I made 4 points, 9 if you consider I only read the French version of SR rulebooks, in which Fortescue's name is translated ; I remembered it but failed in reverse-translating it. The Halberstam reference was the second easiest for me, though I only remembered his first name and had to look in the book to find about the second. I guess it would have been a lot easier for me if there wasn't all these boring questions about magic, immortals and novels. Dunno, stick to interesting things :D

After finishing Ancient's questionary I was feeling a bit blue (just plain 31), but since I don't own many first ed books I wasn't that bad. But NMAth, you've depressed me. 0 points (yeah, I knew the seven founders but it's late and I thought the quick way with the 7 AAA corps in 2050s....¬¬). I'm going to bed now, I won't leave it in a couple months...

Thanks :P I just needed a revenge after failing so miserably to AH's quiz. I now have proved I mastered even more obscure elements of SR in my particular field :evil: Mwahahah... |

I got 14 on Nath's quiz but only a miserable 34 on AH's. Most of the answers to Nath's questions has been reprinted or referenced to in SR3 books or available in the novels so they are not as difficult for me as AH's questions. And I do not have a single pre-SR3 book other than the novels.

Considering AH quiz is on 111 points and mine on 55 points, you scored higher on AH scale with 30% of the points, and 25% on Nath scale. |

Yes, and he named 2. I was adding what I think is a 3rd. Or does novel not equal book in French? |

A novel is a book as far as French goes. AH said Aztlan SB and House of the Sun ; you said House of the Sun. You're not adding anything, it still makes two. |

Oops. :oops: Please forgive my total brain fart. For some reason, I thought he was citing Aztlan and Paradise lost. Like I said, total brain fart. After checking Paradise Lost, it seems he was still with us at the time of its printing. |

At 24 points, I'm feeling distinct trivia inferiority.

I'm surprised no one asked this yet. In AH's quiz, number 18, where the heck is the reference for the "turn spirit to guacamole" focus found?

Ah. Found it. I thought he was saying that somewhere there was an item labeled "Turn Spirit to Guacamole" Focus, and it's availability was TN/127 years. I was like, they have an item with an availability of 127 years?!?!??!?!

So how do you use metamagic without initiating?

Going without any books on me, I'm gonna say be a horse shaman, gives you access to the Mobility metamagic. I apologize if I'm wrong. If I'm right I'm gonna go ahead and give myself 17 points, because I want 17 points.

Ok, checked MitS, and no, horse shamans don't get Mobility without initiating. A horse initiate can learn the Mobility critter power as a metamagic technique. So he needs to initiate to get that ability. I can't find any way a character can learn a metamagic technique without initiating.

Are they viable under 3rd edition though? Without referencing any books I scored 83 (assuming I counted correctly with 5pts for even multiple part questions, and 1pt for each bonus answer) I DID know Halbertstam and our six-fingered friends without checking, though, and I think I should receive a bonus point for knowing which books to reference to answer ALL questions. Didn't even try Nath's test though, since the corp info is NOT my forte. |
