Re: LL 100

I took a defensive loss to jeff6286 on MD23 and will play mahatma on MD25. I'm out of championship contention at this point, but both those guys are currently in the top three in A Labyrinth. I would never advocate breaking a rule, but if you wanted to take the day off from LL today, maybe focus on...

Re: LL 100

Every time a friend or acquaintance forfeits, I'm happy to find out it was a story like this, and not a sudden illness or something.

Re: Friday, March 8, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

The clue subjects were largely about straight, White, male and non Jewish people. The clue writers did a better job of highlighting 13 letter words than highlighting minorities. Wondering why the 92nd Street Y has a category on it is not antisemitism. If you describe: Emma Lazarus Elie Wiesel Pablo...

I'm having trouble thinking of a reason for him to bet it all there.

Re: LL 100

Well, I got slaughtered yesterday by Amy Schneider. She ran the board and I only got two right (Gadsden and Neptune). Cowboy Bebop: WTF? At least I'd heard of my other wrong answers. :D I didn't even realize she was in our rundle until this season. Played her in LL99 without even realizing. I guess...

I think I would have gotten this based on the 'only arrow in my quiver' scenario, but the LL/J! synchronicity sure didn't hurt.

Re: LL 100

Over the years I've caught myself almost putting the 3 where the 0 is supposed to go and vice versa (is there a term for this kind of synapse misfire?). I think this may have happened to my opponent. The risk of this happening is increased when you're playing one match straight up and your other ma...

That’s the kind of thinking that got me a D in Differential Equations.

Anybody else go with mumbly-peg without the t? Thoughts?

There’s also ‘diptych’, which I’ve always enjoyed since it sounds vaguely like an insult.

Sha’Carri Richardson — yay! I got a sports question! 🤣 (and 3 points) A Current Events question masquerading as a Sports question. I expect a fair number of people (such as me) recalled her name primarily due to her suspension in 2021. And my track-and-field maven opponent (who I wanted to give the...

Actually, Helen Waite is on vacation until after the season. Her assistant, Helen Dye, would be happy to assist you until then.

Super Bowls are like Oscar winners, in that I’m often unsure which year a question is talking about. More precise wording would be helpful.
