I'm a respectable 7-8-2 now, so my upcoming match vs NA might actually be interesting.Are you on the jaymc branch?
Are you on the jaymc branch?

leeee was that you that destroyed me a couple of days ago?
for those of you concerned about my unusually hot start to the season, be reassured that i'm sliding back down into my typical exact middle of the group rank
― na (NA), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link
Yeah, but if it's any consolation, I've been on an inexplicable hot streak for the last couple weeks by getting 4 or 5 right answers nearly every match (of course I'm probably jinxing myself now).
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 15:24 (three years ago) link
I've stumbled again recently (1-3-0), but getting lucky on Estonia + my opponent giving 2 points for it got me the win and guarantees that I will avoid relegation (my one goal for this season).

i am squarely in the middle of my C rundle and i think that may be where i'm staying: average amongst the intelligentsia but not much more

No comment. Thinking of signing up for Stuff... or ELSE! ML, looks like fun. Did not do the precursor, Bird Nerds... or ELSE!

Finished 10th and right at 0.500 thanks to a gift of a 5(2)-4(3) win! Pleased as hell that I'm right in the middle after a horrific start and that I ended with a non-losing record.
― Pleeenk Floyd (Leee), Thursday, 24 September 2020 18:49 (three years ago) link
I finished just below the promotion zone in my C rundle after hovering above that line for a little while. But the bloom has been off the rose for a while now so no biggie.
― ABBA O RLY? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 24 September 2020 18:57 (three years ago) link
I managed to escape relegation, so I'm happy with that. I just checked, and my rundle had the highest QPct across all of LL (.797). Which means I had a bunch of matches where I thought I did pretty well, but my opponent did just a bit better.
― jaymc, Thursday, 24 September 2020 18:58 (three years ago) link
best finish ever -- second, behind the fucker who won for the fourth time -- and finally made the tourney. fortunately our QPct was nowhere near that of jaymc's rundle
― mookieproof, Thursday, 24 September 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link
My QPct is one correct question from being division-average, so my actual performance mostly ended up matching my Pythagorean.

I do prefer the name Sakura (which I voted for along with Wakanda) over Keystone, so that's fun!

I have benefited from some generous scoring and a ton of luck in the STUFF ML, where I'm currently in fourth but which I expect to fall from very quickly.
