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

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.)

2(3), coulda sworn there was a missouri in monopoly

lol, ulysses.

I did exactly the same as jaymc w.r.t. Monopoly.

Friggin’ in O’Higgins

... and yesterday, I went 0(0). *sigh*

What's more, Q6 broke up my previously perfect math score.

4(4), all on the pop culture questions. Lamb of God was something I had just been reading about!

my dumb ass misread the emblem of india question and wrote "camel, elephant, eagle, horse"

I didn't get that the Agnus Dei question could involve translation, so I decided Peccata Mundi sounded like a good metal band name.

Elephant was MCWA, at 55%!

I had elephant. I guess the symbol on this former flag of Laos may have been present in people's heads:

There was also thing about any exposure to Discworld.

Oh right, makes sense.

Really?

Four elephants standing facing outward on a circular thing, yes?

This season has been very feast/famine for me, as I've gotten 6, 0, 2, 5, 1 right answers so far.

3 and 2 so far; basically getting 3-4 questions right every day

Ohhhhh, I was 100% thinking of that Laos flag.

Hope you all got Whale, one way or another

not a clue on that one

I totally got it due to "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" which means I got 2 questions in 1 day due to teenaged watching of Beavis & Butthead.

whale was a random guess because the only WHA animal team i could think of was hartford

im having an awful season defensively & strength of schedule-wise; last in correct answers against, DE at .636 (aside from a couple of bad seasons i'm usually around .780)... really hope i regress very soon

WAIT were they called the Whalers because WHAlers???
