Work is about to start, I'm working until 8pm US EST. So I'll have to sort out the Johnnie Walker subbing after that.

[Death Impends 8,181]

OK now for remaining subs.

 

@Imelda @The Old Crem @GuyFromFuture picked Johnnie Walker so I will need either a promotion of a sub+a new sub, or a new name entirely.

 

Ruutel was only picked by Grimgrass so that is all taken care of.

 

Additionally I see @DevonDeathTrip picked June Spencer who had died in November so a replacement for her will be needed.

 

I will give till 23:59 GMT on January 2 for substitutions. After that, anyone who doesn't respond will have their first sub bumped to tenth place and no second sub.

[Death Impends 8,181]

As it stands we are on 58 participants, one below last year's total of 59.

 

If you do not see your name here please let me know ASAP.
