gcreptile 10,978 Posted January 15, 2017 So far, a repeat of last year. Again, my Hare's Deadpool team is doing better than my Deathrace team. Three hits already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,055 Posted January 15, 2017 3 teams pot their Joker early with Jimmy Snuka's demise, including yours truly. We now have 14 scoring teams by mid-January out of 24 teams. And there is a huge amount of the year to go. Next leaderboard at the end of the month or when someone gets five hits, whichever is sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I've been pushed out of the dressing room onto the track by the PE teacher with my shorts half up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted January 27, 2017 Billy Simpson, ex-Rangers, dead. Picked on a tip from Charon, I assume if a blog was OK for points for Bob Dorr last year, then the Daily Record is OK for Simpson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I'm aware no death has resulted in a lack of QO in this game yet, so the rules clearly do what they intended to do; i.e qualify any of even remote fame.
