Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 16, 2007 I wonder why "No Noose is Good Noose" haven't got their 20 points for their DDP hits of Corey Duane Hamilton and Carlos Granados. Both their AP news feed obits (aka DDP UK newspaper obit) came before Bezzerides' one, but no points for them on the scoreboard for them. Probably a combination of the DDP boys being too busy to notice/forgetting that they were in the competition and no one stepping up to tell them about it.

Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted January 16, 2007 I wonder why "No Noose is Good Noose" haven't got their 20 points for their DDP hits of Corey Duane Hamilton and Carlos Granados. Both their AP news feed obits (aka DDP UK newspaper obit) came before Bezzerides' one, but no points for them on the scoreboard for them. Quite simply, because neither of their deaths have been covered by a UK newspaper yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 16, 2007 The DDP is so sh*t this year. I think I'm going to do worse this year than I did last. So I'm sulking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted January 16, 2007 Their deaths were on The Guardian website on an AP feed the same as Bezzerides was. They're on this thread to click on FFS I don't think that counts, if I've understood what Rude Kid said in the e-mail properly as it's not really an obituary - it's an international breaking news feed and not a permament link. (ie it is now, but won't be 11 months down the line). Bobby Hamilton's was disqualified for the same reasons (same paper, same section). So hopefully, it won't count. Anyway, why this sudden whinging crusade over AP feeds? The same rule was in place last year & you didn't whinge then? and seeing as "two for two" is the only mention of them on here, it's hardly surprising I missed it isn't it?

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 16, 2007 TF - with regards to your sig, I suggest you change it or organise your own deadpool and make a success of it. I agree with you with AP feeds, but only because it will probably not affect my team. PM Rude Kid or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 16, 2007 Back Down. And now lets be friends. Hate the asshole who filled his team with Death Row inmates. I raise my middle finger to the organizers who allow that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,399 Posted January 17, 2007 Well it looks like the nice chaps at the DDP have disqualified me as my team isn't on the scoreboard. It's also possible that they haven't processed your team yet. My team isn't on the board yet either. DDP's front page says: 217 teams out of 446 have been uploaded so far regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted January 17, 2007 Bezzerides obit was an AP feed as well, what's the difference? I've put the reasons. Bezzerides was an actual page in the film section. The other two were a "breaking news" AP feed. I've repeated it below for you to try see the difference. I don't think that counts, if I've understood what Rude Kid said in the e-mail properly as it's not really an obituary - it's an international breaking news feed and not a permament link. (ie it is now, but won't be 11 months down the line). Bobby Hamilton's was disqualified for the same reasons (same paper, same section). But either way, those were the rules last year, so you should've made the most of it rather than whinge. Also, it doesn't say all the teams have been uploaded yet that picked Barzan/Bandar. It's only a deadpool for f**ks sake, TF, anybody would think it's important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,356 Posted January 17, 2007 Well it looks like the nice chaps at the DDP have disqualified me as my team isn't on the scoreboard. I picked old Barzan and Awad, and all teams that selected him have supposedly been uploaded. I guess they can't take the criticism. For selfish reasons, I hope you have been disqualified. That would probably make my joker a unique pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
