Mike Cheyne won my packet, 5 points ahead of Matt Lafer, Trevor Davis and Tommy Casalaspi, because Tommy negged the question mentioning him.

I am writing a packet of literary classics questions (Latin and Greek; some on things I have read and others on things I think are interesting) and will be finished at some point in the near future. I will probably post again when I am finished.

Difficulty is not easy. If you enjoy reading this sort of stuff or have any interest at all, come by and check it out.

I am writing a longish packet for CAHOOTS this weekend that will be on things I like. I will read it the night before for those not playing this tournament (which is pretty much everyone).

I have written an indie movie packet of 20 powermarked tossups that will be played at CAHOOTS and then probably read on the IRC at some point (perhaps tomorrow night post-CAHOOTS). My definition of "indie" is things I like. Almost entirely by happenstance rather than design, my packet has the following distribution:

4 films
4 directors
4 actors
8 things that aren't exactly any the above

I've watched everything included in the questions, so there will be spoilers because I'm not personally concerned about being spoiled.

I've also got 4 tossups that I wrote but decided not to include because. The distribution for those is 2 music (from when the packet was going to be less movie-centric) and 2 film. I'll probably read those at the same time I read the packet, unless I read them tonight.

Rob got 40, Joe got 30, Shannon got 10, Sam got 5, and Katie, Erik, and Mikey C. got -5 on my packet. They weren't bad enough dudes to score more. I'll read it on the IRC tonight sometime in the main room or a different room if people whine.

I'm writing a horror packet that will feature hard, unimaginatively written questions that will take great pains to spoil various films. I will read it on Friday in honor of Halloween.

I've written a vanity packet of about 30 or so tossups, which is a mix of rock from 1960 to now and rap. I'll read it at 10p EST on Sunday, or after the online mirror of CHB ends if it runs that late.

EDIT: Clarifying that the rap does not stretch back until the 1960's.

For the annual Maryland end-of-the-year packet, I've written a 20 tossup packet on various UMD players and events. I expect that most of the questions should be gettable at the end for people who know the Maryland program okay, though a few things will be impossible. Anyway, if you want to prove your Maryland knowledge superiority, I'll be reading it tonight around 8 or 9.

This happened. We were tied 45-45 between Matts Weiner and Bollinger at the end, so I read an unrelated tossup on Peter Gabriel Music Videos, which Matt W negged, so Matt B won. Evan Nagler also powered a question that mentioned something he did last week. The packet is attached if you want it, though only God knows why you would.

This happened. Rob and I apparently listen to the same Pandora stations:

Rob - 105
George - 45
Matt Lafer - 45
Brian M - 40
Matt Bollinger - 40
Auroni - 20
Carsten - 15
Jeffrey H - 10
Harry W - 5
Dan P - 5
Eric D - 0
Sarah - -5
Peter - -5

I will hopefully finish another one of these by the end of the summer. It will likely be even more albumier than before.

I have a packet of 40 mash up tossups of variable quality, length and difficulty written by me and another member of the Oxford club. I don't know what time would be best, but I don't really want to have to stay up much past, say, midnight to read these to people in the IRC. I could read them either today (i.e. within the next hour) or next week some time.

Due to late notice for this a lot of people only got to play half of this - sorry about that. Thanks for Auroni and Stephen for keeping score for me because I didn't know who everyone was.

Final scores:
Rob - 220
Ian (ilenhoff) - 65
Eric - 55
Dylan - 20
Auroni - 15
Carsten (octagonjoe) - 10
Richard (ryu) - 10
Mike - 10
Chris (ckm) - 5
Victor (wasabi) - -5

There was a 100 point question, so Rob only really got 130 points.

For those who will not be at HSNCT, I will read my extremely hard, super vanity packet tonight in the IRC (probably around 10 EST?) in #trash. Again, I hope to read this at Fred's thing so if you're playing it at HSNCT don't show up.

EDIT: 10:30-10:45 are more logical.

I've written a music packet, primarily pop of the last decade, but with a broad distribution of "things I know and/or like". My team gets first crack at it during one of our post-nationals screwing-around practices, so this will be read in IRC Thursday night, probably circa 9pm ET.

I would have thought that the intersection of {pop of the last decade} and {things I like} would be very close to the null set for anyone born before 1990 or so.
