Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 23, 2016 Current or retired, so they should be ok. Yes as long as they have sat in the House of Lords during their career. The problem comes with heredity peers as whether they sat before or after they inherited the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 23, 2016 I tried to send something but I got an error saying Bibliogryphon cannot receive any new messages. I take it your inbox is full? Sorry about that.

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 24, 2016 Entries end a week today. Don't get caught out in the Midsummer Deathslam stampede get those entries in early. Especially if I have to reject your picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 24, 2016 I'm still intending on entering, done most of my research, just narrowing it down to the chosen few. Burt Kwouk just walked out of the running for a spot on my 'People Who've Appeared in Doctor Who' picks (Four to Doomsday, 1982), which is annoying. Still, plenty more to choose from... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes two other players had to make a Kwouk change as well. I had actually forgotten he had been in DW until the entries came in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted May 26, 2016 I have just realised this game is virtually the Deathlist equivalent of Pointless. Only if we have a hundred people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 27, 2016 Right peoples. I will probably not be back on the site until Tuesday lunchtime when I am hoping any last minute entries will be in so we can get everything in line for the start on 01st June. Remember you may need to find some replacements if I reject any of your picks. Have a good weekend, unless you are spending it trawling through the internet researching these five topics.

CaptainChorizo 1,985 Posted May 27, 2016 For the Us elections question does it have to be general election candidates or does it include failed primary candidates as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted May 28, 2016 For the Us elections question does it have to be general election candidates or does it include failed primary candidates as well? Only General Election candidates but not just the two major parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted May 28, 2016 I probably should have asked this before submitting, but does joining in this game mean we have to join in every game or can we opt out of a game if we don't like the categories and have a go at the next one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing to compel you to join a game and new players would be welcomed each time the categories change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted June 2, 2016 OK This is how the scoreboard will appear. Each player has five digits after their name and abbreviation these correspond to each category Doctor Who/Lords/US Elections/Test Cricketers/No.1 UK Singles If a player scores a hit then one of the numbers will change. If the player scores a unique hit the colour of the whole entry will change Black = 0, Green = 1, Orange = 2 and if they get three they win.

There are lots of unique picks and lots of ones that might slip under the radar if we are not careful. Anyone who i have had to go back to has also been very understanding about why I have questioned their picks. GAME ON!!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
