No, from assorted references over the past couple of years. I think the search isn't working properly. I did a search just for "deck," which returns 30 results -- but they're all from 2015 or earlier. It doesn't seem very plausible that no one has used that word in 6 years.

I've scratched my way to 11th, then noticed that I'm just 2 points away from promotion! Obviously a very packed field, and given my bad tiebreakers, I'm not going to worry too much about this; I'm just glad I've gotten a cushion between me and relegation.

OK I'm sharing this here instead of the LL board because I don't want to give my opponents an extra leg up on me (NA thankfully got promoted ahead of me): https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/445411558

You'd think the State Attorney would be in a higher rundle
“It violates everything that should be honest and straightforward about our elections,” Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle (D) said on Thursday, noting that investigators are still probing the case as well as two other suspicious candidates in other state races.

are AnkiWeb and the Anki phone app somehow not compatible? Or am i doing this wrong?

when i searched for that Great Works of Art one before, 2 other decks showed up but not that one
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:05 (three years ago) link
okay well the answer seems to be that the AnkiApp that I downloaded and have been using is like a rip-off of Anki and is not actually affiliated with it?

I almost didn't get Gracenote because while I knew it I thought "that can't be right because the word note is in the question" -- fortunately I couldn't think of any other answer
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 20:52 (three years ago) link
I'm in 5th place! I think this is the highest I've reached this late in the season, and I still have a reasonable chance at promotion!
I know that there's been talk about how this stretch of matches (going on 10-11) have been historically easy, but I don't care, I'll take it.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 22:18 (three years ago) link
Ok what the hell, I've secured promotion?!
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Friday, 26 March 2021 14:53 (three years ago) link
Congrats! I've had a pretty good season by my standards, going into the final day at 9-6-9. Most excitingly, I've set a personal record for TCA.
― jaymc, Friday, 26 March 2021 15:30 (three years ago) link
Yeah, me too! I was on a tear and have since lost my last 6 in a row (lol?) but should finish in the top eight in C.
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 26 March 2021 15:40 (three years ago) link
good season here too, i was expecting to get knocked back down to C but i've held my own
― na (NA), Friday, 26 March 2021 15:41 (three years ago) link
Pretty good season yes, was in promotion placing after MD 22, with all in my own hands really, but then went on a fair loss to the rundle leader followed by a none-too-flattering 2(3)-6(3) defeat. I seem to be guaranteed a 4th or 5th placing in Meridian B. (Promotion isn't totally off the table I guess, considering the occasional higher-rundle attrition, but I'm not too bothered; contending in the top of B certainly has its charmes vs struggling against relegation in A.)
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 26 March 2021 19:43 (three years ago) link
charmes even!
anyone have any very best wrong answers they wanna rep for? i can't even get thru them, so many of them wouldnt even be worthy of a temporary dn change on ilx which to me is the bar u have to pass for a VBWA

Someone on the boards posted Meet ICQute, which is a great deep cut.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Friday, 26 March 2021 20:44 (three years ago) link
ninth-highest TCA, second-lowest CAA. so i finished second
the person whose stats i posted above won the rundle for the fourth time in the last seven seasons and got *eleven* more correct answers than i did. utter savage
― mookieproof, Saturday, 27 March 2021 09:32 (three years ago) link
5th, third highest TCA
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:43 (three years ago) link
4th, finishing with a 9(5), which is always kinda fun. Highest TCA; 109 would even be top-half in the A rundle it seems.
― anatol_merklich, Saturday, 27 March 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
8th worst TCA, third best CAA, and second best defensive efficiency are why I ended up and overall.
Btw, the Rivers, Lakes, etc. is another deck I recommend. I almost got the Irrawaddy question right because of it (I went with Salween).

What's up with the fingerprint?
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:37 (three years ago) link
With 18 categories, the total number of combinations is over 6 quadrillion possible orderings, so the theory is that with some tens of thousands of players, each one has a unique order of categories (ranked best to last or whatever).
― Ovid-19 (Leee), Thursday, 1 April 2021 17:09 (three years ago) link
? i'm missing the context.
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 1 April 2021 17:34 (three years ago) link
From the thread that kicked things off:
It occurred to me that, with 18 LL categories, the number of ways to order the categories far, far exceeds the number of active LL players (or humans in general). In principle, then, everyone might be expected to have a unique category ordering by Q% and that be a "fingerprint" of sorts.
Then Thorsten in a fit of procrastination decided to add it to the site, and now it's a thing.
― Ovid-19 (Leee), Thursday, 1 April 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
yikes, okay.
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 1 April 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link
It's hard for me to imagine that *no one* else shares my fingerprint (6BGE147FA8D9I2H53C, if you must know), given that there are some correlations between strength in some categories and weakness in others. But maybe!
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 April 2021 18:53 (three years ago) link
Wait, Thorsten’s fingerprints only use letters.

Ha, no. Did you use the Bulk Uploader?
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 12 April 2021 19:48 (three years ago) link
I did (definitely beats copy-pasting a dozen times). It can however be a little wonky, but trying again seems to iron out the wrinkles.
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Monday, 12 April 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link
Mine is not live until May.Yeah, there are some subtleties to the Bulk Upload, but overall seems to work pretty well.

By the way, may I ask how many people ended up giving you feedback?
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 12 April 2021 23:44 (three years ago) link
12/12 for the second one; the first one I think was 11/12.
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Monday, 12 April 2021 23:48 (three years ago) link
Thanks. How long did it take from them all to come in after you submitted?
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 12 April 2021 23:50 (three years ago) link
For the second one, we got about half of them within the last few days before the testing deadline (though a whole bunch right after I submitted the drafts). They definitely came in in waves.
I'm not as sure about the first one because forks took the lead there (and only one smith gets notified as the feedback comes in).
