MortalCaso 1,630 Posted July 30, 2022 Drum-roll please We have our first duplicate pick! The British soap opera Crossroads was selected by both @Gooseberry Crumble and @Redrumours. The show has now been eliminated from this round and may not be picked. You both must select a new show to submit. I will add out of the 3 entries + 1 sub you both submitted, you had a singular name in common. Interesting tidbit 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,630 Posted July 30, 2022 Clears throat I must say, two duplicates in a row! The American soap opera Falcon Crest was selected by both @Gooseberry Crumble and @MariNisia. The show has now been eliminated from this round and may not be picked. You both must select a new show to submit. Out of the 3 entries + 1 sub you both submitted, you had no names in common. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am now relaxing in the summer house in the back garden , chilling listening to both the mesmerising sound of rain on the window and enjoying a good podcast. Hopefully this has got my mind into a good enough state that the team I have now just sent you doesn't clash with any other teams picked! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I could afford servants I would be more inclined to spend that money on a' sex slave' or valet as some call it to sound more classy- rather than a servant! Summer houses are becoming increasingly popular not just with posh people! It helped preserve my sanity during the covid lockdown! It's not much bigger than an average shed, just a small square room. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,630 Posted August 3, 2022 Entries close August 5th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT). That's a little more than 48 hours from now. We are sitting at 22 entries currently. If you want in the pool, make sure to submit via PM. No telling how long till the next one! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted August 4, 2022 I have submitted a team. I’ll be amazed if anyone has picked the show, but I’m open to surprises! Any problems @MortalCaso, let me know. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hypothetically, if someone sends in a team at 5 minutes to 6 CST, which is a duplicate of one already submitted, but the original entrant is in Europe and already in bed and therefore didn't find out about it until they get up the following day, what would happen?

(As the deadline has passed?) The cut-off is for new people + entries primarily. If there are any duplicates, or issues with the shows/cast selected, that can be resolved after the deadline with no issue. As long as you submitted a team before the starting gun, fair play. My goal is to have a firm cut-off on participants, then spend the next 24 hours making sure everything/everyone followed the rules. In summary, you folks across the pond are fine. Good question! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
