Toast 16,249 Posted January 1, 2017 I'm guessing you're still working on adding the team initials, MPFC, but one of my picks (Pete Murray) seems to be missing from the masterlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put me right if you have to but...I'm assuming the second one - and also assuming you'd go that route on Deathrace because the QO would appear for sure.

maryportfuncity 10,706 Posted January 3, 2017 Is it really the case that we're into the third day with no score Man, I had high hopes for some of the tardy low-hangers on the list. Work with me on this - there are no local obits/ trade paper write ups etc. lurking anywhere that'd get someone on the scoreboard, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,619 Posted January 3, 2017 Well, a few might have died and it went unannounced so far. I try to check the Facebook pages of relatives of two of my low hanging fruit, Alan Aspin and Sara Hankins, many times a day, to see if they've croaked. So far no, but last time I checked was yesterday afternoon, and I won't check again until after school today because I'm on mobile now and don't feel like it. Other than that, I often type in other people's names in the search engine and click "News". So far, all of mine are alive it seems. But again, it's been maybe 12 hours since I last checked, and that's a loooong time for these ill people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,565 Posted January 3, 2017 Ah cool, practically 18% of the way to a winner already. And with joker points still waiting on Mario Soares, who must surely be going shortly. Coward, Elias, Hankins, Lakovic, and Sumner were also picked for their days and weeks not months prognosis, so may come good. Anna Holmlund will either be a hit for the Deathrace, or recover, and Nevin/Mcgill/Laws/Downie/Byland are in injury time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
