An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted December 31, 2023 A little over 12 hours to go for submissions, so this is your final reminder to submit a team. A total of 57 teams in, with not much variety! I swear, if any one of Jimmy Carter, Jonnie Irwin, Roberta Flack, Rob Burrow Nigel Starmer-Smith or James Whale die in the next 12 hours, I am going to absolutely lose it. Think Michael Douglas in Falling Down, with possibly a little of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. It will not be pretty. Still no sign of a team from @BuffaloPhil @chel @chickencobra @ImNotHades @Joey Russ @Pedro67 @Salmon Mousse @Sean @time and possibly no team from WhenThe, or whatever they have changed their name to. And of course any new players who want to try their hand at this, you are very welcome. Just chuck in 25 names and a few subs, and you are good to go, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hemlock 737 Posted January 7 I see the rosters are all loaded. I was pleasantly surprised to see @An Fear Beag allowed my pick of Sammy Basso, as I was afraid he'd run into the FFBI category. Good luck to everyone! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
