I know there's at least one other Spelling Bee fan here, and the 1Ds on it is live.
― Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Tuesday, 5 July 2022 20:56 (one year ago) link
Thanks. Another friend reminded me as well.

So for Indigenous America, I see jaymc, Greg, Leee, silby and myself. I am in the middle of the pack in my group but really enjoying this one so far.

Think I scared people away, but so be it.

One recap comin' up!

The loneliness of the long distance recap.

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

gen x culture is pretty fun but half the difficulty seems to be coming from the obtuse phrasing of the questions
― na (NA), Monday, 18 July 2022 19:53 (one year ago) link
I submitted my final questions for my 1DS -- it's this Friday!
― Stone Cold Steve Ostinato (Leee), Monday, 18 July 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link
Yay!

it's honestly impressive

I submitted on Uruguay 5 minutes late and it didn’t count :(

doing the trip hop 1DS, thought to myself "i really like how these are written, who wrote this?" then i looked up and went "OHHHHHH!" in real life
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 22 July 2022 20:08 (one year ago) link
Ha!

Aw, thanks Will!

Well, I submitted a MiniLeague proposal which is a decision that, if accepted, I'm sure I will come to regret. But it seems fun to try to work out the logistical challenges, at least once.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Saturday, 23 July 2022 13:14 (one year ago) link
If you do get it and you need any help please let me know and then…oh wait.

screwed myself out of a 4th place finish on trip hop because i was sure it was marina and not martina lol
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 25 July 2022 20:22 (one year ago) link
Oh, sorry about that. I didn’t play but it was a nice 1DS and a really good writeup.
― My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 16:16 (one year ago) link
One thing I don’t get is when people don’t do a recap. I think I remember one guy saying he was on vacation in the mountains or something while it was happening but other than something like that, there are various motivating factors to do the recap as soon as possible if possible.
― My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 16:18 (one year ago) link
Reason Zero is that is seems kind of chintzy when there is no recap.
― My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 31 July 2022 23:47 (one year ago) link
Reason One is that in some ways that is the most fun part of the contest to write.
...and 1DS submissions are open for 2023.
― My Little Red Buchla (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 4 August 2022 19:46 (one year ago) link
…and I just submitted mine.

I skipped out on a 1DS proposal, I'm all in on my minileague proposal instead

As is my tradition, I dropped the first match of the season, although this time in breathtakingly dumb fashion (I completely whiffed on Q2).
― we talkin bout praxis (Leee), Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link
Thank God for text notifications, because I completely forgot that yesterday was the start of the season until my phone buzzed at 10 pm. I'm going to blame the short submission window for the fact I missed the Nike question.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:48 (one year ago) link
Hearing that.

In 22nd after the first round of the LL Championship though I could have been top 5 if I'd have moneyed composite (not to mention answering Bletchley Hall instead of Bletchley Park)
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:08 (one year ago) link
Cool!
― Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:13 (one year ago) link
So a little behind Joon.
― Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:20 (one year ago) link
Oops. Maybe that’s a bit of a violation.
― Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 01:32 (one year ago) link
I'm sure it will be downhill from here but the record will show that at one point I was in 3rd place in the LL championship.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 7 September 2022 17:11 (one year ago) link
i am only . . . several hundred places behind you
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 7 September 2022 20:29 (one year ago) link
Ha, I looked on the list for familiar names and never noticed/got to you.
― Jean Arthur Rank (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 8 September 2022 10:30 (one year ago) link
Still finished top 25! Really glad that some bad moneying and dumb misses (still mad at myself for not being able to pull Bocephus) didn't hurt too much.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 8 September 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
yeah 23rd is very impressive, congrats!
