Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted February 25, 2013 So what's the actual current scores? Do I need to quickly go and leave a skateboard at the top of Rihanna's stairs? No need to go to such lengths just e-mail Chris Brown and intimate that she has told you that he is not very well provided for in the trouser department. You will be collecting points before you know it. This post is wrong in so many ways!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 3, 2013 That weekly update, in full. Will there be another update, or a winner in the next seven days? Devon Death Trip - 1970 Spade Cooley - 1307 Angry Greatness - 1290 Unknown Man - 1262 Death Impends - 1078 Maryport - 1000 Eesti - 997 Lard Bazaar - 996 Bert Trautmann - 928 Deadsox - 919 Rotten Ali - 649 Applecool Downunder - 345 Toast - 335 Red Flag - 330 Grobler - 307 MSC - 307 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 6, 2013 RESULT!!!! Devon Death Trip - 2271 Angry Greatness - 1591 Death Impends - 1379 Spade Cooley - 1307 Eesti - 1298 Unknown Man - 1262 Bert Trautmann - 1229 Deadsox - 1220 Maryport - 1000 Lard Bazaar - 996 Toast - 937 Rotten Ali - 649 Applecool Downunder - 646 Red Flag - 631 Grobler - 608 MSC - 307 Bibliogryphon - 301 Apologies for the earlier mistake but this is the real deal and DDT's nailed-on winner status is finally confirmed. The first former champion to take a second title! As per the mistake a fortnight ago, it is now customary for praise to be heaped upon the winner and the winner to respond with modest mutterings about luck, pins in lists of names etc. DDT, can you PM me to indicate whether a charitable donation or physical prize of some sort (like maybe a triple CD of Christian rock that we've decided we won't use for the radio show!) would be preffered.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 7, 2013 Aye, a fair point AG. The jockeying for podium places was lively to the last (Chavez). A serious point here gang, despite the work involved and full-on blitz of activity that caused me to miscalculate the winner a fortnight back I'm up for doing this again in 2014. The Grim Reaper seems relaxed enough about this forum hosting Deathrace and all the day-to-day HPDP activities. I'm up for making one change next year and ditching dirty dozens and filthy fifteens in favour of teams of 20 all round, however they are compiled. That should reward anyone intent on Deathrace winning and keen enough to draft a line-up of low-hangers including the elderly, cult heroes fit for trade press obits and the like. Before this thread falls into the abyss, whaddya reckon to that plan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted March 7, 2013 Congrates DDT. You are awfie good at this listing people who are going to die lark. Should I ever wind up on one of your lists, I'd have to make sure my will was in order. And sounds fine MPFC - indeed, next year I think I'll put in a Tarnished Twenty instead of the DDP list, given how my DDP seems more content to be a marathon instead of a sprint!

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 29, 2013 Reet As the thread sinks slowly into obscurity let me just revive it for a few seconds for two reasons: 1 - I'm intending to run it again and make ONE change, basically any team of 20 however constituted will be allowed for 2014 in the hope that specialist teams of conspicious low-hangers will be mustered for an all-out assualt on victory by the end of January,or summat. Seriously, 20 super-centenarians would be welcome etc! If anyone has any other opinions on this plan, post 'em before the thread finds itself on page 11 of this forum. 2 - I've only just got round to paying out the prize. DDT admirably opted for a charity donation and that coincided with MPFC Towers changing broadband providers at which point the (generally shit) support services offered by Orange left me unable to log on for weeks. Wasn't totally sure about online security when I did, but finally sorted now. DDT supports this lot, I'm sure anyone else donating to them would make the world a better place. http://www.balloons-devon.org.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
