gcreptile 10,970 Posted December 6, 2016 Ron Anderson a hit for me: http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/article97518572.html This one was it. Apparently died on August, 24th, 237pts.

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 6, 2016 Ron Anderson a hit for me: http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/article97518572.html This one was it. So August 24th? I'll update the leaderboard above. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, it doesn't even change that much, as the death of either Glen Campbell, Sumner Redstone or Geoffrey Bayldon (all good choices!) still give the victory to either MPFC, DI, or Toast.

Anything could happen between now and the end of the year. Still plenty of jokers out there and of course the December 31 bonus. If I get my joker and six others to die on that date, I'm unbeatable!

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 6, 2016 Can we start PM new entries to you? Sure thing. Be sure to have plenty of subs available in case of celebrity genocide and don't forget to specify your Wildcard. Oh, and I'll be a little less forgiving on the celebrity rule. I'll be sure to ask you to reconsider if I think your entry doesn't meet the celebrity requirement. I think Deathray may have let Louise Sherry through in a fit of Christmas goodwill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 6, 2016 Oh, and I suppose I should put my list together in case anyone accuses me of assembling a dream team from entrants' picks. I'll post it shortly. Ah, the onerous nature of this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 11, 2016 Boutros Boutros-Ghali is my fifth hit, lol... 47 pts.... I think my five hits are worth about 130pts all together... So how the hell you got 2200 unless the other 8 all died since October? My Joker died in October that's a pretty good call. Looks like I gotta hope the conjoined twins die on Christmas lol.
