Toast 16,139 Posted June 2, 2017 You are going to start a separate thread for it, I hope. I recommend placemarking an early post for the Masterlist to be added later on, as Maryport does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That should be enough time to cobble something together for the grand opening just as the Cup finishes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,441 Posted June 2, 2017 Good luck, YW. On the other hand, I plan to put my feet up imminently, deadpooling wise, till mid-November when the first Crowdsourced lists arrive in my PM box! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro67 232 Posted July 17, 2017 An indication of how quiet it's been recently, Jokers, inverse and Hartlepool dead pools have all slipped to Page 2 of this forum. Some big departures must be due, me thinks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's not necessarily a quiet period for the DDP. If I had to guess, we got one already in the form of Smith Hart, and at least a couple of others on the way out, I reckon we could reach at least the average in this time frame...

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted October 11, 2017 Just letting you know I'll start working on the thread for the Deathrace in a couple of weeks and likely post it and open up for entries on or by 1 Nov Given the tonnage of deadpools hereabouts can I assume there'll be enough interest - i.e. about 12-20 teams - to make it worthwhile? Usual deal - teams of 20, points for every calendar day to go in the year when a pick dies, jokers, 18+ for team picks and fairly tolerant attitude to what exactly is a q/o and a full set of rules confirming all this so's everyone who can be arsed reading them is duly warned of what's going on. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,441 Posted October 11, 2017 Deathrace is one of the big 3 alongside the DDP and Hartlepool Deadlypool. Of course there'll be interest imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 24, 2017 DDP All of your chosen celebs must be: Human. No famous animals please. At least 18 years old as at 1st January 2018. (i.e. born before 01/01/2000) ----------------- Can't say I agree with this rule. We had this issue with Malala Youfsazi a couple years ago, who was 17 on Jan 1 but was clearly a murder target. We agreed the person would get no points until she turned 18. That seems a hell of a lot fairer than eliminating all people who are 18 the upcoming year. So if they were born on Jan 2 they would sit around for 364 days of valid age, but not allowed in DDP? Anyway, in my DP we adopted the 'Malala Rule' lol to cover this situation. Just thought I'd voice an alternative to the posted rule. I understand no changes will be made now or ever. SCreep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
