I have clinched 1st place in my rundle, so back to the slaughterhouse that is A.

You can just take tomorrow off, or least leave all your answers blank. Pretty sure we're playing each other.

Alas, no can do. I think that's how Tom Kelso got kicked out.

For the record and just to be clear, I was kidding....

I did not, for a second, think otherwise.

Don't forget BWA voting, people! There are some good ones.

If I vote, do I get a sticker?

I'll need some luck to finish in the top three in A Fjord. Right now I'm sitting in fifth, but there are four of us tied with 30 points and I'm currently third of those four in MPD, which is the first tie-breaker.

I am stuck in D (where I belong) for another season no matter what happens today. I can move up at least one spot with a win, so that’s something.

It looks like the matchups may be in your favor there, but one never knows. Best of luck!

Thus concludes what has been one of the weirdest seasons I've ever had. I've been firmly mired in the middle of my rundle all season, despite being a leader in TCA and having one of the better DEs. I do have the third-highest TCA in my rundle, but otherwise it looks like a pretty normal season except for my standing. I'll have to see where I end up on the Luckiest/Unluckiest LLamas list.

Ooh, that reminded me ... I never did check on just how unlucky I was last season. The answer was: 59th overall.

Can you share a link so I can see the nominees? I never can find it....

You have to be on the second tier to get to vote. Cheapskates like us can’t see them.

It can be found on each season's History/Awards page, but you have to click through like 3 links to get to the full list. This will be LL98's link, once the winners are announced. Change the number to see earlier seasons.

Thanks. I feel like I used to be able to see the slate before awards, but maybe I'm imagining things.

No, I think it was that way previously, but it changed a few years ago. You can still see them on individual question pages though. (Even for non-members!)

I was underwhelmed by the first half of the season, but found plenty of good ones in the second half. I especially recommend MD18Q1 and MD22Q2.

Yeah, I really like the first "I'm ____ My ____ Died" BWA. I also like the football HoFer who played the position of

I have not been in learned league all that long, but I'll need to look this one up, because I have to be on the lucky list. I'm second to last in TCA in my rundle for players that have not forfeited. I have the lowest TPA of anyone in the rundle. There are only three players within 10 points of me. I'm currently in third with a real chance of promotion, and if I hit the A rundle. That stay will be very short. I should not be anywhere close to that level.

[Volante]

With a win Monday, and at least one of the three people above me losing, I'll have clawed my way out of relegation. Has to be a win, not a tie, my MPD is just terrible. Still leading CAA...

I mathed wrong, I needed two to lose, out of three, bad odds. Back to B...

AND I lost my hypothetical CAA trophy on the last day as well.

[StevenH]

I was pretty lucky this season and finished 13th out of 36 in my rundle, so I will be staying in C. The questions played tough for me through the first 11 MDs, but I was lucky in terms of CAA and was never really in danger of relegation. But the last 14 MDs played easy by my standards, as I had at least three questions correct on 13 out of those 14 (but had exactly 3 questions correct on eight of those MDs).

Well, so close. I ended up fourth just one point in MPD behind the person in third. At least I gave it my best with a six-pack on MD25. Gotta say I thought way more people would know the Spingarn Medal is something given to African Americans. Only 15% got it right (although all but two in my player tracker).

[SBurrus]

I did claim the Dawkins trophy in Foundry for LL98 and finished tied for 12th overall in MCW out of all players in LL.
