Instead of Fred Willard I put Bob Odenkirk.

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?
― Time Will Show Leo Weiser (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 24 July 2020 15:52 (four years ago) link
extreme lol at the mountain goats controversy from school of rock day 1

Is it in the Message Board over there? Looked for a second and didn't find.

Oh, wait, never mind.

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.

my school of rock opponent today went 0-for-6 on friday; now gearing up to be 96ed

i have an obvious comment about today's school of rock questions
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 28 July 2020 02:26 (four years ago) link
We will see you tomorrow about that

TFW you confidently submit your answers and then see that half of them are wrong.

You know what that is called in LL jargon, don't you, siby?
― Time Will Show Leo Weiser (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 29 July 2020 18:29 (four years ago) link
I've forgotten, all the jargon is too contrived :)

my school of rock opponent today went 0-for-6 on friday
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.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 4 August 2020 03:12 (four years ago) link
Leee, please do; want to hear what your topic is to see if i can contribute.if it's alt-comics or cemeteries, I'm good to go.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 4 August 2020 04:57 (four years ago) link
Leee, send me your email address so i can respond!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 4 August 2020 05:51 (four years ago) link

i've written a couple 1DSes ("pirates" and "vaporware" iirc), happy to help if you have any questions about the process

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.
― jaymc, Saturday, 8 August 2020 16:05 (four years ago) link
Forgot to sign up for that one but can imagine
― Time Will Show Leo Weiser (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 8 August 2020 16:36 (four years ago) link
lol that is brutal
led my school of rock minileague in TCA, allowed exactly one UfPA in 11 matches for a .962 DE . . . and finished third. it's all in the CAA
― mookieproof, Saturday, 8 August 2020 23:03 (four years ago) link
heh, i also got third. didn't play as good as you!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 8 August 2020 23:25 (four years ago) link
Did okay not super on PKD 1DS but Top Ten finish on Oulipo, woo-hoo!

Looks like Leee and n/a are in the same rundle for this upcoming season, along with another one of my referrals (my brother's friend SiegelbaumS).

Is there a branch named after you now, jaymc?
― Time Will Show Leo Weiser (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 August 2020 22:54 (four years ago) link
Oh no. still named after our friend.
― Time Will Show Leo Weiser (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 August 2020 22:57 (four years ago) link
No, those are my only three active referrals, and it doesn't look like they've referred anybody. So I have merely a twig.
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 August 2020 01:50 (four years ago) link
BUH, forgot to scrutinize all of my opponent's category %s today.
― Out, vile jelleee (Leee), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 21:07 (four years ago) link
Two match days, no unforced points given, hell yeah
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Friday, 21 August 2020 11:44 (four years ago) link
It's kind of a bitter taste when you get the exact same answers right as your opponent and still lose.
― Out, vile jelleee (Leee), Friday, 21 August 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
My first experience out of the rookie league has been pretty rude: 0-3, MPD of -3. Looking at the rest of my division, I see that other people who have the same TCA (or worse!) as me are above me in the standings, so I'm trying not to get too down on myself as far as the knowledge side of things go (I definitely could improve on my defense, though at 0.636, even THAT's not the worst). So, mostly bad luck to kick things off.
