FREYA'S QUIZ OF THE WEEKby FreyaLast week I asked players to search the Solar System planets for restaurants and write a review of one. Knowing the vast variety of Sol eating establishments, I hoped for reports of some interesting experiences. What I never anticipated was the vast but delightful response! I received a large number of really excellent restaurant reviews - lively, quirky (we like quirky!), opinionated, gossipy (we like gossip!), clever, witty, and even in some rare cases, tasteful, reviews. They picked restaurants that required quite a bit of exploring to find in many cases. These are not your ordinary corner caf és and some of the food was quite a challenge to the taste buds. Wow, smashing response Fedders! In fact, I was so overwhelmed and impressed by the great reviews that it was clear these efforts deserved a PRIZE! So we trundled ourselves over to our favorite surplus sho//err select high class gift shop and ordered an item which we feel is uniquely appropriate for the prize winners - the Golden Escargot award for restaurant reviewing over and above the call of duty. The writers of the top five restaurant reviews will receive this special precious medal today. Like other prizes, it has unique rewards that we'll let the proud owners discover on their own. I really want to share all five restaurant reviews with you but that would take up far too much of the Fed News' space and be much too massive. What I've done is select one of the reviews to share with you today and I'm hoping to persuade Hazed to add a new page to the Fed2 website for restaurant reviews. That way, we can post all the winners of this contest and even more reviews at time goes by. [My newsdroids never back down from a speed challenge... the player reviews are up on the website here - Hazed] So congratulations are in order to Jezz, Zardoz, Zarquad, Kalandra, and Blinx! A round of applause to them all. They will all receive the Golden Escargot order of superior taste, first class; may they wear it with pride. And here is one of the prize winning restaurant reviews for your enjoyment and edification:
Next time you are on Sumatra, take a few minutes to explore the University quarter and try out the food at the Breakroom. Let us know what YOU think of it. The new Fed2 Quiz Question for the coming week is - Find a shop that is special and tell us what is so interesting about it and why, etc. The Solar system planets house a huge assortment of shops, many tucked away in obscure corners of planets and seldom visited except by those in the know and intrepid explorers. Find some of those special shops for us and tell us about them. Have a great week! Send your answer to barb@ibgames.com (please put Fed2 in the subject line). The deadline is last thing on Friday. The winner gets his, her or its name in next week's Fed2 Star - and a surprise prize if your answer is really spectacularly impressive. |
