I've been holding off from posting here for a while for a few reasons (not wanting to take up too much space, the fuzziness of my own gender identification, being ashamed), but here are some things I'd like to say. Things I've done that are NOT okay (to apologise, and to spur a conversation about ho...

As an aside, I'm a little, er, thrown off by the male pronouns used when referring to the moderator and scorekeeper in this document.

Nice, lemme go register real quick

To be clear, there's no sports?

This tournament is proving to be a LOT of fun, and I really like the async setup. Can't wait for the next one of these!

Are you saying a two-day event is less likely to be a slog? I'm sure this is a factor of lifestyle, but I definitely find 2-day events to be less of a slog, yeah. I was quite ready to stop playing WORKSHOP by the 8th round or so, but would have happily played another 8 the next day. The Terrapin op...

I very much like the idea of 2 days, TUs and bonuses, with bouncebacks.

That was far and away the best part of your post!

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

I'll add that describing a pack as "Things I like" or "Name-gories" isn't great, because many people don't know what you like.

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

This tournament was a complete - and to be perfectly honest, unexpected - triumph. I'm genuinely in awe of the organisation. Huge thanks!

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

This is already a ton of fun, thank you to everyone who organised, wrote, moderates, donates, etc!

Depending upon what readers are available, I would love to play another two-day tournament like TO online. Maybe something in mid- or late-May can be arranged?

Third.

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

I'd favour doing bonuses purely from a "more QB is more fun" perspective.

Very interesting in having an online mirror of this, especially since the questions are longer format and more suited to Discord play than older versions of CamO. Definitely want to play with my team though. Mid-April is pretty crowded, but perhaps we could try April 11 or April 25? April 11 is the...

Is the registration form intended as a formal commitment to play the selected packets (and you really should play unless something big comes up), or just a "gauging of interest", and it'd be cool to not play some of the selected packets if one gets tired or something. (affects how aggressi...

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer · Re: Terrapin Open at Toronto (3/29/2020) (DATE CHANGED) Great, thanks!

Great, thanks!

Is this tournament still happening?

This was a lot of fun! Will packets be shared with teams that played that want to provide feedback?

Rethink this.

Deception Point is Brown's greatest work.

I do feel as if the tenor of this post, mostly in the way that it addresses mental and physical health, could be a little more understanding. I don't necessarily disagree with this, and think we can always afford to "be a little more understanding". Having said that, I do want to state th...

Are there any specific literature bonuses you found too difficult, or was it an aggregate effect? Also, if other people found the literature bonuses too difficult, please let me know. I tried to make them reasonable, but I want to know if I overshot things. I found them to be eminently 10able, freq...

Hey, all, I'm sorry. I don't have much more to say, except that I'm sorry in particular to any teams that had their experience yesterday ruined by our playing. I did feel like I was saying "we've been doing this a long time" in an apologetic tone to the novice teams a lot. The only motivat...

Christine Irwin: She is the best movies and TV player in the country, across all times and genres, a brilliant music player at her categories, is enough of a chart-follower to be decent at music outside of her strengths, and keeps up with all pop culture and celebrity gossip.

Something that could definitely help address this is promoting more diverse writing staffs. I know that, as a woman, I naturally gravitate towards studying and engaging with woman-produced media. It's not surprising that writing staffs made up almost entirely of men, as is often the case in housewr...

Is there a discussion forum for this set?

This is going (further) off-topic, but I'll ditto that I think 1/1 is the right amount of AmHist. I don't think it needs more (but could see an argument), and definitely don't think it should fall to any less. I like the genre-based distributing of literature, but do think that the amount of America...

Joining the bandwagon! This tournament was a lot of fun to play, especially if you like "figure it out"-type questions. A great set :)

Two other stray thoughts: 1) I will say that I agree with the general message of this thread. However, the tone is horribly condescending and rather mean-spirited. The bizarre references to "gay neighbourhoods" infuriated me, and I'm not entirely sure why. And in general telling people how...

Deepika Goes From Ranbir To Ranveer

So I only skimmed this thread, but as far as I can tell, this is the only thing that needs a response. It's stuff like this that cheapens the entire message to the point of irrelevance. No one's consciousness is being raised and no one's mind is being changed by taking this kind of attitude, nor is ...

Wow, this entire thread is a BAD take. If you have a bowl cut and aren't a gay person living in Bushwick, get a haircut if you want to. Otherwise don't. If you haven't cut your hair in 3 months, get a haircut if you want to. Otherwise don't. If you are balding but you also want to have really long h...
