A new Knightmare FAQ

[GrimaldineGrimwold]

I'm tempted to find that one out for myself, hehe.

[HStorm]

Well if you can find out, GG, I'll include it. If you can't I won't.  ;)

Anyway, here is the current list of questions that will definitely be in Anorak's Corner...

     How many times did Treguard say, "Oooooh nasty..."
     - overall?                  
     - in each season?            
     

How many times did Treguard say, "Oh dear, what a pity"?
     

How many quests ended with a dungeoneer falling to their doom?
     

How many times did Merlin forget his own name?
     

How many times did Mogdred boom at someone to "Quail!"?
     

How many pond-life references did Lord Fear use for Lissard?
     

How many people criticised Lissard's bad breath?
     

How many people did Cedric call a dogsbottom?
     

How many dungeoneers died in level 1?
     

How many dungeoneers died in level 2?

     - against Igneous?
     - against Golgarach?
     - against Brangwen?
     - against the Brollachan?
     - against Cedric?
     - against Snapper Jack?


How many times did Lissard refer to Lord Fear as "Lordness"?


How many times could the sound of a horn be heard?


How many spyglass sequences were there?


How many people were trapped in the stocks, and how many times each?


How many times did Elita call someone a faceache?


How many different insults did Elita use?


How many times could actors who normally played main dungeon characters be spotted in the background as extras?


How many bloopers were there throughout the series?


Which quest was the longest?


Which quest was the shortest?


What was the average timespan for a quest?


How many different ways to get from one level to the next were used?


How many dungeoneers flew on Smirkenorff?


How many times did Smirkenorff accept a dragon mint as fare for travel?


What's the highest number of characters any one actor has played in Knightmare?


How many different spells were cast throughout the history of the series?


How many times did a wall monster threaten to "feed on" a Dungeoneer?


How many times did Mrs. Grimwold call someone "dearie"?


Which region of the country was the best at Knightmare?


Anyone who has answers to any of the above, please send them to me ASAP as it'll save me some research. Although I do know already that Treguard said "Oooo nasty!" only twice in season one.

Sorry if this has already been included, but I can't see this one (it seems such an obvious one as well):

How many rooms/scenes were encountered in total? (When the same room is used for different quests, count it each time that room is used, and with tunnels, only count them if anything happens in them, not if they simply walk through them. Count the descender as one room for each time it is used (not two), and ditto the Smirkenorff flight sequence).

[HStorm]

Mm, I'm a bit nervous about including that one, Joe, it's a very big ask. Let me think about it.

[Kieran]

Might be a bit tricky, that one!

[GrimaldineGrimwold]

Thought of another-

How many times Majida used the phrase "Eees too Deefeecult".

[JoeGrocottJames]

With the RPG, according to the logs on the main site, there are two winners, one in season 1 and one in season 2 (the last team, with Hiltono, aka Oliver Hilton from Dunstan's team in series . However, the FANSFAQ says that only one team won, in season 1.

[JoeGrocottJames]

I think that there should be a mention of the FANSFAQ on the main site FAQ - just a link at the bottom. I personally would not put it in a question as such, but put, I think in bold, at the bottom of the FAQ: "There are further questions answered in the FANSFAQ" with the word FANSFAQ linked to the FANSFAQ.

[Illusion]

Good idea! Will do that. Thanks.

Couple of hours early, but version 2.0 of the Knightmare FANSFAQ is now available to download. Go to the above link if you want to see it. Every question in the document has been updated to some degree, and there are quite few new questions included as well.

The growth of the document is quite disturbing. Version 1.0 was, if memory serves, around 170KB. 1.1 was nearly 240KB. It's now 300KB, so it's becoming an unwieldy beast by any standard.

Afraid the RPG section hasn't been updated yet, but will be ready for the next tweak in April/May. Also, any feedback, including possible corrections and suggestions for new material to add in, will be welcome.

Weird...it won't open. An error message comes up saying "Can not load Word for Windows 6.0 files".

EDIT: Never mind, it was a Windows XP thing - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=870883 . Fixed now.

A few things I spotted -
John Woodnutt died aged 81, not 83 (maybe the 'has' out of 'has appeared' should be removed too).
The Anglia Gold game was called "Shadow of the Technomancer", not "Hand of the Technomancer".
NKTP ran from 2000 to 2002, not 1999 to 2002.
Lords of the Game was filmed in 1993, not 1992.

[HStorm]

Thanks for those, Billy, I'll include those corrections in the next revision.

[Pooka]

Maybe add something about Wall Aid in the 'creative ventures' section?

[HStorm]

FANSFAQ 2.1 is now complete and ready for download. I've got a new Windows XP computer, which won't tolerate earlier Wordpad documents, so I've converted the document to Rich Text Format. I recommend opening it with Wordviewer 2003.

As before, you should go to this page...

http://havetstorm.tripod.com/knightmare/id34.html

And Save the Target at the foot of the page. As ever, any recommendations/corrections for future releases will be welcome.

(Thanks to Kieran and Forester for updating the RPG section.)

[HStorm]

Version 3 of the Knightmare FANSFAQ is now available from the usual place, with new sections for Q-Nightmare and the Audio Play.

There's also a new topic added to the 'Controversies' section (question 9), discussing whether the series was offensive.
