Some kind of Eastern European thing, eating pancakes for Shrovetide.

Eastern European? Pancake Day is pretty common in the U.K., or at least was when I studied there in the late '90s.
― jaymc, Friday, 28 May 2021 14:58 (three years ago) link
As the final day before the austerity of the Lenten fast, Shrove Tuesday also has many customs pertaining to food. Pancakes are traditional in a number of European countries because eggs, sugar, and fat, commonly forbidden during the Lenten fast, are used up so they will not go to waste; the day is known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday in Ireland and in many Commonwealth countries.

same. seemed like "indulgence" was a slam dunk to me.

yeah i answered indulgence knowing that it was likely wrong

Had no idea here, thought maybe there was some kind of Catholic doctrine of absolution called "syrupy"

Haven't checked yet, but I hope you all got RHINOCEROS, which has a tie-in with a recent ILX0r 1DS.
― AP Chemirocha (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 3 June 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
I'll bite: what's the tie-in? (I got it wrong.)

In a long discussion about that elsewhere.
― AP Chemirocha (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 11 June 2021 16:56 (three years ago) link
My contention is that the question was insufficiently pinned.
if you have heard of "modes" and know what some of them are called you would always just write "modes" there idk

ive heard of modes but didn't remember the word so i was like "lydian scale, mixolydian scale, they aren't chromatic so they must be diatonic" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
still lost
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 11 June 2021 21:51 (three years ago) link
i know shit about music theory but happened to read a sci-fi-ish book that mentioned the mixolydian mode in april
highlight of my season is that out of nowhere i pulled 'kirov' out of my ass to correctly answer our (thus far) hardest question

the person leading the whole thing this season has gotten 128 right and 4 wrong
is it petty of me to be skeptical
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 June 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
I aced my first match in two seasons, and finally caught a break as my opponent yesterday is Irish (and missed an older NWSL question too) but got the others right. Still firmly ensconced in relegation though.

Downright dismissive? You have a minor risk of being wrong. Skeptical? I would say hell no that is not petty. I haven't checked who you're talking about, but that better be a major star in the game (or sensational new discovery).

B-b-but isn't TAI usually pretty good at rooting out problematic players?
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 17 June 2021 23:39 (three years ago) link
Sigh etc; maybe let bullshit do what bullshit be or maybe vice versa or not I dunno; if you have a physical spring cleverly inserted in your step you may not know that the actual world high jump record is FAR below your online backyard 2:58 metres -- others may be aware of this though.
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 18 June 2021 00:09 (three years ago) link
Found the player mentioned (or at least someone with same TCA), and it appears to be only his second season. A bit early for any rooting out, I suppose, even if warranted (which, again, we do not know for a fact).
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 18 June 2021 12:12 (three years ago) link
Haven't played LL for ages, but I usually hear rumblings about suspicious behaviour from others and this season hasn't seen any gossip reach my radar. Is this one UK or US based?

US.

another solidly middle of the road C season for me. average among the obsessives, that's me.
― burly crafty woodsman (James Harden) vs tall ethereal phantom (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 19 June 2021 00:04 (three years ago) link
Having one of those seasons where I'm constantly struggling to stay above the relegation zone. Looks like it'll be down to the final Match Day.
― jaymc, Saturday, 19 June 2021 14:43 (three years ago) link
I've already lost that struggle.
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 19 June 2021 14:50 (three years ago) link
But I guess I can see a way that I could survive.
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 19 June 2021 14:53 (three years ago) link
I've clinched my spot in C for next season again. I'm honestly a little relieved, since the competition in B for me leaves almost no room for error. I can barely imagine what A is like.
― BABA BUOY (Leee), Saturday, 19 June 2021 16:09 (three years ago) link
I have had a spell or two in A and... it wasn't pleasant.
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 19 June 2021 16:33 (three years ago) link
I have a below-par Qpct for my A rundle but I tend to claim enough match wins and 9(6)s per season to finish somewhere in the third quartile, so long as I don’t forfeit.
