Guide Main Page Questions - Tactics quiz

posted on June 4th, 2010, 2:04 am

How about adding tactics/situation questions for the HitchGuide's main page?

Example:
You're a Dominion: Pure Tech player facing off against a Klingon player on Duel (1v1 map). You scout (you scouted right?) and see one K’beajQ out and their Field Yard and Khaless Station both have a K’beajQ queued. You've got a construction yard built and your mining fully staffed - what do you build next?

a) Bugs
b) Another Construction yard
c) Defiants
d) S-2s

Hehe, you mean as a poll? 

Could be quite interesting . Currently the poll is non functional due to the transition to our awesome new hoster (along with some other features that are important behind the scenes  ), but that sounds like a great idea .

Actually, I do mean as a poll. (well... it is a strat quiz... given as a poll... with strippers)

Should these should be done with no specific right answer in mind, or with a "logical" one-choice thing? I don't want to too heavily constrain people's tactics so what do you think?

either/or - it's not a "right" answer - it's a poll. We'll see what folks think, say - it'll give interesting discussion points (maybe)

Excellent  . I hope the poll will be operational soon, as it'll be nice to step away from all the "which ship is prettier/better/more awesomerererer"

Just as a little update, I did try to use this format for the poll, but due to the way stuff looks ... well... it looked none too pretty, with a lot of text obscuring stuff, so we'll have to wait till the new guide is out
