Lit Lukkha Weekend | 28th-29th September | Call for setters

[Sakshi Kanal]

Mes Chers Suspects,

With the gravest of concern, I, Hercule Poirot, find myself compelled to address you regarding a most unfortunate incident. A murder has disturbed the tranquil air of our small town of Literati. This morning, the lifeless body of a well-known figure was found adrift, silenced by a fate both sinister and untimely. The waters, my dear friends, do not lie.

Whispers of foul play have reached my ears, and though the town’s people may speak in hushed tones, I, Poirot, am not one to be easily misled. The trail, faint though it may be, leads directly to you—a gathering of individuals, each of whom has crossed paths with the deceased in one way or another. Suspicion, mes amis, rests upon all who shall receive this letter.

Thus, I invite—nay, summon—you to sharpen your wits in preparation for Lit Lukkha Weekend on the 28th and 29th of September, where we shall seek to untangle the web of deceit that has ensnared us. Bring forth your most engaging sets on word games and quizzes to showcase your innocence in the crime. Whether it be war crimes and chaos, sets on coffee or the colour red, all pleas will be heard and tried under a watchful eye.

Come prepared to defend your honour—or risk becoming the next to fall under Poirot’s unrelenting gaze. Poirot sees all, understands all. Should you fail to prove your innocence, well - the consequences will be most dire, n'est-ce pas?

After all, the murderer always returns to the scene of the crime.

Yours, with utmost suspicion,
Hercule Poirot

In preparation for Lit-Lukkha Weekend, we are sending out a Call to Setters. Those who want to make a word game set or quizzing set to showcase during this event can reply to this thread with your plans.

The topic of your set can be anything you so please - the wackier, the better;).

Feel free to make teams among yourselves to make the sets and reach out to seniors in the club for collaboration. Don’t worry if you are new to word games or quizzing; all are welcome to join in to make sets and have fun after an exhausting Midsem marathon. Those who don’t want to make sets are invited to participate and have fun, for eyewitnesses are the most valuable in an investigation, non?

With bated breaths,
Literati Council (+ Hercule Poirot)

[Aryaan Basu]

Greetings, fellow residents of the quaint, little town we call Literati. In view of the recent tragedy brought up by Monsieur Poirot that has shocked the core of this community, I'm afraid I bring further bad news. 

 

Bards Against Humanity is a secret society spanning generations and continents, consisting of Literary Figures who have sought to disturb the core of what makes us human. These erudite marksmen have made use of their boundless artistry to weave tapestries that spell division and distrust. They abuse their acclaim in literature for advancing such ideas that plenty find morally suspect. Do not let your guard down, dear friends, for this society has welcomed with open arms even those figures whose infamy in the fields of suffering surpasses their not insignificant literary contributions.  

 

However, fear not, as yours truly, Aryaan, and my beloved colleagues Ram and Preetham have gathered intel on this society's operations throughout history. Our efforts have sufficed in revealing some modern members, such as JK Rowling and JD Vance, but we require your assistance in solving the vast majority of cases over the last couple millennia. So join us on this rollercoaster ride through lows and even lower lows, as we present to you The Bards Against Humanity, a quiz set on controversial, problematic, morally dubious and only occasionally genocidal literary figures.

 

May our dedication towards solving pan-generational humanitarian crimes go some way to clearing our names of this one.

Dear lit (yes you, you're lit!),

I'll take the 'Biting Off More Than I Can Chew' for $1000.

Yup. You read that right. So bring your A-game, your B-game, or your C-game—just bring something—because it is about to get REAL. 

This. Is. Jeopardy!

Teams will be formed on the spot :)
See you guys there!

Best,

Kanishk

To prove my innocence in this gruesome murder, I present a set on a very endearing and redeemable quality I have. It's a very sad situation, and I can't help but feel the need to stress the fact that I-couldn't-have-done-it-guys-the-wound-is-on-his-neck-I-cant-reach-that-high
Obviously.
To continuously and thoughtfully remind you of this very important fact, I present a set on short and sweet things. Good things come in small packets, of course. And I will be brave enough to say I am a very good thing. So are the various subjects featured in my set.

Alexa, play Taste.

Please please please ignore the red stains on my gloves xo.

Shards, Spren, and other Invested Beings

Your favorite¹ worldhopper is back with a bag of breaths and a sack of spheres. Unfortunately, I misplaced my accomplice (ex-ex-ILAS, aka Aneesh) in some accursed land of lager and lederhosen. But fear not, for our ranks have been amply replenished by something the local Perpendicularity spat out recently.²

Faffling and formalities aside, let's get to the latest edition of High Fantasy Wor(l)dgames! Be wary of structurally unsound architecture³, for a resonance is imminent with the arrival of
The Listener's Guide to Rhythms and Riffs.⁴

We invite even those uninitiated in the ways of the Cosmere, this motley band of worldhoppers wouldn't mind some fresh blood.
Rhythms reveal the emotions that emanate, a guide for the unbeknownst would nary be amiss.

¹ I don't know about you but my favourite is Hoid. You're like the fourth favorite at best.
² I had a very dignified exit, no spluttering or stumbling was involved. I was like a swan.
³ More so because I'm an untrained civil engineer. And because I fear someone might try to unmake the building.
⁴ I don't see the need for a guide when we can just introduce them to George Michael but here we are.
