Guy from future pick Simone Segouin is dead

No QO yet (that I could find with 30 seconds googling) but surely there'll be something by the time the round ends....

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

And the Washington Post definitely counts as a QO....

 

Simone Segouin was the pin-up of the French resistance, the waifu of communist partisans, who rose to fame thanks to a profile in a 1944 issue of Life magazine. An iconic photo of her wielding a submachine gun while displaying what one journalist called "no trace of what is conventionally called toughness" didn't hurt her appeal either. Segouin has now chosen to mourir rather than vivre libre, and GuyFromFuture goes 4-0 up in his clash with DeathByArsenic. Just one less match to be decided by the RNG gods...

Coins have been tossed for the currently drawn ties, and if there's no more goals in the next five days the teams in bold will be advancing.

The first time I believe  I  would have made it through to the second round of this game if this still holds ! Of course  maybe one of my picks ,for example Joanne Woodward or Stanley Baxter, could die in the next few days  thus voiding me winning via a coin flip...

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

As usual, we will require an individual with no stakes in the cup to receive the gamerunner's team, which I'll send two days before the deadline for everyone else, to ensure no cheating. @Joey Russ would be the obvious person here....

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Yep, I can receive Spade’s team 

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Ali Yafie wasn't the professor from Bagpuss, but rather one of Indonesia's top Islamic scholars. Remember DL cuppers: if you're stuck for fodder, the Immortals thread is basically "filter by free transfers" for this tournament. The coin toss had already gone in their favour, but Arghton locks up a next-round spot for certain with our first captaincy death.

I thought Ali Yafie was the Mad Magazine creator of the “Fold-in” 

[justonecornetto 948]

Quick question - looks like Arghton has trounced me in Round 1 but in the slim chance that I get a couple of late strikes with about 60 hours to the final whistle do I still need to submit a team to @Spade_Cooley ?

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

My suggestion for any team currently behind in their time would be, if they think there's a comeback chance, just put a team together in a Google Doc or Notepad file and sit on it as late as possible. If you think you'll be away from the internet for all of the 28th then you can submit a team earlier on the off-chance, but I don't advise everyone to do this as it will flood my inbox.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

I have submitted my team, so I can start looking at people's entries now.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Yep, I’ve got his team. Will make sure none of secret names like MC Ren, Ryan Buell, and Rick Davies get spoiled…

[The Old Crem 3,583]

Do teams need to be in alphabetical order? 
And the deadline is Midnight GMT on the 28th? 

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

As I only included one sub with my team, and as Chester Borrows and Earl Mishler have died in the past 24 hours, I'm playing with 10 this round.

[msc 18,438]

I saw Crem post Borrows death yesterday and swore. My mediocre team (which is in) got even shitter! Good luck to Famous Eva or Killing Time (delete as applicable in 12 hours time).

[TheKillingTime 19]

Good Luck Msc,my odds might be low but I think I found the perfect person to help pull off a historic upset.

[TQR 14,386]

@MariNisia. I’m ready. You going dowwwn*.

 

 

*If, by some miracle, your team is even shitter than mine, which it won’t be.

[The Old Crem 3,583]

Entry in, 

[Perhaps 1,423]

My team is in. Good luck to Mr. Spade and everyone else! 

[deadsox 894]

Just sent my March team in in case the old lady does not catch me at the end.

 

Good luck Gooseberry Crumble or ThereWillBeDeaths in case there are deaths.

@TQR. I'm ready, too. 

Your team will be extraordinary, and I am totally sure about that.

I'm very pleased to play with you, I love to play with the best players.

Good luck!

Team In

Good Luck everyone

My team is in, in case I’m still leading by the end of the day. If I am, thanks @Bibliogryphon for the game
