Eesti 151 Posted January 19, 2015 Eesti, entries closed at 1600 but I'm permitted you're time because fuck it Reserved for 2015 Masterlist Which I hope is some compensation for me ruling out the 18 and a half hour late Deathrace team (mainly because we'd already had some disagreements about whether to let in Estuarian Float's late arriving team and by the time Eesti's mob arrived the masterlist was done and dusted). Well. Fuck. I actually didn't even consider the possibilities that deadlines could be before the very last second of the year. That's why I posted my teams to Hare's Death Pool, Deathrace and Hartlepool Deadlypool so last minute. I believed that the deadline is 31st December 23:59. As I can see, I could have been fucked in two of them but thanks to Deathray I'm still 'in' Hare's Death Pool. Thanks again! Am I also ruled out from Hartlepool Deadlypool? About Deathrace - I can't see what kind of advantage I could gain with that 18 and a half hour. I also missed 2014. Sad to see that I have to wait for another year. Silly rules.

No, if you want in on the Hartlepool just stick your team in, bearing in mind that your picks have to remain alive for at least 36 hours before they are elliagable to score you points.

The whole point about closing entries a day early is to start Deathrace bang on the start of the year and have everything go live right away, masterlist (which I compile on New Years Eve) and all. That way the whole competition is out in plain sight when the deaths start and there's no arguments about anything underhand. And, this year and last, the point scoring deaths have started in the first couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,933 Posted February 18, 2015 Just to be clear I'm aware fuckers have died and ruined my happy do-fuck all approach to this deadpool, an update will be forthcoming at some point in the near future. In addition can a mod change this threads tagline to: "the most ineffcient deadpool of the lot" just so all contests are as clear as can be on the way this pool works. Thank you for bringing to attention these deaths though: I'll make sure to award points when I do the general check I'd planned tonight. EDIT: Thanks to the mod who serviced my request in a (ironically?) very efficient manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,933 Posted February 19, 2015 First mass google of the year done. Maths done by spreadsheet rather than me so should hopefully be more trustworthy than last years back of a crisp packet attempts: 6/234 have ceased to be so far. Little Jimmy Dickens demise on Jan 2 was worth a measly 1 points to Death Impends Ethel Langs demise on Jan 15 brought 14 points to Toast, mpfc, deadsox and the engineer Jerry Tarkanians demise on Feb 12 brought 41 points to Death Impends Louis Jordain's demise on Feb 14 brought 43 points to Eesti Pamella Cundells demise on Feb 14 brough 43 points to Shaun of the Dead Heinrich Windelins demise on Feb 15 brought 44 points to gcreptile Leaderboard gcreptile 44 points Shaun of the Dead 43 points Eesti 43 points Death Impends 42 points Toast 14 points mpfc 14 points deadsox 14 points the engineer 14 points Everyone else 0 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,662 Posted March 9, 2015 Did you actually get my entry because I just checked and I had Loius Jourdan and I had played my joker on Jeffrey Segal which I calculate gives me 117 points?

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted June 24, 2015 GOOD NEWS. An update will be completed by the end of this month. Respect Deathray, I appreciate the effort. One thing I (usually) like about the Deathrace is that it's over and done in a few months, your willingness to put in 12 months solid graft is recognised by a fellow traveller. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
