My first feature

On 2020, April 9 I released the Quiz Modern Day Countries of the Japanese Empire on a Map. It became an instant hit getting a lot of takes, comments and nominations. It was like I hit the jackpot and yes I did as my life changed after that, not just in Jetpunk but my real life too but that is for another day.

Before making that simple ordinary Map Quiz, I had already made some big Map Quizzes like the NYC Subway Stations Map Quiz but I never got such an awesome response from any Quiz ever before. It was more surprising because I could never expect such an ordinary and simple quiz to get so popular.

Almost 1 year ago Modern Day Countries of the Japanese Empire on a Map got featured thanks to all the Jetpunkers who nominated it.

That day was very special to me. Since I knew it will get featured, I was waiting since the previous day constantly checking my Jetpunk Page. I could not sleep the previous night with ease as I woke up early morning to check the page again. The Day passed and night arrived but it was still on the nominations board still getting more nomination.

After having my supper, I was going back and forth from the Nominations Board and my WhatsApp. Then all of a sudden I noticed, it is not there but instead found it on the Nominated Winners Page. Within seconds I got the special Email from Quizmaster informing me my Quiz just got featured. I fell down on my bed and started crying (Not a big deal for me considering how often I end up crying). I was so happy because it mattered to me. It was not just a featured Quiz for me but the beginning of a new journey as now I started having confidence about my competence.

A featured Quiz on a Website which I wish was popular where I reside probably should not mean a lot for me. For an average guy like me who could never meet anyone's expectations but never failed to make everyone expect a lot either, I could never reach my true potential since I have always thought it was limit. I never had the confidence to do something new or big and occasionally disappointed my guardians and teachers among others. But this feature was my first step towards feeling confident as now I know what I am capable of doing. Even if no one I know in my real life knows what is Jetpunk, it still holds a lot of value for letting me reach the milestone I failed in my real life and feel satisfied and so accomplished by just doing anything.

I am extremely grateful for what I have achieved on this platform certainly lacking enough words to explain what it truly means to me. Thank You so much Quizmaster for creating this Website and making my life so much more meaningful than ever before and of course for featuring my Quizzes. Thanks to all the Jetpunkers who nominated it and also those who tried it and rated it making it the 15 most Upvoted Quiz of 2020.

But apart from all these, thanks to the Jetpunk Discord Server without which it would have been impossible and where it all began.

The most helpful person I have met would certainly be Stewart. I can probably never repay him back for how much he has done for me. He taught me how to create Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) and introduced me to Inkscape. He has always assisted me whenever I needed at times not even related to Jetpunk at all. Previously I could not believe there are people like him as I am used to being told that people help others expecting some favour from them in return but I guess selfless people do really exists.

Around April 2020, I was in a Modern-Day Countries of the XYZ Empire on a Map Quiz making spree (along with others) as, if users have noticed I made the Mughal Empire and Mauryan Empire on a Map quiz just before going International. Especially thanks to UG332 for motivating me to contribute to the Empire series otherwise I would have probably never bothered about it.

Around the same time, Nilles was making similar Empire Quizzes as well and somehow coincidentally we ended up in Imperial Japan at the same. I am super grateful to him for allowing me to make the Quiz which he planned to make as well.

But not just them, a lot of Jetpunkers in the Discord server helped me in different ways indirectly related to the Quiz and getting it featured. The Jetpunk Discord Server has had a great impact on my life and I learnt a lot from them but all that for another day as well.
