I know for a fact my list shares one of your spelling errors, spelling errors happen! Your first error is #6 Shannen Doherty - I spelled that one wrong too and will need to fix my own list But I do notice quite a few major spelling errors on almost every third name. If they don't get fixed I won't process your list into this competition. You also don't need to clarify obvious celebrities that don't have pretty unique names and that are well known e.g. Barbara Knox and Bob Odenkirk wouldn't be confused for anyone else. Post your list as a new comment when you're done fixing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 747 Posted December 30, 2023 9 hours ago, livingbygrace said: For goodness sake I have been changing my list this whole week with finding mis-spellings on my list and tonight this post showed me I still had a name wrong by one letter. Misspellings are normal. As long as either the first or last name is spelled correctly, I'll usually get it for this competition. Pasting the name from google is the best way, but I'm guilty of typing out some of my own names. Major misspellings / nicknames may become an issue. 8 hours ago, Toast said: The name was correctly spelt. That wasn't the problem. Was it that there were dead people in the list? You can't just be ambiguous like this and make me guess, it'll hurt my ickle feelings. Including dead people like June Brown won't result in a correction from me, that's what your subs are for - I don't usually look at individual names and I don't want to fix peoples lists for them. I'm not personally critiquing every submitted list, just if I have to be corrected every 5 seconds because I missed someone because of a spelling mistake it adds to work 3 hours ago, Kissofdeath said: Unfortunately I suffer from chronic fatigue so take the P**** but writing is almost impossible for Me so to edit is too hard nevermind was only a game looks like I'm out Take the penis? Happily, sir I'm trying to think of a 5 letter word that fits in there. Late submissions are allowed, or feel free to enter next year I hope you understand why I wouldn't allow your list to be submitted as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Auto Immune issues myself with one of them literally almost taking my life two years ago. Tomarrow I celebrate the anniversary of the life saving surgery that has given my life back. Hense really the name I choose livingbygrace. But I also struggle daily with effects and fatigue that a normal middle age women should not be going through. Just wanted to give you some encouragement today and will pray that you will feel better and get your strength up soon. Maybe do as John Key suggest, and just take your time and do a little at a time, and you can still participate 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 747 Posted December 30, 2023 I have the following teams that have entered and been put into my personal masterlist; the first 4 have been DM'd to me and will be revealed publicly after the 1st of January. Any further update to your list should be posted as a new comment. Any list made after the 1st of January, NZST, will still be added to the competition, but with the exact time you submitted it added next to your name with the masterlist. This just means that any early deaths may be questioned, see the rules for more details, I assume I put it in there. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour. 1. Salmon Mousse 2.
