?
Who did Lord Fear gloat to?
How many times did Lord Fear take the p**s out of his own minions?
How many time Sly Hands tricked a Dungoneer?
How many times gig Skarkill say and I Quote "LOVELY"?

[HStorm]

I'll take the Skarkill one, thanks, but the others are a bit too generalised. Keep trying though!

[Skarkill]

"How many times did Lissard refer to Lord Fear as Lordness?"

[HStorm]

*Scribbles it down.* Good, good! Keep 'em coming.

Now that the main forum's back in action, please post all further suggestions to the FAQ thread on the Feedback board there. Thanks!
