Death Impends 8,052 Posted January 14, 2018 Manikan was one of various names I considered for Deathrace purposes but heaved to the side. It's really not my Deathrace season this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's really not my Deathrace season this year Honestly, I had a similar experience with him as well. I considered Manikan for deathrace, but I pushed him away because I thought he could last past the deathrace end date. Oh how wrong was I... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,942 Posted January 17, 2018 Bloody hell. Getting extremely busy extremely early in the year in here isn't it. Half a dozen or so hits half way through January? Thankfully, for now anyway, mine are all still breathing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, you could have had a unique there. But a January expiry helps no-one in this game.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably why no-one picked it. People who've been in a nursing home a few years have already run up most of the clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 22, 2018 I think that makes it six teams who are Cryne, Cryin', Cryyyyyying...now that Patrick has gone so early. More POINTS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 22, 2018 An early reminder for next year...this isn't the Deathrace! Anyhow, Connie has died...sorry, I don't recognise you, I must have Saw-yer in something....so a few teams gain POINTS! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 24, 2018 Is there a day goes by the Reaper isn't hitting this Pool? You really should be aiming for people who die later than the fall...not members of The Fall. Two teams whack some minor points on... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 27, 2018 Yeah, so there are the standings above. I make that 10 teams who have yet to score. And so we move inexorably towards February, which I'm hoping will be quieter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,942 Posted January 27, 2018 This time of year is when you feel relieved not to have scored in this pool, let's see that turn to utter panic in a few months. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 30, 2018 Four teams thought that currying favour with a referee would help them massively here. Alcock's death proves them WRONG. Points! (Futher update to follow). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,251 Posted January 30, 2018 Three teams were going to Saint Francisco by picking the oldest man. Now they will have to ask directions to Amarillo....or perhaps San Jose..... Points! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
