Civ trivia problem

[Black Fluffy Lion]

This isn't really a technical problem and I don't want to give anyone bad ideas but...

If you use the same user name for civtrivia as you do for apolyton's forums and you have your e-mail address on display then someone could easily get onto your file and get the question wrong for you.

Lets hope no one stoops to that level. This is all just supposed to be a big fun game for the community to play.

Plus, I think I will do just fine getting the q's wrong on my own, thank you very much.

Thanks for the bad idea
Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

I have noticed one strange thing with the trivia:
to this day, there has been two questions(I have got two at least...). I didn't make the first, but it stood afterwards that it gave 30 points(I think so at least ) The question of today gave 40 points as far as I remember, and I made it! Well, well...

Since there have been only two questions, 30 and 40 points each, the highest score possible should be 70. BUT, the best players have gotten 120 points!!! How can this be???

50+30+40 = 120

You can not get the oldest question. If you miss one day it is permanently missing.

OK. When I now opened civ3.com, and clicked on the trivia link, I got a message saying I have already answered the questions... But I have only, as I have said several times, answered two!!!

OK! So that's the reason! Thanks, Gramphos!!! But I was into the site only some few hours after the news... I must have missed it by some minutes or something...
