*Phew* scraped by another season. Sorry, forks.

A typically average season for me: 10th place with a 12-10-3 record. My long-term LL goal is to even out my career record, which is now 363-374-138.

finished with 22 CAA in four straight losses, fell from 13th to 24th, just avoiding relegation

i did okay but drew the short straw. i think i can bump back up to c in a season or two.

I smashed my previous personal record for TCA by 9 questions (why couldn't this season have happened when I was in B?) and nearly doubled my 9(6)s with two more this season.
But I also had a combination of rotten luck and my worst defense ever (though only by a handful of percentage points) and so I ended under 0.500 though thankfully above relegation. NA also swept me in our two matches.

my tca was above the #9 in our rundle, which is a thing someone who gets relegated says

What’s the etiquette about posting general stuff about other LLamas if you are friends with them on social media, like if I want to compliment someone on a good performance?
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 January 2022 20:47 (two years ago) link
Subtweet imo.
― Rabbit Pen Warren (Leee), Thursday, 6 January 2022 20:49 (two years ago) link
What about a sideways Subtweet approach, where I praise the person but don't spell out what it is for?
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 6 January 2022 21:47 (two years ago) link
you could stright up compliment them to their face(s) like a normal person
or you could make subtweets here and hope that we figure out which names you're dropping so we will be extra impressed with your slyness
― mookieproof, Friday, 7 January 2022 02:51 (two years ago) link
What is this "to their face" you speak of, Lieutenant Mookieproof?

Is there anyone else who had never heard of the word "rundle" in their life before joining LL?

only at the doctor's office

Anyone doing the Italy ML? I forgot to sign up. Just submitted answers on two 1DSs though.
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 10 January 2022 15:16 (two years ago) link
I'm doing it. I have a weirdly hard time reintegrating the LL habit after a long break, though. Haven't really looked at any of the 1DSes from the past few days.
― jaymc, Monday, 10 January 2022 15:32 (two years ago) link
I hear you.
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 10 January 2022 16:00 (two years ago) link
My first three Italy ML matches have all been ties, and my first Women's Sports ML match was a tie, too.
I guess the latter isn't surprising since the leaguewide get rates for that first set of questions was: 93%, 92%, 84%, 74%, 17%, 6%. I'm guessing a lot of people, like me and my opponent, went 4(4). We knew the easy questions and defended them appropriately.
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 January 2022 19:00 (two years ago) link
That's exactly what happened in my match too.

Astronomy ML2 starts tomorrow. Ready, Silby? Ready, Greg?

Also here to street team for my friend's Aimee Mann 1DS.

Astronomy's not a strength of mine, so I don't anticipate doing particularly well in that ML, but I view it as a learning experience.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 25 January 2022 02:13 (two years ago) link
Same here.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 25 January 2022 02:46 (two years ago) link
Greg, you did the best of anyone I track in Just Audio Choral Music 2, just a hair out of Top 20%, kudos!Not sure how I feel about Astronomy 2 yet. So far it's been reasonably interesting but can only imagine what will happen with it actually starts to get difficult according to the Smiths. (Style question: should Smith be capitalized or not?)
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 January 2022 20:52 (two years ago) link
Been making unforced errors and now have two ties and a loss in Astronomy but still it’s an interesting topic and the ML seems okay.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 29 January 2022 22:57 (two years ago) link
Oh balls, I moneyed the wrong question in the Pynchon 1DS.
― Gowron Hubbard (Leee), Sunday, 30 January 2022 18:20 (two years ago) link
IHeh, sorry. I playtested that one so I avoided any situation like that.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 30 January 2022 19:14 (two years ago) link
Yup, exactly how I thought it'd play out: 72th %ile, could've gotten into the top 10% if I'd moneyed the Wittgenstein question (which I'd made a mental note to money).
― Gowron Hubbard (Leee), Monday, 31 January 2022 20:44 (two years ago) link
Sorry. Funny how that happens.

Wow, some people doing really well in Worldwide History. I see at least two familiar names at first place in their respective groups.

i'm pissed at myself for slipping on one name on the comics in the 80's poll... woulda been my first 100%!

Your comics finish was pretty respectable but yeah, I know how you feel, I think.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 February 2022 23:43 (two years ago) link
I named Peacemaker instead of the Question and then moneyed that question. Got everything else right and still finished at 70! dadgummit
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 6 February 2022 01:11 (two years ago) link
Feel like it is more common than I expected to do things like that. I know I just did something like that recently and so did someone else I know.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 6 February 2022 03:16 (two years ago) link
Think maybe the worst thing is just to money too conservatively.
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 6 February 2022 03:17 (two years ago) link
well that was my thinking and i figured that would be one most would miss. I just didn't think i would!

Starting to think there is some kind of penalty kick anxiety thing going on in these situations.

A case in point, except not quite: I confidently put and monied one incorrect answer in the Billy Wilder 1DS. According to the Me tab, even with that wrong answer, if I had monied differently I could have jumped from almost 300th place to the top ten.

Letters with a horizontal middle do not strikeout too well (badly?), it's true.
More later, yes, but in the meantime: Thanks for noticing! :)

Sure! Hope you guys don’t mind me tracking. It is actually kind of a fun feature, to see how people are doing.

I don’t care that much about regular season, kind of live for the off season. I did just subscribe to Yu Oughta Know, maybe that will help with something.

People who are way into it seem to be constantly doing other trivia events, for one thing.
I don’t care that much about regular season, kind of live for the off season.
Heh I'm pretty much the exact opposite.
Happy with most of the Worldwide History thing, though, apart from the Championship which turned out a bit of a calculated-risk disaster. (I figured I'd do some aggressive moneying, and dropped two out of five.)
― anatol_merklich, Sunday, 13 February 2022 22:27 (two years ago) link
I know Greg and at least one other person on this thread are doing various incarnations of OQL now - weird I'm probably going to come up against you guys (might have done so already!) without knowing it
