Too many players decided not to mess with my Tutu. An error of judgement by most as the Archbishop has gone to meet the guy who wrote the book.

 

An unique for Bibliogryphon, he plays a Black Joker so gains the additional 50 Points bonus. @Bibliogryphon, you have 48 hours to convert your Joker for even more pointage.

If you think I've missed someone, let me know. This pool is, like so many names, in its dying days.

Can I achieve having the first and last hit in this game?

Probably not. Days to go mind.

 

Baby Blue gets an unique hit with John Madden, for some reason only heard of by me by scanning the gaming shelves, apparently he did other things.

 

Bonuses:

 

Pair Ks - 10 Points; Two Pair - Ks and 3s - 15 Points - Total: 25 Additional Points.

Site is running slow due to number of guests, I'm guessing.

 

I'm going to have my dinner at last, and hopefully when I come back, I'll updated for Betty White's full stop to 2021.

Just a reminder - this game will formally close by close of today.

 

Last chance for you to hunt down those elusive QO's.

The bell hath tolled twelve.

 

And so ends another six months of Casino enjoyment.  Early on in the game it did look very much like the rookies were taking over the asylum, especially Baby Blue who was having an extraordinary start, only to throw his team solidly into reverse gear. And then the usual suspects began clambering towards the top of the list, this time joined by a perennial player who interloped into a podium position, but more of that later. 

 

As folk trundle off towards the stadia of the Deathlist Cup and wallow in the warm glow of their early DDP hits, it falls to me to wipe down the tables and the staff for another year. The final table follows, with entrants from the 2020 competition's position and points shown in brackets after your total for this year. The record points total of 2000 still remains unbreached:

 

1st: Captain Chorizo - 1594 Points (=12th; 808)

2nd: gcreptile - 1521 Points (9th; 958)

3rd: Perhaps - 1486 Points (1st; 1408)

4th: Death Impends - 1350 Points (3rd; 1244)

5th: An Fear Beag - 1062 Points (5th; 1240)

6th: theoldlady - 1034 Points (14th; 803)

7th: Grim Up North - 1018 Points (6th; 1086)

8th: msc - 1012 Points (7th; 996)

9th: Salmon Mousse - 996 Points

10th: Joey Russ - 960 Points (4th; 1241)

11th: Banana - 939 Points (=12th; 808)

So we congratulate our victor and second time champion Captain Chorizo! Let joy be unconfined! Podium being filled out by gcreptile and last year's champ Perhaps. Special mentions thrown out to theoldlady who has seemingly got the hang of this and consistently improved her position year on year, and to Bibliogryphon who, by sticking with some old favourites saw many of them fall!

 

Our Hall of Fame now reads as follows:

 

2017 - Death Impends

2018 - Death Impends

2019 - Captain Chorizo

2020 - Perhaps

2021 - Captain Chorizo

 

And now to the Hall of Shame prize. This goes normally to the player who has essentially cut their own throat from winning the competition, either through non-obiting picks or just unfortunate play. I have come to the conclusion that this must, this year, go to gcreptile. There is no doubt that a brave couple of picks who simply didn't obit anywhere (including a Joker pick) cost gcreptile the championship, but also the early conversion of a Joker might have been a shrewd move - but as it turned out, maybe waiting a bit might have gained those Full Houses which never came to pass.

 

Extraordinarily, as gcreptile DID achieve a podium place, I am willing not to place his portrait in the gents, but rather hang it above the entrance to the Players' Room as a reminder that sometimes patience and picking nailed on obiting picks may achieve more.

 

Hall of Shame

 

2017 - Joey Russ

2018 - Joey Russ

2019 - Sir Creep

2020 - Guy From Future & msc

2021 - gcreptile

 

I'd like to extend my thanks to all players past and present for indulging in this game, and hope you've enjoyed it.

 

Let us see where we are come June and maybe, just maybe, I can sit in that comfy manager's chair once again.

Oh, I definitely deserve that place in the Hall of Shame. I only have myself to blame. I had the better deck and didn't use it.

Still, Cpt. Chorizo also got my number of hits, so skill-wise it's a tie, and what can I say, he outsmarted me by not being so terribly stupid with that joker. I was smug and thought that there will definitely be at least one full house in my deck, alas...

Still, your best performance to date. I was sure Chaudhri wouldn't obit, but she did. But James Michael Tyler and Dilip Kumar on the subs bench? Just so near, everything seemed to just hold you back, with that deck it could have been a massive score.

 

You have shown yourself to be a threat in the future, putting yourself well among the big hitters - and hey you did win a heck of a lot of pools last year.

I mean, with 9 wins in the HOF in 5 years or so, the rest of us are probably lucky Reptile hasn't just swept the board yet! 

 

I missed the Hall of Shame before, and that I'd have won last years if not for 3 LOTLs. That's funny.

 

More important, congrates to the Captain.

Well done CC and thanks YW for running.

Thanks for hosting Wilz

 

And condolences Reptile :hatsoff: Stunned that Belinda Sykes never got a QO.      Goes to show that sometimes to win you  might need a lucky break/someone else to have an unlucky one.

I am afraid it won't.

 

Unless someone wants to take it on, it's going into liquidation. Sorry.

I have decided to view the end of this pool under your brilliant stewardship  not as a liquidation  but as a frozen embryo in a fertility  clinic.  On pause with no definite date  or plan but hope, promise and potential  theoretically  kept alive for future possibilities!
