4:15:30 PM Tom Sullivan: how much does your team hate carleton now
4:15:45 PM Bernadette Spencer: Pretty much, man.
4:16:36 PM Tom Sullivan: aint no thang
4:16:54 PM Bernadette Spencer: you should have just not come. nobody would have cared
4:18:01 PM Tom Sullivan: we were expecting a well run tourney that was undergrad friendly and didnt take till after midnight
4:18:46 PM Bernadette Spencer: It was advertised at its correct difficulty. Maybe if you played real questions you would understand that. And, also, the main tournament was advertised as running until 9 or so, which it did.
4:20:23 PM Tom Sullivan: dont take it out on me, i still do it for fun and when it run by a bunch of overly ambitious people it gets ugly
4:20:58 PM Bernadette Spencer: Overly ambitious?
4:21:31 PM Tom Sullivan: to expect people to enjoy a twelve plus hour tourney is a little much
4:22:25 PM Bernadette Spencer: To go to a tournament when you know that you're not going to enjoy it and force the editors to scrap together a packet so that the tournament is possible is really fucking inconsiderate, especially when everything was as advertised.
4:23:25 PM Tom Sullivan: i really dont feel too bad when the people who are in charge are arrogant
4:23:55 PM Bernadette Spencer: 4:23:25 PM Tom Sullivan: i really dont feel too bad when the people who are in charge are arrogant
4:24:11 PM Bernadette Spencer: Reread that, man.
4:24:26 PM Tom Sullivan: yeah
4:24:57 PM Tom Sullivan: i dont get where andrew and the rest get of goading some sort of entitlement over ever one else
4:25:28 PM Bernadette Spencer: Entitlement! If you don't like what quizbowl is, play NAQT, man, but don't come and fuck up our hard work because it was "too hard"
4:25:55 PM Tom Sullivan: too hard or poorly run
4:26:04 PM Bernadette Spencer: Poorly run?!
4:26:27 PM Tom Sullivan: ha
4:26:28 PM Bernadette Spencer: now, are we arrogant because we expect you not to rudely leave and fuck up our schedule, because we discarded the partial-birth abortion of a packet you submitted, or for some other nebulous reason that also translates to "relatively, I am not as good as I used to be at this and it is your fault"? [NOTE THIS QUOTE IS FROM ROB TOM SULLIVAN DID NOT KNOW THAT]
4:27:00 PM Tom Sullivan: that is just kind of petty
4:28:16 PM Bernadette Spencer: To be honest, it was a horrid packet, and we did have to write another one in order for the tournament to run, and the only thing that went wrong with the way the tournament was run was that you left randomly.
4:29:07 PM Bernadette Spencer: And, really, you knew the tournament was going to run late. You knew it wasn't going to be NAQT.
4:29:17 PM Bernadette Spencer: If that wasn't your cup of tea, then you shouldn't have attended at all.
4:32:04 PM Tom Sullivan: i do this to have fun, i dont do it because it is the best or the purest, and i learned from mistakes and probably will never attend another ACF tourney. Just remember that just because good people run it means it is the best or the only thing, there is a difference between striving to do better and killing yourself to be be better than other people
4:32:56 PM Bernadette Spencer: I don't understand your last sentiment
4:33:06 PM Bernadette Spencer: And it wasn't an ACF tournament, by the way.
4:33:37 PM Tom Sullivan: same stuff same people same posturing
4:33:53 PM Bernadette Spencer: Posturing?!
4:34:06 PM Bernadette Spencer: 4:32:56 PM Bernadette Spencer: I don't understand your last sentiment
4:33:06 PM Bernadette Spencer: And it wasn't an ACF tournament, by the way.
4:33:37 PM Tom Sullivan: same stuff same people same posturing
4:33:53 PM Bernadette Spencer: Posturing?!
4:36:47 PM Tom Sullivan: no hatred
