I wonder if this has happened before, going 3/3 for finding the DD on your first three picks.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 1:52 pmBrayden must have studied the DD heat chart as his first pick in the J! round was a DD. Brayden's first time calling a clue in the DJ! round? DD2. His follow up? DD3. Seek and ye shall find.

Archive playthrough: Coryat $50,600 (55R, 1W) DD 3/3 FJ :mrgreen: Broke 50k for the first time in a regular-play adult game, which I'm going to go ahead and say is in honor of Alex. Not a lot to kick myself over except forgetting the category plus misreading the clue in ACRONYMS $400 and saying "co...

Re: FJs for the 11/2/20 week





I knew as soon as I saw Friday's category I would be denied my second ever 5/5.

Re: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Didn't have any trouble with it, probably because I've spent most of my life in areas where the influx of people from the NE states is constant and often-discussed by the natives. Surprised that James switched his answer. Wonder how often that pans out for anyone. He didn't actually switch. He had ...

I got the ones polling above .500, except for Arkansas, and missed the ones below, except for soccer and the Louvre.

Re: TOC semifinal matchups are up
What tweet was that? Someone has posted a tweet here from James that said that some people didn't play as well as they were going to after hearing about Alex's health. To me a tweet like that makes it less likely for James to have lost, as he wouldn't post a blatant spoiler. Instead I believe he's ...

The string of incredibly easy Finals continues for James. I thought they got considerably harder during the Teachers Tournament. For a balancing data point, I'm 84% on James FJs and was 90% on Teachers'. Here's another data set for comparison, from a much weaker player: I'm 46,9 % during James's ru...

Re: Monday, May 27, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I think it's time to bring back the limit on the number of games played. Sometimes long runs work (Rogers, Jennings), sometimes they don't (Jackson, this one). Other than Nate last week, these games are just plain boooooooooring. I really don't care how much he knows or how many records he sets. Co...

Too bad Alex misheard the last DD bet from James, as it would have been a new one day record otherwise.
