Akbar posted:I think it's natural to have a bit of variation year-to-year. I don't think it's realistic to expect us to increase our standing every year, especially when we're still pretty drat far away from the leaders. There's the top tier of Dad's and Festivus and then the next tier down has us, network, UUU, lactation, foole, etc. What I was asking is was there another newish team that is running up on us? It seems like the others in our tier have been there for a long time. And I'm not sure what black magic is needed to actually rival Dad's and Festivus. The gap closed significantly this year. 2015: 3,690 from 3rd to 2nd. 2016: 740 from 3rd to 2nd.

At the same time though, there were most points available this contest than last, which makes me think that the questions were on average easier. It also seems like there were definitely less 75-350 points questions, which seems to be the kind that we usually gain points on.

Commemorative logo, rebalanced: Deki posted:Is there a way to get the shirt without the "trivial fursuit" part? I love the logo but would like to be able to wear it to work. I'd love to do this, but the shirt shop I work through requires at least 12 shirts per order, and I'm not sure I'd get enough orders to fill this request! That said, there are PLENTY of online services around that'll do custom shirts, and there may even be a shop in your area that'll print one up for you. I am MORE than happy to share the logo file with anyone who'd like to print their own shirts. Would this work for you?  Highlights video KICKS rear end, wa27! Thank you thank you for putting that together!!

Turdsdown Tom posted:watching that highlight video, it blows my mind how absolutely loving horrible some of these on-air folks are at pronouncing things. the "cee why young" award???? how do these people run a trivia contest yet are not able to pronounce some of the most critical words in a question? They are students and learning. Also they are young so they have no idea what baseball is, or Abba

rawillkill posted:The gap closed significantly this year. and it was 2.4k in 2014, 1.9k in 2013, and just 350 points in 2012. Which is all to say that there is variance. I think all we can conclude from your figures is that 2015 was a particularly loose contest and 2016 was a pretty tight one. There's no indication of a trend either way over the past 5 years. And for those years, this is how behind the leader we ended: 2012: 3820 2013: 3195 2014: 5985 2015: 4625 2016: 2065 Now, I'm not actually sure how instructive raw points are in a trivia analysis given that the pool of total points changes year to year due to the scoring scheme (as Kloaked notes). There's probably some inferential value in the sense of how many big point questions we miss compared to the champs. This is how we've done in terms of a proportion: our points/points of top team. 2012: 64.3% 2013: 70.1 2014: 72.4 2015: 79.9 2016: 86.7 Here, it looks like we're clearly doing better year to year but our standing overall changes a bit from 14th to 8th to 7th to 4th to 6th based on factors beyond our control (how other teams do). There's still no evidence to me that we're losing ground to other teams beyond year-to-year variance. In terms of our progress goals for next year, it should be to continue that trend and maybe even get north of 90%. Akbar fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Apr 26, 2016 |

All scores prior to 2014 are irrelevant because that's when the new scoring system was introduced

Last day to order commemorative t-shirts! The print order will be submitted tomorrow morning, with t-shirts hopefully going out within the next couple of weeks. If anyone wants the logo without "Trivial Fursuit" so they can do their own printing, I'll be happy to share it with you, just let me know.

Invoices are out now! Things got processed faster than expected. Send me payments when you can! International shipping rates are now correctly calculated this time around, so I'm sorry to be charging some of you more than I did last time. My mistake was to your benefit in the last round of t-shirts.

I just realized that I hosed up a couple of the t-shirt invoices, so you might get an email asking for some additional dollars. Basically, if your ordered multiple shirts, I managed to only total your bill as if you purchased only one shirt. I am not always good at spreadsheets. Really sorry for that.  I would eat the expense if I could because it was my gently caress-up, but I'm moving next month, and don't really have the wiggle room right now. I appreciate your understanding.Shirts will still be shipped on time, though! Still waiting to hear back if they're done, but I bet tomorrow will be the day, meaning I can get the shirts shipped either over the weekend or early next week.

Shirts are finished and ready to be picked up from the printer's, but due to training I have going on this week, I'm not going to be able to pick them up today! So, they'll be picked up tomorrow. Expect stuff to be shipped by the end of the week!! If ANYONE knows how to reach Kilonum (outside emails and PMs), please send him my way. He ordered a commemorative shirt, but I've not heard from him since, and I want to make sure he still wants what he ordered! If he doesn't, I might have an extra! :P

Completely different sort of trivia than what 90FM does, but the World Quizzing Championships is happening this Saturday. There are locations all over the world, so if you're not doing anything then check it out.

Hop over to #tp at irc.synirc.net for further details. Here's info on how to join our channel if you've used IRC before.

Shortly after the end of this year's contest there was a Google spreadsheet for people to volunteer to take notes on shoes for the upcoming TV season. Does anyone have a link to that? I signed up for a few, but I forget which.

We got 4th. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gm5k5bSoHrrjw6JJr0Un5bNMOsqQ61voHkaULT5Gnfs/pubhtml?gid=1350135945&single=true&range=A1%3AC13 There weren't many goons playing. Those that were had to carry way too much weight and were pretty exhausted. We probably need a trivia mailing list or something. This thread doesn't get enough posts to stay on top for the smaller contests. Also some of the tools that goons have built weren't working which added to the stress. Hopefully they get fixed for next time.
