Can't believe my luck. 23/25 through Week 1 as a 65% player.

Week 2 regression to mean...
Day 7: 4(2)
Day 8: 4(3)
Day 9: 2(2)

Extremely lucky that performance is good enough for draw-win-draw in L2. Day 9 was against second place, so that was an unconvincing clinch of the "regular-season" title.

[Butter]

Going to be playing for the Deildin Five title and 2 level promotion. Me and the other guy were the only 50%+ players in the league. I went 7-1-1, and hopefully can pull a win out tomorrow. Been a solid 60% player thus far.

[ntndeacon]

I'll be firmly in the bottom league. I had a couple close calls that should have been wins but turned into losses. I ended in eighth in the Junior league.

[Butter]

Won the title baby, going up 2 levels.

Got question 2, and it was marked as the HR. Gonna get 6(2), and opponent has just one ungraded question and can only get a max of 4(2).

[RendeR]

IS it still possible to get into this? it sounds interesting and would give me something to do during work hours when I get bored.

[britrock88]

Finished 1st in the regular season of Ragnarok L2, faced Aaron K. for the title (drew against him earlier), and lost.

Wanna know how my Fortnight 8 went, by chance?

[Toddzilla]

I won my 5 v 6 Juniors (2-0) final so I'm headed up to Serie 3.

It takes some time off between Fortnights, so we can post again when it gets close

I believe he is opening up invitations Monday or Tuesday due to Memorial Day, but we can make sure something is posted here for all new interested parties.

[korme]

As he keeps adding leagues, I'm wondering if there is a merger coming to make the top leagues bigger and more important. How many conferences before the significance of winning the league becomes less important?

[Butter]

0-for-10 on the Meisterschaft, so that was sweet

Probably should've gotten at least 2 of them, but I didn't.

How did it go? Was it live? Did you have a time limit?

He's doing it invitations differently this time around, so just PM me your first & last name plus email address and a referral will be sent over.

It was a moderator verbally asking just me questions. 90 second time limit on 10 questions, had a total of 20 minutes blocked out to do it, probably took 10 because I gave up quickly on most of them.

1 question per category. I could've gotten 2 of them maybe. The guy was super nice about it. He said they were playing tough across all people so far.

I had to screen share and have my hands visible for no cheating.

[korme]

I got 4/10 right on the form from the email today. Surprised you didn't get any, with your percentage being quite high compared to mine. But I had the luxury of no pressure and just doing it for fun. The clock and the guy looking at you must add a level of pressure for sure.

[Butter]

I think the time pressure was tough. But I definitely should've gotten at least 2 of them. I don't remember all the questions even at this point, but the 1B gold glove question and the sacks question I should've gotten for sure. I also feel like I could've gotten the women's hockey question with a period of thinking, because I for sure knew one of them.

Oh well! Still getting promoted so it's all good

[korme]

You guys doing the US Open friendly?

[Toddzilla]

and post an 0-fer? Nah.

Yep, I posted that as I opened the google form in a new tab. Then I proceeded to close that tab after viewing the questions. Sheesh.

[Toddzilla]

New Fortnight starts tonight!

I'm in Desolation South / Serie Three this time

[korme]

Matchup history looks awesome!

I am in Endtimes - Deildin Five, competing against my brother for the second time. The only stakes that matter.

Same, but North

[Toddzilla]

I know it's a lower level and the early questions are easiest, but I got my first perfect 5-for-5

[JeeberD]

4/5 each of the first two days. Yesterday it was enough for a win...hopefully tonight is, too.

[RendeR]

I'm in the newbie leagues, but I'm 2-0 and 9-10 so far...day 3 is gonna be rough I know I missed at least 2 right off the bat.

[korme]

Only 2/5 today.

[RendeR]

took my first loss today, only got 2 right and my opponent K'd one of them =(

[Butter]

0-4-2 so far, a disaster!

[Toddzilla]

I've been getting crushed, too. Pulled out 2 draws the last 2 weeks but I'm 1-4-2 and dead last in Serie 3.

[RendeR]

Aight, I got beef with an answer judgment LOL

"She hit the Buzzer" is LITERALLY the definition of completing the course in American Ninja Warrior. The commentators at the time (yes I was watching) literally used that phrase.

I think I should get credit for that one LOL

[RendeR]

And I just had a helluva matchup with my co-leader. I think I got him 8-6 but will have to wait for the full results.

[korme]

I found today to be really difficult, but I am playing someone 0-7-1 so hopefully he goes scoreless. By a stroke of luck I am 5-3... I think I had 3 matchups in a row where my opponent went 0fer.

[ntndeacon]

Staying in Sixeleagen and in an honors match today

[Toddzilla]

I'm getting relegated to Four Divisie

I put "Won American Warrior" because I didn't remember the exact name. Not only did I get the name of the show wrong, she also didn't win. But I got credit for a correct answer.

[Butter]

Also getting relegated to either 4 or 5 depending on today's outcome

[korme]

I'm getting promoted to Four Divisie. I spend most of my time in Dieldin Five, but I have a coffee cup every few seasons in Four Divisie. Not sure what the soccer equivalent of that is but I'm sure there's one haha.

edit

Completely had it backward. I will be spending my fifth season in Four Divisie, this was only my second go of being in Dieldin Five. So I'm like a bottom feeder team that sometimes has to go down a level before going back up.

[RendeR]

I won my championship match! not sure where I Will end up from there.

That's awesome, man, congrats!

[RendeR]

Thanks, I got a face to face test coming up Friday. Not sure what to expect from this.

Be sure to let us know how you do. I think Butter went 0/10 on his live day.

[Butter]

I sure did, they were tough. Not embarrassed but it was a little humbling

[korme]

I can imagine it's a lot harder when people are focusing their attention towards you and the clock is ticking, no doubt.

[RendeR]

Hrm, I've got no email from Shane yet, pretty sure I signed up for noon today?

[RendeR]

Guess I got the time wrong lol.

[RendeR]

Well I am definitely humbled. My database brain utterly blanked on multiple questions I knew but just couldn't pull the names up for. I feel really dumb right now.

big fat 0-10

[RendeR]

beginning to question the "Just for fun" aspect of this.... feeling insulted atm.

Why?

[RendeR]

Because apparently going 0-fer in the verbal is grounds for a cheating accusation. Thats the only thing I can assume. There was no actual reasons given, just, "we think you're a cheater, you're out."

The template letter for those being accused needs to be written a bit more....diplomatically.

I get the point that overall they're trying to keep it honest but frankly, its too subjective. None of the accused can argue someone's opinion. If I believe person A is cheating, Person A is probably never going to convince me otherwise. Its all circumstantial and personal bias.

Its great that they're trying. Just kind of insulting when you're one of the wrongfully accused. I mean, whats the point?
