Grimgrass 474 Posted January 5, 2023 Congrats Daredevil! Well played. I'm pleasantly surprised with my 4th place. Didn't expect to rank that high, seeing as I only managed to predict three newcomers correctly and had just MacGowan on correct place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,406 Posted January 5, 2023 Well, I'm pleased and surprised my last minute effort got me a mid table finish. But I'm frustrated that I assumed the carry overs would be moved around to freshen up the list, whereas if I'd left the top 10 largely unaffected, I'd have been sky high! Congrats Daredevil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,078 Posted January 6, 2023 @Book I think TomTomTelekon deserves another 3 points for General Pervez Musharraf; he guessed him within 10 places. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTomTelekom 3,595 Posted January 6, 2023 Wow, we are becoming more precise compared to the past.....Never before we had so many participants with such positive results. @The Daredevil: Congratulations, really well done! And many Thanks also to Book for running that game Wish all of you nice and healthy 2023! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 3,406 Posted January 6, 2023 Hi @Book, just got round to checking my score and it makes absolutely no difference to my position but I think I should be on 60 not 55 - I put Tony Bennett 7th, which is where he is but was only scored +5, not +10. Frustrating how many were within 5 but didn't score me exact position points! I should have kept the 2022 list in place and just changed those I wasn't keeping! The other thing that let me down was picking newcomers who were ill, rather than people the Committee likes! -3s all over the place. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,406 Posted January 11, 2023 Well, King Constantine's demise means after just 10 days I'm 2-0 up on the Committee! Ailing former European monarch seemed a decent punt to be on the DL, a la King Michael of Romania. Alas not for the Committee... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,406 Posted February 5, 2023 4th hit already by the first week in February with General Musharraf, but in all honesty I wasn't sure I had him (but assumed I must, given his health issues and previous DL appearances) but was also desperately hoping the Committee hadn't dropped him as well, as their start has been so poor up to now! Thankfully, they're off the mark: 4-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
