@WillyWonka422   @CalebH   I've a feeling your picks of Maggie Kirkpatrick and Patricia Greene  might prove to be inspired /genius picks. Both names I'm surprised aren't mentioned more in general on here.

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.

 

Just take my first sub, Mr D Law esq.

Got it, I've moved Denis Law to the 10th spot on the team, if you want him higher let me know.

 

You can also name a new second sub as deaths from your subs bench can still score in this game.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,385]

Donald Trump to replace June Spencer please.  (In this pool, not on The Archers)

[GuyFromFuture 72]

cause of Walkers death everyone 4-10 move up 1,and place Marcel Sabourin at 10 spot

Number two please.  We're well overdue an assassination.

I quite disagree. One of my favorites. If you are not a fan of it, fine do not play.  But I do not see the value of making such a rude comment about it either.

[Death Impends 8,181]

Director's note: Sir Creep lost points years back for picking a basketball player.

I totally agree with you, @livingbygrace. Hartlepool is one of my favourite pools, too. I love it so much.

I wish you good luck with your team... our first three candidates are exactly the same. 

But I give you my word, I didn't do it on purpose. I do bad things a lot of times, but I'm not a bad person.

Oh no not a problem at all... One I do not own any name, so I do not personally get hung up if someone has duplicates of any names I choose. Also these three names would be popular picks I feel as well. Considering their health stats.  Good Luck to you as well.

Looks like Tomiko Itooka died at end of December according to couple of sources mentioned on World's Oldest topic.

I thought she would have been in a few teams but I seem to be only one who picked her, as my first Sub, but of course some teams entered by sending PM so there may be others who picked her.

I assume I'm too late to pick a replacement Sub if her death is confirmed as last year?

I'm generous, it's only one team, and it's early so you can name a new sub, but please do so within 24 hours.

Thanks very much, can you add in Dino Zoff as replacement for Tomiko Itooka

[time 8,721]

My team has been unveiled on page 1; the only difference from last year being Sabrina Franklyn dropped, in favour of Gary Burghoff.

[Death Impends 8,181]

The Teams and Picks masterlists are now up on Page 1.

 

Consolation points to the pickers of gun-jumpers Jimmy Carter, Johnnie Walker, Arnold Ruutel, and Tomiko Itooka have been dished out with the points values corresponding to the cadaver's age divided by 100 (1 point for Carter, .79 for Walker, .96 for Ruutel, 1.16 for Itooka).

 

And the first proper 2025 casualty is Agnes Keleti, the Hungarian Olympic gymnast who won various gold medals in the 50s. She survived the Holocaust and was the longest-lived gold medal Olympian, and in a final sign of her stern stuff she was initially on the mend from a critical condition before the gravity of being a critically ill 103-year-old kicked in. Several teams vault upward: Book 45 points, Banana and drol 40, Toast 30, and Bobytomi and Perhaps their first sub for 25.

 

Additionally, Jytte Abildstrom and Richard B. Hays are also picks but I've yet to see QOs. Should they come, they'll be in the next update.

 

A very early first scoreboard already has over half the competition on the scoreboard, even if a lot of it is peanuts in value courtesy of the peanut man:

 

1.	Book	45
2.	drol	41
3.	Banana	40
4.	Toast	30
5.	Bobytomi	26.98

I know that I've been looking a bit rough after the Christmas festivities, but that pick seems a touch harsh.

 

[Death Impends 8,181]

Some copy and paste whoopsies, will remedy shortly. In my pick masterlist, I can open the celeb picked to display who picked them, and I must have copy pasted while some of them were open.

 

EDIT: Removed teams from the pick masterlist
