Actually not sure of the exact day; might have been March 30th or March 31st as I haven't checked my take numbers in about a week. But I'm sure you got that right anyways!
I noticed today that I've reached 100,000 takes! This is a big milestone for me as a JetPunker. I'm not sure I'm ever going to reach that even bigger milestone of 1 million takes, so I figure I might as well celebrate now with this (slightly self-indulgent) quiz. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years--whether you're a subscriber, a nominator, or just a casual quiz-taker. Here's to the next 100,000!
13/15. Having released your interview helped a lot.
But the most important is to congratulate you for having reached 100k takes. Bravo! That's well deserved. I'm dubscribed to your account for several years now, and I have never been disapointed to receive a notification telling that Watson published a new quiz. It has also been a pleasure to work on some quizzes or translations and talked with you, and I'm sure that it will continue. Thans for all these good moments, excellent continuation to you and once again congratulations!
Thanks for all your support Poirot :) 100,000 definitely isn't the end! It's a pleasure as always to work with you, and I expect we'll have plenty of more collaborations to come!
Congratulations on the 100,000 takes, this is a great achievement! I am also a huge fan of the South Asia in 1947 quiz, I was absolutely blown away by the map. It is a rewarding feeling when you see that so many people are enjoying your quizzes, and I hope to see 100k become 1 million soon :)
Thanks Jiaozira! You were honestly such an inspiration to me when I first started, and I remember after I made my Marco Polo quiz you left me a really nice comment encouraging me to keep going with SVGs--and that advice has stuck with me ever since. I really doubt I'll reach 1 million, because I quite simply don't have time for quiz-making that I did during the pandemic, but thanks for the encouragement! A guy can dream :)
Congratulations on 100,000 takes. There are some interesting facts here. I remembered some of them from your interview, but I did need to do the suggested revision for the rest, though I was a bit slow and had to guess how many QCCs you had entered, which, of course, I got wrong, and then I was too slow scrolling to the charts question, which I would have got correct.
Thanks SpiritofFire! This wasn't meant to be that hard but maybe I didn't take into account enough time to scroll through my stuff. Still, glad you enjoyed it and learned a little something about me. (I sorta wondered whether releasing this quiz would be a bit self-centered of me but I'm glad people are enjoying it.)
