Stef Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I don't think any of the 11000 members will even bother to start calculating to just answer a fluffquiz answer. -_- this is simply ridiculous. You said you had an entire page of calculations before you. I have answered all the CSQ's from Aurelius and attempted quisses of over 60 questions regarding WH40K, what you ask me to do is use science, mathematrics and modern days weaponary instead of the good old books. Well....no I'm on the officer's side here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmCjkh Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 And how exactly is this fluff? its like me asking whats the most missile launchers one could cram into 5 force organisation charts. (except mines a little easier to understand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Ok, ok, maybe that question was a tad unreasonable. Right... Drachenfels is a Lunar class cruiser. 3000m long, 500m high (excluding conn tower), 300m wide 1km enginarium, 100m ramming prow. if half of remaining 1900m is given over to lances, then 950m is weapons batteries. assume each deck is 3m high (including thickness of deck plating). to prevent recoil stress from ripping ship apart then at least 1 deck spacing between gundecks. eack gundeck is 3 decks high (1 opticon, 2 space for gun) therefore, each from gundeck floor to next gundeck floor=15m so max gundecks=(500-50)<allow 50m for maneouvring thrusters, defence turrets etc>/15 =450/15=30 gundecks 40 gunbays per deck, so max (30x40)=1200 gunbays each gunbay is 20m wide, 12m high and 30m deep each gunbay has 1 gun, 5m height, 7m width<inc. recoil dampers& traverse equipment>, 20m length <but in battle only 6.5m in bay> ergo, breach diameter 3m, and likely shell length of 5m volume of shell: PIrrh=35.34cubic meters. warhead volume[assuming 1/3 volume is propellant and detonators]=23.56 cubic meters if 1 tonne of explosives takes up 0.7 cubic meter, then shell has 33.66 tonnes of explosive force. 1 salvo is therefore approx 40.392 kilotonnes of explosives. Replacement question: What is the name of the inquisitor who first postulated the existence of daemons? and FYI everyone, I devised the first question to challenge the google fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I am afraid that the google fans can't be defeated by this kind of questions,.............hmm, in fact these kind of questions can, but they defeat everybody. Google is a kind of problem that doesn't fool the quizmaster, but the attendants themselves. This is a thing i learnt from Aurelius rex. I just know many of the answers here are rip offs from the internet, makes me sad, but does it make the thread bad? noo, i still learn every day thx to this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Rex Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Google is a kind of problem that doesn't fool the quizmaster, but the attendants themselves. This is a thing i learnt from Aurelius rex. Heh! Cheers Stef. :D I am like Mr Miyagi (sp?) or Yoda or something! Only without being a two foot tall unconvincing green hand-puppet. Probably. I am quietly saving all my good fluff questions for when the Chapter Specific quizzes (CSQ's) and general fluff quizzes come back out of hibernation in the Autumn, where anyone found to be using Google will be tutted at in a disappointed tone. I am not a mod and so can't get my hands on a melta weapon, so a stern look will have to do. :( So this thread serves a valuable service to keep those fluff muscles toned until then, and I believe that Stef will be the next general fluff Quizmaster, followed by me. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 thats true. With every available fluff source i have (various articles, books, rogue trader stuff etc) i have now started the fase of selecting questions -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_fifth_horseman Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 It's not that I tried to cheat. Said goodbye to the question, since I did not know, and outta sheer curosity tried to check around if there is any info. I did not intend to break any rules.

dwarflord1 Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 It's okay, Rex. The other non-teacher side of Yoda though is the badass little green guy that flies around smacking w/ a tiny saber and teaches on the side. Take that approach. I agree with Rex and Stef (having been on the receiving end of Stef before) and I find Google to be an easy way out - which is why I haven't tried to answer the last 30 or 40 questions. I prefer to stick to the stuff I have in the print and use that. Dishonoring the Machine God is abhorrent and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Perhaps we should get back on topic and answer Alasseo's question? Well, when I say 'we', I actually mean you guys. I definately don't know the answer. Wow Alasseo, another question that got everybody dumstruck. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Inquisitor Dasmasko? (sp) I was reading an article from Gav Thorpe a few weeks back that mentioned this guy - not sure if it's right, but I seem to remember him talking about non-physical servants of the chaos gods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failure590 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Colonel Tamus Sirhan, of the Cadian 124, commander of the Leman russ battle tank Anvilus Imperator won the Order of Macharius following his actions at Vrodken Ford in the draxian campaign, where he lead an attack against a chaos battle titan, firing point blank into its void sheilds with the Battle cannon caused a chain reaction collapse of the titan upon sirhans tank killing him the award was posthomously awarded.

Failure590 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 My question is three fold : Which of the Chaos followers was killed by hidden tube charges in a well placed ambush after surviving a round of sniper fire? And which company did he lead, and who placed the charges. No partial credit ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_fifth_horseman Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Azrael = Weasel-Fierce. Simple for those who memorised Names of Deathwing. Oh, and as I'll be here again after like three days, my question is: What is Suitheakion-Eliath, part of which race's folklore it is and who is needed to perform it? It's complex, but don't worry, it's quite only an average difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
