Gooseberry Crumble 5,361 Posted January 3, 2023 @John Key Just noticed as I was writing all my team lists down that I seem to only have 49 names instead of 50. According to my scrap paper work that should have been Connie Francis but I don't seem to have typed her name in my submitted list according to search so the fault is mine! Apologies!! It's number 23 missing so please just move my first sub in its place please. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number 23 is missing it goes 22 then 24 but the initial error is mine so I think the only realistic solution is to insert my first sub Graham Nash rather than a name I forgot to post in my initial list? Of course it's up to you 100% but it's either that or having a team with 49 names? Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as no information about Connie Francis has been revealed in the last 4 days and she hasn't died, I think it's fair to pass the choice onto you. Would you like Graham Nash to be moved up, or for Connie Francis to be moved into your list? (same criteria Graham Nash, no new info and hasn't died) Ultimately, I feel that my position is to be lenient (within reason) because this is about people using their own shadow deathlists, not necessarily just for some silly, meaningless competition 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you probably know I am not really competitive and am unlikely to pose any threat to any player in any pool! I just felt it was right to let you know. My preference would be for Connie Francis as no new information has come out. However just so you know, while I am not really competitive I have treated this as game and thus my own personal shadowlist( which of course is not in any competition ) is slightly different to this list. Some names such as Vera Miles and Jacqueline White are the same but others are different. In the light of that if you are still OK letting me decide then I pick Connie Francis! Thanks for your patience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 759 Posted January 4, 2023 Frank McGarvey died on the 1st of January. Before I add them to the scoreboard, I welcome discussion about this. Any questions about when he died, if any of these times may be valid/invalid because of entry, or anything else you can think of should be mentioned now. I will also tag the people who have him as a death so that they may defend their point if they would like. Frank McGarvey @Book - 1st January 4:43AMNZST (31st December 3:31PM UK) @gcreptile - 30th December @Famous6Eva - 30th December @Windsor - 29th December I will wait at least a day before adding him to the scoreboard.

Windsor 2,235 Posted January 4, 2023 Just now, John Key said: Very likely the case. I will still allow for a period of time for anyone to dispute or discuss (time of death, people inclusion of him) It’s not disputed. He died after midnight on the 1st January. I may have missed the grace period in the rules, but if there is no grace period even if he died at 1 minute past midnight it should be accepted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
