[Captain Hemlock 745]

Mangosuthu Buthelezi didn’t make it. Please replace him with Mitch McConnell on subs list.

[Torva Messor 279]

Mangosuthu Buthelezi's no longer a bench warmer. Please put Shane MacGowan on my substitutes roster, thank you.

[theoldlady 2,306]

@La Faucheusere: Make a list of 20 names + 3 subs who could die between 1st of October 2022 and 1st of October 2023. @Lafaucheuse
 

Are you going to do this game again after this one has been completed? I think it is a good game.

 

[theoldlady 2,306]

9.  Giorgio Napolitano Is a hit for me and perhaps others here as well.

 

@Lafaucheuse If you still want a replacement, please use Joanne Woodward as the 3rd sub. Thank you.

I will fix my posts now.

Red Pimpernell blossoms ! 

 

Abe Jacobs is a solo hit for @CaptainChorizo, Bernadette Chirac in and Zhang Lixiong as sub n°3

 

----------------------------

Giorgio Napolitano is a hit for theoldlady, CaptainChorizo, babyblue and myself 

@theoldlady : Kate Keltie in and Joanne Woodward on sub bench

@CaptainChorizo : Cale Yarborough in and a sub needed 

@BabyBlue : Karin Lesch in and a sub needed

you already chose Whale as sub 2, you still have a sub to choose  

[Lafaucheuse 4,051]

Also, if everyone could take a moment to check his/her list on first page to tell me if I missed some hit I would gladly appreciate it

I will be glad to host the 2023-2024 edition of this pool ! I was thinking of establishing the qualifying obit rule of DDP and other pools here to avoid arbitrary judgements but I don't know how to set this up in order to avoid conflicts betweeen the sub names and the official names in case of a late obit. What do you think ?

Thanks for hosting again!

 

I think that less strict and less exclusionary rules are perfectly fine for this game.

Agree with the obit changes.Will be happy to play again.

Nein Feinstein ! 

 

Dianne Feinstein is a (surprised) solo hit for @Insane (Mel Brooks in) and a miss for @Captain Hemlock, @Toast and I 

 

I'll need a sub everyone  

 

Also @Yvonne : Carter is already in your official list so I'll need another sub instead (not that you'll necessary need it in the two days scale before the end of the game but… you never know !) 

If you wanna keep your list as it is right now for the 2023-2024 edition, then putting a sub for Feinstein and previous hits still is necessary

Do I have Buzz Aldrin in? If not put him as my sub and if I do put The Duke Of Kent

[Captain Hemlock 745]

I didn't realize you were doing this again for 2023-2024. Keep my list the same and add Yoko Ono in place of Di Fi.

 

[Toast 16,151]

We're not just continuing in this thread, are we? A new thread for the new game would be tidier as all the teams and scoring would be on the first page and easy to find.

I'd like to make some changes to my team. 

 

Dianne Feinstein was my no 3 sub, so hardly worth replacing at this late stage, but just in case, Steve McMichael.

That, and new folk might be persuaded to join in.

[Yvonne 361]

I will sub Cleo Laine please
