Joey Russ 7,226 Posted May 31, 2021 Just a heads up, I probably won’t be able to get the Masterlist up right at the usual time due to my schedule. However, the deadline is still the same time as usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,443 Posted May 31, 2021 My lambs to the slaughter are also in, with added best of luck in the future to Caleb (unless he gets 2 uniques in the next 2 hours of course...) What's the Squonk record again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,226 Posted June 1, 2021 Damn, a hit already? This is the classic quick cup hits I remember from the good old days. Anyways, Reptile takes the lead against Banana, but the month is very young... Spade_Cooley vs msc 0 - 0 Gcreptile vs Banana 4 - 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted June 1, 2021 Well, from here on, I can only go down... I find it kind of funny, that you can research your ass off, trying to get an advantage, and then, three out of four teams have such a totally obscure name such as Ujwal Thapa, or Carl Bean.

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 1, 2021 On the other hand, I'd like to thank India for being such great hosts for this edition of the cup. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted June 1, 2021 3 hours ago, Perhaps said: Mufti Faizul Waheed dead. https://thechenabtimes.com/2021/06/01/renowned-islamic-scholar-mufti-faiz-ul-waheed-passes-away-at-jammu-hospital/ By the way, this link says he died at 7:30 am local time: https://www.thekashmirmonitor.net/mufti-faiz-ul-waheed-passes-away/ Jammu is 4 1/2 hours ahead of London, so he died at 3:00 am game time. I always wondered how the time zone problem would work, but here, it's all good anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,226 Posted June 1, 2021 Yep. That’s msc captain, which means he actually gets a 6 point lead against Spade. Meanwhile, Banana and Reptile both had him, so the tie remains effectively the same. Spade_Cooley vs msc 0 - 6 Gcreptile vs Banana 7 - 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,226 Posted June 2, 2021 Y’all really are the grim reapers, aren’t you? Matthews was a hit everybody had, so he has no effect on any ties. Nacho Laun on the other hand was picked by Banana and Spade, who do get a bit of a comeback right now. Perhaps this might be the most eventful cup yet...

gcreptile 10,970 Posted June 2, 2021 I really hate to be "that guy" but Banana should have nine points? Yeah, 4 hits in a day, probably a record. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr_T 254 Posted June 3, 2021 When I looked through the list I though to myself that I wouldn't like to be Bunny Matthews. No surprise he lasted 2 days around this talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
