What is the Quickfire?

It's a game developed to help students quickly access information at the sound of a keyword. The QIA (Quick Information Access) helps you in tests and has proven in real world examples to improve the students knowledge of a Subject. The Quickfire enhances this part of your brain and it focuses on General Knowledge, Life Experiences and Specializations (Like Math, English, Science, History.)

How it works: The game is simple and takes place here in Online Chat. You will have a limited amount of time to correctly list off, or quick-fire, as many things that relate to the topic provided by the Game Host. Topics range from general knowledge, Special Knowledge and Life Experiences. Rules: 1.) Stay away from Google a. This competition is meant to test what you know in a limited amount of time, using google will slow you down. 2.) No sharing answers a. This is a free for all 3.) All answers must be submitted through the private chat window a. This is so the Game Host can keep track of who gave what answers and so we don’t spam chat 4.) YOU must attend the quick-fire and you must be in Online Chat. I will not accept someone posting answers for you. Questions: Q.) How will I know when a Quick-fire is going to take place? A.) A Quick-Fire is essentially like a pop-quiz only it was developed, by me, as a review tool for high school students. I will not give exact dates or times of quick-fires. Q.) If you don’t announce them how will we know to attend? A.) 5-10 minutes before a quick-fire begins I will announce over side-chat that a quick-fire challenge is being held in Online Chat. Q.) What prizes will there be? A.) The Quick-Fire will work on a total points system where at the end of each month the top 3 highest total points people will be awarded a prize, most likely staff favor/credits The Points System – There will be two lists, Total Points and Current Points. Total Points will rank you on the score board, Current Points will allow you to purchase special abilities to hinder others and help yourself.

Ex.) Rank Name Current Points Total Points 1 Nitrous 26 82 2 Zorg 35 75 3 Maceybhoy 12 70 4 Altiar 1 59
