I want to play this, and if it happens at VCU Open, yay... That is all.

I wish that tossup on the Vilna Gaon had been written, but I'd settle for the Bescht question that mentioned Frankists, who are really the most practically influential false Messianic movement in Jewish history. The only reason this tournament lacked a tossup on the Vilna Gaon was that there was a ...

Rothlover

Guerilla Trash, Film, then a tie between whichever lit writer writes more on "my" subjects and technology.

Rothlover

Tu Bishvat It sounds like this maybe used to be more popular among some groups of Jewish people in the middle ages. Oh, who cares, I bet Matt Jackson will get it, pull the trigger! I don't know, maybe I'm being too much my own stereotype, but I knew that holiday since eighth grade just from having ...

Rothlover

I think top 25 posting would be cool and I'd share mine along with my criteria/weighting if anyone makes a list.

Rothlover

As a logistical thing, if anyone needs lodging I should have a spare bed in my college park hotel. PM or e-mail me.

Rothlover

The team I'm on is looking for a 4th last I checked. main requirement is being a decent person/teammate. PM or e-mail me.

Rothlover

I may be able to go to this and the main event now, PM or e-mail me if you have a spot and or an interest in forming a team. I've been known to contribute to good trash teams or something.

Rothlover

Turing was an answer in two consecutive rounds (18 and 19, I think), once as a tossup and once as a bonus. I thought the questions were excellent, with just a few extraordinarily hard bonuses. There was one asking for the name of an Israeli songwriter that I can't imagine was converted successfully...

Rothlover

I should be able to make the last weekend in July for my 9th straight CO (If you count a Maryland mirror.) Has anyone heard rumblings/stepping up about a potential CO trash this year?

Rothlover

bbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssstttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooo! I mean SSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAATTSSSSSSSS????????? And, yes, Dave Eng was very nice and welcoming, and everything and more said thusfar about that moderator/interloper is true, and Ahmad should again be noted as the only reason ...

Rothlover

That's pretty terrible if that wasn't accepted. The guy's from Navarre and was known as Henry of Navarre before he became Henry IV. It was weird, but I was so flustered I didn't protest. It was only for 10 and none of our games were that close (and I can't even remember what round it was--besides C...

Rothlover

I literally just got back. These were indeed whimsical. 17 people played, which I quickly split into two rooms. One kept track of negs, one apparently did not. Rm 1 Matt W 32 tus Chris ray 16 tus Brick and Mehdi 3 tus Dominic and Logan 1 tu Sean: 0 tus Rm 2 David Seal 15/1 145 pts Evan A 15/11 95 pt...

Rothlover

Who should I forward the before and after packets to then?

Rothlover

Mike Cheyne has sent me before and after, and people/Mike are sending me the RPG packets, I haven't opened the e-mails therein. I'd very much like to play before and after on Sunday, especially since I was going to collect the 50 cents or a dollar a person mike wanted. Mike says it should take an ho...

Rothlover

Hey, if anyone needs space Fri night or Sun night, I have a couple double bed rooms. Shoot me a PM.

Rothlover

I can read for this at the Maryland mirror if there are other people reading the other sides to make them happen. (I may also need a ride back to hyattsville, or the number of a good cab company.)

Rothlover

Mike wants either 50 cents or a dollar a head from the Maryland site. I take it people are willing to pay me to pay him, or pay him directly? Is someone/ones down to read? I am happy to read one of the side events like RPG

Rothlover

Hey, I'd like to play this in some form at the MD mirror. You know I will give you many quarters, Mike.

Rothlover

Chris, or whoever, did anyone tell you Columbia is sending one or two teams, as I don't see them listed. Thanks.

Rothlover

Man, through 5, Eric's team showing that the best way to put up Baselius numbers is not to cheat, but rather to "know things."

Rothlover

Anyone need a 4th either day or want to team up? I'm going to try and get down here.

Rothlover

Hey, if people might need room or some crash space, let me know. I won a room at the regency o'hare from Thurs-Mon. Some of the nights might be spoken for, but hit me up.

Rothlover

As I understand it, Chris Romero, Henry Gorman, Ted Stratton and I are a team.

Rothlover

I'm guessing we are still in to fill out the field? I want to contribute to your rent fund.

Rothlover

So, yeah, I just won my flight, so I'm in. I got the go-ahead to see if I can put together a 15th team. So contact me if you want to play but don't have a team. I've heard from a few people Joe Hansen is one such person?

EDIT: 15th team apparently full with me, Hansen, Jacob Durst and Kirun Sankaran

Rothlover

Anyone have one or two spots? Please e-mail or PM me. know baseball, tv, film, pre 2002 music and just general stuff. Ted Stratton is also in, ideally as a package. He just knows a bit of everything too. Count our ringz (and by that I mean 2nd-4th place finishes)... I guarantee a delightful time.

Rothlover

Hey, I can come to this now. If anyone has an opening PLEASE let me know, ASAP. I am good for my Freeburnian 5 ppg.

Rothlover

Sigh, steroids is the most annoyingly worthless thing in baseball to argue about. Even a debate about the effect of treated baseballs in Coors Field is more fruitful. DH is good. Pitchers are no longer meant to be athletes in the complete sense and requiring the highest quality squad to be fielded o...

Rothlover

If possible I'd like to play this set remotely if possible. This set embodies the ideal of "studying for trash."

Rothlover

I'd note that I have 2 buzzer systems personally (and a third partially functioning one.) If my 2nd summer program pans out I won't be back until Aug 26th, I don't know how that jibes with the current summer schedule. It has been hard to get to admin people here because summer gets lazy there until ...

Rothlover

If my 2nd foreign study goes through I wouldn't be present to get rooms. I could still ask officials if they'll be here over the summer and could get rooms.

Rothlover

I'm currently in Israel, I'll be back the night of the 17th, I want in on all these polls just have no net access.

Rothlover

Yes (though would've helped if you'd done an interview :P ). That is 1.4 gigs, includes both matches and the awards. It also needs a sound boost. If someone is up for it, I can get it out there.

Rothlover

I gave the uploaded final match (I also got plenty of surrounding material) to Mike Bentley. It was shot from the 4th row while seated so as not to be intrusive, thus it was hard to get shots of the team (though there is plenty of good Zeke/Sorice footage). I know someone was supposed to take the fi...

Rothlover

My summer program ends Jul 15th. Depending on how much money I have left for travel, I could be back right after that, or later. Regardless, SnF seems well enough in the future that I'd likely be back for that. I know a bunch of JTS admins, I can at least ask around and see what summer room res is l...

Rothlover

This was the most genial, fun bunch of qb matches I've ever attended, and just want to thank everyone who put in time on it.

Rothlover

What about a good pre-guerilla place to eat? I am nostalgic for portillo's, dunno how many people have cars.

Rothlover

Hey, basically anyone with a CC can purchase the tickets. I can give the link or code, pulled an all-nighter last night. I believe interested parties were the VCC and Chipola crew, VCU, bmoke and company. If someone can get an exact count of types of ticket, I can charge it I guess if you all are go...

Rothlover

To test, I entered a quantity of 30 student tickets and it seemed to let me do so, coming to $227 after a $2 order charge. They have Will Call or something called TicketFast. Of interested parties thusfar, do you have access to cars? Don't know what the parking situation is. I know some people expre...

Rothlover

Hey, I can get tickets to the Art Ins for $7.50 for students or $10.50 for "normals," which is a nice discount. Wondering if anyone has interest in going Friday. PM e-mail IM me, whatever. Just thought it might be a nice pre-ICT activity for some.

Played at the main site, requested access. Fun time.

Rothlover

I'm in the same boat as Jerry for this. Last year I did pretty solidly at this, am out for a good time, and, thanks to Andrew Hart, know "not to buzz on f-ing science!"

Rothlover

I'd like to play for a team looking to get the earliest packet discount and also looking to enjoy itself a shit-ton regardless of record. Hopefully should have decent lit, american history Eastern History Religion VIsual art and Trash if there is any (and maybe some more if I tug as hard as I'm hopi...

Rothlover

I'll be playing, as usual aiming for a respectable finish, steady 30 ppg regardless of my teammates when I don't have mike cheyne bogarting my areas by being all better than me and such. Points will come from anywhere, except recent music, comics, recent non-baseball sports. May also have Ted Stratt...

Rothlover

and the worst thing that my team saw all day was an obnoxious team of trash people who tried to argue their way into points, rather than anything in the packets themselves. If this is directed towards my teammate and the Jay Z/Blueprint 3 question, I apologize if you found it obnoxious. That was on...

Is the Cal-Irvine B thing a typo/error on the above page? I only saw them with one bid.

= The Hideki Matsui tu was unpowerable. The first useful clue, about consecutive games, was after power, and isn't IMPORTANT.Though I had a stupid neg on Carlos Quentin, the HBP clue is more of a "lateral bone" sort of clue, because there are plenty of high HBP prospects in the minors, so...

That was an issue with Nomo too, and Ichiro (though he of course won) and with the guy Tampa Bay used in the late 90s and Kaz Sasaki, and I think at least two other Japanese players finished in the top 5 in Roy voting. Its been as much a staple of Japanese players making the jump as the articles abo...
