As expected, I got steamrolled again by my LL bully, dropping me to 3rd. With 4th and 5th both playing relegation zone opponents and me up against 6th (with a TCA just 4 behind me), I have an extremely narrow path to promotion.

Well I actually moved up a rank! I'm expecting some regression to the mean next season and to get murdered again in B.

Oh wait, na did it too.
And Leee as well.
I was going to do it, but forgot. I always have trouble getting back into the LL groove after an extended break.

im having by far my best 1D season ever. a 95th, 90th, and 87th, and another good showing today... not bad for a career C/D rundler

Very clear example of the Last Name Only rule in a recent 1DS.

Not as singular as winning a 1DS outright but I squeaked into the top 10 of (of all things) Ballroom and Latin Dancing!
― Pomelo Anthony (Leee), Friday, 15 April 2022 21:20 (two years ago) link
So you did! Not as good as either of those but I made the top 5% on Tracks of an Old iPhone 3.
― Ramones Leave the Capitol (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 15 April 2022 21:34 (two years ago) link
It's official name was Tracks on an Old iPhone 3, but I feel like an opportunity was lost by using that preposition instead of the one I used.

Regretting a bit not doing Advice ML. Also just peeked at the handful of testers signed up so far for my 1DS, very interesting so far.

it was fun to have a Fugazi one-day. i think i did good, but not great (i missed a couple).
― na (NA), Thursday, 21 April 2022 19:01 (two years ago) link
I did a null submission or ghost submission for Fugazi. Can’t remember if we discussed here how to do that.

Sorry I flaked on you, Greg, but it seems like a couple of people here participated and did okay, and you had a reasonable turnout.

Kind of a trip playing English vocab and pop mythology at the same time. Former has generally been hard and hard to defend (DE around .500 and .600), but the latter has an average DE around .700 or .800.
― Star Trek: Strange New Wordles (Leee), Saturday, 7 May 2022 17:58 (two years ago) link
English vocab drama: I was in 3rd coming into MD11 and playing first place, so I didn't think I had much chance yesterday of making the final. But the person in second, who had been in first or second every match day, had a really bad day and lost, and I was able to catapult into second. I haven't opened up the championship yet but expect to do pretty poorly, as this is only the second time I made it to the round.
― Star Trek: Strange New Wordles (Leee), Wednesday, 11 May 2022 17:17 (two years ago) link
Aaaaand I got one question right in the Championship, so it's barely better than not playing in it at all!
― Santa Barbarous (Leee), Thursday, 12 May 2022 17:30 (two years ago) link
lol I qualified for the English Vocab championship but took a look at the questions last night and was like "nope." Not the first time I have skipped a ML championship, though I do feel bad for whoever I beat out to get there, who might have actually wanted to play it.
