Learned League

Maybe I shouldn't even say that, according to one of jaymc's earlier posts, sorry.

i didn't even know that was somebody. their pop music get rate is not great so maybe i can pull it out.

If anyone needs to send someone a referral, lmk - I have one to use.

He’s the classical music critic out of SF and namesake of the Kosman Koin.

A (the?) classical music critic for the SF Chronicle and SFGate

Partly worried that I breaking a rule saying even that, but even if in this case it is not too bad, I will tread carefully.

Did you guys receive the 60s Music ML notification on time on Thursday?

Faulkner 1DS looks intriguing.

my notification came too late for me to play actually

i have notched two forfeit wins in the 60s music minileague

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.

I did the Faulkner ODS and finished at a VERY pedestrian 39th %ile.

Pee Wee Herman today

OMG at today's STUFF Or Else!

yeah it was shall we say a bit of a short putt

god thakn u thread for reminding me, i have been 100% spacing on this LL minileague, i forfeited twice last week :(

(Do you guys know how to check that?)

Yeah, just click on the ME tab under Results.

Yes. I noticed it a while back. Wondering when it first appeared.

I overthought and put IRON VALKYRIE instead of IRON MAIDEN but still won 8(5)-6(5)

Fuck me for stupidly writing “kick beats”, i know better. Otherwise, yeah 8 5

The only one I didn't get was Mountain King and I lost, apparently I was up against a metalhead.

I think about a year ago, maybe? Someone had created a Chrome extension that showed it, and Thorsten must've thought it was worth incorporating into the site.

Somebody drank the beer.

got my ass handed to me in the finals of the 60s music minileague

Wait you were in the finals?

Oh, I see, I think. Not too bad really.

at least i didn't have to worry too much about picking money questions!

Hey we're doing a one day special!

Really? Congrats. I just looked and didn’t notice you there. I did see a few other ILX0rs though.

Oh wait now I see. Cool!

Hot damn!

Have you clicked on your Smith’s page yet?

yep! looks complicated!

Is there a list of the newly accepted 1DSes somewhere, or do I need to go through each month on the calendar?

Oh, never mind--found it!

I just clicked, which I didn't realize meant that it confirmed the date, which I hope is OK with forks.

sure!

This will take the edge off now that this current contest has finished

Looks like one of you is co-smithing TWO 1DS's. Good work!

Anyone sign up to do 1DS testing?

I always do a good bit of testing under the (unfounded but it's held up so far) belief that it may make it more likely for my 1DS proposals to be accepted.

Heh, I see you have a 1DS coming up.

I enjoyed being on the other side recently so signed up for a bunch of testing to keep it going. Congrats on getting into the 60s Music ML final btw.

I had a ton of fun helping to run that thing, even if it was kind of exhausting. Having withdrawal symptoms now.

It was all I could do to not mention Momus during the relevant recap.

oh HI DERE thread! Llama since 2010 myself, ready for B Meridian tomorrow; my flag will not take ironing. I don't too often take part in 1DS and MLs, but had fun both with 60s music and stuff-or-else til off-season. Good luck in the upcoming!

I got my first flagship 9(6)! Good thing too because my opponent got 5 right.

I lost on defense 3(3)-4(3), which is up there with the most annoying possible results

I won with a 9(5). I missed the Monopoly question but my British opponent (who got it right) gave me a 0 probably because he saw that I live in Illinois.

(I went with Indiana and Kentucky because I remembered that they were both colored red and, for some reason, couldn't remember that Illinois was, too.)
