MPFC I am going to join in the fun of this for 2023, it seems good fun, if that is ok of course? I am not going to post my 20 topplers though until later in the month in case December 2022 brings us late carnage. 

 

 

Yeah, it's okay of course - late carnage can always be compensated by a decent subs bench, btw.

Hmmm

 

I'm telling yers all now if Pele and/or Rolf Harris pegs late in the year I'll be sorely tempted to claim I've seen no coverage and just invoke the infamous Raymond Hewlitt Memorial rule.

MPFC so if I decided to post my team today and one of my topplers died before 1st January 2023 am I right in thinking that my first sub would automatically move into that person's place?

The short answer is yes

 

The longer answer is that if your subs are currently capable of movement, they're probably shit subs in this pool!

MPFC would you be able to put this into a list for me as I have done this on my phone and can't list my presumed topplers. If you could I would be extremely grateful.

I took over the role of MC'ing the Deathrace at a time when people were quiet and not bothering to submit teams, the incoming business was minimal and everything seemed calm with a clear set of rules and the odd grimly funny bit of form studying getting posted on the site. I could kid myself that I was in charge and actually managing something. Now the flood of teams has massively increased, picks are pegging out and requiring replacement by substitutes and - frankly - I've discovered after 44 days I'm not up to the job because you end up having to take on board that there are more opinions in the world than your own and more ways of doing things than simply enforcing a bunch of rules and expecting everyone else to shut up and follow them. Some people even want to negotiate, that is the final straw for me. I therefore [predictable bit about what an honour it was, support of family and reluctancly tendering resignation], it's been emotional etc.

On it, if there's confusion regarding substitute jokes - since eight of those were riding on this pick - keep the messages coming. At least he had the decency to die before the deadline so we'll have everything up in time (assuming Rolf and the ex-Pope play along) 

 

Utter legend btw, proven by the fact the Deathlist is struggling to load and behave itself.
