There wasn't even a bonus point for thanking the host - just a penalty of 2 points if you didn't! You can tell Mrs Pedro that your thanks for allowing her to enter was considered good enough for her to avoid the penalty. 5 hours ago, BuffaloPhil said: Glad to see you remembered to thank yourself, AFB - that could have been an embarrassing start! I did thank myself profusely for being such a wonderful host, and just an all round great guy . It was a bit sickeningly over-the-top to be honest. (I did say thanks to Clorox when I sent him my team for safe-keeping, so I figured that was sufficient for me to avoid a penalty) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted February 24, 2023 Let's start as we definitely do not intend to continue, by efficiently scoring hits as they occur. As there is no penalty this year for saying the hidden bonuses, I will post some of them (or at least the relevant parts of some of them) as they are hit. Others may remain hidden until the end of the pool. TIM LOBINGER +2 Base Point +3 (First Hit of year) +2 (Hidden Bonus No. 5: "+2 if pick is the only DDP pick to die on that day") +2 (Hidden Bonus No. 6: "+2 if the picks Wikipedia page has a “Personal Life” section (it has to be those exact two words" ) +3 (Hidden Bonus No. 8: "+3 if they were born in a country that does not now exist") -1 (Hidden Bonus No. 11: "-1 for every time a pick has remarried") +11 TOTAL POINTS Hits for: An Fear Beag (Bonus +1 Picture posted) Book (Bonus +2 First picture posted) (Wildcard) Captain Chorizo Funeralopolis Gcreptile (Bonus +1 Picture posted) (Wildcard) The Old Lady (Wildcard) Wannamaker (Bonus +1 Picture posted) Nobody managed to get a bonus point for the correct positioning of a player on their list. The picture bonus does not have any statute of limitations on it - suitable pictures will be accepted right up until the end of the competition so there is still time for @CaptainChorizo@Funeralopolisor @theoldladyto add to their score, or take away from someone elses. However for now, @Bookleads the way, followed closely by @gcreptile, and @theoldlady, all of whom selected Lobinger as a wildcard.
