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

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).

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).

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?

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

― 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.

my A rundle appears to be among the very easiest around, which is fine with me
― mookieproof, Saturday, 19 June 2021 18:21 (three years ago) link
My B rundle is 35-32-32-32-31-31-30 at the top, promotion placings bolded, my points italicized, so I appear to have an outside chance of the privilege of spending the next season in relegation agony rather than promotion hopefulness.

Heh, I swear my drunken 2.58 m high-jump simile of two days ago was written without knowledge of this: Rich guy beats Vishy Anand in chess game, latter takes it well; eyebrows in chess community are raised; rich guy is found to have cheated, rich guy then (but not before) pretty much tweets OF COURSE i cheated: It is ridiculous that so many are thinking that I really beat Vishy sir in a chess game, that is almost like me waking up and winning a 100mt race with Usain Bolt.

I just looked through a bunch of league leaders and I actually found 2 other players who have only missed 4 questions this season, which is also the second for both (one does have a forfeit loss, however). At the same time, the other more established players have all gotten fewer than a dozen wrong answers themselves. A Rundle problems.
― BABA BUOY (Leee), Sunday, 20 June 2021 16:39 (three years ago) link
Only one other, it seems? The leaguewide TCA leaders (all leagues, all rundles) have these scores out of 150:
146146142141141141141141140140140140140then 139, 138 (times 5), 137 (times 11), 136 (times 3), 135 (times 13), 134 (times 14), and so on with quite a few people on each score.
Although looking closer, none of those two has a forfeit loss, so maybe something was done already. In any case, that four-point jump at the top stands out a bit, I must say.

i got a 7(5) on the last day! unfortunately my competitor got a 9(6)
it's ok, i think C is probably where i belong. i had a couple of good seasons (or rather, seasons that seemed heavier on my better topics) that bumped me up into B and kept me there for a bit, but i'm probably a C at heart
― na (NA), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 15:19 (three years ago) link
I won my rundle for the second consecutive year, in both instances primarily due to good (i.e. lucky) defense. It's a dynasty!
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 15:30 (three years ago) link
Uh, I obv forgot to account for the 0(F) in my last post above; seems guy #3 ended up with five errors.
Had a pretty bad final day; #7 in B probably about fair. :)

― na (NA), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 17:09 (three years ago) link
I'm pretty sure that during the expansion era it got less competitive over time, by a vaguely statistical argument. Most players who join will be around the median strength, and the concentration of skilled players in the A rundles of the earliest leagues will be diluted out, giving more opportunity for people like yrs truly to float in the middle of an A rundle indefinitely despite a not very spectacular Qpct.
― Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 17:26 (three years ago) link
like, I assume each new league added didn't necessarily = the addition of 25 new players who are all as strong or stronger than every player already in an A rundle.
