#LearnedLeague #LL108 has concluded. The season started off a little rocky, but then got a little better. I ended up 7th place in my rundle. Placed in 6th the season before. 🦙

Even though I started stronger than I ended, I think this might be my best #LearnedLeague season yet. Essentially, I won more matches than I didn't! (13W, 5L, 7T). I am so happy with myself.

#LearnedLeague #LL108 MD25 thread. I come to the end of another season - one that started with so much promise, but that will end the same as every three-digit season so far: with a losing record. Factfueling with four COOKIES and a few last fleeting moments (for now) in the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

#LearnedLeague #LL108 MD24 thread. My Recappee Gauntlet continues as I play Tiger Trivia Institute Board Games Director @awaygames.bsky.social in a crucial match that we both really need to win! Factfueling off the coast of Bridgetown, Barbados.

There was an eel history question in #LearnedLeague yesterday and while I think I would’ve known it anyway, following @greenleejw.bsky.social made it a slam dunk

Well, this is nice. With two matches still to play, I'm already guaranteed to stay in B for LL109. And I've broken my record for total correct answers in a season, having picked up four 6s along the way. What a season!

I'm a couple days late, but I can't believe I got another (actual!) beer on MD21 of #LearnedLeague. 🍻 I know I haven't been posting much about #LL108. Just so much stress going on, I'm feeling overwhelmed and social media is no place I want to be when I feel this way.

#LearnedLeague #LL108 MD23 thread. The Recapper onslaught continues, as today I play MathiasC! This is why I tried to get my points earlier, because I knew this stretch would happen. That's okay, because today I am Factfueling from the Nature Island of Dominica, after relaxing at the Emerald Pool.

#learnedleague hits a little different when I already qualified for postseason and I can't make it to 1st place because one guy is so consistently good at it.

Man, this sure is the season of talking myself out of right answers. 😞 #LearnedLeague #LL108

#LearnedLeague #LL108 MD19 thread. I sit only three points below LLRC qualification, the closest I've been at this stage since LL99, when I finished an agonizing fourth (back when the top three qualified.) Factfueling with All! Nine! COOKIES!!! and nothing else, for the Dogtown Throwdown with HuppD.

#LearnedLeague #LL108 MD18 thread. If I win this match today, I am pretty much guaranteed safety. Not mathematically, but I would be 7 above that line with 7 matched left. Factfueling with COOKIES only worked yesterday, so let's try it again in this must-win projected win relegation four-pointer.

It didn't change the outcome of the match, but I'm still annoyed that I talked myself out of *another* correct response yesterday (Q2).
#LearnedLeague #LL108

I mean, I was very happy with myself to get my first beer in a couple seasons of #LearnedLeague for MD14. I had a tiring day yesterday. But my opponent forfeited the match anyway.

An excerpt from today's front page of LearnedLeague, showing that I have, YET AGAIN, lost to ApostolM, YET AGAIN with more correct answers but fewer points scored on them, because OMFG I CANNOT WIN AGAINST HER FOR ANYTHING.
