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).
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 21:34 (three years ago) link
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?"

Are you guys all so good you won A rundles? Isn't that who's in this final?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 3 September 2020 01:03 (three years ago) link
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.

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

40th place, in honor of U2.

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

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

Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 19:23 (three years ago) link
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.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 21:21 (three years ago) link
Meanwhile, I got 0 points for the hardest league-wide question that I ever got right.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link
Thanks to my middling score, I knew that if *I* knew "earnest" everybody was gonna know.

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.

So even harder to be Queen Bee?
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 17:44 (three years ago) link
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
― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 September 2020 18:17 (three years ago) link
I’ve got 88 points today so far, guess Queen Bee is 108, but I’ve run dry.
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 19:08 (three years ago) link
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.
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Saturday, 5 September 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link
Yeah, that was a big issue.

Spelling Bee talk probably makes more sense in the xwords puzzle thread.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2020 23:27 (three years ago) link
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.

got credit for aphrodite yesterday, which was probably undeserved
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 18:59 (three years ago) link
Win streak at 4! Which is probably going to end today as I'm facing off against our rundle leader.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Thursday, 10 September 2020 18:31 (three years ago) link
Streak ended as expected, but I had TWO chances to win and blew them both miserably. So any right now.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 11 September 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link
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.

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.
― ABBA O RLY? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 11 September 2020 15:43 (three years ago) link
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!

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