A New Venture

[machin05]

Now this DNS issue. Is it like when someone accidentally did a reply to all and effectively fucked the entire NHS email system?

Interestingly my first PA did the same in 1998 and utterly fucked the WH Smith email servers. Most amusing.

No, it's more like the royal mail trying to deliver mail but no one has used any postcodes on their addresses. Kind of.

We are aiming for end of October, early November release, the manufacturers have said that should be fine.

Maybe give this thread a bump when they're up for sale

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's a good one. See, I know Pad, but can I second guess what he knows (I know the things he specialises in, but maybe he's got some stuff tucked away).

Hopefully you get it out for Christmas because there's your market.

Intrigued…

What do I specialise in, quiz-wise?

Intrigued…

What do I specialise in, quiz-wise?

Crappy (lolz) rock music
Ancient history (Grecian/Roman)
Pretty good on 80s sport

But you may have other stuff tucked away that I don't know about.

See, I know you'd never take me on when it comes to Wolves, but you might in other areas.

Iron Maiden pre "The X-Factor" and Status Quo pre "In The Army Now"?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I know all the chess world champions in order. Although it gets messy with the FIDE/ PCA split.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Actually chess is definitely an area of knowledge. Love the game. Just wish I wasn’t so shit.

 

[Tony Towner]

That looks an interesting game, good luck with it and I'm sure you already know this, but boy you are punching

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If you want it as a question:

Steinitz
Lasker
Capablanca
Alekhine
Euwe
Alekhine
Botvinnik
Smyslov
Botvinnik
Tal
Botvinnik
Petrosian
Spassky
Fischer
Karpov
Kasparov
Kramnik
Khalifmann
Ponomariov
Khasimdhanov
Topalov
Anand
Carlsen

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Tal and Fischer are my favourites

 

[Keef]

Doesn’t sound like a cyber attack. More a DNS fuck up of epic proportions. Should be back now apparently.

Read that and thought it was the conspiracy theorist and angry bloke ex of this parish getting his own back

 

[AndyWolves]

Looks good, always like a board game for gatherings!

 

[Papper]

Not software, its an actual physical game, a card based trivia game.

Definitely a niche market then.

 

[Papper]

I suppose it definitely has a market, but I think quiz shows, pub quizzes and quiz games have quite a wide appeal. I'd say our game would be in the same bracket as Trivial Pursuit, but without sounding insane, we think, and people who have play tested it for us, have said it's better. In Trivial Pursuit if you're playing with a couple of people who are good you can be sitting for ages getting bored before you get a turn. In Strong Point you're involved even if it's not your go.

Hope you do well buddy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Thank you. What is the likely delivery time as I could do without spending too much this side of payday?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ordered. I’m going to accept a bit skint to push your efforts. Good luck.

As from now our game is available to buy from Amazon, follow the link if you are interested:

I just listed: Strong Point - A Trivia Game - It’s Not Just What You Know... It’s Who Knows What You Know, for £24.99 via @amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09LJZRXB9/ref=cx_skuctr_share?smid=A7KJ084ZN4VP6

How does the Amazon listing work. Do you have to pay to list it or a commission for each sale. I'm considering purchasing but would prefer that all funds went to you rather than Bezos take a cut.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Just received my copy. Hopefully it will make the recipient at Christmas very happy. Initial look at the box it’s really well put together and looks very professional.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Bought one on Amazon just, looking forward to getting it out over Christmas.

 

[Sniffer]

Mine arrived today.
Disappointed that the discount code Dendoncker Rocks didn’t work.
