Very belated postnote: LL109 MD25 was the 118th match in my career with no EGOT questions (Television, Pop Music, Film, or Theatre); it was my 31st loss, to go with 62 wins and 25 draws. It was also my fourth loss in a row in such matches, and being relegated on a day with no EGOTs hurts even more.

There are three notes of solace I can take from LL109: my LL-best 100% get rate growth record extends to 42 seasons; I set personal bests for correct answers and total match points the last time I got relegated; and most importantly, my consecutive matches without a forfeit loss now stands at 823.

#LearnedLeague #LL109 MD25 thread. This is it. I have to win and get a lot of help if I am to stay in Rundle A. All I can do is the best that I can in my match. Factfueling with the exact same meal as yesterday's history-making match - including the Dragon's Milk, and only three of the nine COOKIES.

#LearnedLeague #LL109 MD24 thread. I need to win both of my remaining matches to have a shot at avoid relegation. As such, I am Double Factfueling today! First Friday's episode, with the three earned COOKIES that I have not "eaten" yet (I am assuming nine eaten for each day of the cruise last week.)

Postnote: LL109 MD15 was the fourth match in a row that my opponent scored 9(6). This is the first time that has happened to me in my LL career.
In LL105, my last three opponents (MD23-MD25) all scored 9(6). LL105 remains the closest I have come to a winning season since I finished fourth in LL99.

Postnote: LL109 MD13 marked one full season (25 match days) since I last won with a 9(6). The last time that happened was a 27-match stretch from LL96 MD3 to LL97 MD4, when I was in Rundle B.
I had a 26-match run from LL96 MD3 to LL98 MD3 inclusive (skipping LL97), where I went without a 9(6) win.
