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
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 5 November 2020 17:55 (three years ago) link
lol, ulysses.I did exactly the same as jaymc w.r.t. Monopoly.

What's more, Q6 broke up my previously perfect math score.
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Friday, 6 November 2020 18:05 (three years ago) link
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.
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Wednesday, 11 November 2020 18:28 (three years ago) link
3 and 2 so far; basically getting 3-4 questions right every day
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 November 2020 18:39 (three years ago) link
Ohhhhh, I was 100% thinking of that Laos flag.

Hope you all got Whale, one way or another
― An Andalusian Do-rag (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 12 November 2020 14:36 (three years ago) link
not a clue on that one
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:43 (three years ago) link
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.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:40 (three years ago) link
whale was a random guess because the only WHA animal team i could think of was hartford
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
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
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:48 (three years ago) link
WAIT were they called the Whalers because WHAlers???
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
oh damn that never even occurred to me
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 22:16 (three years ago) link
If I'd thought of that I might have gotten the question right
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 22:19 (three years ago) link
if you're not a universal monsters nerd, james whale is memorable for being the subject of the film Gods and Monsters with Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser in one of his last films before he went action hero

i don't really feel like i'm dominating. it's early days yet and i'll likely fall back into the middle of the group before season ends

Part of me wants to comment upon my experience working on the 60s Music ML now that it is over and I have some distance from it but maybe I should just let it pass.
― An Andalusian Do-rag (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 November 2020 19:23 (three years ago) link
My first 9/6 yesterday!
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:04 (three years ago) link
hey i got 9/6 yesterday too. still pretty rare for me.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:15 (three years ago) link
there's always a 9/6 in the banana stand
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:34 (three years ago) link
lol
― Indieland Phil and Indieland Don (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:38 (three years ago) link
That's the only one I missed.
9(6) yesterday for me! not counting minileagues obv, this is only my third sixpack in 11 seasons (I've had a 9(5) as well). yaaaaaay!
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:10 (three years ago) link
i lost on a 3/3 vs 7/3 yesterday, annoyedface.emoji

I was gifted a 3 on the Eswatini question even though I made explicit mention of it in the Djibouti thread.
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:25 (three years ago) link
Which was enough to give me a tie instead of a loss.
how many days in a row can I get 5 out of 6 and lose I ask you
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 19 November 2020 14:51 (three years ago) link
It's happened to me the last two days!
(Annoyed at myself because I literally typed in Raphael and then erased it and put Donizetti, who isn't even an artist.)

Never delete your first answer and replace it with something less famous is the lesson o keep learning over and over and not remembering somehow
― is right unfortunately (silby), Thursday, 19 November 2020 15:05 (three years ago) link
Yup. I think changing the answer is OK if there is actual logic behind it, but not because "this kinda sounds right?"
