BITCOIN: Call for writers and editors

Post by Ocean=Soup »

This is an announcement for "Big Important Three Categories Obviously Irrelevant Now" or BITCOIN an easy highschool/middle school packet (Keep in mind due to the lack of questions in certain topics at the middle school level there might be some more difficult questions). We do not have a date set currently but we will try to get the packet out for 2022-2023.

Set Logistics:

Our idea for this set was that it is hard to study for the non-big three subjects (History, Science, Literature) and it's hard to play the subjects because you get absolutely nothing. So this packet will not include any of the big three.

There will be 14 packets, 21 tossups each with no bonuses.

Distribution (Not Final):

4/4 Geography
2/2 Auditory Fine Arts
2/2 Visual Fine Arts
1.5/1.5 Philosophy
3/3 Religion
3/3 Myth
1.5/1.5 Social Science
2/2 Trash
2/2 Current Events

Sub-Distribution:

Geo

.75/.75 European Geo
1/1 US + Canadian Geo
.5/.5 African Geo
.5/.5 Other Americas Geo
.75/.75 Asian Geo
.25/.25 Other Geo

Auditory Fine Arts
.75/.75 Works
.5/.5 Composers
.5/.5 Commonlink
.25/.25 Instruments

Visual Fine Arts

.25/.25 Sculptures/Architects
.5/.5 USA Arts
.75/.75 Euro Art
.75/.75 Vfa Commonlink
.25/.25 World Art

Philosophy
.75/.75 Ancient Philo
.75/.75 Neo Philo

Religion

Social Science
.5/.5 Econ
.25/.25 Linguistics
.75/.75 Psych
.25/.25 SS Other

Trash

.5/.5 Entertainment
.5/.5 Sports
.5/.5 Trash Other

Current Events

Hi, first and foremost thank you to those of you who have signed up to write for BITCOIN. We are planning to advance work on this set and begin writing but we are still looking for some more writer/editors. If we do not have enough writers/editors we may have to reduce the amount of packets in this set. We hope to see more people sign up!

Hi, after much consideration we have decided to shift to a tossup only set due to the fact that it is just not possible to do with our current distro and amount of writers/editors. Sorry, but we think this will make the writing/editing/playing experience better overall. (The original post has been edited to reflect this)

The acronym for this set is officially changing, it will still be BITCOIN but from now one BITCOIN will stand for "Big Important Three Categories Obviously Irrelevant Now" (The original post will be edited to reflect this). I would also like it to be known that we are still looking for writers/editors primarily in the subjects Geo, Myth, Philo and SS but everyone is welcome.

BITCOIN officially began production 2 weeks ago and we have reached 40% completion already. I'd like to take this time to announce 2 things.

The first thing is that in a few weeks from now we will be releasing a "demo" packet (excluding the PSS) to let people get a gauge of the difficulty and quality of the set. The main reason for this is that BITCOIN is using an odd distribution as well as having quite a few new writers and editors.

The second thing is to announce our semi completed list of editors and writers, people are free to join but at the moment we feel as though this list is pretty finalized.

So big thanks to:
Steven Yuan
Adam Sun
Yash Mandavia
Max Neal
Munir Siddiqui
Fierro Grey
Sophia Guo
Graham Hallquist
Maya Pujara
Neev Sahgal
Mark Tawfik
Biyang Zhang
Aditya Sharma
Angela Li
Anika Bansal
Claire Chan
Owen Mimno
Jason Wang
Fahian Joy
Lukas Koutsoukos
Dan Ni
Aiden Dartley

And a special thanks to my co-creator Amal Balachundhar!

I hope you can join us in either writing or playing this set!
