The requisite rule is below: 9 - An "obit" in the context of the MMMDP is any news report in English from a reliable source. Such sources include - but are not limited to - UK national press, UK national broadcast organisations, foreign press and broadcast organisations with an English language thread to their communication, trade press in English, local news organisations reporting in English and coverage in specialist online sites, such as those monitoring the well-being of super-centenarians. Where dispute arises over the qualifying nature of a news source for obit purposes MPFC's decision is final. But he wants fast and furious competition and is generally very amenable to low hanging dead pool fruit of all varieties. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the news on Lord Henry? I didn't see anything to suggest he is on his way out in the immediate future , but I'm not on any social media, so I presume something ominous has been posted? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diego 1,892 Posted May 31 I really like this game because it starts on my birthday, but at a difficult time for me (early morning), so it's difficult for me to participate, but I would choose Rosey Grier if I had managed to participate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,264 Posted May 31 Ah sadly I was too late to join because I was working and my body was struggling to stay up until midnight (but I just about managed the KOS games). Good luck to everyone taking part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,073 Posted May 31 FFS. I had it in my head this opened ON June 1st, not May 31st. Had already worked out when I'd be able to post in the morning. Anyway, for what it's worth, I'd have taken a punt on Octopus's recent nudge, Rupert Keegan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
