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.

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.

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.

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 11 July 2022 23:01 (three years ago)

Sent!

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 July 2022 00:13 (three years ago)

So for Indigenous America, I see jaymc, Greg, Leee, silby and myself. I am in the middle of the pack in my group but really enjoying this one so far.

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 July 2022 13:58 (three years ago)

Think I scared people away, but so be it.

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 July 2022 19:51 (three years ago)

One recap comin' up!

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 July 2022 14:31 (three years ago)

The loneliness of the long distance recap.

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 July 2022 21:00 (three years ago)

Smithing 1DS's is definitely a time consuming and pretty thankless process but it's one of my favorite things about LL. Not something I would do if I didn't find writing and tinkering with questions fun though.

Still ill true.

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 July 2022 19:50 (three years ago)

gen x culture is pretty fun but half the difficulty seems to be coming from the obtuse phrasing of the questions

na (NA), Monday, 18 July 2022 19:53 (three years ago)

I submitted my final questions for my 1DS -- it's this Friday!

Stone Cold Steve Ostinato (Leee), Monday, 18 July 2022 20:15 (three years ago)

Yay!

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 July 2022 20:43 (three years ago)

gen x culture is pretty fun but half the difficulty seems to be coming from the obtuse phrasing of the questions

it's honestly impressive

mookieproof, Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:02 (three years ago)

I submitted on Uruguay 5 minutes late and it didn’t count :(

doing the trip hop 1DS, thought to myself "i really like how these are written, who wrote this?" then i looked up and went "OHHHHHH!" in real life

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 22 July 2022 20:08 (three years ago)

Ha!

Meme for an Imaginary Western (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 22 July 2022 20:25 (three years ago)

Aw, thanks Will!

Stone Cold Steve Ostinato (Leee), Saturday, 23 July 2022 00:23 (three years ago)

Well, I submitted a MiniLeague proposal which is a decision that, if accepted, I'm sure I will come to regret. But it seems fun to try to work out the logistical challenges, at least once.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Saturday, 23 July 2022 13:14 (three years ago)

If you do get it and you need any help please let me know and then…oh wait.

Meme for an Imaginary Western (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 23 July 2022 14:23 (three years ago)

screwed myself out of a 4th place finish on trip hop because i was sure it was marina and not martina lol

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 25 July 2022 20:22 (three years ago)

Oh, sorry about that. I didn’t play but it was a nice 1DS and a really good writeup.

My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 16:16 (three years ago)

One thing I don’t get is when people don’t do a recap. I think I remember one guy saying he was on vacation in the mountains or something while it was happening but other than something like that, there are various motivating factors to do the recap as soon as possible if possible.

My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 16:18 (three years ago)

Reason Zero is that is seems kind of chintzy when there is no recap.

My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 23:47 (three years ago)

Reason One is that in some ways that is the most fun part of the contest to write.

My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 23:47 (three years ago)

...and 1DS submissions are open for 2023.

My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 4 August 2022 19:46 (three years ago)

three weeks pass...

…and I just submitted mine.

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 25 August 2022 22:54 (three years ago)

I skipped out on a 1DS proposal, I'm all in on my minileague proposal instead

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Friday, 26 August 2022 01:30 (three years ago)

!

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 26 August 2022 01:40 (three years ago)

As is my tradition, I dropped the first match of the season, although this time in breathtakingly dumb fashion (I completely whiffed on Q2).

we talkin bout praxis (Leee), Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:45 (three years ago)

Thank God for text notifications, because I completely forgot that yesterday was the start of the season until my phone buzzed at 10 pm. I'm going to blame the short submission window for the fact I missed the Nike question.

jaymc, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:48 (three years ago)

Hearing that.

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:53 (three years ago)

i like the way you work it

mookieproof, Friday, 2 September 2022 06:27 (three years ago)

From north to south
From east to west

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 2 September 2022 12:05 (three years ago)

And I just got my alert for today.

I’d Rather Gorblimey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 3 September 2022 02:02 (three years ago)

In 22nd after the first round of the LL Championship though I could have been top 5 if I'd have moneyed composite (not to mention answering Bletchley Hall instead of Bletchley Park)

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:08 (three years ago)

Cool!

Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:13 (three years ago)

So a little behind Joon.

Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:20 (three years ago)

Oops. Maybe that’s a bit of a violation.

Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:32 (three years ago)

I'm sure it will be downhill from here but the record will show that at one point I was in 3rd place in the LL championship.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 17:11 (three years ago)

i am only . . . several hundred places behind you

mookieproof, Wednesday, 7 September 2022 20:29 (three years ago)

Ha, I looked on the list for familiar names and never noticed/got to you.

Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 8 September 2022 10:30 (three years ago)

Still finished top 25! Really glad that some bad moneying and dumb misses (still mad at myself for not being able to pull Bocephus) didn't hurt too much.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 8 September 2022 18:47 (three years ago)

yeah 23rd is very impressive, congrats!

Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Thursday, 8 September 2022 20:54 (three years ago)

My hero!

Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 8 September 2022 22:10 (three years ago)

anatol_merklich, Thursday, 8 September 2022 22:26 (three years ago)

mookieproof, Friday, 9 September 2022 15:59 (three years ago)
