    With just under 3 days to go, we are not up to the grand total of 46 players. With a little luck, and a last minute flurry, we can hopefully hit the magical target of 60 teams. 

    So far, I have not received teams form the following who played last year - a gentle reminder to you all to get your team in before midnight on Sunday.

    Ill and reportedly uncontactable by his team.

    As a Russian, I'm so worried about him and I'm unable to save him. If he dies, I promise, I'd do anything to ressurect him, even if it means ripping half of the universe apart.

    Awarded by default since you didn't respond in time but he IS your joker. Hell - amongst others - who didn't respond re Pele was awarded with the ex-Pope as joker and currently sits atop the leader board with a few others. Have a hunch a frenzy of fatality will allow this race to live up to the fast, furious, f'king good fun billing I put on it every year. 

     

    See you next year - be safe tonight, and if you can't be safe, be obitable!  :D

    I've actually DM'd you a day ago.

    Masterlist adjusted for Pele's death. My bad NINE jokers to replace (including mine), along with plenty other teams packing Pele. Every competing team up to full strength

     

    Currently five teams jokerless - I'll give them until the deadline to submit a new joker from the original 20 selections - if I don't hear back then the default is the joker rule (i.e. a jokerless team has the top - as in nearest the first place in the list -surviving pick as their joker)

     

    No pressure or owt but if you're below - you have a day to nominate a new joker

    Always, never ask!

    I hope you're doing well.

    I'm fine. I'm just doomscrolling the news about the war via Telegram all the time. Putin would kill thousands to stay in power.

    The second reason is my family. Because of my constant doomscrolling, I can't find a job (I'm 22), and my younger sister has taken my phone away from me to pressure me into finding one. My parents have welcomed this decision. And the two ways I can access this forum  are 4G on my phone and VPN on my laptop. I have multiple VPN clients on my laptop. Psiphon makes this forum accessible, but is working too slow.  Censortracker (Chrome add-on) is quicker, but doesn't allow me to access the forum. This is one of the rare occasions when I can get my hands on my phone. Hopefully, Putin will be deposed soon, and I'll no longer have a reason to be such a pathetic 'basement dweller' and a slacker.
