Hey it's not my party. ;)

 

Given we all had our suspicions subsequently proved correct, it was a huge risk to take picking Harris as he might have already died prior to another hit being announced on the thread. Which happened. I think if it had been a lesser name there could have been some instant ruling of "tough luck" but it was a huge name.

 

Up to the participants, but allowing Harris as a hit opens up a whole can of worms for the future. Your call though. ^_^

 

I have been struggling with this all night trying to work out what is fair and what is not. The nature of this game is quite cut throat and it is dependent on rapid release of obituaries. However it was my mistake to award the points and rush to open a new round so I have decided to let the hit stand but with the warning that future hits may need more scrutiny and I will tighten the rules for 2024 to hopefully be better reflected.

 

Apologies to any players who may have been impacted by this.

Sorry Biblio, was an idle thought on my part passing through the thread.

You were absolutely right to do so. As soon as I had posted I had twinges but in cases where you have hits in rapid succession such as Leslie Phillips and Bill Treacher the order they are announced may not be the exact order they occurred and  I allowed both of those. The fast nature of the poll also means there is pressure to start a new round

1927: Kenneth Anger / Cleo Laine

With Anger dying May 11 and Rolf dying May 10, that's two hits I had that beat Adamkienė to the punch but weren't announced until way later. To spite me obviously.

Seriously, @YoungWillz, you're always welcome here.

If you talk, we must listen.
