Banana 859 Posted May 3, 2021 If it helps at all, Litsa Menounos was 65. She would've been 66 this year if my notes are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe there's a year difference or so? Though I think we've got a general idea of her age in any case, let's hope that 1 point doesn't matter in the end.

gcreptile 10,964 Posted May 4, 2021 Alright, let's go for an update before I forget that André Maranne died and he already did so in April. There were also Anne Buydens and Litsa Menounos. But that's it! Some pretty quiet two weeks: Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

markb4 892 Posted May 12, 2021 Norman Lloyd is a hit for a few of us here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted May 31, 2021 Another small update, it seems we picked the wrong ones lately. Still, the one big change is at the top, where JoeyRuss passes Cpt. Chorizo because of the pick of Rachel Zoll. So we have a new leader! There was also popular pick Norman Lloyd. And strangely, that seems to be it! Two hits in 4 weeks! The biggest drought this pool has ever seen. Or did I miss anyone? But before I show the scoreboard, I want to remind you that the replacement period is on July 1st, in one month! You can replace five current names on your team by five new ones on that day. I will also replace two members of my team on the day before, as a reminder for you and a small benefit for me, the host.. I will choose two widely known names that can be expected to be on everyone's subs bench anyway. Don't feel obliged to pick my names. Last year, Derek Draper and Alessandro Zanardi - that was a bust.... And you don't need to replace anyone if you don't want to. Anyway, here are the scores: Rank Team Score 1 JoeyRuss 836 2 Cpt. Chorizo 835 3 Salmon Mousse 748 4 gcreptile 729 5 Banana 659 6 Death Impends 646 7 An Fear Beag 526 8 Book 460 9 drol 451 10 DevonDeathTrip 437 11 Wormfarmer 436 12 msc 435 13 theoldlady 396 14 Lynchian 364 15 The Unknown Man 316 16 The Daredevil 291 17 The Quim Reaper 290 18 Kenny 261 19 Annami 257 20 Joe Moneypenny 253 21 The Old Crem 247 22 chilean way 223 23 Baby Blue 220 24 markb4 205 25 Etushipushingupdaisies 190 26 Yorkshire Banker 183 27 Sean 165 28 Grand Uncle Bulgaria 160 29 mr.whit 156 30 Charles De Gaulle 119 31 Bibliogryphon 93 32 Gooseberry Crumble 75 33 etib80 68 34 Toast 53 35 Guyfromfuture 33 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the past it was made clear that they would not be allowed to be swapped out.

gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 14, 2021 Indeed, no swapping out of dead people - I thought I had written that in the rules...will be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 20, 2021 Alright, new update....mostly to say: Don't forget, the replacement period is coming up soon! After three more weeks, the game hasn't really picked up in speed. Yoo Sang-Chul was a very popular pick. Noel Conway a unique hit for Sean. Dingko Singh a clever hit for two teams. And that seems to be it! Rank Team Score 1 JoeyRuss 907 2 Cpt.

gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 30, 2021 Alright, just two new hits in the last days, Jon Hassell for me and Enrique Bolanos for the crafty Salmon Mousse - who is so close to the top he can taste it: Rank Team Score 1 JoeyRuss 907 2 Cpt.

gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 30, 2021 But the main attention goes to me, opening up the replacement period. As an example, I will now exchange two (living) names on my team with two new ones. As the host, my new names will be two widely known names who can be expected to be picked frequently by others as well. So I drop: Suzy Friton Constantino Chiwenga And replace them with: Deborah James (Bowelbabe) James Michael Tyler. You may now also replace up to five names on your team, and you may do so until the end of tomorrow GMT. You can replace a bad joker, but not pick a new one by the way. You cannot replace dead but non-obiting people. Neither can I .... :sigh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
