Is disease detectives most likely going to remain general, without a focus on a specific topic next year?

Probably. I haven't heard that there have been problems with that this year, and honestly the rules look a lot better now in my opinion.

Also, will Sounds of Music be switching back to having to build a certain type of instrument? Just wondering because this year I made a flute but I really want to have a harp next year.

Does anyone have an idea of the Ornithology List for next year? Is it the same as the 2011 one?

Would Ornith be dropped in lieu of Parasitology though? I mean, it is being ran as a trial this year.

I would expect Ornithology to return. I think Parasitology stands a chance of replacing or delaying Forestry if it goes particularly well, but at that point there would probably be some apprehension about a 12-year cycle.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, but does anyone know if/how boomilever rules will change for next year?

Thanks!

I honestly wish this could happen. Then I could do 3 ID's at the same time and be able to do Ento at some point in my life. Doubt it would though. After 35 years idk if they would just add another event lol.
