I am attempting to join the chatroom (http://sydby.com/carcassonne/irc/index.html) but it just keeps saying "Connecting." Do I need to pre-register somewhere?

Here come the results :D

This time Online Quiz had a success, we had 7 participants! Unfortunately, some participants didn't show up, but some others did instead.
The Quiz took exactly 1 hour (for 30 questions), which I think is OK. Some questions could be answered only by guessing (IMO), but still there were some interesting facts about Carcassonne as a game and as a city, and Hans im Glück as a company.
And now the main part - the numbers (after I double-checked the answers I entered in Excel) :D

Willem88 - 18 right answers from 30 questions.
glh510 - 19/30.
Dragonlord - 20/30.
Just a Bill - 21/30.
Leven - 24/30.

And...

We have two winners!

cletus81 - 25/30.
Dirk2112 - 25/30.

Congratulations!!! :(y) :(y) :(y)
Both of you can choose a prize (write it here) and, please, send me your postal address by PM.

Thanks everyone who took part! I think I will repeat this for other members in the future ;)

A hearty congratulations to cletus and Dirk!

And a hearty thank-you to MrNumbers ... or after today's A-B-C quiz, should I perhaps call you MrLetters?

Wow, I didn't expect to win, I thought 25 couldn't be enough!  :))

My first pick for the prize is Windroses (is it the rare version with N. W. S. E. right?);
in case Dirk2112 chooses the same prize. I can opt for the Besiegers.

Many thanks to MrNumbers for running this online quiz!

Wow this was unexpected  ;D.  Leven and Dragonlord were so quiet during the event, that I thought they had it in the bag. 

Can I have the Russian tiles? 

Also, thanks again MrNumbers for hosting such a fun event!

First time, I've used IRC since before facebook, and I've guessed some answers very badly  ;D

You are welcome! Still I love numbers more than letters ;D

25 of 30 is very good result, taking into account that some questions included pure guessing :)
Yes, it is HiG edition, with NWSE. It's yours! :D

They are yours! :D

That was fun! I guess im too restricted to carcassonne alone, as i didnt know much about the spin-offs and HiG, so those questions were a disaster hahaha.
Im looking forward to playing it again sometime!

So am I. Considering that, I'm quite surpised that I had 24 correct answers. I had no idea about most of the questions about spin-offs but I had a few lucky guesses.
Congrats to cletus81 and Dirk2112, and thanks to MrNumbers for organizing this fun quiz.

You are welcome! Just one more lucky guess, and we would have 3 winners! :D

BTW, the prizes are sent to the winners. Expect a postman soon :)

On a side note, I want to find out, who is potentially interested in this Quiz in the future, given that the prizes are the same. For now it is without certain date, just the potential participants (whaleyland, for example ;)). When we know the amount I can plan to re-run the Quiz for other members.

Yeah, sorry for disappearing like that. Got some bad news on Friday and kind of forgot entirely about this quiz. In any case, I am still interested and still need the Russia expansion tiles, so keep me informed. Maybe PM me if I don't respond after a set time. I try to follow all the posts I can, but sometimes forget to follow ones I actually posted on. Oops!
