The final for the LL GKBC absolutely kicked my ass.

ntndeacon · 10-28-2021, 12:00 PM

Congrats on getting the 1day! I'll definitely take part...(even when I suck on the category! )

cuervo72 · 10-28-2021, 12:23 PM

Thanks! I already have 17 questions written, will probably write more, then will pick my twelve. They are not all going to be of the "name this song" variety. And they will hopefully have a few ins/be able to be puzzled out, maybe.

Butter · 11-08-2021, 07:44 AM

Nothing beats a perfect score on opening day. Just my 4th all time in 15 seasons

It's all downhill from here

QuikSand · 11-08-2021, 12:54 PM

beer was right there for the taking and i blew it, likely a loss

ntndeacon · 11-09-2021, 07:12 AM

I couldn't remember Office Space...Luckily I got a win and a Dolley Parton and tie in my private rundle.

2 in a row. Butter's coming out hot in LL91.

Don't quote that

cuervo72 · 11-09-2021, 08:11 AM

Missed Office Space yesterday, lost to a beer. So it goes.

Butter · 11-30-2021, 08:10 AM

Busted out with 3-0-2 in week 1.

Currently 4-5-4, sitting 16th. Ouch

cuervo72 · 11-30-2021, 08:38 AM

5-5-3 for 14th here, but I'm not about to complain.

albionmoonlight · 11-30-2021, 08:56 AM

Got one question right yesterday and still beat a forfeit. Monday after Thanksgiving for the win!

ntndeacon · 02-14-2022, 02:53 PM

Good luck to everyone on openening day today!

kingnebwsu · 02-14-2022, 07:05 PM

Is this something that I can get an invitation to? Or do I need to solicit one elsewhere? Thanks!

Butter · 03-24-2022, 09:50 AM

Getting relegated to D! Nice job this time

QuikSand · 03-24-2022, 09:52 AM

I lost my last three games this season to slide into the relegation zone as well.

I was a >.500 player in B when I was last there, so maybe it will be better for my day-to-day, to be honest. In A, I was feeling disappointed when I'd get an objectively pretty good 4/6, knowing that it was a likely loss.

cuervo72 · 03-24-2022, 09:59 AM

Yeah, our particular A rundle is a little whack. At least this season there was a little spread from top to bottom, but the top players are pretty crazy. I had an "unlucky" season (there's a poster who runs numbers on that) and lead the rundle in CAA. It took 9(6)s to get my first five wins. I only had 8 victories overall, one with a 4/6. It's basically 5 minimum or go home, and even then it's a crapshoot (I went 2-4-3 with 5 correct).

Umbrella · 03-25-2022, 07:19 PM

Missed promotion to B by 1 point. Probably for the best, as I had a lot of luck go my way this season.

cuervo72 · 04-14-2022, 07:58 AM

My 1DS is open today! Learn about the music I was listening to ten years ago!

(And some today, not like my tastes change all that much.)

Young Drachma · 04-18-2022, 12:41 PM

In case someone wants in, I do have referrals to use. Just PM me.

ntndeacon · 05-15-2022, 11:58 PM

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Congratulations on the win!

britrock88 · 06-02-2022, 03:27 PM

Halfway through the season and I'm gobsmacked to still be leading my B rundle. A combination of a good get rate (70%), a favorable opponent get rate (just over 50%), good-enough defense (.700), and good offensive efficiency, I think?

britrock88 · 06-17-2022, 12:40 PM

I have a chance to clinch Hinterland B (against Quik) today. Depending on results, though, I may have a 1 v. 2 showdown on Monday.

ntndeacon · 06-18-2022, 07:31 PM

Britrock has been killing it. Good luck in A next season!

sorry, my first beer of the season I'm pretty sure...

ntndeacon · 08-29-2022, 12:33 AM

Good luck to everyone in the new season starting tomorrow!

JeeberD · 08-30-2022, 07:15 PM

Today I'm trying to avoid going 0-3 lifetime against digamma. I did pretty well... hopefully it's enough!

ntndeacon · 10-04-2022, 03:43 PM

Congrats to cuervo for qualifying for the LL championship!

cuervo72 · 10-04-2022, 03:57 PM

Thanks! Everything went my way this season. Looking forward to the challenge, let's see where I can get with nine more months of study.

Not only did I beat digamma this match, but I faced him again later in the season and beat him a second time. The rest of my season, though, was nothing to write home about.

ntndeacon · 11-10-2022, 05:31 PM

Does anyone test one days?

cuervo72 · 11-10-2022, 08:21 PM

I haven't but I really should. Problem is finding something that I don't know nothing about while not feeling like I'd actually play it live.

ntndeacon · 11-11-2022, 10:01 AM

I'm testing your 1 day! that is a fine line, though.

cuervo72 · 11-11-2022, 02:17 PM

Hah! (Shoot, I should start writing the questions...)

Butter · 12-15-2022, 06:34 AM

Promoted back to C after 3 seasons in D this season. Finally

albionmoonlight · 12-15-2022, 07:57 AM

My defense was horrible this year. I got the most points in my rundle, but I still did not promote.

It really is a game of offense and defense, which is what makes it so cool.

Umbrella · 12-15-2022, 09:19 AM

My first promotion in my 9 seasons of play, into B. I'll probably get slaughtered, but it's fun to finally move around.

cuervo72 · 12-15-2022, 09:21 AM

I went on an absolute tear to end the season, and get my QPct. in a range that makes me feel good that last season's, while a bit lucky, wasn't a total fluke. Defense could have been better, but wound up pretty much right on my career average. I still seem to run near the top of TCA, but mostly powered through it.

ntndeacon, my 1DS questions are locked and loaded for testing!

ntndeacon · 12-16-2022, 02:46 PM

I managed to survive back in A . It took a win vs the #1 guy to get it done.

way to go... I eked out one return and then got packing back to my more comfy climes in B... can't run with the cuervos and deacons of the world and i just need to handle it

ntndeacon · 02-13-2023, 10:13 AM

Good Luck to everyone today!

cuervo72 · 02-13-2023, 11:04 AM

LL96 woo!

albionmoonlight · 02-14-2023, 09:40 AM

Dominating win yesterday.

1 answer right today.

So goes Learned League.

Keeps you humble.

Umbrella · 03-22-2023, 10:25 AM

Congrats to QuikSand for winning B division.

This was the most bizarre season for me. I set my personal record for longest losing streak, immediately followed by my personal longest winning streak. That may have been one of the streakiest seasons ever.

QuikSand · 03-22-2023, 01:31 PM

Thanks, I had a nice run this round, and got some luck with some close wins (a relative turnabout for me). I will await my likely doom in my second sortie into the more rarefied airs of the A rundle.
