New Dean's List

[Josh C.]

14 people now have the Dean's list?!?!

Who are the lucky recipients?

[Josh C.]

MSUKent is one....

[Josh C.]

And THEJMAN is the other!!!

Whoooo!

Congratulations!!

[RobPro]

I guess these were engineered by the admin :)

[Josh C.]

What?

[RobPro]

Congrats guys :D By the way, if anyone needs a Geography EP feel free to pop me an email and i'll check out what you got, cheers

[Headers2304]

^ No thanks, you've done more than enough to help me throughout my Sporcle life. :)

[Josh C.]

What's really interesting is that Kent's last EP was Sports.  Never did he EP himself during his tenure.  Really, really, integritous. 

(yes, I did just make up that word. But I like it.)

[Matt Selby]

You might see a few more Dean's List badges in the coming weeks. I hand delivered a list of the users who are close to earning it to the curators in charge of those categories. So if you're close and have a deserving quiz, be sure to get it in front of them!

This is, frankly, one of the things I love about being the editor in miscellaneous.  I can almost always put a quiz in a different category when I contribute it and thereby avoid the temptation to EP my own quizzes.  That being said, I think it's perfectly legitimate for the editors in more specialized categories to EP their own quizzes.  This is particularly true in places where few quizzes are contributed or that are highly specialized like Holiday, Religion and Science. 

Also, I love the word integritous.  I think using it shows that you have great integruity. 

[NYYanks]

hscer just got his!

[Hejman]

Woo Hoo!  Congrats hscer!

[Josh Calianos]

You're messing up the color scheme on the quiz!!!!

No, congratulations!

[Josh C.]

Hi, 

With the new Dean's list badges coming out in hordes (congrats survivor, got his tonight) I have made a SUPREMELY AWESOME MASSIVE OVERHAUL to the quiz!!

This comment will be posted shortly, but we are now color coded to the OCD max.

Bright Green (bazmerelda, skuban) Had badge when it came out, but no Crazy Ivan

Peach (citkeane, druhutch, Chewy, rockgolf) Had badge and Ivan when Dean's List came out, and DL came before Ivans once John backdated them.

Yellowish (Flick, Hejman, LTH) Had both Ivan and DL at DL release, but Ivan came first

Light Blue (Hscer, survivor, THEJMAN) Got badge after release, no Ivan yet.

Purple (MSUKent, slipkid, SporcleAdmin) Got DL after its release, had Ivan before receiving DL

Darker Blue (needapausebutton) Had DL upon release, got Ivan afterwards.

Thanks and congratulations to survivor and everyone else!!

[razorz]

Congrats to rer2121, the 18th Sporcler to make the Dean's List.

[Hejman]

Awesome! Congrats rer2121!

[Tom Pajor]

Great job, rer2121!. Congrats and well deserved.

Way to go, rer!

[Josh C.]

Congratulations Wiggytitch on being number 19!!

Will update quiz when I get home, I'm at a random street corner at the moment.

From now on, lets post the quiz that gives someone a Deans list or Ivan, ok?

[rer2121]

What's that supposed to mean Josh?...*sobs*...What's that supposed to mean?!?

Oh, I almost forgot:

wiggytitch - English Footballers (Images) 

[Hejman]

Congrats wiggy!

[needapausebutton]

... and congrats titch!

[Caramba]

Got my badge an hour and a half ago by getting a pick in Gaming and, to illustrate how ghetto-ized that category has become since being movd into "more", it has gotten 0 plays since being EP'd. Though maybe it says more about the quiz than the category.

 

Dave

[Mic747]

Caramba is the number 20 with Dean's list by receiving an editor pick in Gaming for This Quiz

Congrats Caramba

[needapausebutton]

Aye, you belong on the Dean's List, caramba. With a body of work such as yours - absolutely.

Congrats caramba!

Hey thanks everyone. The oddity is that as soon as I got the most exclusive badge on Sprocle, it was no longer the most exclusive! Reminds me of a Groucho Marx quote.

[Josh Calianos]

Yet you still hold the most exclusive.

Congrats to both razorz & giveupyet. Great to see your mentally stimulating diversity so-recognized.

[razorz]

Congrats to my twin bro, puckett86, for making the Dean's List...6 days after me. Since Movies was the last category for both of us, a special thanks to FearTheManatee for awarding me the badge before my brother. It's not the first time in our lives that I came first ;-)

[Josh C.]

Yeah, congratulations puckett!

Also, I did a little research- of the 25 Dean's Lists, only 2 (skuban, wiggytitch) actually achieved it during college :P

[Hejman]

Congrats puckett, razorz and giveupyet!

[skuban]

Interesting stat, Josh. Yay for procrastination!

And Hejman, stop posting in Swedish. 

... well, Swedish according to Google.

[Hejman]

Ledsen för det, skuban.

[skuban]

Ei ole ongelma, Hejman.

[beforever]

^ ... hurra för förhalning!

[Josh C.]

And gwukelic!

[Hejman]

Congrats gwukelic!

[razorz]

I did a little Dean's List analysis. The reason that some of the quiz makers have a blank # of quizzes is because they earned the Dean's List Badge prior to 2013, and I didn't want to go through all their published games to see when they were contributed. Note that the contributed games category column on the right does not include published games.

Quiz Maker	# of Total Quizzes at Time of Dean's List	Category with Most Contributed Games
survivor	40	History
skuban	71	Geography
razorz	101	Sports

[Josh Calianos]

MSUKent's made 850 movies quizzes??!

[Hejman]

No, he had 850 contributed quizzes when he got the Dean's List badge and movies is the category in which he has the most contributed quizzes. 

It looks like I had 76 contributed or published games at the time of the badge.  Unfortunately, I can't easily tell how many quizzes made before October 27th, 2010 got published after that date.  How did you calculate that number for your list, razorz?

[SproutCM]

I used to keep a spreadsheet of all my quizzes back before there were good lists.  On the date listed for my Dean's List badge, I had 323 quizzes.

[razorz]

The total number of quizzes column was calculated in Excel by adding all contributed quizzes at time of Dean's List plus all published quizzes contributed before the Dean's List date listed on the profile. I had to manually pull the contributed date for games published after each person's Dean's List date. The most frequent category column was calculated using an Excel formula.

[CCCP]

Two more EP's and I join the Dean's List. Come on big money big money no whammy no whammy STOP! Anyways Just Gaming and Language are left. Again thanks to all the Editor's who have been gracious enough to give me an EP for any of my quizzes. I really do appreciate it.

Jacob

[NYYanks]

I'm sitting on 9 at the moment, when the badge first came out, I only had 4. So I'm proud of myself! :)

[beforever]

For achieving that many EP's in a matter of only four months, your success is absolutely sensational.

[CCCP]

@beforever: Thanks, I should have started making quizzes a LONG time ago haha. I have had these ideas for a long time and I am very happy that I am able to finally put them into quiz form. I hope people enjoy my quizzes for thats the only reason I make them, CP's, EP's and Publishes are secondary (very appreciated always) but I just like knowing people are enjoying playing them.

Jacob

[iglew]

How can you tell if a published game was EP before it was published?

[Ubbiebubbie]

You can go to your "Create" page, go to the "Published" tab, and you can see previous EPs and CPs.

[Daniel Hodgson]

Iglew, if you go to the create tab and then click on Published (rather than contributed or drafts) it should have a "*" if it got an EP before it was published.

Aha.  Thanks.

I was looking on the list of published quizzes in the profile, and * and ~ do not appear there.

[Josh Calianos]

And now he has Language. Now Stanford0008 needs to be peer pressured into doing this.

Check the EP board- CCCP is there 7(!) times.

Nice job buddy.

[CCCP]

Thanks Josh, I am very surprised that I have had so many EP's in such a short amount of time. I cant even begin to say how grateful I am for every single one I have received. But I would rather Stanford0008 choose the last quiz based on its merit than just pressure haha. 

Jacob

[Josh Calianos]

Today I upped my deans list from 1 to 3 in 16 minutes! In the words of CCCP: 

Twelve more EP's and I join the Dean's List. Come on big money big money no whammy no whammy STOP! Anyways Just Gaming and Language and Geography and Science and Holiday and Religion and Literature and Entertainment and Sports and Television and Movies and Music are left. Again thanks to all the Editor's who have been gracious enough to give me an EP for any of my quizzes. I really do appreciate it.

And napb and Hejman- thanks for the birthday gift!

[Hejman]

Happy Birthday Josh!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes! And beforever for planting the "birthday quiz" idea in my head with that word ladder that was published in July!

Again... in just four months, that's insane. Respect, brudda.

Congrats CCCP- it's a well deserved badge!

Thanks @beforever and @Hejman, I appreciate the nice words.

[stanford0008]

I'll throw in my congratulations as well. It really is a well deserved badge.

[a-josh]

Two more very appropriate badges handed out today (and yesterday)

Triviahappy and RobPro!

Special note to RobPro- there is no color background in the quiz for what you've done (got Crazy Ivan in July, and Dean's list afterward) so you get "The Special RobPro color!"  Email me with the HTML Code choice for the color that your name will be on.   Or post it here.

Congrats to both of you!

And a thanks to survivor for noticing these new recipients!

[razorz]

Josh, I'm a little surprised I'm the first to say it, but the color thing really doesn't work. It's just too much. Couldn't you just use the extra column to explain the order of badge earning?

[Amazingjosh Sporcle]

Actually, I am getting to the point where I agree with razorz. It's a pain to play, it's a pain to update, and it may need an overhaul soon. 

I'm thinking solid color (except for the RobPro color) and maybë put it in date order.

Ok.  

After long hours of work (and a wasted study hall) I completed Massive Upgrade #2.  Everything is now simpler, and organized by the date which the badges were attained.  

It's light purple and light green (except for The RobPro Color).  

Thanks razorz for your constructive criticism which pushed me over the edge on whether to do this upgrade or not.
