More seriously, I'm pretty sure NAQT's writer contracts give them exclusive rights to the questions. Granny Soberer wrote:if any1 haz ict packets pls send 2 NAQT can and should do something to rein in this kind of deranged behavior on the part of one of their employees/contract writers, and seriously consider the way that they relate to the community in the face of it.ĮDIT: In the light of Jeff's post, I have edited this post to reflect the fact that Ike is not an NAQT member. This sets a very dangerous precedent any NAQT participant in the future can be asked to similarly sign away their privacy under the threat of censure if this is allowed to happen. We also cannot and should not stand for being coerced into waiving privacy rights under threat of being barred from future tournaments, as Ike is attempting to do by demanding chat logs from anyone who talks to me. I will make this absolutely clear - the team Ike threatened did not send me a copy of 2017 ICT, and the fact that he was willing to level sanctions on them shows just how dangerous this kind of behavior is. We, as a community, cannot and should not stand for an employee of a high-profile quizbowl organization randomly threatening paying customers (a set which includes me and everyone else threatened by Ike) based on no evidence or incorrect evidence. It was also demanded that private chat logs be made available to Ike so that he could send them to NAQT. The team that Ike believed to have sent me the packets was threatened with similar censure. Sanctions for me personally at Chicago Open 2017 (which Ike is head editing, and has no relationship to NAQT) Sanctions for me and my team for future NAQT eventsĢ. I have also contacted NAQT with an order for the 2017 ICT, hoping for a copy as it is not available on their website (which I checked last week). Initially, Ike accused a particular team of scanning and sending me the packets. Today at 12:01PM EST, I was contacted by NAQT writer Ike Jose, who told me I need to "pay for ICT" because he believes I have a copy of the questions, and that I did not "appreciate" the work he had put into the set.
