Test your SmallWorlds Chronicle Knowledge - The Winners!
October 19, 2009 8:45 PM
There was certainly no shortage of citizens who were up for the challenge...do you know what that means? Simple! There's now a huge tribe of brand new "Chronicle Experts" running around in SmallWorlds!
If by chance you're not one of them and you've got a burning question about the Chronicle, there's now a very good chance that the very next avatar you run into can probably give you the answer you're looking for!
Knowing where to look
In case you hadn't guessed, 'helping you know where to look' was the thinly veiled not-terribly-well-hidden agenda that Kent and Honesty had when they first thought of running the competition. They wanted to show you around the newspaper they feel so proud of. As you would have found (if you had taken the test) there's lot more than just entertainment contained within its pages; although we're very proud of its entertaining features!
For instance, if you check out the Help and Tips section you will find lots of really useful information on Missions, The Loyalty Challenge, Citizens Points... everything you might need to know about playing SmallWorlds.
And remember - even if you didn't take the Test, you can still become a "Chronicle Expert" any time you like... just dive on in and take a look around!

Thanks to everyone for your participation. It was clear from many of the forum entries that a great number of you really enjoyed yourselves. We'll have to design another competition that gets you searching around SmallWorlds for the answers!
Were You Confused by Question 13?
If you're a reader of the SmallWorlds forum, you might have seen a forum thread started by Sorrow Payne (thank you Sorrow!) which alerted Kent to a problem with Question #13, which referred to a photo of the Combobulator.
Kent went back to check the photo in question and found that after he'd given his glasses a proper clean that he did indeed need to reword it to make it clearer... oh he did feel embarrassed. So, all entries received before the question was changed had that question marked as correct, just to make things fair!
Thanks again for your participation. We hope you had fun, and that you've now gained extra confidence in finding the information you need inside the Chronicle!
