YoungWillz 21,057 Posted March 9, 2015 I'm hoping to go the longest without a hit. Maybe all mine will be December hits, like the Spice Girls or Band Aid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm curious to see how my position changes after Sam Simon's death. Currently I'm joint 123rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted March 10, 2015 Considering he was #2 on the Drop 40, you'll probably move up to joint 121st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted March 13, 2015 Simon and Pratchett make two relatively young scorers in a couple of days for my team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted March 13, 2015 And Simon makes the only scorer so far for mine, but he was just the right side of 60 and is my joker, so not such a bad start, then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted March 13, 2015 And Simon makes the only scorer so far for mine, but he was just the right side of 60 and is my joker, so not such a bad start, then. Can't really call this the start. More importantly my shadow list is beating deathlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted March 13, 2015 I know this is a big, big, BIG discussion that can't be solved within a few posts on a message board, but being as the DDP site is, as we can all agree, what happens when a website is set up for a fun game between a few friends in Derby and then 20 years later has 400 competitors... is there something to be said for converting the site into a wiki? Each celebrity and team would be an individual page, which would mean formatting of the teams and celebrity lists would be done automatically and there'd be no need for a process of copy/paste/copy/paste.

Phantom 2,533 Posted March 13, 2015 And Simon makes the only scorer so far for mine, but he was just the right side of 60 and is my joker, so not such a bad start, then. You'll leapfrog over me, I'll be on 14 points after Simon's points get added in. I'm hoping to improve on my dismal performance last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted March 13, 2015 Just checked the points tallies. I got 4 in total for Kervorkian Clinic last year which is easily eclipsed by this years offerings of 28 points Should bump me up to somewhere slightly more respectable than joint 174th.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted March 15, 2015 Having my biggest hit this early in the year feels odd, like premature ejaculation or something =/ Also, lol @ all the teams now on 18 points 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,978 Posted March 15, 2015 I really should have made Sam my Joker. I mean, how much better could it be? He was in the third-best age bracket and with a 100% chance dead before 2016. It's the difference between 5th place and 24th. Though generally, I am satisfied with my picks. My first attempt at this was a bit rushed, I think I can do better next year.

Phantom 2,533 Posted March 15, 2015 Considering he was #2 on the Drop 40, you'll probably move up to joint 121st. It was close, Joint 119th. Although that could change once points for Pratchett are added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,057 Posted March 15, 2015 Starting to warm up now isn't it? Colder than Bobbi Kristina's chances of waking up for me personally, but always happy to help other teams out. It's a definite points fest this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
