Re: NAQT Security Discussion
Dude, cut the crap. Do you seriously expect us to change our opinion of Shantanu's cheating because of your little episode of Quentin Tarantino Does Northern Exposure? You seriously expect us to have sympathy for a known compulsive liar and cheat, because he punches someone else in the face over ec...

Re: NAQT Security Discussion
Auroni, My issue with this is that he actually was in India for a long time. For quite a while, there was no reliable internet connection. There was nothing deceitful about that. Marshall, I will admit that I do not know much of the particulars concerning this string of wrongdoings in the quizbowl c...

Re: NAQT security review: three more cases
While individuals such as Kyle whose integrity is well-known should not be impugned by the horrible actions of Watkins, I think it is legitimate to discuss whether the culture of Harvard as an institution, where recent news events suggest that cheating is considered par for the course, may have con...

Re: NAQT Security Discussion
R. was referring to this incident , not this incident . (The latter case had nothing to do with the security of NAQT's website; rather it involved an NAQT editor inappropriately revealing question content to players who were about to play the 2012 ICT.) Well, an "editor" who was not editi...

Re: IFT Mirror at Oxford, 24/11/12
Oh man, so much excitement. Here I was thinking I wouldn't be able to play much quizbowl in England.
Will questions be briticised in the same manner as past tournaments?

Re: ACF Fall UK at Warwick 03/11/2012
Hey guys. I wanted to ask about what exactly 'briticising' the set involves. Less US history, or are there other changes to the distribution..?

Re: 2012 NSC: June 9-10 at Washington University in St. Louis
So 2011 NSC actually had distinct difficulties between the two? Superplayoffs packets seemed considerably harder than the rest of the tournament, but it'd be good to have official word about this.Mike Bentley wrote:

Re: BHSAT Individual Question Requests and Discussion
As someone who listens to/writes classical music I was really amused by the note clues on that last Billy Joel tossup. I really loved the lit at this tournament as the questions I actually got had me wrack my brain a bit to remember important quotes/descriptions (the Tennessee Williams tossup, the M...

Re: Online Skype Practice League - Round 3
Uh, any chance the mata-utu game could be moved to 9:45? I won't be able to make 9:00 due to band practice.

Re: Online Skype Practice League - Round 2
Indeed.. I only got it because a month ago I was reading http://www.csc.kth.se/utbildning/kth/kurser/DD2431/mi07/07_lecture06_6.pdf and the phrase sounded familiar, so I wiki'd it and did some link hopping. That question was just bad. It is surprising that it doesn't come up in college tournaments t...

Re: Harvard Fall Tournament VI (11/12/11)
Whitman is interested in making the trip for this (i.e. pulling an 08 with an overnight train, maybe singing some Aerosmith on the way there). However, our ability to attend is contingent on HFT's starting time. The only train compatible with our schedules would arrive in Back Bay at 7:55 am, and al...

Re: Online Skype Practice League - Round 2
Man, I can't help feeling like I wouldn't be doing nearly as well if I were actually present at every game.
