Site Trivia

I got yesterday's Site Trivia "wrong" because I said "Bank" instead of "Strongroom". However, this should be right because your EC cannot grow in the items storage portion of the Strongroom (nor can it be deposited there!). It can only grow inside the part of the Strongroom that is called "Bank". Therefore I, and the hundreds of people who probably ALSO put "Bank" instead of "Strongroom" should henceforth justly share part of the 100K.

@extremeblueness
Although "Bank" would be correct, it isn't called the "bank" in this game. It's called "Strongroom".

@whispers Oh yes it is! Go to the bank, and look at the title of the tab. It should say "Strongroom: Bank"

@extremeblueness
But it's official name is Strongroom 😋

@extremeblueness I agree with @whispers. It only says it on the top bar, and not mentioned as bank. For example, nobody calls an Ahjoon "150" which is it's archives ID.

@whispers I'm not saying that "Strongroom" is wrong, I'm just saying that its called the "Bank" as well, which means that if justice matters, those who put "Bank" should share part of the 100K as well.

@extremeblueness
I really think that you should send a ticket in about this. But I think "bank" is there so that people know what the strongroom is 😋

@extremeblueness Yes but they cant have several different answers programmed into the trivia because it a. takes a lot of work and b. may cost more money to program the answers in. Just like if the answer was a Rhinedorf, if you put Rhine in you would get it wrong because they just cant program 2 answers.

@bluegirl80 Actually, depending on how efficient the programming is, it wouldn't take much more coding to program 2 or more correct answers in instead of just one.

@extremeblueness

It's still the Strongroom. Bank is just there so people know what the Strongroom is. The Strongroom is the real thing.

@extremeblueness I think that question might be confusing. I had to ponder for a few minutes even though I was a really expirienced player. Back than, like a month or two ago, @Ian made a change to the strongroom. It could hold travels instead of just EC. So the strongroom lost the purpose of being a "bank". Also, think about it, you get "interest" each day. It might not seem much right now but if you deposit more and more... I've known a few people who get 30,000 interest! So it's sorta like "money grows".

extremeblueness • 20 January 2013 at 12:59 PM

@jennifer I'm aware that the "money grows" at the Strongroom/Bank, its just that "Bank" is just as much correct as Strongroom, as they are both names for the place. And I know who we can call to get this topic reviewed.

@extremeblueness This is in EGG CAVE terms.

It doesn't matter if Ian is able to program it or what it takes, he decides what the right answer is.

The strongroom is not called the 'bank'. It's called the Strongroom - the URL is named '/strongroom' for a reason, it's linked as 'Strongroom' for a reason - because it's a strongroom, not a bank.

Although it says 'bank', it's because the word 'bank' means a place that stores money, and this does exactly that - although it can be referred to as the EC Storage (on the red bar).

The first line says "Welcome to your Strongroom."
The Interest info says "...you can collect interest from the EC in your Strongroom."

It's a Strongroom, not a bank. This is in Egg Cave terms.

@extremeblueness @karamel did a pretty good job explaining what I was going to say. The word "bank" was added to the URL only after the inventory was brought back, only a couple months ago. It has been called the Strongroom, and only the Strongroom, for as long as it's been around.
