Total Quiz XII - Thank you for playing!

Well, but she didn't have a competition for which woman could bear out more men...

Lavish parties, would imply orgies or they just ate grapes?

It said she had lavish parties?

Parties in Rome, that were Lavish were orgies, or perhaps Gladiator fighting

1)Third marriage
2)Husband killed her
3)Lavish party
4)Used second marriage to gain throne, as she did To third
5)Gave birth to Emperor child
6)30 years younger then him

Wink-Wink-Wink out of 6 i got all the clues?

Sorry this was puzzle and even though i didnt get the right name, i would want, and no insult 1/2 points for that

Same with Curse of Tutan-khamom

Operation Barbarossa started in June 22 1941

It was supposed to be started in March 1941
But difficulties in Yugoslavia from 6 April 1941, made slight Changes of Hitler plans

War with Finland was in 1940
Finish war, where people died

If author implies that war started in 1941 with Soviet Union, he is mistaken

Am i now gonna get banned, for speaking truth, or be rewarded as i should adlist point, or maybe more

Those two questions deserve 1/2 points each adlist

This was puzzle and i solved that

Better idea, Decebal. Then someone would see true competition... ofcourse if all questions would be made by Poirot and you and Dawn and TJK in the top then it would be truly interesting.

I protest . A quizz with only questions made by poirot would be a nightmare. I would be searching in circles for hours with no idea of where to find the correct answer.  

It was told in the question that the Emperor had her executed. That means he didn't kill her himself. Do you really think the Emperor kills anyone?

Ahhh make it a round robin affair might be fun.   Paul are you by chance  carlos alter ego?

In addition, I would like to thank assistant moderators Dawn and Poirot for their assistance in operating this quiz and in question writing.


It's actually been over one year since I've been moderator for the TQ, so I'm actually looking to step out for the next one. I am not sure who will take over as of now. Poirot said that he was interested but communication has been slow since he's busy in India at the moment. Most likely, they'll also be an assistant role (like Dawn's for this quiz and Poirot's for the previous) to help score the quiz and write questions. If you're interested, let me know through PM. (Priority will be given to veteran participants and strong question writers). I'll also be writing a new software script for the TQ that will be much more flexible and easy to use for the new moderators who will take over.

There were some questions regarding a few questions written by Poirot. I will have to wait until he gets back (which I'm sure he will tomrrow) in order to re-evaluate some of the scores.

Finally, I think this was a fun TQ and I'm glad we had a lot of participants this time. Thank you all for playing! We will have another in three months, so please check back!

Some Roman emperors were killers off and on the field.

So, how should i know
I would wanted adlist 3/4 points more to 4/3/4 , because i think, its not about me being first since i cant, i deserved adlist bit more points, on grant

"The new player award goes to...

Emperor Barbarossa
for outstanding performance as a first-time participant"

I did not expect to be anywhere near the top 10 in my first quiz. I guess I got lucky.

Poppaea isn't correct because she was the second wife of Nero, not the third, and was only 7 years younger than Nero.

Also, partial points are only given if the answer given is only one part of a multi-part answer. Partial points cannot be given if the answer is correct to some part of the clue but not to another. For example, if the answer requires both "Jefferson" and "Adams" and you only give "Jefferson," then .5 points will be given. But if the question has 5 clues and you find an answer that fits 4 of the clues but is incorrect for the remaining 1, the answer cannot be considered correct and partial points cannot be given.

I hope that's clear, and I'm sorry for any misunderstandings you might have had.
