    I might be back to being active for a little while? no promises, since Quizbowl is keeping me up doing stuff like 23/6 out of 24/7, but it's back on my mind kind of right now

      The tossups tend to be drastically more difficult than the bonuses, their science questions are absurdly easy (even the tossups) especially compared to the literature or history stuff. 

      My main issue is moreso with the format... it just doesn't follow a logical structure like something compared to Reach for the Top (which isn't that great either but I digress)

      ok, yeah, all of that is fair. I don't really agree that science is easier (though that may vary by circuit, depending on what level you played at), but you made lots of valid points.
      I'm just glad somebody new what I was talking about

      I write competitive trivia packs and occasionally participate from time to time. Although my team doesn't do quizbowl competitions, we do other formats and sometimes read quizbowl questions for fun. 

      tbf the literature is really hard if you don't have prior experience

      I was very happy with myself for coming up with 3 after syl, but 2 of those weren't even on the list, so then I was very upset and had to go look up more

      It would've taken me a lot longer if I hadn't started guessing weird characters because it took you so long

      I spent 2 minutes trying to remember Notum's name, only to discover he wasn't an option

    Hey guys, I'm back (almost). Sorry I've been gone so long. Over Christmas break I:

    --Had the flu REEEEALLY bad

    --had a mental health crisis

    --had six day-long Quizbowl meets over the course of eleven days, each with a 2+ hour drive attached

    and had band practice every day of that.

    going forward i'm gonna be less active, only on like 2-3 times a day(this is meant to say WEEK), instead of multiple times a day.

    and holy crap that's so many notifications.
