IRC Festivus 2016: Still Not Dead Yet

Post by Auks Ran Ova »

Hello friends,

With the advent of winter, it's once again time to start thinking about Festivus--specifically, the Third Annual All-Feats of Strength Quizbowl IRC Festivus Celebration. What this means is that if you have written, or want to write, any sort of novelty packet, I encourage you to write it by December 23, on which date you'll hopefully have a decent audience waiting in the #quizbowl IRC channel to read it to. Packets can be any length, at any difficulty, on any subject; the important thing is that they be fresh and entertaining.

As with last year, we'll probably start around noon central time on Friday, December 23, which provided a reasonable compromise between getting done by a reasonable time and not having to wake up too ungodly early. Please exhibit common sense when writing your packets; each packet should take somewhere between 30-45 minutes at most. There are many ways to do this--for example, if you want to write a larger number of questions, keep the individual question length down. Relatedly, don't write bonuses--if there's something hard or weird you want to ask about, just write a short tossup on it!

As we did the past two years, scheduling will be on a somewhat ad-hoc basis: we'll have a Google doc to maintain the list of packets to be read and the active queue, and I'll be there through the entire event as your presiding pope to manage things as necessary.

Please post in this thread if you're planning on writing/reading something, or if you have questions about the proceedings. I'll have more information on scheduling and the like as packet announcements come in and as we get closer to the date. Hope to see you there!

I hope to have the Pokémon packet done by then. It should be 20 tossups on mostly stuff from the video games.

No promises, but I might write a "fun" packet akin to 1997 ISSAC, but without the 1997 conceit, if people are interested.

I looked through what I already had written and the videogames portion of this is pretty much already done, so that will definitely be happening.

One of the reasons I joined the forums was to improve my writing (I hope to get a gig writing questions when I get out of high school) so I might practice by writing some questions for this. I've already made an answer list for the Tricon distribution, but finals are coming up so I will see if I get a chance to write it or not.
That being said, I will definitely try and join the party and play some packets.
:party: :party: :party:

EDIT #1: My Tricon set (entitled TRICON: The Realest In Cool Original Nonsense) is now 100% written with 35, 5-6 line tossups in TNR 10 (which from what I know is fairly par for the course) though I will give it one hard edit before Festivus.

EDIT #2: This is now in its final form and is ready for Friday. It has a couple of cameos from famous QBers which I hope they like.

I should be free that day, and I've been encouraged to read my 20 academic/trash mashup tossups, where the academics basically follow an ACF distribution, and the trash distribution is "some stuff I like, some deplorable TV trash."

Right, so my Broadway packet is now two questions from completion (one actual question and the tiebreaker), so it'll definitely be good to go for Festivus and will follow the following answerline distribution:

5 Musicals
5 Composers
4 Common Link
2 Songs
2 Characters
2 Other/Weird Things

There are two or three answer-lines that I would consider quite difficult, but they are on things where the questions are (I think) worth hearing on account of either the importance of the subject to the history of Broadway or the sheer wackiness of the question. I've also tried my best to vary the timeframes of the question, such that there is a reasonable amount of modern stuff that doesn't get asked a lot without sacrificing the classics.

I have 14 orgo tossups that I would like to read, but that number will probably go up, hopefully to 20. They're maybe nats minus level.

I'm going to write a sequel to a packet a wrote a few years ago for this thing called The Pain of Quizbowl Past. This year's iteration will be more of the same. Basically 20 or so questions playing around with incidents in my personal and quizbowl life that have caused me pain. I think the last iteration included questions on things like Zaxby's, robot competitions, and the death of Chewbacca the Wookie. It's funner than it sounds!

Nathan Weiser and I have written a packet of ~20 film tossups, the vast majority of which are ill-conceived common links. It's potentially a preview for a future tournament. I'm not 100% sure I'll be around but if I'm available, I'd be happy to read it.
