Hey no talking about today's questions!

Do you guys feel like there have been a lot of MDs where all the questions are roughly equally hard? I may be just making excuses for my unusually bad DE but that's how it feels to me.

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.

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.

I *think* I managed to stay barely above relegation unless I actually forfeit on Monday.Good luck, forks!

could go either way for me

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!

It took me a second to think if that but it was kind of overdetermined that I would get it right

I answered "Beecher" but if you'd asked me for a first name, I would've said "Lyman" (Henry and Harriet's father).

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.

I missed that one as well, but managed to win.

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.

I knew beecher because he's buried in our nearby cemetery and I've visited his grave on a few occasions!

I had a similar reason.

I used to live across the street from a church with a statue of him out in front.

And then I also had a friend who was related: his mother’s maiden name was Harriet Beecher.

But I still had to think for a second.
Any word on 1DS yet?

i put my first solo one in and it feels strong enough that I've already written half the questions in anticipation

Looks like we made it, forks.

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...

I had something similar.

In my case it was the number 4 guy.

It's still a month away but there's a crossword 1DS that looks interesting.

Yes. I missed one and I am tied with you, in exactly the same place. Seems like there were maybe two dozen champions.
