Joe Doering in play - you're down to one sub (Roberta Flack) from the four fielded. Had we started a week earlier you might already have won! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted January 8 Updated on the assumtion Franz Beckenbaur died today - not that his death (only two teams/no jokers) has greatly shaken anything up. I'll tweak the points if it turns out he's been dead longer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted January 9 Okay gang, I'd clearly missed Caleb's joker and underdone the points - been a bit manic on the work front this week. Should have the new leaderboard done by late tonight including a rash of persons into four figures, can't see this going too much longer so the real tension is whether we'll have a winner whilst Jimmy Carter still has a heartbeat.

maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted January 9 So, we Khan do it (heh heh) I mean, we can proceed from here on in by only updating a leaderboard for competitors with four figure scores - livening up, I'm planning a weekend break in ten days - thinking we could have a winner by then. For die-hard form watchers the top six include half of the half dozen with cashed in jokers (Banana and Caleb cashed in on Derek Draper and Wannamaker just hit paydirt with Khan today). LizLemon still leads the pack with Jimmy Carter as joker (along with loads of the rest of us) An Fear Beag is awaiting the double point demise of Wayne Eddy and Sideik slam dunks double points assuming 112-year-old environmentalist Saalumarada Thimmakka turns herself to something recyclable. Somewhat less exciting than the recent darts, I'll admit, but tension is mildly mounting.

An Fear Beag 1,355 Posted January 9 I think you may have overcounted LizLemons's points. 366 + 363 + 362 = 1091 (Sorry Liz - I'm in this to win ) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My deathrace decisions are always off by one. 20/20 hindsight, eh? Either way, you're in the four figure scores. I'm not premature enough to award Battersby points without a q/o though there's enough discussion hereabouts that's already buried the man. If and when only Wannamaker in the top seven has him.

On it this afternoon, by which time we may be adding Battersby points - I'll do a full recount because I've been doing this in five minute gaps between other stuff this week. So I'll double check everyone with more than one hit, thanks for outing yourself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted January 12 Good call, I'm minded to award Battersby points despite the Wikipedia still noting a citation is needed. 10 Jan death, q/o pretty much bound to follow. So, previous mistakes rectified, finally had time to double check a few things. Deaths up to date until someone posts evidence of more counting carkers and Battersby's end is the start of Wannamakers surge to top spot. All (or summat to the value of around £10) to play for. Livening up, mind: Wannamaker - 1436 LizLemon - 1091 CalebH - 1088 An Fear Beag - 1087 Banana - 1084 Sideik - 1082 gcreptile - 1081 Arghton - 1078 msc - 1078 Drol - 1077 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted January 12 So, Wiki's having some fun in the last ten minutes it's gone from noting Battersby's death needs a citation to saying Roy Battersby "is" - maybe I'll cite Deathlist and say Roy Battersby "is a dead pooling enigma." Situation is being monitored but - provisionally - the points are staying where they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
