To celebrate Ragol.co.uk's first birthday, i'm running 4 different competitions in which YOU could walk away with a nice little set of Phantasy Star Online, Episode I & II goodies! These prizes are a small collection of randomly selected items/armours/weapons/rares/meseta, etc. that are only obtainable through playing the Nintendo Gamecube version of Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II and by playing Online. If you don't play this version of the game, especially online, then don't despair, you can still enter the competition. If you win and are unable to collect the prize because of any of these types of reasons then you can simply donate them to another fellow user of your choice! Just enter, test your skills, become the first ever Ragol.co.uk know-it-all!

This competition tests your knowledge on the world of Phantasy Star Online! 30 questions, 35 possible points up for grabs! You've got until the end of the week (Sunday) to answer them. When answering the questions DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE instead send them to this e-mail address (Stated Below), with your answers clearly written beside the questions number. Also don't forget to add your username, otherwise how am i going to know whos answering it!

The competition closes midnight on sunday, so make sure you've got them to me by then. After that the answers will be unvieled and the winner will be announced within 24 hours! The winning user is the person who scored the highest amount. In the result of users having exactly the same amount of points, then a tie-braker question will be asked. More details on that if necessary.

All users who score 35/35 will be rewarded with a special plaque they can display in their signature, the overall winner will get a special plaque to display aswell as one of the possible 4 prize packages!

I ask that you don't browse over to other sites, but how am i going to stop you! Besides some answers you won't find on the internet!

Good luck, and remember, even if you can't recieve the prizes, still enter, it's all a laugh, and in order of Ragol.co.uk's 1st Birthday! The competition's open to everyone, including Moderators! I'm the only one who knows the answers!

Thanks for playing and i hope you enjoyed it while it lasted!

[Travvell]

Well... Runner up is nice to... Sounds better than lowest score

[decswxaqz]

heheh. It's a shame more people didn't enter....

[Lee-yoshi]

Yup, real shame, i thought it was gonna be quite popular...how wrong! lol Maybe i should have just mentioned less questions, because for most, i think it took quite a while to do, but whats the point of a quiz if theres no hard questions! Maybe it should have been a PSO Quiz, instead of a PSO MEGA-Quiz!

I am only one Yoshi, and when i do something i do it to the Max! Obviously in this case, the max is not the best...

Whats done is done! Hope you 2 both enjoyed the Quiz, and maybe stunned a bit by not knowing the answers to some of the questions that now you know the answers to...you say those immortal words..."now why didn't i know that!".

[Phantom_RAcast]

I was going to enter but I was to lazy

[Lee-yoshi]

I was going to enter but I was to lazy

lol, yer i think that was the problem with many! Lazy weekend!

[EDIT] Thanks to Decs, the prize has been handed over to Travvell, who chose to accept Prize Fund 4. That leaves Prize Fund 1 for the 'Create-A-Weapon' contest which is still going on until next friday. Go on, create a weapon you'd like to see in Phantasy Star Online, and then get it judged by a top class team of...judges! (Click the Link in me Sig!). Decs doesn't walk away empty handed though, he has obtained a special little plaque he can display in his signature or anywhere he wishes to do so. Thanks again to all!
