Finland, though not sure it's a massacre yet: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/finland-terror-attack-several-people-11010652

Is it totally impossible that the real perpetrators of these attacks are Hallmark, Interflora and balloon manufacturers?

Stirling is a beautiful campus and its tranquility may help a Philosophy student! One of my friends has just graduated from there and sadly is on his way to London where the jobs are for him. Have a superb time. -

I'd say get the paramedics out to check you over. Straight away. Safe than sorry.

Do you have someone with you to get assistance?

It's a discussion, not an argument, for the game runner will decide all anyway. We can put our counter-arguments effectively here. It's true that the Drop 40 bonus doesn't help much, which is why it should be increased to an additional 10 points, ha ha! If you can't have a game runner checking and re-checking entries to decide whether someone qualifies under some sort of ban on certain picks, then you need something that effectively dissuades people from that sort of pick. If you do away with the Drop 40, the only alternative is to deduct say 5 points when a certain person dies based on some sort of rule about cancer/terminal nobodies. That might be a problem for the website and how calculations are made. I'd argue picking someone who is famous for something, anything, who may die should be rewarded over someone who will definitely die who never did anything in their life apart from getting ill and getting a "compassionate" write-up from the press.
-
Because cancer nobodies are disproportionately rewarded for having no celebrity status whatsoever. "Look, I found this 18 year old dame who will definitely die this year! She's from Huddersfield and has two kids and once had her picture taken with Wayne Rooney! Mirror Obit guaranteed!" Why you should be rewarded for that type of pick escapes me.
-
Yikes. I'd say nobodies with cancer reduce the quality of a team right off the bat. The Drop 40 didn't even enter my head when selecting my team. Additionally, popular picks don't always equate to popular deceased, however they are more likely to obit. Depends how you view the competition. Is it: 1. Win by selecting carefully chosen celebrities that no-one else might have picked? 2. Win by selecting the picks that everyone else might pick, thus gaining the likelihood of drawing most of your competitors' picks? 3. Win at all costs, how dare other people get lucky with their selections? 4. Take part and mourn/cheer as appropriate the selections you make? Not everyone's in it to win. But it's a bit rich for the more successful participants to want rule changes that actually make it more difficult for others to win, just because they "do a lot of hard work" with their picks.

If the game didn't start until the 10th and Campbell died on the 8th, why is he a hit?

I'm guessing Brokenshire won't be far behind....

Previous leaders have taken a philosophical approach, in that a lead at this stage is nothing. DI has tumbled from a commanding position, msc remains clawing and clinging to the top 5. Widow's Peak could conceivably draw level with Joey Russ if JR has no more hits and WP hits only 4 in late November/early December. And loads have their valuable Wildcards to play.... It all depends who stalls, who goes, and when. This just ain't over until it's over.
