Re: Where Are You Going Next Year? (Collegiate 2021)

I will be doing an MPhil in environmental policy at Clare College, Cambridge next year, as I erroneously claimed last spring I would be doing this year at Pembroke College. Just as I intended to "continue" playing back then, I intend to resume playing this fall.

Re: Which Online School are you Going to Next Year? (Collegiate 2020)

As indicated below (I'm still not sure how I want to format this new iteration of my signature) I will be doing a one-year masters at Cambridge before most likely returning to Toronto for law school, thereby getting a change of scenery that will not require me to stop saying "package". I p...

Re: MUSES Online 8/18

Not sure if a last-7-pack[age]s mirror for NYSO attendees happened today, but if not, it might be relevant that Toronto's mirror only got through 7 pack[age]s. Everything we heard was DELIGHTFUL (thank you so much to the writers!), so I suspect I'm not the only one from our site who would be interes...

Re: Canadian Player Poll 2018

Here's the second typing of my Fear Exhibition Ballot. It ranks players by the fear I would feel walking into a game room against them aggregated over all possible teammates and difficulties, but weighting each person's usual teammates and the difficulties I've played them on more heavily. A corolla...

Re: PACENSC 2018 - A Pokemon Set @HSNCT

Similarly, any chance for a mirror at ICT?

Edit: I'm dumb and did not realize ICT is more than a month before HSNCT - might this happen at CO/be available for mirroring during the summer open season?

Re: CMST: Errata

The question on Greece with modern poetry clues was a bit confusing - Cavafy spent all of his writing life in Alexandria, Egypt, and I only recognized the clues based on him when I buzzed, causing me to neg with "Egypt", so that might be a question you want to rephrase.

Re: SCP Foundation Tournament?

Ideal. I know I'll be very busy with school this semester, so what do people say to having pack s of 20 tossups done by mid-April, and then we can decide a mutually convenient time for playing them?

Thanks all!

SCP Foundation Tournament?

Conor Thompson recently proposed an all-SCP tournament, possibly in jest, and I wanted to gauge how much actual interest there might be. I imagine it would be a guerilla tournament where all those interested contribute all-tossup pack s or half-packs to be played over Discord/Skype, but I would be o...

Re: Specific Question Discussion

I found the bel canto bonus part rather confusing - I've mostly only seen it used in the context of the Italians of the "long 19th century" (Rossini, Mercadante, Bellini, Donizetti, etc.), whose works generally demanded a fairly wide range. I'm taking the liberty of linking here several pa...

Re: Use of the Term "Trivia"

At Toronto we're registered as the "Academic Trivia Club" and promote ourselves as such at the annual clubs fair, where last year we got around 100 signups, so it seems to be working for us. That said, a lot of our interest does come from people who played Reach for the Top, which is incon...

Hey I'm late to this discussion but this was the high point of my (admitted short) quizbowl career so far. Thank you SO MUCH to John and Max for writing this. For what it's worth, my family is Shanghainese and both of the first two dishes that came up in that tossup were things that I'd eaten at hom...

Re: VETO 2017 @ University Of Toronto (Aug. 12, 2017)

Thank you everyone who played opera! We had to end after 16 tossups, but Athena from Chicago won with 75. I hope everyone enjoyed finding out how the distribution worked! Also, I'll be mirroring this on Discord at some point, so please don't discuss the pack with others until it's posted.
