Death Impends 7,957 Posted January 16, 2017 Couple more spots: Matt Greenwood, bucket list cancer student who was a pick for Finding Chemo, died mid-December. CaptainChorizo's theme team Gene Wilder Memorial Deathsquad seems to be another team with a missing name, Barbara Jefford is listed as his pick 20 when he posted his teams on forum, but I don't see her listed on the DDP.

machotrouts 828 Posted January 17, 2017 I see the Ivana/Ivanka mix-up has already been mentioned in this thread (my Big Brother-themed team 'Unpersons' has Ivanka in it when it should be her mum Ivana). One other possible issue: Marco Pierre White Jr has been entered as just Marco Pierre White. To clarify, my pick is the Big Brother housemate, not his dad the famous chef. Also, not that it really matters, but Avicii has been entered on my '#1 Hits' team as "Tim Berling" when his real name appears to be "Tim Bergling". (I wouldn't have recognised the name either way – had to Google it because I thought my team had a mystery intruder – but I gather the database gets a bit tetchy about mononyms) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Going Underground 74 Posted January 17, 2017 I've just realised there are 2 Sonny West's. Sonny West is my only unique pick. TMIB - Just to clarify, mine is the Sonny West who was friend and bodyguard of Elvis Presley and NOT the Sonny West who wrote a couple of Buddy Holly's hits. The songwriter Sonny is 80 years old, so he may go first but so be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 19, 2017 There's been a bit of a shake up with the Webmail. Madasafish has been replaced by Plusnet bu the account remains intact (sort of). Hopefully the interface will be a lot better as during the nomination period I had to re-direct emails to Outlook as the old Madasafish web server was soooooooooooooooooo slow. However, although I can locate the folder, the actual emails with all the entries for DDP 2017 have disappeared! As such, with one exception, there will be no added teams and anyone who weren't able to send a team, or I have missed out on entering for one reason or another will have to wait until next year....Sorry! EDIT: Just realised that the emails are there as I only moved the entries to another folder on Outlook, so they're safe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted January 19, 2017 Those DDP heavyweights Captain Hemlocks Twenty and Dead Last? Dead Right! atop the league table as usual! Meanwhile Spade, DI and, err, me are outside the top 100.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 19, 2017 I like the new symbol change to the unique picks. I noticed that while checking to see if Wayne Barret was back on, and there he was, right next to that new unique symbol thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which in turns reminds me of the surprisingly long time Crazycarl was joint lead in the 2015 DDP. Think it took Ion Trewin in April to begin his descent.
