Right, there is under 96 hours to submit a team for the cup, and currently this is how the submitted cup teams look like for round 2: The Old Crem or YorkshireBanker vs Sir Creep Grobler vs msc Djemba Djemba or JoeMoneyPenny vs alt obits guy Theoldlady vs deadsox Perhaps vs ThereWillBeDeaths7 or GuyFromFuture Book vs An Fear Beag Markb4 or Charles De Gaulle vs maryportfuncity Quim Reaper vs Wormfarmer HDS vs Clorox Bleachman DeathByArsenic vs Joey Russ DevonDeathTrip vs Annami Gcreptile vs Baby Blue or CalebH BuffaloPhil or nantonian2013 vs CaptainChorizo Banana vs GreatUncleBulgaria or Gooseberry Crumble Spade_Cooley vs Grim Up North Bibliogryphon vs EtushIsPushingUpTheDaisies Yes, one round will actually go as planned for round 2 so far. Also while a bunch of teams obviously are waiting for last minute hopefully this time we don’t have to deal with the do not submit teams like we did last time. Including one fucking twat that’s permanently gone now. Anyways, get your teams in the next few days...

Of course all these hospice names show up after I have to submit my team. Yay hosting duties...

Yoko Ono

He’s probably dead within 24 hours, don’t really think he’ll be close to cup pickings at all...

That was my joker for the cup. Have no idea which person to pick as joker now tbh...

Welp, there goes me being the only team who submitted a team thus far and thus being the winner by default. RIP For everyone else, you still have about a week to submit a team in, so please prepare to send something in.

What? You’re saying that somebody who cheered every time a gay man died of AIDS during the 1980s among other things deserves to be massively ridiculed? I’m shocked, really...

FFBI was actually barred since the second year it was around. And yeah, everything I can tell by this person is that they are FFBI

Not here to report a hit, but ATM Shamsuzzaman was a pick for me last year that I ended up dropping this time

Without You - Badfinger Can You Get To That - Funkadelic Dear Prudence - The Beatles

Right, I have sent my team over to msc for safekeeping, which now means entries for round 2 has opened up. Good luck everyone.

Can confirm someone tried to pick him, but I determined he wasn't famous enough

Well, Rush Limbaugh beat Swayze as he got 43 hits. However, he was still a few hits below what Etta James got...

Indeed, seem like a lot of the most popular picks are Rushing out of here right now. And I also have to Rush my team in tomorrow before I start accepting March entries for the cup. Feck me. So, who all pick this piece of shit this time in the cup? Well, Gooseberry Crumble finally picks up his first points for the cup. However, that doesn’t really matter as Limbaugh was also Great Uncle Bulgaria’s joker, really setting him up to go against Banana, who’s a definite force to be reckoned with. Limbaugh is an important hit for two matches however. First, BuffaloPhil gets his second hit of this match, and because he got more hits than nantonian2013, he takes the lead against him. Second, markb4 also had Rush Limbaugh and effectively ties against Charles de Gaulle. However, because Rush is younger than Menem, markb4 effectively takes the lead against him! Not something I would’ve guessed going into this round, I’ll admit. In other news, Djemba Djemba and ThereWillBeDeaths7 also score with Rush, and frankly I’d be amazed if either of their opponents were able to come back from that. Make this be a lesson for future forum members, if your name suggests that you have an edge against all competitors, you probably aren’t going very far. In fact, in what might be the biggest irony to date, GuyFromFuture is the only team with no points now! Baby Blue vs CalebH 13 - 9 Djemba Djemba vs JoeMoneyPenny 15 - 3 BuffaloPhil vs nantonian2013 6 - 6 The Old Crem vs YorkshireBanker 3 - 9 Markb4 vs Charles De Gaulle 3 - 3 GreatUncleBulgaria vs Gooseberry Crumble 12 - 3 ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs GuyFromFuture 13 - 0

Hm, oldlady’s game does end a few days before my and Reptile game does so she does have a little less time than the two of us. That said, I don’t think Carter is a bad pick at all...

Somebody must’ve pissed off a bunch of Nigerian fans, he’s currently leading in the fan vote!

Poor DDT, being duped by Iain and losing out in the cup by picking her over Luke Perry...

Shows how reliable she is

Probably the big one that may die soon are the surviving Beatles. But I’m sure if some of the lefty commentators that I’m fond of suddenly pass that’ll hurt very much too.

Again, I think you are underestimating his grip. He’s still beloved by his base. Impeachment proved that with most republicans voting to acquit him. And even the few Republicans who did convict, they are being scrutinized by Republicans within the party. Trump and what he stands for will last a long time, social media or without it. Trust me, I would love for what he did to die down and have our country move on from this, but what time and time again proves is that he is very resilient to almost any sorts of criticism.

Menem menem, dead dead dead dead dead. The former President of Argentina had a lot wrong with him and as such he was a very popular pick in the cup. So popular in fact that all except one tie gets some points. First, CalebH cashes his joker, and as such he’s now one point from overtaking Baby Blue. Well, until you realize they also had him. So far it seems like one Milford Graves is the decider of the match. Just like the DDP potentially. Djemba Djemba was the other joker that round, and he now holds a 9 point lead against Joemoneypenny. Charles De Gaulle scores his first points against markb4, which now has every single tie having at least some points in round. Both Old Crem and Yorkshire had Menem which leaves that match effectively the same score difference. Great Uncle Bulgaria gets a bigger lead against Gooseberry, who predicted the enema would ravage in 2021. Well, it seems like it has, just not necessarily with the members he picked. Oh, and ThereWillBeDeaths7 continues his massive lead over GuyFromFuture. Er, some advice for the latter, you might want to check your time machine to make sure you’re not accidentally sending yourself to February 2021 BC... Baby Blue vs CalebH 13 - 9 Djemba Djemba vs JoeMoneyPenny 12 - 3 BuffaloPhil vs nantonian2013 3 - 6 The Old Crem vs YorkshireBanker 3 - 9 Markb4 vs Charles De Gaulle 0 - 3 GreatUncleBulgaria vs Gooseberry Crumble 6 - 0 ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs GuyFromFuture 10 - 0

Already 31 points behind Spade in mid February, might as well concede now tbh...

Iirc I think years back he wanted to quit the forums and as such edited all posts then because of it. Not what I would’ve done if I ever felt to leave the forum but to each their own

While it’s true it wouldn’t be close without the electoral college, the electoral college doesn’t look like it’ll get removed any time soon. Also, I said that he is almost certain to get renominated, not necessarily win a second term. However, if the dems end up fucking up the next four years in office, then that could easily allow Trump to win a second term. I know a lot of people think that we can move past Trump and any chance of reclaiming the White House due to the shit he’s done, but you can’t really underestimate his chances in the future. He still has his grip on the Republican Party. A second term is definitely plausible in 2024. Don’t think that it isn’t the case.
