i finally got my first 9(6) of the season yesterday

na (NA), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link

Cool. Are you deliberately shying away from using llama lingo for that?

Soft Mutation Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:47 (three years ago) link

i don't remember the llama lingo tbh.

na (NA), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:53 (three years ago) link

Drinking the beer.

Soft Mutation Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link

hmm

na (NA), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 15:00 (three years ago) link

I have never heard of William Wegman and assigned 3 points, cost me the match.

Learned Leeegue (Leee), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 15:21 (three years ago) link

tbh you should feel a certain pride in that

mookieproof, Wednesday, 17 June 2020 15:22 (three years ago) link

never learn who anne geddes is either

That memory cell failed and so even though I could picture the dogs I second-guessed myself and changed my answer to Great Dane.

Soft Mutation Machine (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link

I figured the W was important and the only W-breed I could think of was "wiener dog", so I guess dachschund.

In response to the Valorant question, my ex texted me, "Glad I listened when you talked about video games"

Against all advice I googled. I should've listened to you.

Learned Leeegue (Leee), Thursday, 18 June 2020 00:42 (three years ago) link

I usually have a couple of 9(6) days per season, but I actually had a streak of five straight from MD11-MD15. Definitely got lucky on a few questions. It ended on Friday when I went 1(2). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jaymc, Thursday, 18 June 2020 01:15 (three years ago) link

big 6(3)-5(4) win yesterday

mookieproof, Friday, 19 June 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link

After having the highest CAA among the top 10, I'm facing only one opponent with a win % over 0.500 in this last week. Top 3 is out of the question (third place is 11 points ahead of me), but after being borderline C/D all season, my spot in the C Rundle for next season should be reasonably assured.

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 20:52 (three years ago) link

i'll be joining you in c shortly; i'd need to win out to get out of the basement in B and that ain't happening.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 20:53 (three years ago) link

three forfeits this season! where's my head at.

all cats are beautiful (silby), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 20:54 (three years ago) link

currently in fifth but i don't think i got it done today

friend who invited me is in first, but at least i beat him this season

mookieproof, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:08 (three years ago) link

One of us, one of us, we accept you, one of us.

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:26 (three years ago) link

Are you in Keystone?

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 22:13 (three years ago) link

Horizon

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 23:36 (three years ago) link

i have a question.

mookieproof, Thursday, 25 June 2020 04:00 (three years ago) link

Put it on the Comish's desk!

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 25 June 2020 12:01 (three years ago) link

i went for "bullish" instead of "sanguine" and feel like that's a fair estimate

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 25 June 2020 13:42 (three years ago) link

Actually I may vacate a spot for you in C as I may be demoted to D.

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 25 June 2020 14:01 (three years ago) link

i am unconvinced that the good, the bad and the ugly is a prequel

mookieproof, Thursday, 25 June 2020 16:26 (three years ago) link

i would agree with you!

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 25 June 2020 16:41 (three years ago) link

second "the good the bad and the ugly" question this season!

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 25 June 2020 17:20 (three years ago) link

Right, was wondering about that.

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 25 June 2020 17:23 (three years ago) link

*phew*

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 26 June 2020 11:57 (three years ago) link

I also guessed "bullish" and thought it was a decent guess, but Thorsten had other ideas.

A string of losses at the end dropped me into the E range for my rookie rundle. Despite hopes to maintain my position in the D range, I couldn't clinch it.

This was such a nice experience. Every morning, I looked forward to checking yesterday's match results, current standings, and puzzling over questions. Even felt a little disappointed when there weren't questions to answer on weekends. Really looking forward to next season.

unashamed and trash (Unctious), Friday, 26 June 2020 12:35 (three years ago) link

i had the feeling that i always end up right near the middle of the pack by the end of each season, so i checked and i have a .501 career winning percentage

na (NA), Friday, 26 June 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link

can't believe I'm crashing into C on account of my 3 forfeits this season, somewhat grumpy with myself

Samesies! Mine is .497.

jaymc, Friday, 26 June 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link

Based on my performance in the first two-thirds of the season, I thought I was going to have a career-high QPct this season, but I didn't do nearly as well in the final stretch. I gather from the message board that this was not an uncommon experience.

jaymc, Friday, 26 June 2020 15:18 (three years ago) link

I feel like I got more correct as the season went, terrible beginning better muddle/ending.

Getting promoted to C! One point away from first in my rundle.

TRANCED INTO RADIOACTIVE PUREE (Will M.), Friday, 26 June 2020 16:16 (three years ago) link

I'm really pleased with how I did (as I expected, I solidified my standing and will move to C), especially considering that I stumbled out of the gate. I had the hardest schedule among the top 10 for much of the season (except at the end, where the combined winning percentage of my opponents was under 0.400), though I still had a winning record against players above 0.500 (7-5-3).

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Friday, 26 June 2020 17:25 (three years ago) link

absolute belly flop, will pretend this season never happened.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 26 June 2020 17:28 (three years ago) link

beat the top two finishers, lost to the last-place person. so it goes

last four seasons i've finished 10th, 7th, 9th, 8th

mookieproof, Friday, 26 June 2020 18:31 (three years ago) link

I miss it :(

unashamed and trash (Unctious), Monday, 29 June 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link

Same! At least some new ODSes start this weekend.

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Monday, 29 June 2020 18:43 (three years ago) link

Anyway, I've submitted my member dues and eagerly await my flag becoming visible.

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Monday, 29 June 2020 19:14 (three years ago) link

MUAHAHAHA: https://learnedleague.com/profiles.php?41687

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link

So the 1DS (1DSes?) start up on the 4h?

Two Spocks Clash (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 1 July 2020 17:40 (three years ago) link

Yup. I'm looking forward to the General Knowledge Book Club ML, too. Seems like a neat premise.

jaymc, Wednesday, 1 July 2020 17:58 (three years ago) link

Not going to say anything more for a few hours, but there are still two hours left to do the 1DS Cryptic Clues 2.

Lipstick O.G. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 July 2020 14:03 (three years ago) link

Going up against A-rundlers is going to be a rude awakening!

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Thursday, 9 July 2020 21:40 (three years ago) link

Are you in A now?

Lipstick O.G. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 July 2020 21:41 (three years ago) link

Haha no way, but my opponent in the book club ML is. His lowest subject CA% is 72%.

AxoLOLtl (Leee), Thursday, 9 July 2020 21:51 (three years ago) link

I actually have come to find that situation somewhat relaxing, there’s nothing to lose.

Lipstick O.G. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 July 2020 23:29 (three years ago) link

Oh, no doubt. Why bother overthinking your defense when they're probably going to 9(6) the match?
