I don't get anything for a pair in this game do I ? I will allow you to replace one of your Brucies, but if he dies you will receive double points for whichever one you choose to keep. I will also give you a 1 point penalty. New scores! =1st - Death Impends - 0 points =1st - Magere Hein - 0 points =1st - Toast - 0 points 4th - Deathray - 5 points =5th - Bibliogryphon - 6 points =5th - CaptainChorizo - 6 points 7th - Garn2 - 7 points 8th - maryportfuncity - 10 points 9th - the_engineer - 11 points 10th - The Dead Cow - 13 points 11th - Book - 17 points 12th - msc - 23 points 13th - Dr_T - 34 points I've just noticed I listed 25 but put brucie up twice . Hence the reason there are 2 number 2 picks. All that is needed is too delete the brucie in 2) and good to go. Have I just mistook my own mistake? You have indeed.
