@Charles De Gaulle : Eva Marie Saint in at n°5 and Sonny Rollins in at n°3 sub

For those of you who haven't yet, please choose another sub to go at n°3 spot. Also @DeathByArsenic, unless I'm mistaking, you haven't chosen any sub to replace Peter Tobin the other day. Please do so

 

Track and lists updated on the front page, next round opened !

 

Why are you saying "in at no. 9" etc?  I simply submitted my picks in alphabetical order, and am inserting the promoted subs in their alphabetical spots - not the vacated spot.

Hence my promoted sub George Alagiah is no 1, not no 9 as you are saying.

I didn't see anything to suggest there was any significance in the order?

The first sub takes the spot of the hit, whatever spot he’s at, that’s the rule. Alphabetic order never came in consideration for these lists.

[Torva Messor 279]

@Torva Messor : Leslie Phillips in at n°13   AND Rolf Harris as 3rd/3ieme sub, please and thank you.

But why?   Unless I've missed something, the order doesn't affect the scoring in any way. I listed mine in alphabetical order because it's easier to keep track that way.

Surely it's only the 1-2-3 order of the subs that matters.

doesn't change anything yes, just it's easier for me to not rearrange every picks when one of them die… if you want to put them in alphabetic order, feel free to do so, I'll try to put them in alphabetic order in the first page list too

No, you don't need to.  I just wondered why you were bothering to assign positions in the lists.

I just fill the space left with the death of a pick. The position has no importance, I was just telling it to be sure that I’m not mistaking while changing the original lists ahah

[YorkshireBanker 168]

I choose June Spencer at no. 3 sub spot.

I don't think you can do that.  If I have understood correctly, subs have to be used in order.

On 07/09/2022 at 01:16, Lafaucheuse said:

Rules : 
Make a list of 20 names + 3 subs who could die between 1st of October 2022 and 1st of October 2023. 
The one winning is the one with the most points at the end of the year, thus the most hits as one hit = one point. 
Every time a pick of your list dies, the first sub on your list of 3 replace the dead pick in his/her position and enters the official list of 20. Then, you’ll have to choose another celeb to take the n°3 spot on your sub list. The subs left will move up from one spot putting  them a step closer to the official list.
If a sub dies before being on the list, then notify it and choose another celeb to enter at spot nº3. Each subs left behind will move one spot up.
You can choose similar celebrities as other participants. 
The only criteria for their admission is a qualifying obit when they pass : a qualifying obit means an article in English or in French.
You can choose whoever you want as long as they're famous enough (which means they have articles about their action available online, wikipedias article about them, acknowledgment in their field…)

Entries are now opened : you can send me your list in private message. They'll be uncovered on the first of October when the competition begins. 

Every time you have a hit, just quote your previous list and cross the hit to make it easier for me please and choose another celeb.

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with Torva’s placement looking at the rules. She has an empty third sub slot.

Yes. Every time a pick on your list of 20 dies, the sub in first position move into the official list and take the spot of the dead pick. All the others subs (n°2 and n°3) move up one spot and then become sub n°1 and n°2, making them closer to enter the official list (the one whose hits count as a point). Then, the participant has to choose another celeb to fill the n°3 spot left empty by the upgrade of the 2 others subs. That way, when you have a hit, you'll always have to pick someone who will automatically become your 3rd subs. 

I don't know if I explained it well… 

 

Tell me if you have any question or if someone is obscure, I thought it was clear for everyone but I don't mind explaining it again

Ah I see where I've misunderstood now. 

I thought June Spencer was already Torva's number 3 sub, and she was wanting to promote JS instead of her number 1 sub.

Sorry.  As you were.

If you do allow this, then I'll sub in Rolf Harris.

But I can see from Reptile's above why you wouldn't....given the fact he has died is not at issue I can presumably sub in Rolf anyway irrespective of whether or not I get a point for Mr Fuks...
