The Generation Game

[Sean 6,339]

If there is no deadline, when is the start line? Otherwise, how can someone die before the game started, as it technically started with your opening post.

de Jong died three days before the game started so I didnt feel it right to take the points.I never specified what would happen in such a case so I am using my discretion and setting a precedent.

[Sean 6,339]

The game was live from the time of first post.

Bobbie will get a qo, won't she? I'll be really angry if she does not.

[msc 18,489]

I am glad this game exists as it is fairly close to my Wipeout idea, and therefore I don't need to run it!

I really have to finish updating my longlist to my newly acquired Excel skills, to field a team for this before Michael of Romania dies.

It looks as if it paid off to delay bedtime yesterday by almost two hours to finish updating my list. It must have been a matter of hours.

 

There are reports that his family already believed Hanif Mohammad to be dead, but he was still breathing and had very low pulse.These false death reports entered the press about 12 hours ago. He seems to have died just a couple of hours later. There might a bit of news delay but I'm ..probably... on the safe side.

 

Anyway, this game is not about the fastest deaths but about the "least slow" death. I mean, this compeititon could last decades.

If Shaun dies before the game ends is it Null and Void?

 

However he is much younger than me so that is probably academic.

Are you likely to get an obit?

Regarding subs. Can you forbid them completely please. Those chomping for one now should have considered obit chances before submission
