Hello All!
I need your help to create a list of elements related trivia questions for my new chat trivia game!
The more questions, the better the more fun the trivia game will be!

Non-Numerical based Questions and Answers should be submitted in the following form:

@trivia.Q.2.Y = [What is the upped name of the card "Lightning"]
@trivia.A.2.Y = [Thunderbolt]

Where @trivia.Q.2 implies a question of difficulty 2.
Difficulty scales go from 1-5 with 1 being the easiest and 5 being the hardest.

Numerical based Questions and Answers should be submitted in the following form:

@trivia.Q.4.Y.N = [How many Aether cards are available for purchase from the bazaar]
@trivia.A.4.Y.N = [15]


If you have a question you'd like to add, please reply! Following the correct format allows me to add the questions much faster and is much appreciated!
Feel free to make these questions as difficult as you like; however, please be specific and accurate. Inaccurate and broad questions will not be used.

Note: a players response will have to be word for word what you put as your answer, including punctuation (not including caps). I currently don't know how to add questions that have multiple possible answers without breaking the program (yet) so try to refrain from those even though those are some of the best questions :(

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with and competing with you all in chat!

(Note: You don't need to include '?' in the question.)

My default opinion of a new card is OP. Your job as a card creator will have to be to convince me otherwise.
Happy to help with questions regarding upped PvP

blarp, wouldn't it be better if peeps PM'd their questions to you?  Otherwise, all suggested questions are available for anyone to see, which has the potential to make the trivia game less fun.

Just a thought.

There should be enough questions that this doesn't spoil the game. And if any of the competitors feel like using this thread as a study guide, I doubt that it would be very effective.
However if this becomes an issue, I'll do something to address it.

@trivia.A.1.Y.N = [12]

Hey, if the rating system allows for easy questions, there should be some easy questions. ;)

@trivia.Q.2.Y = [What is the name of the Water shard?]
@trivia.A.2.Y = [Shard of Patience]

Willing to accept adjustment of difficulty level on this one.  It's easier for vets but harder for newbies.

Good idea.  I was posting them as I thought of them.  I'll put them in a text file instead, and post once a day from now on.  Thanks for the feedback.

choomgmyoung i disagree with your answer to which elements have quanta producing creatures surely rustler produces life quanta even if you have to have light to produce life.

@trivia.A.4.Y.N = [125]

@trivia.Q.4.Y = [what is the maximum damage you can inflict with one catapulted creature?]
@trivia.A.4..Y = [125]

Isn't that 150? And you should write "@trivia.Q.4.Y.N"
/
Hmm.. How can I describe that creatures, like gnome or RoL?
Or yeah, I will just correct the answer to six. (If then, Devourer should count)

no my maths makes it 125 if i've got the formula right it is
100*x/100+x (w/o freeze)
1.5(100*x/100+x) (with freeze)
where x equals the creatures health.
The max health a creature can have is 499 unless i am mistaken the sum works out as
1.5(100*499/100+499) =1.5*83.31 = 124.95

I thought the max damage was 100, missed that max HP is 499 :( You're right.
