Would've been 50/50 for me on the strips question because I can never remember if it's For Better Or Worse or For Better Or For Worse (I think it's the former).

It's "For Better of For Worse", and "For Better or Worse" wasn't accepted which probably accounts for a lot of the low get rate.

Have you heard this one before? A LLama walks into a bar, the bartender says "Why the low get rate?"

made the cut!

So you made it past "I Can't Drive 255"? Congrats!

Are you guys all so good you won A rundles? Isn't that who's in this final?

You only have to make top 3, which is good because I only barely snuck in at 3rd place in 1 of the 4 seasons.

ahhh i get the rock star ref now. v cool

had william tell written in all morning, second guessed myself right before I clicked submit and changed my answer and lost the match because of it lmao

B-b-but did you make the cut?

40th place, in honor of U2.

Uno(s), dos, tres, cuarenta!

82nd overall - not moneying Candace Cameron and incorrectly moneying TWICE in round 3 killed me, as did round 3 in general. Nice work, Greg!

Nice work, fellas! B-b-but what about the third man, Harry LLima, how did he do?

Not really a question specific to this thread, but has anyone been doing the Spelling Bee?

Not the one in the NYT?

if it is, i have

Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.

Squeaked out a win yesterday thanks to my middling theater score, which I think may have prompted my opponent to assign 3 for the very earnest question.

Meanwhile, I got 0 points for the hardest league-wide question that I ever got right.

Thanks to my middling score, I knew that if *I* knew "earnest" everybody was gonna know.

Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.

It used to limit itself to two vowels (not counting y), now it has up to 3.
It used to never have ED or ING among its letters.

Oh so many more words possible now?

So even harder to be Queen Bee?

Yes and probably yes (I only ever Queen when the genius level point total is < 100 points).

I haven't seen or reached 300 points yet, but 200 is much more common.

won 8(4) - 4(4) yesterday #defense

I’ve got 88 points today so far, guess Queen Bee is 108, but I’ve run dry.

spelling bee yesterday wouldn't accept "cope" as an answer, despite using the middle letter.

I am getting absolutely crushed this LL season, and I miss my rookie rundle.

Yeah, that was a big issue.

Spelling Bee talk probably makes more sense in the xwords puzzle thread.

I'm on a 3-match winning streak and am crawling away from the relegation zone! I thought the last match that I might've defended extremely poorly and although I narrowly eked out a win, thanks to being gifted 3 points for Venus.

gonna be lucky if i can hold on in c tbh

got credit for aphrodite yesterday, which was probably undeserved

Win streak at 4! Which is probably going to end today as I'm facing off against our rundle leader.

Streak ended as expected, but I had TWO chances to win and blew them both miserably. So any right now.

a player in my rundle has allowed just 3 UfPA in 16 matches

wtf

Some people take a lot of time on defense?

Sometimes my defense gets on a hot streak but I really don't like to spend a lot of effort on it at this pont.

My first 9/5 yesterday

Cool! I believe in LL lingo - LLingo! - that is called a Dolly Parton.

j/k

Someone else had your name and initial when you joined? Also, a little extra-impressive since you missed the easiest question of the season thus far.

I'm on track to have my 2nd-highest TCA this season, but I'm languishing in the relegation zone with a record of 3-9-4.

I did just notice that I have my own branch now, even though there are only 4 people in it!

Wondering if it is because our friend who recruited you is inactive.

Actually some people HAVE called that a Dolly Parton, but not sure if that is Commissioner-approved.

I see people on the same Branch are also all in the same Rundle.

Same league (Keystone, in my case), if not same rundle.

Oh right, that's what I was trying to say.
