Deathray 2,940 Posted January 23, 2017 Any objections if I run with the A's. Doing them in that google doc, so if anyone wants to assist/question feel free. Hold your horses, TUM has contributed to that letter, but not all of them... Aah, K. Any gaps in the roster so I'm not overlapping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 24, 2017 Well then, it appears that I am in the lead with 43 points thanks to Sims (12 x 2), McGiffin (9), and already having had Snuka (10) in the last update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,972 Posted January 24, 2017 I could solve the riddle why "Instagram star with cancer" Cheyann Shaw/Clark appears under two names in my list, Cheyann Shaw and Cheyann Clark. It's because she appears with both names in different articles: http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellbeing/fitness/a-23yearold-bodybuilder-is-being-ravaged-by-ovarian-cancer--and-instagramming-it-all-20161221-gtg7s4.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3998358/Bikini-model-Cheyann-Clark-shares-brave-photos-cancer-stricken-body.html She's picked under both names in the DDP, both times unique - but not so unique after all!

Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 24, 2017 Bold move saying Wetton won't die. Although I suspect that's more of you hoping than actually predicting he won't die lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a long-standing flaw. I thought TMIB had fixed it a while back, there's really no reason why the rules shouldn't appear permanently on that page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
