Nora Barnacle Memorial Tournament (NBMT) Packet Reading - 2/9 and/or 2/10

[copied and partially modified from the Discord server message]

Hey everyone! There was a small packet sub literature tournament some of my friends and i ran together a few months ago and I'd like to read the packets in the main quizbowl Discord server if people are interested. I'm thinking this Friday (2/9) or Saturday (2/10) evening beginning at 8:30 PM eastern. If you'd be interested in hearing the packet please react with which day works better for you (F for Friday, S for Saturday) in the server - if there's a lot of votes for both days I can just read the packets on both days. There are 7 packets of 21 questions, so I'd like to get started promptly at 8:30 to make sure it'll be done at a reasonable time (I'm guessing it wont take more than 2 hours, max?)

The difficulty varies from like 2 dots to open depending on the packet (and the length varies mostly accordingly), and some of the packets have themes to them, but overall its mostly pretty accessible from quizbowl knowledge and I think the questions are pretty fun.

Hope to see you there!
