Predictor 1,018 Posted March 19, 2014 Excluding Alice (yes, I will continue to whine about this throughout the year), I currently have 2 hits and 11 points. So I need 6 more hits and 32 more points to do as good as my first season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I need 6 more hits and 32 more points to do as good as my first season. I promise not to taunt you about it. If you think I'm going to rabbit on and on about it, then you're wrong. And I'm sure if you still feel bad about it, over time you will find my posts to be a Wonderland of sympathy. Or a tea party of sympathy, if you like. And I'm sure the obit will come eventually, and by the time it's Christmas and everyone is singing Carrolls, you will be grinning like a Cheshire Cat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While he may be dead, I would dispute that that BBC report confirms Umarov's death; it merely repeats a reports from the Kavkaz Center. No confirmation from any other (mainstream) news source; Reuters can't confirm if, RIA can't confirm it. There is, unless I'm mistaken, no source other than the Kavkaz Center website.

If his own people are saying he's dead and BBC said he's dead, how is that not confirmation? Everyone took news reports as proof that OBL died, why not for some sweaty little OBL wannabe who spent all his time hiding out in abandoned warehouses and derelict train stations in the wastelands of some Russian province?

The BBC hasn't said he's dead. The BBC has said that his people say he's dead. Not the same as saying he's dead.The headline says 'dead', which is also not the same as dead.

Spade_Cooley 9,517 Posted March 25, 2014 There's been deaths a-plenty, it's just that none of the guys who are either a) notably ill/old (and thus Drop 40 picks) or insider favourites (and thus picks from DDP title hopefuls) have been popping off. The only picks from teams who finished top 20 last year to have died so far are Felix Glenny (three teams), Joe McGinness and Steve Evans (two teams each).

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted March 25, 2014 I was wondering would an audio obit count? There are a lot of people who are covered on The Last Word on Radio 4 who don't even make an obit on the BBC website. As you can get all previous editions on the website would you accept this in the place of a written obit? Every edition of that show has a web page naming them, and that is a BBC obit.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted March 28, 2014 The hilariously named team "Shame Thatcher Can't Die Twice" hasn't had a single hit yet. If we make it to April 8th (the 1 year anniversary of Thatcher's death) and they're still on zero I think perhaps the joke might be on them a little bit.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted March 28, 2014 What's the longest it's took for someone to get their firs hit? Um, well, many teams have finished the year on zero, obviously. That's an interesting question, though. MIB. do you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
