Crackiversary Party Game: I smoke more crack than you

[amari_z]

Ever wanted a chance to make use of your vast knowledge of the Crackiverse? Well, here’s your opportunity. Answer the questions below in the comments and prove your bona fides as a crackhead.

Prizes? I did promise prizes didn’t I? Get 12 points and I’ll link you to a download of a majority of the songs on the Crackiversary Play List (about a third of them I only have as protected files, so those can’t be uploaded). Whoever gets the most questions right—what, bragging rights aren’t enough for you?—will get a walk on role in the fic. (Some of you suggested Lancelot as a prize, but, after legal consultation, unfortunately, I’m not insured for the liability issues that raises.)

This is open book, and everything ever written about teh crack is fair game (no looking at your neighbors' paper, though, comments are screened). Have your answers up by Thursday, January 29. Winners will be announced on Saturday, January 31.

Have fun!

12. The knight responsible for the Great Bathroom Flood was:
c.Tristan
Correct!

13. Arthur was king for how many years:
d. Fifteen
Correct!

14. Agravaine and Kay’s hair color (in order):
d. Dark and light
Yup! (And I'm very impressed that you got this one)


15. The knight who likes chocolate milk in his cereal is:
c. Galahad
Correct!

16. Place in order of original death (extra point if you show your work):
b. Lavaine-Died before Galehaut did
d. Galehaut- 3 years after conscription. Was dead twelve years before Lancelot died. 15 years for Lancelot's conscription because Arthur was king 15 years and became king when Lancelot died. 15-12= 3 years.
a. Tor-5 years after conscription
e. Dinaden 4-5 years before Tristan died 15-5=10, 15-4=11 years after conscription
c. Kay -12 years after conscription

Correct and good job! 2 points

17. Place in order of original birth (extra point if you show your work):
b. Tor
d. Galahad
a. Lancelot
c.Gareth

Not quite. This one's hard. The correct order from youngest to oldest: Galahad, Lancelot, Tor and Gareth. It's a little counter-intuitive, I realize, since Tor mostly acts like he's five years old. Gareth, who you got right, has been mentioned as being one of the oldest of the conscripts several times. Tor is actually the next oldest of this group, which you can find out in the kitchen scene in Myths, where Tor, encountering Kay and Lancelot, thinks: "Tor had always been intimidated by Lancelot. Even as a boy several years Tor's junior, he had been terrifying." The one that I think is actually the least obviously stated is that Galahad is younger than Lancelot. As far as I can remember, we mainly get that as an impression from how Lancelot talks to Galahad and from the idea, stated in a meme at least, that Galahad was among the youngest of the conscripts.


18. Agravaine died how many years after conscription?
Ten
Correct!

19. What person[s] where behind Kay’s missing boots and what were their movtives?
Galahad and Tristan. Kay said that Galahad's clothes were womanly and asked what was going on with Tristan and Dinaden which pissed Tristan off.
Correct!

20. Barlow is: Emo Gryffoyn's dog.
Correct!

21. It maybe be three years since Resurrection appeared on this journal, but in the crackiverse, how long has it been since Lancelot was resurrected?
Three months.
Almost right, and this is always going to be guestimation. In Twilight's Kingdom, we hear Arthur thinking (three days into Lancelot's coma) that three months have passed since Lancelot was resurrected. After that, although it's never specifically stated, it takes a few more days for Lancelot to wake up. The narrative doesn't make this crystal clear, but at least a day has passed no matter how you read it. Then there's the period that Rumors covers (at one point Bedivere tells Lancelot it's been out his coma for about 72 hours ("You woke in the morning day before yesterday. It's now just after midnight."), and then the narrative covers a few more days after that. Partial credit for being really close: .75 points.


Total: 20.5 out of 23. Excellent job smoking teh crack! Even Kay's impressed! :D Announcement about prizes to follow (there's also a super sekrit prize!)
