Two summers ago, I wrote and released unto the world an absolute nightmare of a packet.
G2G FAST was a Sonic-themed packet that, ironically, was slow and boring at nearly every reading. Most tossups went dead; the tossups that did get converted were almost always last-lines. The last thing you should want from a packet dedicated to Sonic the Hedgehog is a difficult slog through 8-line-long tossups that end up going dead. A true Sonic packet should embrace the speed and the superficiality that defines the character.

- 5/0 games

- 5/0 miscellaneous official Sonic content (e.g. music)
- 5/0 fan-created content (e.g. memes)
