It's a trick to find an angle and its a valid route to get another few points. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 3, 2015 I will be opening a debate this year on changing the rules/points/eligibility etc for 2016's competition so we can all air our thoughts on this in due course... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 3, 2015 I will be opening a debate this year on changing the rules/points/eligibility etc for 2016's competition so we can all air our thoughts on this in due course... .... Puhleeeeeeease. I really like to think this competition, much like F1 10 years ago, is in pretty good shape, despite being dominated by an odious unlikable character. All this kind of "ooh, maybe this rule should be changed, ooh maybe we should give points for this or that" (like that utter shite about dates that no-one's died on yet) is the kind of bollocks you usually only see on the discussion forums of dying sports who have dwindling viewership and the die-hard fans are trying to throw all sorts of gimmicky bollocks against the wall to see what sticks. Sports like... er, y'know... F1 today. Or Mediterranean ballsack-stretching. Don't think Windsor really thought this would go anywhere....... there's nothing "wrong" about unique bonus at all. If anything should be changed its that obscure-hunting theme-teams shouldn't be able to have their "uniques" count and therefore knock proper regular teams out of having a unique. That's all I would ask for. I'm sure we will have the debate anyway cos these fings aren't up to me are they, juss sayin'........ and everyone likes Windsor or something.

BuriedInCarolina 46 Posted January 6, 2015 Will the death of Zsa Zsa's daughter finally put her over the edge? Does she has enough wits left about her to even know the daughter died? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2899182/Zsa-Zsa-Gabor-s-daughter-Francesca-Gabor-Hilton-dies-suddenly-67-sad-bitter-feud-ailing-actress-husband.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 11, 2015 Does anyone know if any teams have had any hits yet? Bound to be, apart from owt else Ms Ekberg will have had some support and anyone posting a team at the very last minute will doubtless have done what the late Deathrace entries did and snagged Little Jimmy Dickens.

Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted January 11, 2015 Does anyone know if any teams have had any hits yet? No, January's usually a pretty slow time in deadpooling, can't imagine anyone will have died in the first 11 days of the year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted January 11, 2015 Does anyone know if any teams have had any hits yet? Rod Taylor was in my theme team and I doubt he was a unique. I've seen Little Jimmy Dickens in a couple of signatures. Donna Douglas was possibly on some people's radar too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
