Bibliogryphon 9,650 Posted November 30 I had five names in mind before I logged on. I was on at 12.05 and two of my five names had been taken. However no-one used the other two names I was thinking of Joanne Woodward and Arnold Yarrow 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 429 Posted November 30 I was a little surprised that Jody Gormly was not used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,083 Posted November 30 Have to admit I was 50:50 between my pick and Cpt. Hemlock's - if available, of course. A change of plans coincidentally made me available at the right time. What speed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,083 Posted December 9 Zzz.... nothing happening. I bet somebody thought about picking Arnold Yarrow, but didn't. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep @Bibliogryphon said Yarrow was on his short list of possibles he might have picked Have we ever had a year we did not get the hit before Christmas? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,886 Posted December 9 Latest hit was Ken Helcher, 2016 (initial year), 10 Dec. The only updates I can find since the game started are that Manouchehr Bakhtiari had a heart attack around a week ago and Álvaro Noboa was in "increasingly delicate condition" yesterday.

YoungWillz 21,240 Posted December 9 However, this seems to be a false claim of his death? https://www-vistazo-com.translate.goog/actualidad/nacional/2024-09-12-alvaro-noboa-no-ha-fallecido-secretaria-comunicacion-gobierno-GB8443811?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingbygrace 429 Posted December 11 Yeah Jody was on my top two, but then at the last minute decided on Kaiti Grey . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,151 Posted December 14 This broke all the records. There were no really good picks this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,267 Posted December 14 This field seemed a lot more casual this year than normal (and again, Jody Gormley probably should’ve been picked) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On Wikipedia we usually call this a "test edit". There is a sandbox for people to mess around in and experiment with edits and that should really be done there. The IP in question is Brazilian, so I sincerely doubt they have any inside knowledge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,686 Posted 22 hours ago They're all still alive, right - and they're mocking us. The hunger striker - for example - clearly got fed, or force fed, in hospital and he's back in jail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hunger striker - for example - clearly got fed, or force fed, in hospital and he's back in jail One of the cardinal rules of deadpooling - never trust a hunger-striker. Generally you just give them a week or two, wave a Big Mac in front of their noses, and all their lofty principles melt away. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,894 Posted 21 hours ago Not singling anyone out in particular, but there are some real stupid picks this year. Folk who are very old, but not at imminent risk. Not surprised this pool has gone tits up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,240 Posted 21 hours ago I should be emailing my DDP teams this afternoon. That may start the dominos toppling. Don't see the problem myself. It's still advent and for a few days yet. No rush. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
