Re: IRC Festivus 2016: Still Not Dead Yet
As promised, here is the preliminary Google doc. In light of the fact that we have roughly one billion packets, we will very much need to move smoothly and efficiently!

Oops, I have to go into lab today so I don't think I'll be able to read my dozens of awful questions. :(

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Re: IRC Festivus 2016: Still Not Dead Yet
Because I forgot to post this in the chat afterwards, the final score of my Broadway packet (including the tiebreaker) was as follows, using my ridiculously imperfect method of knowing some but not all peoples' names and occasionally trying to glean a first or full name out of handles:
John Lawrence: 105
Elysia: 15
Ada Marie Gutierrez: 15
Rebecca Rosenthal: 45
Kevin Marshall: 75
Sam Brochin: 15
Mike Cheyne (apologies to Mike Cheyne for not figuring that out earlier): 15
Oliver Clarke: 15
Rob Carson: 15
I forgot to record negs, so this score pretends nobody did. Also, every single question got powered, which means if I do another of these it I feel justified in writing harder things (or at least doing so throughout the packet). Yay.
Anyway, I hope people enjoyed it!

Re: IRC Festivus 2016: Still Not Dead Yet
The spectre of Festivus 2016 was successfully pinned when we ran out of questions at about 2:30 am Central time, marking the end of a delightful 14.5-hour marathon. I'd like to thank everyone who came and hung out, for part or all of the time, and I'd especially like to thank everyone who wrote a packet, from the most experienced people to the least. We had an impressively huge packet turnout this year, which is probably the major reason it took so long!
I really enjoy running this thing, and I hope it's meeting my personal goal of being a welcoming, inclusive event to the greatest extent possible for all of you as well.
Packets should be posted by the new year; if you haven't already sent me yours, please do ASAP (to the email address on my profile). Thanks again to everyone who made this possible!

Re: IRC Festivus 2016: Still Not Dead Yet
Thanks to Rob for running this! Even though it seemed even slower than last year, it was still a lot of fun. Scores for my packet were:
Alston 3/2/0=65
Will Nediger 0/3/0=30
Arun 1/1/0=25
Matt W 1/0/0=15
Oliver 1/0/0=15
Rein 1/0/0=15
Chris Stern 0/1/0=10
Greg 1/0/1=10
Mike Cheyne 0/1/0=10
Rob 0/1/0=10
Tejas 0/1/0=10
Lots of people 0/0/1=-5
I also have ~15 bonuses that I could read over IRC some other time, if enough people want to hear it (or if it's just a few people, maybe something like Hangouts would make more sense).

I too have around 20 bonuses, so I'd be willing to do so sometime together if that interests you.anderson wrote:
