En Passant 3,743 Posted December 31, 2020 14 minutes ago, maryportfuncity said: So, 38 teams already listed - I'm throwing the above on the mercy of the assembled masses here. Entered post-midnight so technically too late What's the consensus from the 38 who got their line ups in on time? 38? There goes my podium.... The more the merrier then, cause if there's 39 it's one more chance of not being last, and if I'm last anyway, well last is last it'll make no difference if that's of 38 or 39. Tis the season to be jolly after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had this game started on Christmas day, I'd be on the verge of victory by now. And I couldn't find enough decent names to replace them. I'm fully expecting Floyd Little, Dai Davies and Carlos Menem to all die at about 11.30 tonight. Since there's nowt to lose by outing this now you had Shurtlif as a unique Deathrace pick AFB. That said, your top sub is in play and also a unique pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always happy to see new faces, even if they cant read the fucking rules. Speaking of which, given his obviously long track record on here, I would also throw Drol a bone and give him/her an hour to chuck in a team. The game hasn't actually started yet, so I would make an exception in this instance. In all fairness, I struggled multiple times trying to find the deadline time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted December 31, 2020 Just now, Banana said: In all fairness, I struggled multiple times trying to find the deadline time Rule three - and I'd say this conversation on the thread will likely deter anyone else from rolling up late, now. I wasn't monitoring the thread at midnight and Mr Whit's team were showing "7 hours ago" just after 8 this morning, so were probably late. Anyone else even attempting entry now is just taking the piss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted December 31, 2020 Reet Masterlist done - 39 teams in total in there, a few with default jokers (i.e. didn't identify one so the rule about top name on the list was invoked) A few of us will be delighted to know that Grace Victory is - apparently - responding well to treatment atm 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm There's such a tonnage of obscure names on the masterlist I'm assuming an avalanche of early 2021 death. Whale likely has weeks, possibly months before he's nailed-on. DDP fodder for sure and I'm guessing a shoo-in for Drop 40 status Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted December 31, 2020 So, almost ready I'll out redrumours at this point for being the only one to pick Tommy Docherty, I went to his subs bench (two names) but couldn't rouse Pierre Cardin to warm up, let alone play So his only remaining option takes the field Other than that everything is working as I log off. Masterlist up as soon as my head clears in the morning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 1, 2021 Reet - masterlist deployed As usual, first questions are how many of these (particularly the utter obscurities) didn't even make the start line and did I make a last minute mistake anywhere by way of missing a joker, wrongly allocating you a pick etc.? I've got all the teams ripped and saved to double check Then - let the wholesale loss of life and rapid abundance of scoring commence - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
