Wanted to plug the upcoming HEAVY METAL ML that I contributed to (my first ML!).

Cool! I registered.

Just submitted on Goth and Gothic and Music Theory.

Only missed one on Music Theory which means I wasn’t one of the umpteenth champs or perfect 12s. Just couldn’t come up with the words Secondary Dominant although of course I am very familiar with the concept.

No one else here played Godard except me?

In the run-up zone now.

Into the top 50 of Music Subgenres and got all 12 questions! (And I was just two moneys from a higher percentile.) I expect that's the closest I'll ever come to winning one.

Cool. I just didn’t feel like playing that one.

not sure why i signed up for the metal mini-league; i'm gonna get my ass kicked
― mookieproof, Thursday, 18 January 2024 01:34 (three months ago) link
Ha, me too, but I don’t think I mind that so much.
― Pictish in the Woods (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 January 2024 01:44 (three months ago) link
It's because yall can't resist my wiles.
― Ella Minnow Pea (Leee), Thursday, 18 January 2024 04:57 (three months ago) link
Hah! Almost didn’t see your name!
― Pictish in the Woods (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 January 2024 11:55 (three months ago) link
I created another difficult one. Play at your own risk!
― Pictish in the Woods (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 January 2024 13:15 (three months ago) link
FWIW I would've gotten at most 2 questions in the metal MD1.
― Ella Minnow Pea (Leee), Thursday, 18 January 2024 18:34 (three months ago) link
Heh, been doing this for so long I have a pretty good idea of how many will play and who will do well.

Interesting story about the extinct Celtic language from yesterday’s Metal ML.

Opened with a 9(6) and in first place, only one way to go from here.

Up, up and away?

James, I dismissed that as a bit of cheek at the time and yet after the first week I'm still undefeated! It's been an incredible run of luck with both the questions (my QvH is currently 129, which is pretty unsustainable) and opponents (lowest CAA).
― Selune Gomez (Leee), Saturday, 17 February 2024 15:10 (two months ago) link
nice work, Leee!

Well, I'm in the midst of my regression back to the mean!
Also, my OQL team played Greg's last week, but I wasn't in the lineup. Sorry to miss you!
― Selune Gomez (Leee), Monday, 4 March 2024 18:48 (two months ago) link
good job jaymc getting #1 in the "just audio produced by" one-day. i surprisingly got #11 despite missing a question.

!!!I forgot to check yesterday, but I had a good feeling about my chances.

Meanwhile, I came in 93rd %ile in Butts.

Finished first on the Comedy Bang Bang 1DS, this time shared with 22 (!) others.
Feel like that quiz could've been much harder than it was. A question about a Red Hot Chili Peppers parody song included an audio clip and asked what band the song was parodying. A question about the character of Dabney Coleperson included a photo of Dabney Coleman and said the character's name was "very similar...but with a gender neutral surname." Both questions very gettable without any familiarity with the podcast/TV show, which was slightly annoying because I would've gotten those right even without the extra hints.

i think one of my answers was misscored for that, it says i got andrew lloyd webber wrong but i'm pretty sure i would have gotten it. i'm not going to worry about it for a one-day though, i got another question wrong so i wouldn't have been at the top anyways.
― na (NA), Friday, 26 April 2024 15:16 (one week ago) link
is there a way i can see my answers? i wonder if i had some kind of mental blip
― na (NA), Friday, 26 April 2024 15:17 (one week ago) link
oh i found it. i put "webber" and it was marked wrong. was "lloyd webber" the required answer?
― na (NA), Friday, 26 April 2024 15:18 (one week ago) link
i also found it pretty easy - i haven't listened to the podcast regularly in years, aside from the end-of-year best-ofs, so i expected it to be harder
― na (NA), Friday, 26 April 2024 15:19 (one week ago) link
was "lloyd webber" the required answer?
I assume so. It's a double-barreled surname.
