Bibliogryphon 8,617 Posted December 21, 2020 Toughie. He did not get a BBC Obit (See rules on page 1) but did get an NYT one. As no obit was published and claimed a new round did not technically start. Both Book and Myself have skin in the game on this ruling so I think we should appeal to @Sean for a game runner opinion. I will loosen the obit rules for the 20/20 + 1 game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,617 Posted December 23, 2020 You may have seen I have launched 20/20 +1 in another thread but there will be one last game to play on here before the thread fades into obscurity. After Book is declared a winner players can pick any person who has been previously picked for the year 1920 that they think will survive the longest and the last one standing wins the game. Picks not made till Jan 1st and it is first come first served. There are only a few names. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picks not made till Jan 1st and it is first come first served. There are only a few names. To make this easier on you I have done a trawal and I think there are 20 names. 1. Norma Barzman. 2. Eileen Bennett. 3. Gottfried Bohm. 4. Clarissa Eden 5. Ben Ferencz. 6. Edmond H. Fischer 7. Ann Fortune Fitzroy 8. Loretta Ford. 9. Anna Halprin. 10. Gail Halvorsen. 11. Mollie Lentaigne. 12. Dominique Marcas 13. Captain Tom Moore 14. Laurent Noel 15. Bill Pitman 16. Michael Shaw 17. George Shultz 18. Neal Edward Smith 19. Paula Stafford 20. Arnold Yarrow To avoid people hanging about at midnight on NYE I will say that as a prize for their sterling playing of the 20/20 game (assuming they are still winning in 8 days time) then @Book will get the first pick. Once Book has made their selection then it will be a free for all. If anyone thinks I have missed someone let me know. Merry Christmas 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,361 Posted December 26, 2020 A bit surprised Blake's death was acknowledged immediately, after my past experiences with Morton Sobell. Blake even died exactly two years after Sobell, oddly enough. 1920 - Bill Pitman, Mollie Lentaigne 1921 - Philippe de Gaulle, Francoise Gilot 1922 - Ray Anthony, Qin Yi 1923 - Vic Seixas, Gloria Henry 1924 - Johnny Gilbert, Maria Riva 1925 - Mahathir Mohamad, June Lockhart 1926 - Robert Clary, Ann Turner Cook 1927 - Harry Whittington, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - Hans Kung, Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 - Gaston Glock, Vera Miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
