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 (one year ago) link
I did a null submission or ghost submission for Fugazi. Can’t remember if we discussed here how to do that.

Cool! Cranking through some 1DS testing I signed up for last week right now.

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.

Curious if the DMB 1DS talks about why they are so bad and hated.

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.

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 (one year 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 (one year 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.

I coudn't think of it and meant to agree earlier.

Are others finding the questions harder so far? I'm on pace to post my worst ever TCA.

Got my 7th 9(6) yesterday, which happens rarely enough that I actually do a completely unironic first pump when I get one.

I know it is often considered impolite, but yesterday’s get rates on Q2 and Q3… and even Q4.

too many questions about video games imo
tbf i guess many more people play them than drink obscure cocktails
for the mobile games i invariably answer 'candy crush'; this panned out once

I know nothing about BB but see that you have a few testing slots left, would a complete novice be of any use as far as feedback goes?
― Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Thursday, 30 June 2022 19:16 (one year ago) link
Sure, as long as you are nice about it!

Smithing 1DS's is definitely a time consuming and pretty thankless process but it's one of my favorite things about LL. Not something I would do if I didn't find writing and tinkering with questions fun though.― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, April 13, 2021 10:47 AM (one year ago) bookmarkflaglink
