How sadistic do you think we are up at Ward Melville?

pretty sadistic for never letting other teams go to nats

Actually, that would be FM

i agree. they are pretty devilish, no offense to anyone here from fm. stop being such cocky butterflyers

Don't be mean- we want to go just as much as you. And you didn't get 3rd, if I correctly remember- so we didn't stop you.

I question your usage of "we", since you have yet to actually become a Ward Melville SciO participant, but the sentiment is more or less right.

[paleonaps]

Oh, come on. Tomorrow I will be in the school at 6-something, so I think you can let it slide.

Well yes, but I think the point is that you have yet to be involved in WM Scio

[paleonaps]

Yes, but is it possible that by "we" I meant our district?

[Phenylethylamine]

Yes, but is it possible that by "we" I meant our district?

Well, it's possible, but...

You were responding to a comment by someone in Div C, which was directed specifically at Ward Melville. Using "we" there would typically be interpreted to mean personal involvement with WM SciO at the time that the conversation was referring to.

Anyway, good luck on your first day at WM tomorrow!

[paleonaps]

Okay, okay, I lose.
And thanks.

[quizbowl]

good luck to all new yorkers starting school tomorrow.

question: people that were in C states last year, was ornithology and fossils the same time for your team?

They were at the same time for everybody. i'm not sure why, but the ID events are almost always scheduled at the same time as each other for States.

its because the events are usually scheduled by how easy theyre graded: the faster the grading for that event goes, the later timeslot it will be. thats y hard events to grade such as protein modeling and exp design are friday. however, ID events are multiple choice, so grading goes faster. this way, they can get the results out without making us wait that much
personally, i think taking 2 id events are crazy haha ;]

Go and tell Mr. Vorwald that Fossils is easy to grade - I dare you. But get somebody to videotape it first.

[paleonaps]

I'll tell him- and video tape it. Since I did fossils for him it may be easier. And don't worry- I'll video tape it. And I'll use my Steadicam so when I run away the film wont be jerky.
