YoungWillz 19,029 Posted April 6, 2017 Not been a hit here in ages. Then Don Rickles dies and turns out he might have been a first hit for ImNotHades, if only he had been in the main team and not a sub. Still waiting then... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,029 Posted April 15, 2017 It's the old old story of the day with several teams hitting hard with Emma Morano. Joey Russ' second hit in as many days puts him top of the leaderboard again for now... Meantime drol is the only scorer with Clifton James and cops a bunch of points for him. Full leaderboard at the end of the week....so keep hitting folks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted May 6, 2017 Ah, so I'm no longer in the lead at the moment. Oh well. Let me note, however, that I'm only 13 points behind him with only 6 hits (currently, some will certainly die), while he's in the lead with 7. Just a thought.

msc 17,759 Posted May 6, 2017 Strikes me here that in theory I picked the wrong wildcard. Simon Ricketts. Doing OK for now, likely a survivor into 2018. However, if he was to go in, say, December, it could be a crucial hit. Although Sir Creep's joker will go this year, but is hanging on for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,029 Posted May 19, 2017 Nice to see me gaining ground. Still nothing in it really. We are one update (assuming enough deaths) before the halfway point of the year. The second half as always will be crucial when the chunkier points are picked up, so there is hope for everyone in this game. Keep the faith! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,759 Posted May 19, 2017 Long way to go yet, could see the lead changing a number of times. ImNotHades is favourite for me. They are waiting till Christmas for their entire team to die, imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 19,029 Posted May 20, 2017 I'm not really a "fun stats" person, but hey ho. Ok, round about the same time last year, which was a vintage year as we all recall, we had 17 teams scoring thus: 4 teams had 500+ points (2017 - 1 team) 2 teams had 400+ points (2017 - 1 team) 6 teams had 300+ points (2017 - 2 teams) 2 teams had 200+ points (2017 - 8 teams) 2 teams had 100+ points (2017 - 7 teams) 1 team had 1+ points (2017 - 3 teams) All teams had scored in 2016 - still 2 non-scoring teams this year. gcreptile as the eventual winner with a record score was doing relatively poorly, with 6 hits but only falling in the 200+ points category. Sir Creep was top of the tree this time in 2016, but had a bad second half and only jumped up to second place with a very late hit. Also there was a fair spread of scoring with distance between each player for the most part. This year, as you can see, there are tight bunches where each player is only separated by a point or two. What does this say about the second half of 2017? Absolutely nothing! Edit: Although it won't be exact, I'll do an individual comparison in the next update to show how each player is doing relative to last year, assuming they entered.
