So my first week back in Diamond League is almost over. I did a bit of work to avoid relegation just now, not too much sweat. I also just looked the top of my cohort. Top scorer is 3.5KXP, second and third about 2.4KPXP. If I had started caring earlier in the week I might could have been up there but I had other fish to fry. Which I believe in French is «J’ai d’autres chat à fouetter.»

Have you tried anything else? Although you might have to pay.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 June 2022 01:53 (one year ago) link
really have difficulty remembering which is which with skjorte, skjørt, kjøle, kjole, and who can forget kjøre
― towards fungal computer (harbl), Monday, 6 June 2022 01:53 (one year ago) link
i should try something else it's just hard because i have too many hobbies to keep up with, i am a jack of all trades and a master of nøne (adhd)

Maybe you should try drops but it might be too easy at this point. Could help you keep those words straight.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 June 2022 01:57 (one year ago) link
maybe i am ok with skjorte because i can hear t-skjorte in my head reminding me that shirt has two syllables and skirt has one.
― towards fungal computer (harbl), Monday, 6 June 2022 01:58 (one year ago) link
i think i am better than most at this type of thing, memorizing the difference between two similar things, because i can come up with these mnemonic devices that make no sense to anyone else. the problem is there is no penalty for not getting it right because i check my answers by clicking the words. if i had to do it in writing with no cheating possible i'd probably learn very quickly. or if i was forced to properly learn the vowel pronunciation.

James Redd finished #1 in the Diamond League 9 times!

But it was an empty victory. My name jam is the Glossika app, hope it’s not just an infatuation.

To go diamond platinum, you have to do it 10 times!I may go for a top 3 diamond this week, just to get my name out there in the league
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 13:54 (one year ago) link
Basically there is but one trick to it.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:29 (one year ago) link
Well two tricks, 1+1.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:30 (one year ago) link
trick to winning the league?
my usual move is to wait to activate the 2x bonus until just before I do the "legendary" 40XP stages
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:32 (one year ago) link
(why do i do this? because i want to learn spanish! haha)
Yes. That is one trick.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:36 (one year ago) link
Reveal the second trick!
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
Which for me has recently been replaced by doing the lighting round, which just recently seems to have started acknowledging the 2X.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
The other trick is a multi-week strategy.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:38 (one year ago) link
Don’t burn yourself out every week.
Don’t say “call the other people in the top 3 and ask them to quit Duolingo”, because although that idea makes a lot of sense I have been ordered by several different jurisdictions to cut that out Xp
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:38 (one year ago) link
Trick two. When the week starts look at the top of the table and see how many crazies there are.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:41 (one year ago) link
Feel like maybe dropping down to Obsidian, or Pearl even, and then coming back or waiting until later on the restart day, I finish on Sunday night and restart on Monday, all might give one a fighting chance of not having to compete against crazybots.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:44 (one year ago) link
Last week there was no above a few thousand points so I went for it. This week there is already somebody with 8KP who shows 16KXP for the week.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
So saving my stuff for a future week. Although I did get a big bonus from a Friend Challenge (new feature) so I racked up a bunch of points just so not as to get relegated.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:52 (one year ago) link
But just chasing points is an empty pursuit and doesn't lead to further understanding, at least based on my anecdotal evidence.
Last week I won with about 4KXP and the other people behind me had 2KXP.
