Wow!

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 9 April 2022 20:54 (four years ago)

I always knew you could do it!

Mr. Uncut Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 9 April 2022 21:00 (four years ago)

I sure didn't think it'd ever happen!!! All that childhood tv watching in Canada paid off!!!

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 9 April 2022 21:03 (four years ago)

Very clear example of the Last Name Only rule in a recent 1DS.

Anita Quatloos (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 14 April 2022 00:35 (four years ago)

Just taking a look now at who is in the MLs.

Anita Quatloos (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 14 April 2022 23:03 (four years ago)

Bring on the Mini Leagues.

Anita Quatloos (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 14 April 2022 23:12 (four years ago)

Not as singular as winning a 1DS outright but I squeaked into the top 10 of (of all things) Ballroom and Latin Dancing!

Pomelo Anthony (Leee), Friday, 15 April 2022 21:20 (four years ago)

So you did!

Not as good as either of those but I made the top 5% on Tracks of an Old iPhone 3.

Ramones Leave the Capitol (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 April 2022 21:34 (four years ago)

It's official name was Tracks on an Old iPhone 3, but I feel like an opportunity was lost by using that preposition instead of the one I used.

Ramones Leave the Capitol (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 April 2022 21:36 (four years ago)

Regretting a bit not doing Advice ML. Also just peeked at the handful of testers signed up so far for my 1DS, very interesting so far.

Wile E. Kinbote (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 April 2022 18:47 (four years ago)

it was fun to have a Fugazi one-day. i think i did good, but not great (i missed a couple).

na (NA), Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:01 (four years ago)

I did a null submission or ghost submission for Fugazi. Can’t remember if we discussed here how to do that.

Wile E. Kinbote (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:03 (four years ago)

My 1DS is live today (Female Rappers)

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Saturday, 23 April 2022 09:49 (four years ago)

Cool! Cranking through some 1DS testing I signed up for last week right now.

H.R. MacGufnstuf (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 April 2022 12:08 (four years ago)

Sorry I flaked on you, Greg, but it seems like a couple of people here participated and did okay, and you had a reasonable turnout.

Recap looks great.

Curious if the DMB 1DS talks about why they are so bad and hated.

Human-shaped trash bag (Leee), Wednesday, 4 May 2022 21:47 (four years ago)

Kind of a trip playing English vocab and pop mythology at the same time. Former has generally been hard and hard to defend (DE around .500 and .600), but the latter has an average DE around .700 or .800.

Star Trek: Strange New Wordles (Leee), Saturday, 7 May 2022 17:58 (four years ago)

English vocab drama: I was in 3rd coming into MD11 and playing first place, so I didn't think I had much chance yesterday of making the final. But the person in second, who had been in first or second every match day, had a really bad day and lost, and I was able to catapult into second. I haven't opened up the championship yet but expect to do pretty poorly, as this is only the second time I made it to the round.

Star Trek: Strange New Wordles (Leee), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:17 (four years ago)

Aaaaand I got one question right in the Championship, so it's barely better than not playing in it at all!

Santa Barbarous (Leee), Thursday, 12 May 2022 17:30 (four years ago)

lol I qualified for the English Vocab championship but took a look at the questions last night and was like "nope." Not the first time I have skipped a ML championship, though I do feel bad for whoever I beat out to get there, who might have actually wanted to play it.

jaymc, Friday, 13 May 2022 03:56 (four years ago)

Two total TCA in two matches, off to a great start in B rundle.

objection: 'operation' is not a *board* game

mookieproof, Thursday, 19 May 2022 01:05 (four years ago)

Yesterday's trivia and today's news converge in a certain scene from GOODFELLAS.

I got this right and yet I have to agree

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 27 May 2022 02:32 (four years ago)

I coudn't think of it and meant to agree earlier.

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 27 May 2022 02:58 (four years ago)

couple days ago i got five right, my opponent got three right, and i lost : /

mookieproof, Friday, 27 May 2022 20:59 (four years ago)

Are others finding the questions harder so far? I'm on pace to post my worst ever TCA.

Averaged Sevenfold (Leee), Saturday, 28 May 2022 18:09 (four years ago)

Hard last few matches for sure, by my standards

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 28 May 2022 19:29 (four years ago)

Got my 7th 9(6) yesterday, which happens rarely enough that I actually do a completely unironic first pump when I get one.

Gianni Fursace (Leee), Saturday, 4 June 2022 17:55 (four years ago)

I know it is often considered impolite, but yesterday’s get rates on Q2 and Q3… and even Q4.

Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 08:26 (three years ago)

hot take: there are too many questions about cocktail names

na (NA), Tuesday, 14 June 2022 12:49 (three years ago)

Lol, indeed

Jimmy Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne Mary-Anne (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 June 2022 12:58 (three years ago)

Did everyone get BAYWATCH or did some get tripped up by the trap?

Jimmy Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne Mary-Anne (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 14 June 2022 14:21 (three years ago)

too many questions about video games imo

tbf i guess many more people play them than drink obscure cocktails

for the mobile games i invariably answer 'candy crush'; this panned out once

mookieproof, Wednesday, 15 June 2022 00:39 (three years ago)

Just submitted the draft questions for my second 1DS.

Ride into the Sunship (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 23 June 2022 22:56 (three years ago)

And got some feedback, enough to allow me to get very close to final form.

Counterpoint: Not enough

I know nothing about BB but see that you have a few testing slots left, would a complete novice be of any use as far as feedback goes?

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:16 (three years ago)

Sure, as long as you are nice about it!

Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:18 (three years ago)

Nice is a dealbreaker. (j/k, I'll sign up in a bit.)

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:27 (three years ago)

:)

Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:34 (three years ago)

Okay, I see you on the list, thanks.

Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:58 (three years ago)

Thanks! That was useful.

Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 30 June 2022 21:58 (three years ago)

I know there's at least one other Spelling Bee fan here, and the 1Ds on it is live.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Tuesday, 5 July 2022 20:56 (three years ago)

Thanks. Another friend reminded me as well.

Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 5 July 2022 22:13 (three years ago)

Got all 12, only ended up in 98th %ile ("only").

Lionel Chutzpah (Leee), Wednesday, 6 July 2022 20:14 (three years ago)

Have to send my Dear Commissioner letter with my final edits.
