Does deleting my pm to you help you clear room Maryport?

Does deleting my pm to you help you clear room Maryport?

 

 

Yeah, but it doesn't help using that information to put the masterlist together.

Shit. I think I accidentally deleted the PM

[Joey Russ 7,228]

Luckily I did rip your team before packing it in for the night because rule 12 forbids editing and there's been some abuse heaped on Morbidkid for such an attempt and - in any case - that second team is THREE MINUTES past the deadline (I can hear a mob baying "Burn the witch!!")

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

REET GANG

 

Despite confident expectations discussed earlier on this thread of 15-20 teams we have 34 entrants and the most diverse masterlist ever (which will be posted tomorrow)

 

So, there's every chance of ducking and diving as the infirm cases surge ahead before the executions kick in and local knowledge displayed by a number of entrants leads to local obits all over the English speaking world.

 

Granted, the first and most taxing jobs are getting this all in order and asserting that everyone on the 11 page masterlist is still fit for competition by way of something approaching a pulse.

 

Oh aye, and we're - near enough - guaranteed a new champion in the absence of DDT defending the title.

[Youwanticewiththat 611]

Thanks Mary for organising all this!

Re everyone fit for service - looks like we can rule out Huston Smith (meaning S-o-t-D fields a third sub). He may want to post a fourth sub hereabotus just in case his team suffer another premature ejection.

I may take the liberty of sharing a few other hands tomorrow - since there are a load of obscure picks in there I'm guessing this pool will turn out quite lively as self-interest prompts trawling of local papers and the like.

Accept it if you wish. It ain't midnight unless your in Turkey or summat. Not sure why polls would be closed 1:20pm CST

Tis an established tradition the entry period for Deathrace ends on midnight UK time Dec 30, so once it's already the 31st in UK time you're outta luck

Death Impends is correct. Read the first post in this thread.

 

It is also something of a tradition that one or two of those not paying full attention are barred from entry because they fail to clock that entries close at midnight on 30 December.

The tradition continues.

Masterlist loaded and PM boxes cleared - let battle commence, or summat. Probably the first and most important job is to make sure all these marginal picks are still alive. Any assistance by way of locating a local obit etc. would be appreciated.
