One for the List of the Missed. He would’ve gotten a QO too

That’s not for the DDP, that’s a rule for Windy City.

I think you’re confusing her daughter’s fame in the article. I see nothing where it mentions what Litsa’s career is.

Mind you, even though Litsa qualifies as a pick, if her career isn’t mentioned in one of the QO sources then she doesn’t score.

Is the Windy City Masterlist being posted anytime soon?

However, El Pais is very much a reliable source which, as you can see on the front page, is an acceptable obit. Oh dear, this is turning into another round of a landslide victory in every match, isn’t it? maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 12 Banana vs deadsox 16 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 14 CalebH vs msc 0 - 6

It was the newsbeezer that counted rather than the wepublishnews one. Yeah, that site is definitely dodgy and won’t count for cup purposes

Well that does count as a QO. Er, deadsox, you might want to look away from the scoreboard now... maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 12 Banana vs deadsox 16 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 10 CalebH vs msc 0 - 6

I’m definitely aware that Carlos Griguol is dead, although I haven’t found a suitable QO yet...

Yep, it’s officially the Banana and Spade show this month. Who knows if that’ll change this round. Although at this point I’m already giving my condolences to deadsox and maryport who never seem to have stood a chance... maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 12 Banana vs deadsox 13 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 10 CalebH vs msc 0 - 3

Wow. Tell me about this disease know as Adis. It seems frightening

There hasn’t been a QO yet but surely this is becoming the Spade and Banana show right now...

That gives you a unique hit against Chorizo. Lots of early hits, but will the tides end up changing later in the month? We’ll see, but for now, here’s the standings: maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 9 Banana vs deadsox 6 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 10 CalebH vs msc 0 - 3

Given The Daredevil was a massive Andre Marianne fanboy, that might be him...

What’s that? Another classic cup pick of Indian politicians? Well what do I know. Spade and Banana score a few points, and I’m slowly starting to think I might have to give maryport my condolences for this round: maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 9 Banana vs deadsox 6 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 6 CalebH vs msc 0 - 3

Litsa Menounos is definitely a very fringey person. Basically now that FFBI are officially banned from the DDP I basically went the route of if they’re famous enough there, then they are also famous enough here. Of course, cases not in the DDP are still viewed under discretion, but that’s beside the point. Four cup pickers had her on their squad, with Chorizo gaining joker points as well. Msc is leading now in his tie as is Spade and Chorizo Then there’s one of those classic cup picks, Indian politicians. Perhaps noted his death hoax in this thread but only three competitors ended up picking him. Reptile is in the lead thanks two having 2 hits compared with Chorizo’s one, whereas Banana takes the lead in his tie and Spade expands his even more against Maryport. He’s already up 6, and with another one of his picks dead but yet to get a QO it may soon be 10... maryportfuncity vs Spade_Cooley 0 - 6 Banana vs deadsox 3 - 0 CaptainChorizo vs Gcreptile 6 - 6 CalebH vs msc 0 - 3

Right, here’s my very unoriginal Windy City lineup. David Gulpilil Kat Bjelland Bob Dole Vic Elford Rick Laird Antonio Inoki F W De Klerk Susie Steiner Ally McLaws Larry Pressler Reuven Bulka Terry Lubbock BJ Thomas Jeanette Lee James Whale Sarah Harding Jeffrey Foskett Tom Weiskopf Miguel Van Damme Pat Martino Alan Dean Foster Subs Gary Burgess Tim Bilton Hannah Wants Maria Farmer Ady Barkan

Oh, and the semifinal draw, here it is: maryportfuncity or Spade_Cooley vs CalebH or msc CaptainChorizo or Gcreptile vs Banana or deadsox

Right, here’s the quarterfinals Masterlist: K R Gouri Amma - Banana, Spade Jack Arends - maryport Jason Becker - maryport Jana Bennett - deadsox Kat Bjelland - maryport, CalebH, Reptile, Chorizo, msc*, Banana, Spade, deadsox Elisabeta Bostan - CalebH Abdelaziz Bouteflika - maryport* Lawrence Brooks - deadsox Reuven Bulka - Chorizo Jerry Cain - deadsox* Cassiano - Reptile Hemen Das - Banana Leo De Lyon - Chorizo Bob Dole - Chorizo, msc, deadsox Vic Elford - maryport Rodolfo Garcia - Banana Ed Grant - Banana, Spade Carlos Griguol - msc, Banana David Gulpilil - maryport, Reptile, Chorizo, deadsox Sabbam Hari - Banana, Spade John Hemingway - maryport Ion Illiescu - CalebH Antonio Inoki - Chorizo Jyrki Kasvi - maryport, Chorizo, msc, deadsox Tim Keller - deadsox Mildred Kornman - CalebH Rick Laird - Reptile, Chorizo, msc, deadsox Rainer Langhans - CalebH Angela Lansbury - CalebH Terry Lubbock - Reptile*, Chorizo, msc, Spade Bunny Matthews - Banana*, Spade* Yehuda Meshi-Zahav - msc Litsa Menounos - Reptile, Chorizo*, msc, Spade Maire Mhac an tSaoi - CalebH Philipp Mickenbecker - Reptile Princess Mikasa - CalebH Isidore Mvouba - msc Leonor Oyarzun - CalebH Som Parkash - Banana P Balakrishna Pillai - Reptile, Banana, Spade Albert Raboteau - Reptile, msc, deadsox Lucille Radon - deadsox Mela Raghu - Reptile Anamika Saha - Banana Gary Shiebler - Spade Tom Smith - maryport Walter Smith - maryport Dave Sophia - Spade Mihai Sora - CalebH* Susie Steiner - Reptile, Chorizo, msc Kane Tanaka - maryport Horacio Verbitsky - Spade Rembert Weakland - CalebH

I’m honestly a bit hesitant to count it

You were the last one I was waiting for at this point. Yep, that’s right. Very uncharacteristically everybody projected to advance has a submitted a team with 2 and a half hours to go. This might be a first in cup history...

That’ll set you up to move on to round 3 rather than dealing with a coin flip. I’ll admit I haven’t really set in one up even though I should’ve... DevonDeathTrip vs CaptainChorizo 0 - 6 Spade_Cooley vs Clorox Bleachman 15 - 6 Perhaps vs Gcreptile 9 - 10 msc vs Book 13 - 9 Banana vs alt obits guy 11 - 7 maryportfuncity vs Bibliogryphon 4 - 0 Quim Reaper vs deadsox 0 - 7 DeathByArsenic vs CalebH 0 - 4

Tomorrow at midnight UK time as per usual

Got Paper Mario Origami King for my birthday, and am playing it now. Interesting story thus far

I’ll admit I was basically trying to bait him to reveal his true colors even more. I did report one of his posts too. Glad that I did something meaningful today.
