As someone who takes this stuff way too seriously, I'm glad I'm not doing any of the current MLs.
That said, I did really well in the New Year's 1DS, which is especially pleasing because it wasn't even on my radar till the day of.

Are you going to do the next two MLs that are queued up?

Just LGBT2. It's been a long time since I try to maintain literary pretensions, so probably wouldn't do well in 21st C Lit (ahem).
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Friday, 23 April 2021 18:44 (three years ago) link
i was interested in both of those but i don't like doing multiple mini leagues at the same time, so i ended up just picking 21st century lit

Yeah, two MLs at once can be kind of fatiguing

Ive somehow clawed my way to 2nd in puzzle league due to ridiculous luck in schedule. I face 1 and 3 this week tho, let's see how far that luck can stretch

I was fine with two but three did me in: On MD1 of 21st C Lit, I forgot to submit my answers for MD11 of Puzzle League.

Which effectively put me out of the running for the championship.
My 1DS is live for the next day or so (Just Audio: Familiar Songs).

cool, will play tonight!

I played and enjoyed. Made an unforced error though.

As I also did on Outlaw Country, where it really cost me.

Greg, yours is literally the only one today that I can MAYBE get one right!

You didn't try Neo-Noir?

I submitted every one except Greg's.

On another note, I am finding out it’s actually not bad to play along with a(n) ML that one is not registered in. No need to worry about wagering, for one thing.
― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 3 May 2021 22:24 (three years ago) link
Interesting that only Greg and I did Outlaw Country.

I generally try to do every pop music 1DS
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Monday, 3 May 2021 22:57 (three years ago) link
Makes sense. I just noticed that I guy I recently became acquainted with seems to do every single 1DS. Seems to be somewhat excessive imho.
― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 3 May 2021 23:21 (three years ago) link
Waiting to see how I did on Greg's and a few others. Mine goes live tomorrow, I am a bit nervous.

The thing about doing a ton of 1DSes is that it gives additional information for your opponents on how to defend you.
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 17:19 (three years ago) link
Does it go into the statistics?
― A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link
No, but the more dedicated defenders can click through to your profile and see your full 1DS history, which might feasibly help on certain questions.

Greg, did you send your testers a PM thank you as well as thanking them in the recap?

Okay, I've recently gone north of 200 submissions so I can die young, stay pretty and you can bury me happy. Well, um, anyway, I think you catch my drift.

I have never PM'd to thank testers except once or twice for a couple of testers who really went above and beyond, but a lot of people have mentioned on the message boards that they like it. I test for a lot of 1DS's myself and it's pretty rare to get any messages from the smith.

I did it just now. I received a bunch of these but they were very formal, which was still sort of nice. I tried to make it informal and I sent it right today as a reminder in case they want to look at the actual contest.
