Do you know your issue titles?

Just for fun, I've created a Sporcle quiz. Given the issue number, release date, and major features, can you come up with the issue title? Give it a shot and see how well you can dig way back into the early days of City of Heroes.

Note: Some of the conversation below has spoiler answers, so for the full challenge, take the quiz first before reading the thread!

Think we could make a minor forum rules exception and call out the devs on this one? I'm curious how well the long-timers (Posi? War Witch? Castle?) who were instrumental in these updates being released can remember the banner under which they released them.

Quick hint: I've tried to list the major features that I think most reflects the title first.

P.S. Yes, I know, it's trivially easy (no pun intended) to cheat on this quiz. There's even a link to the Paragon Wiki page that lists all of the answers right there on the quiz page itself. Don't bother, though; as soon as the time expires, it will reveal all of the ones you missed. It's not a competition, folks, it's just for fun.

P.P.S. List of published quizzes:

• Abbreviations: Know thy Origin! (2010-11-13)
• Alphabetical Archetypes (2010-11-12)
• Name the Issues (2010-11-12)

I remembered 8 of them, oh well.

I remembered three. I am teh lam0rrz.

But thanks for the fun quiz, Tony.

I remembered 6

one of which was Issue 1

I remembered thirteen. I would have gotten more if I had remembered to spell Colosseum and Responsibility right.

I got 11: Through the Looking Glass, Colosseum (I joined the game in i4), Forest of Dread, Along Came a Spider, Breakthrough, Invasion, Midnight Hour, Power and Responsibility, Architect, Power Spectrum, Dark Mirror and Alpha Strike.

I missed Shadow of the Past, Council of War, Destiny Manifest, To Protect and Serve, a Stitch in Time, Anniversary and Shades of Grey.

I got all but Issues 12 and 16.

I could remember the primary word from the title of i12, but not the full phrase. I realized after I finished that everything I tried came from Samuraiko's i12 trailer.

For i16, amusingly, I could remember the non-English title, "Kaleidescope," but not the English title. This is odd, since I have nothing whatsoever to do with the French or German (or even UK, for that matter) servers.

The full issue list bears out my longterm, gut feeling that issue titles have generally been getting less evocative over time, though there have been a few standouts throughout the game's life.

I got eighteen, and I don't know whether I'm proud or ashamed.

I tried so hard, but I couldn't remember 'A Shadow of the Past' for the life of me.

That's still a better-than-great score. That one is the one that is missed most often.

I'm thinking of publishing one or two of these every week or so. This one was pretty hard, some will be a lot easier.

BOOYAH PERFECT SCORE! All 19 in exactly one minute, no cheating... I am SUCH a geek.

Though it helps I could see my videos in my head and was remembering each issue as I went along.

I got to 11, then stalled.

Several time, I could remember the general theme of the title, but not the exact name

I knew all but 4 of them.
I couldn't remember the titles for Issues 2,4,13, and 15.

I got 18 - and I spent the last 2 minutes of it trying to remember the name of the Croatoa Issue

Nailed it! And scored in the 99th percentile to boot!

I'm a huge fan of Sporcle. This is a great idea!

Now I can put my random CoH knowledge to use there. Instead of just putting my freakishly good geography knowledge to use. (Seriously, there's a quiz that asks you to list all the countries and their capitals in the world, with no map, and it lists the answers in random order. And I can get 100% just about every time on it. I'm a freak. )

I cant spell worth a damn.

Bah, forgot about Stalkers... I guess that's because I never play them :P
