Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted February 23 John Savident is a hit in the Coronation Street category for myself (3rd hit, each in a different category) and for @arghton who gets the first hit of the game I fear the numbers of possibilities are diminishing for my potential B5/B7 category in a future game we have lost John Savident and Pamela Salem across two days Doesn't change the number of finishing possibilities @Commtech Sio Bibble and @Captain Hemlock are the only players without a hit at the moment 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah even if Jean-Pierre Jarrier goes first you will need Jacques Laffitte to win the game and unless you have another three hits @gcreptile will pip you to the post 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commtech Sio Bibble 2,059 Posted February 23 I'm embarrassed enough as it is, without being tagged in the post. I stand by most of my picks (apart from the F1 category because I just chose 3 random names). At least it's not the worst deadpooling performance I've given. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted February 23 I kind of hope for a win with Jacques Laffite. Then the winning strategy will have been to just copy/paste OoO's list of frail racers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted February 23 I'm glad this round has stood the test of time better than my last time picking the categories when the massacre of Bond actors ended it in double quick time! 10 hits by GCR is very impressive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,155 Posted May 14 Quite a few of us have Alice, but I don't think she's on the list of game-enders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted May 15 34. Alice Munro yw, mn, ph, ti, gr, to, bp, di @Toast finally catches their break in this round being the only person to move into a winning position from the passing of Alice Munro in the Time category. Only needing a Brit winner to complete the one in each category line. However @gcreptile still has the monopoly on most of the good picks so there are only two additional option Julie Covington and the stealing of John Williams from under the nose of @RoverAndOut as Toast has more hits overall (but only just) Is the finish line in sight? 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 15 In cases of non-unique picks @Bibliogryphon, would it be possible to highlight in bold which player currently takes precedence? I'm now tied on all 4, do I actually have an 'out' at the moment..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have updated the list to put the actual person who would win from the pick in bold (where there are multiple picks) Unfortunately you have been trumped on all your possible outs but with 6 hits you only need a few more hits to take them back 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
