I know, I just feel like you never know what shakes something loose in someone's mind

The thing is though that knowing what the subject is ahead of time can lead to questionable behavior -- like if I were sufficiently unscrupulous, I might read up on the subject before I look at the questions and not consider that cheating.

ML acceptances are out, I hear.

Lucky season for me: In my 28-person rundle, I'm in 6th place despite ranking 24th in Total Match Points, because I also have the fewest Correct Answers Allowed.

my first 9(6) yesterday for the season but continuing to teeter totter on relegation to D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT1DdO3SISg

Yeah and me both, bro, although I see that you are still slightly above the purple line.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 September 2021 12:29 (four years ago)
I *think* I managed to stay barely above relegation unless I actually forfeit on Monday.Good luck, forks!
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 September 2021 11:59 (four years ago)
could go either way for me
― think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 11 September 2021 12:23 (four years ago)
Yeah, I saw but didn’t want to say.

I knew who it was but put "Henry Beecher Stowe." Then, later in the day, but before I submitted, I was reading a book that mentioned Henry Ward Beecher. I stuck to my morals and submitted the wrong answer. Then won anyway because my opponent defended catastrophically badly. Karma!
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 11 September 2021 13:55 (four years ago)
It took me a second to think if that but it was kind of overdetermined that I would get it right
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 September 2021 14:10 (four years ago)
I answered "Beecher" but if you'd asked me for a first name, I would've said "Lyman" (Henry and Harriet's father).
― jaymc, Saturday, 11 September 2021 14:49 (four years ago)
Yesterday I was in 3rd place and thought for a moment I might get to participate in the LL championship?? But then I lost 6(5)-9(6), and now I'm in 5th. Theoretically, I could still make it, but it seems unlikely.
― jaymc, Saturday, 11 September 2021 14:52 (four years ago)
Pushed down the rundle by the katabatic winds.
― jaymc, Saturday, 11 September 2021 14:54 (four years ago)
Good one.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 September 2021 14:59 (four years ago)
I missed that one as well, but managed to win.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 September 2021 15:07 (four years ago)
I've guaranteed a winning record while also having a shot at ending in the top 10, although my next opponent has very intimidating numbers.
― Carte Blanchett (Leee), Saturday, 11 September 2021 18:26 (four years ago)
I knew beecher because he's buried in our nearby cemetery and I've visited his grave on a few occasions!
― think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 12 September 2021 04:12 (four years ago)
I had a similar reason.

I used to live across the street from a church with a statue of him out in front.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 12 September 2021 11:52 (four years ago)
And then I also had a friend who was related: his mother’s maiden name was Harriet Beecher.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 12 September 2021 11:53 (four years ago)
But I still had to think for a second.
Any word on 1DS yet?

Not until after Halloween I think, or try not think until then.

i put my first solo one in and it feels strong enough that I've already written half the questions in anticipation
― think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 12 September 2021 18:42 (four years ago)
Looks like we made it, forks.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 13:15 (four years ago)
I mean we didnt' get relegated, no idea about the 1DS.
yeah, whew. as bad as i could play and not get knocked out! That said, the #3 guy in my rundle had fewer TCA, so...
― think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 13:30 (four years ago)
I had something similar.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 14:44 (four years ago)
In my case it was the number 4 guy.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 15:02 (four years ago)
Although, I may have been the same guy.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 15:03 (four years ago)
Had a good season, but man, my opponents really rose to the occasion against me this time
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 15:25 (four years ago)
Just voted in the Very Best Wrong Answer poll, but my heart wasn't in it.
― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 17:27 (four years ago)
I posted my worst TCA ever, though we're talking about 81 vs. 82, huzzah!
― Carte Blanchett (Leee), Wednesday, 15 September 2021 00:58 (four years ago)
It's still a month away but there's a crossword 1DS that looks interesting.
― Leee Tigre (Leee), Saturday, 25 September 2021 18:47 (four years ago)
Some good ones coming this week if I am not mistaken.
― I, the Jukebox Jury (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 25 September 2021 19:42 (four years ago)
Maybe not. So about that Clash 1DS…
― He POLLS So Much About These Zings (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 10:47 (four years ago)
i wonder why there's a 3-day break in the Adaptations ML

Only a few of us did Self Referential Songs
― Spiral Scratchiti (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 October 2021 20:12 (four years ago)
lol i got every question right and am still in 237th place
― na (NA), Friday, 15 October 2021 20:24 (four years ago)
Yes. I missed one and I am tied with you, in exactly the same place. Seems like there were maybe two dozen champions.
― Spiral Scratchiti (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 October 2021 21:23 (four years ago)
The little thingie tells me that with better moneying I would have been in 82nd place!
― Spiral Scratchiti (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 October 2021 21:24 (four years ago)
2022 MLs are out, about two weeks for the 1DS. Starting to get that feeling.
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 October 2021 22:52 (four years ago)
I'm annoyed at myself for not doing better in the Po-mo 1DS, especially for just slightly getting the title of the Eco novel wrong.
― Leee Tigre (Leee), Friday, 15 October 2021 23:22 (four years ago)
Actually he said in the announcement that the 1ds schedule will be out next week.
