Turns out I am competing with a Type A today as well.
i am enjoying the GKBook Club stuff so far.

I am enjoying as well

You'd think an English degree would help in this ML but not really! Moby Dick aside, anyway.

After a total whiff on the first day of the MCU ML, I think I'm going to regret registering for that one.

Gave that one a wide berth, not in my wheelhouse.

How's everybody doing in the Book Club? I am in third, I think.

But I have a match coming up on Monday against jaymc's distant relative, so I am a little worried.

i was doing really well on the general knowledge book club (bouncing between 2nd and 1st place until i got my first loss on the last day and dropped into third) but i totally bombed the final. it didn't really seem to match up with the rest of the minileague since it was all book excerpts and no general knowledge.
also apparently i forgot to register for school of rock. ugh.
― na (NA), Friday, 24 July 2020 14:18 (four years ago) link
I didn't look at the final yet. I finished 4th or something, can't remember. And I am in School of Rock no further comment. Oh yeah, I am helping smith a music mini-league which is due in October. I think my name is on the page over there so jaymc could have figured it out anyway.

I finished 1st in my group for Book Club but also didn't do very well in the championship. In a few cases I recognized the author/book but couldn't get to what the question was actually asking. Like, I knew Chuck Barris but not Gong Show, Phyllis Wheatley but not YWCA, and Fun Home but not "Ring of Keys."

Is it '60s Music? It doesn't look like there's a dedicated page for that ML yet.

Yes, that’s it. If you click through to contributors I am there along with Tony Hightower and others. Do you know him?

extreme lol at the mountain goats controversy from school of rock day 1

HAHA meanwhile, John Darnielle has no idea about the unexpected fruit of his songwriting labor. Somewhere in a private corner of the internet, big fuckin nerds are arguing about a trivia question that *references* a song he wrote 25 years ago.

Oh, I see it now. Tony's flag looks familiar, so perhaps I've seen him on the LL message board, but I don't otherwise know him.

You know what that is called in LL jargon, don't you, siby?

he is now 0-for-18 and i'm wondering if it's some sort of art project
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 19:00 (four years ago) link
Hey forks/ulysses, have you ever smithed a 1DS? I have an idea for one if other potential collabs fall through, and we share a certain interest in a particular subject.
― Garry Shambling (Leee), Monday, 3 August 2020 21:17 (four years ago) link
i'd love to!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 3 August 2020 21:17 (four years ago) link
Sweet! I just saw that it's been done before, but I've PMed the smith for that to see if they're interested in a sequel.
― Garry Shambling (Leee), Monday, 3 August 2020 21:54 (four years ago) link
OK I just heard back from the OG smith who said that a sequel is fine, can I ilxmail you to work out the details?
― Garry Shambling (Leee), Monday, 3 August 2020 23:47 (four years ago) link
I've never smithed an official Learned League 1DS or ML, but I've posted a couple of quizzes on the Alpaca Farm.

I've played over 1,000 LL matches, including Mini Leagues, and I'm pretty sure that yesterday was the first time I've lost 0(0)-9(6). It was in the Spain ML, and my opponent not only has a .775 lifetime QPct, he also lives in Madrid.
