The other way to take it is as a fun goofy euros vs Americans off topic game.
I certainly don't expect anybody to answer perfectly, and I'd expect most people to get a failing grade, and its not like I'm gonna be all "lol you can't name the countries that border this place you don't give a shit about"
But at the same time, the american education system is very bad at teaching people about other countries, this is something nobody will argue. And everybody should be able to get one correct answer just on the basis that there are lots of Thai restaurants all over the world.
I want to see if the euros are as bad at this as the americans are.
If you don't want to participate you don't have to obvs, but there's no reason to be indignant about it. If not knowing the answers makes you grumpy you're welcome to go look them up so that you'll feel better. Just don't cheat on mah quiz plz.
While there are a lot of issues with the American education system, this particular problem is not connected to just the U.S.A. Every country is bad at teaching about other countries. You are always gonna spend more time on your own history than others, because if you don't understand your own history you could never comprehend someone else's.

I have done a grand total of Jack shit today because we're nice guys and threw a bone at the company who got us a contract and proceeded to fuck up an order.
At least I got a new razor knife I guess....

Nightblue doesn't waste time with people that can't make a solid commitment. Considering that the ranked team had 0 games last I checked, I doubt that'd work.

I've been running around putting out fires because we fucked up a big order. Coincidence?

That's a shame, because I like Order of Ecclesia.

Christ, why are we doing this of all things. It's irrelevant and boring, especially since Thailand doesn't matter hue.

6 - what are Thai martial arts called? Muay Thai/kickboxing/Ree Singar skin.
7 - name one food from Thailand. Pad Thai (huehuehue). Thai Tea.
8 - what is the capital of Thailand? Bangkok.
9 - what is Thai currency called? Thai Baht.
Notice how everything Thai has the word "Thai" in it.
10 - what is one city in Thailand other than the capital? Nothing but Bangkok actually matters.
But Pattanaya (Pattaya?).

We must establish the superiority of the glorious American education over the silly socialized mess they call education in Europe.

RPG elements make for fun gameplay but a boring viewer experience, which is why I'd prefer to watch someone stream the pure platformer ones.

It's ridiculous to expect everyone to know all of these things for any country, let alone Thailand. It's like asking who is the last English king who got executed.

For a relevant and suitably skill-based test on an important, name as many cities over a million population in China without looking at a map as you can. Any that you name below that threshold disqualifies you.
Go.
+ Show Spoiler +Yes, this is worthless trivia knowledge that won't help anyone ever. I do this because I am apparently not elitist enough.

The most regularly-relevant topic would be the suggestion I made to Magnus, which is a quiz on dank memes.

Why bother having that elitism list. It's Cheep, hands-down, there's literally no argument to be made for anyone else.

it would have been a decent test on how many asians the murricans got exactly, but since we already knew that.....

Anyone who wasn't around to be elitist about BW when SC2 came out is automatically an invalid choice, tbh.
