Look at the dates on the holiday thread and it'll make sense. Picked Chomsky because he was the only survivor of the first 2 rounds of this game not to be picked by 7pm. Probably because people think he'll snuff it too soon, to which I say, you should be grateful for me speeding up the game. Shame you missed the Scavenger Hunt, especially if you put in the legwork to compile a team! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,446 Posted August 27, 2024 Polish singer Rena Rolska has kickstarted the round by becoming hit number one. She died aged 92 earlier today, thus eliminating TheKillingTime from the competition. Please let me know if I have missed any hits. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,446 Posted December 29, 2024 Jimmy Carter. He was first picked in the original round, he entered hospice over the same period, and now, finally, he is a hit, eliminating game creator GuyFromFuture from contention for the win. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,446 Posted Friday at 10:31 Plowright's death means that there are no living people who have been picked in every round of this game. It also marks the first time since Topol died that Commtech Sio Bibble hasn't picked the seventh hit of the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingbygrace 584 Posted Friday at 11:28 I think it is time for a lady to be the 8th hit.. May I suggest the lovely Jane Morgan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may well be right, given the way this round seems to be going. James Earl Jones June Spencer Jimmy Carter. Johnnie Walker. Joan Plowright. With the additions of the unpicked Janey Godley, Jody Gormley, and Jean-Marie Le Pen, now is not a good time to have a name starting with J. Is Joanne Woodward next? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,446 Posted Friday at 19:43 Obit says he died today, a day after Plowright, so that's him in eighth and therefore the winning pick. Congratulations to Wannamaker for picking Jenis Denis Law, and my condolences to Perhaps for picking him a couple of seconds later and having to change to the, as far as we know, still breathing Esther Rantzen. I intend to put the new thread up shortly. It also looks like my point made when the last round ended, that despite the wide range of permitted picks the winners seem to always be DL-famous, still stands. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
