It Belongs in a Museum!

It is with much pleasure that I am able to announce to you all the results of a lot of hard work on the part of my good friends, Joe and Paula. They have created The Origin Museum, a web site dedicated to archiving and providing information on the unexpectedly vast world of Origin collectables. It's quite an impressive undertaking -- check it out today!

Trivia 3, Week 3

CIC/agwc trivia rolls forward to week 3! Good luck, everybody!

New Questions for Week 3 (starting November 13, 2000):

Question 5: Where is a place the Morningstar Heavy Fighter was tested?

Question 6: Where is a place the Excalibur Heavy Fighter was tested?

Bonus 3: Where is a place the Wraith Medium Fighter was tested?

Answers may range from specific points in space, planets or simulated locations.

Please email answers to ChrisReid@wcnews.com before November 19, 2000.

Question 3: Who was someone that participated in an important battle over McAuliffe, and what was their specific role?
Answer: Many people chose to discuss Winston Turner's exploits in the initial 2629 blitz. The second most popular answers centered around Tolwyn's role in that battle or an engagement five years later.

Question 4: Who was someone that participated in an important battle over Earth, and what was their specific role?
Answer: People who did not pick Tolwyn for Question 3 picked his command of the fleet in Sol during the big bad Battle of Earth for their topic. Actually Duke Grecko's role in the suicide bombing of the Hakaga Carriers was extremely popular, especially among players who've played in previous games.

Bonus 2: Who was someone that participated in an important battle over Vukar Tag, and what was their specific role?
Answer: Lots of Bears and Banbridges here, depending on whether the players wanted to talk about the fleet battle or fighter engagements. There were some nice Chekova and Grecko answers as well.
