alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 31, 2023 Also have not received confirmation of my team (Fade to Black) being received. Sent on Friday, replied to the e-mail address from where it came. Same address as usual. Hopefully, just a matter of getting to all the entries before the deadline to send those confirmations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted December 31, 2023 24 minutes ago, Toast said: I sent mine to ddp@derbydeadpool.co.uk and got an immediate auto-reply. I sent it to that email and didn't but then, from memory, the auto-reply has trouble with certain Email providers. I'm not worried as I never get the auto-update but am in the DDP each year!

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 31, 2023 26 minutes ago, Toast said: I sent mine to ddp@derbydeadpool.co.uk and got an immediate auto-reply. Hmm. That is where I originally sent it to, as a reply to the e-mail sent to me with the Microsoft Excel sheet. Re-sent it, no reply. Definitely sent, as I forwarded it to another e-mail address. However, I see someone else has replied with a reassurance. I will reply to them. Thank you for the post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 31, 2023 Tbh, I don’t really care about any potential uniques stolen (I only really have one potential and it’s a name I brought on because I felt like it), so here’s a more casual Day In The Death entry: Derek Draper (joker) John Ashton Brian Barczyk Franz Beckenbauer Theo Burrell Rob Burrow James Carter Cathcart Jimmy Carter Noam Chomsky Joe Doering Shannen Doherty Roberta Flack Toni Hilland Johnnie Irwin Toby Keith Steve Lieberman Steve McMichael Patrick Murray Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 47 Posted December 31, 2023 I've sent in my teams for this year. Good luck to everyone! I've decided to send only two teams instead of three like I did last year. The third team I sent in last year was fairly rushed, and I don't want to submit a team I'm not happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted December 31, 2023 Pleased to receive my emails confirming that all my DDP picks have been accepted and entered into the game. I have always managed to stay within the games eligibility rules for picks despite being a bit zany, out there and left field. Thanks for your hard work @Banana 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted January 1 My space theme team removed the dead folk, promoted Thomas Stafford to joker, demoted Francis Graham-Smith to regular pick. Added William R. Lucas and Loren Acton. My US #1s theme team removed the dead folk as well as Abdul "Duke" Fakir (I'm focused on names who might not otherwise be DDP picks and he was on 4 teams in 2023 so I'm pretty sure heeeee'll be theeeeere regardless). Added Jimmy Gilmer and Bobby Goldsboro. Very casual TJS to be posted after absolute deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 872 Posted January 1 My lists. Some new names. Sub Hosono was a member of a trio last year but this year the only one in YMO. Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi both died. I know there are a lot Isley brothers but Ronald is the last one of the original group. I'll ask for Paul McCartney to be subbed since the drummer of Wings turns out also to be alive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
