Recommended Posts

Rather than keeping under my hat, what the heck, here is my team for 2014.

 

50 Billy Graham

45 General Jaruzelski

40 Gough Whitlam

35 Ian Paisley

30 Katherine Crowe

25 Clive James

20 Tony Benn

15 Penny Marshall

10 Zsa Zsa Gabor

05 Ariel Sharon

Subs Albert Reynolds & Mary Tyler Moore

 

So far as it stands, 8 returning teams lined up, with a possible new entrant from Dr. Zorders to come.

 

Ten names in the order you think they will die...

Plus two subs.

Returning teams must submitt by noon on the 1st of January 2014 (UK time)

All new teams shall be submitted by midnight on the 31st December 2013.

Should a returning team be entered after midnight on the 31st December 2013, that team will not be able to collect points from a death that happens before noon on the 1st Jan.

 

All valid teams can make any TWO changes to the team till noon on the 1st Jan if the submission is before midnight on the 31st December 2013. Moving any two names either up or down the list or replacing any person on the list with that of a named substitute.

Only ONE of the changes to a team can be the entry of a new name that does not appear as one of the subs.

 

I notice that CaptainChorizo and Estuarian Float have only submitted one sub so far. These two teams can still submit a second sub till midnight on the 31st if they so wish.

Just to say i've extended our cut-off for new players maybe till noon to assist Dr. Zorders. When his team is in I'll start to publish the choices of all entries.

 

Till then, those that want in, list of ten name and I'll be needing two subs from everyone as well. Main Rules on page 25 of this thread.

Jolly good, just about set for the 2014 game to kick off at noon tomorrow. Should any picks die between now and noon they will count for the entered teams.

 

I'll place the final 2013 result here at midday.

 

So if any teams are not quite happy with the order or who they entered you can make TWO changes to your team till NOON today. You can bring in ONE new team member subtituting out one off your list and then move that person up or down into the order you wish.

 

Or you can use your TWO substitutes by replacing any two members of your team in the previous positions.

 

The big twist will be that the remaining subs will be able to score points during the year - more details to follow after noon tomorrow so please make sure you are all listing TWO subs' so you don't miss those extra points.

And the final 50 points goers to Grobler's Stiff Ones for initially finishing in 13th place, well done, that feat puts you 7th.

 

So, we have a worthy winner with a truelly amazing total, Bert Trautmann, 9 out of 10 well played sir.

Not only that, but during the year the namesake titled Heir Trautmann died and also one of those (Anne Williams) he chose to move out of his team prior to the start of the competition. Very well done.

 

1st - 320 points - Bert Trautmann (Golden Slumbers)

2nd - 273 points - Maryportfuncity

3rd - 267 points - the_engineer (Sovereign-Reaper)

4th - 251 points - Magere Hein

5th - 250 points - Death Impends

6th - 235 points - CaptainChorizo

7th - 200 points - Grobler's Stiff Ones

8th - 196 points - STAB in-the DARK

9th - 177 points - Estuarian Float

10th - 171 points - Devon Death Trip

=11th - 160 points - Eesti (THD Tofoa)

=11th - 160 points - Mr Potatoe's Heads

13th - 157 points - The Dead Cow

14th - 143 points - Windsor the Troll

15th - 136 points - Toast

This year I shall mostly be feeling very confident of greater success.

It would appear that the "committee" have pulled some of their 2014 names off of the same website I found.

Result.

So, off we go 2014 HPDP. May the best team win...

 

PS Those who have nominated subs, can pick up bonus points should either or both of them die. (No particular order of death required) They won't move up or down in value, or have multiplying bonus points, but for a single successful hit they will pay you 25 points. A second successful hit will gain you a further 50 points.

 

Leader Board:

 

1st - 1 point Deathray

=2nd - 0 points Everyone else

 

Because Deathray's sub choice of Selena Gomez is in itself worthy of the sexist quote...

"I'd like to give her one"
