I'm being thick as usual - do I send you my whole DDP team or just 15 of them?

 

Ignore me, I've just actually read the rules. As I'm a suspicious bitch, I'm PMing you my team so nobody nicks my brilliant picks.

ENTRIES CLOSED!!

 

In deference to those who PM'd and asked I'll hold faith with their requests not to put the final list - including some unique picks and several I haven't heard of - live until New Year's Day.

 

20 teams on board, shit-load of picks, probably the livliest Deathrace yet, I'll be amazed if we don't get some fierce competition and a scorer of 2013 points this year. Let battle commence, or summat.

[maryportfuncity 10,646]

Reet, an immediate dilemma.

 

TWO late entries (I'll keep the names out of the debate), but...

 

There's no doubt they arrived on 31 December (hence ineligable).

 

But I thought I'd put it to the vote

 

If you're one of those listed as having entered, (list of teams above). you've got 31st of December to express an opinion.

 

Do you want two more teams on board yes/no?

[Windsor 2,233]

As an impartial member, I say let them play.

Can't do much damage.

[Toast 16,137]

No objection from me. Still feels like today to me, but I'm an owl, not a lark.

[Death Impends 7,964]

I'm alright with two more teams.

[msc 18,439]

Aye, I'm all for them joining in, the more the merrier.

[deadsox 894]

I say let them play (especially since I might be one of them).

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

the more the merrier

[Estuarian Float 97]

I might be one of them too... Though I dont have my DDP 20 ready yet as I've been too occupied with work and stuff to focus on my research. I've been pulling all my notes together tonight.

[Rotten Ali 600]

No idea. Only let in the bonafide crowd as late comers and then only till midnight.

[Eesti 151]

Do you want two more teams on board yes/no?

 

No problem for me with that.

 

PS! My name is Eesti, not Eestie

[time 8,599]

Personally, I believe its up to you, as its your game.

 

On the one hand, as the year hasn't started yet, its not as if they gain any advantage by submitting a little late, but on the other hand, rules is rules, and we all know where we'd be without any rules!
