The Apolyton Quiz (for the not so ancients)

[Ecthy]

This is merely about guys that registered 2000 and later, and not about boring guys and events that date back into 1998. so it's not the same thing that gets posted over and over again, with all those questions about Spink, the Green Army, the Petition etc. This is actually interesting.

1. The title of the hero Warrax in the game Master of Magic (this is actually a poster's former name)

2. Who knows what this biochemist would be like without his infamous eternal celibacy problem

(extra point if you can tell the place where he studied)

3. South American poster with the highest post count, out of your head, without peeking

4. The place where Ecthelion lives. Extra point if you can tell the distance to his country's capital, without peeking

5. A Greek in NYC

6. A Kiwi in NYC

7. Month and year when they met up

8. Count 3 sort of OT-famous Greeks (yes, that's right, 3)

9. Which of the Israeli posters (that are actually sort of well-known) is not a migrant from the former USSR?

10. Israeli poster with the highest post count. Thinks that "might makes right"

11. Approximately how many Finns registered (and posted in the OT) since Laz' infamous anti-Finn thread?

12. How many Israelis does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

13. How many Finns does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

14. How many people got banned in Black Saturday.

15. How many lists has DarkCloud created so far?

16. Give the names of at least 2 posters that keep loads of pictures of Apolytoners for whatever reasons.

17. Regular OT poster that had a Slayer song title as a username?

18. What's his handle nowadays?

19. Poster that created the "MP inside joke" that made Ming use that avatar icon?

20. Who was the last non-English and non-American poster to meet Provost Harrison?

21. Poster that has posted the most pictures of himself?

22. Who is #2 in that regard?

23. Who is only #3 but gets mocked for allegedly being #1 by the latter 2 guys?

24. Who could also be one of those first 3 nowadays but I haven't actually counted?

25. Name the city where most Israeli (regular or ex-regular) posters are from? No peeking. Quick guess.

26. What was the former name of the user whose glory faded away after 9-11?

Hint: #12 and #13 are not to be taken seriously. You can get an extra point if you can think of some decent answers
