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. 10 hours ago, msc said: That, and new folk might be persuaded to join in. I too would like to make a few changes to my team. I agree with Toast that a new thread for the game would be easier to deal with. Hopefully more will join! Wonderful you are doing this game again. @Lafaucheuse 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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

Captain Hemlock 748 Posted September 30, 2023 I like the mid-October start date idea. I wasn't sure you were continuing with this until I saw your note yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,586 Posted September 30, 2023 Maybe you should clarify the obit rules first, because that also influences the selection of candidates. Otherwise, I think mid-October is ok, why wait until November? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and do not veto picks because you haven't heard of them "they are not notable enough". (Jeremy Clarke) Let them sink or swim by obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,645 Posted September 30, 2023 Mid October should be fine. I've just got my list made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,066 Posted September 30, 2023 Mid october it will be. Thread will be created tomorrow ! 7 hours ago, Toast said: Yes, and do not veto picks because you haven't heard of them "they are not notable enough". (Jeremy Clarke) Let them sink or swim by obit. 7 hours ago, Book said: Maybe you should clarify the obit rules first, because that also influences the selection of candidates. Otherwise, I think mid-October is ok, why wait until November? Also, to clarify, I’ll add a obit rule but not as restrictive as DDP : won’t be accepted Insta or facebook post or (solely) death certificate from registry office for example. Any official newspaper in any language will be accepted in order to encourage diversity of picks. there will be an « obit watch » category just as for DDP. again Toast, sorry for Jeremy Clarke, that was arbitrary and a mistake. He wouldn’t have make your official list anyway if I remember well but you’re right, obits are more useful here ! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
