Can you remove my access to the Beta forums please? No hurry. As I said I don't want to be involved with wasting my time suggesting things just to have them deleted. Know it has been restored in a seperate thread buy I don't like the path LVP has gone down recently, which is my own personal hangup. No need to change the #lvp.beta passwords or anything, I'm not a dick.
I now prefer to spend the few minutes I would typing up something on LVP watching a 2 cats having sex (google for it, good stuff)
And before I go I still think my above suggestion is the logical approach.
Look at its this way. At the moment we have the 'math' and 'first one to type' game. The charm about these is that they are different everytime.
With the questions, which is a good idea, you would need a pretty long list of them, at least 300+.
At the moment you have a tiny amount that would last a day? 3 days later and the players will be sick of them.
And that 300+ would only last for 2, maybe 3 weeks without them repeating alot, getting boring and people knowing the answers because they've been answered already so many times. So it would end up annoying players in my opinion and will make the server 'stale' in the sence its something everyone can see not being updated.
So.. in a month or so, if you don't want the questions to start to suck you're going to have to make up another 300 questions... which costs time for the people typing and for the Devs who have to update the script. Then in another month again, and again... its not practical.
And my suggestion, which was deleted, was to spend 15 minutes getting a list of approx 5000 questions at a difficulty and genre you want via IRC quiz scripts, then your sa:mp or whatever questions can be thrown into the mix.
15 minutes of one persons time v's a fair bit(fair to say hours over the coming months combined?) of other peoples time via typing + posting them and the Devs updating the server. And on top of that you have a nice big set of questions that are fresh always on rotation with no worries of them being looped/used too much.
But maybe you're right and its silly suggestion so you might aswell just delete it.

Anyways, ^--- last constructive post from me on LVP, its been an experience... mostly good and g'luck in the future, looks like you're going to need it.
