Seriously, what would you have them do? . . . Expecting NAQT to go through some in-depth selection process so as to ensure the most competitive field possible is pretty silly. . . I was thinking of making the automatic qualification much more difficult and leaving the rest of spots to Wild Card qua...

For those of you who keep complaining about the Johnson/Danville match, remember that the only reason Johnson had a chance to win it is because they accepted the federalism inquiry. Dual federalism is not the only type of federalism so federalism should not be accepted for that. That would have mad...

Swiss pairing would work amazingly well. Firstly, there are exactly 32 teams...Swiss pairing works best with 2 to the N power; in this case n is 5. There would be five rounds for all teams, which is quite feasible. One team would come out on top at 5-0, five teams at 4-1, ten teams at 3-2, ten teams...

True, but when phrased "trickster god", it almost exclusively refers to Loki. If it simply says "trickster", it leaves the realm of possibly open to Anansi or the coyote and perhaps a few others.aestheteboy wrote:There are more than one trickster god that gets asked about.Youse Da Force wrote:Trickster god- Loki
