The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
I'm beginning to wonder after diminishing returns on the first 3 quizzes in terms of participation if having everything in one thread is making people unaware of new quizzes being released. So from now on I'm going to change up the structure of the Quarantine Survival Threads a little bit:
1) Starting from now, every new quiz will get its own thread. The 3 prior quizzes will remain in the original thread just because separating them is finicky and potentially troublesome given that the site isn't at its most reliable right now in terms of stability.
2) The stickied thread will be replaced with a new sticky that serves as a Quarantine Survival Hub, linking to all the threads and segments of this project, as well as featuring the master Quiz leaderboard
3) For now the Question of the Day will remain a single-thread for as long as it doesn't display any of the issues the quiz series has had. The Memorabilia thread will also remain as it is and I don't expect to have to change it even if it burns out.
I'll talk more about behind-the-curtain stuff later if it's warranted, but for now, on with the show.
TOPIC: Iconic Moments in Sharks History
"Called shots, iconic goals, comebacks, and amazing plays. The history of the San Jose Sharks is littered with iconic moments for the team on and off the ice in their nearly 30 years in the NHL. but while everyone remembers Owen Nolan pointing at the net, Barclay Goodrow capping the Sharks' furious playoff comeback vs Vegas, the arrival of Joe Thornton in teal, or SJ Sharkie precariously dangling in 'No-Shark's Land' in the Tank's rafters, how much do you know about the facts around those moments? With that in mind, rise to one of the most challenging quizzes in my arsenal and test yourself on your familiarity with the intimate details of the biggest, most memorable, and most iconic pieces of the history of this team."
QUIZ PERIOD: Thursday, April 2 through Saturday April 4
-------------------------------------------------
Difficulty:
I know that the more challenging topics may have contributed to the lower participation rate, but I still feel like the most interesting topics come from the most challenging criteria. With that in mind, this quiz is difficult because it asks you to remember a lot about the aspects surrounding those great moments, like the opponent or members of the opposing team. Difficult, for sure, but it's also a good test of how broad people's knowledge of the biggest parts of team history are.
Questions: 20
Time Limit: 10 Minutes
Answer Type: Specific (for the first time, we're using the "specific" answer format. Instead of just being able to rapid-fire potential answers into the box and fill in any question where it fits, you will be asked each question one-at-a-time and have to provide the specific answer to it. You are free to navigate around to any specific question you wish to answer (there's no limit on how frequently you can "skip" or return to it), but any answer you give must be for the question that is currently being asked.

I'm starting to think I suck at judging how difficult these are supposed to be .
