Toast 16,140 Posted November 18, 2017 Will the Theme Team League be updated any time soon? I respectfully ask because my team (Losing The Plot) still shows 4 hits, while Malcolm Young has just brought the score to 8. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 22, 2017 I don't think I agree with the procedure of waiting for a QO before you strikethrough the dead celebrity's name on a team's roster. The person is deceased, and should be crossed, as to avoid confusion, imho. The QO is altogether another matter apart from the person's life or death. Just thought I'd throw it out there. No big deal. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted November 22, 2017 I disagree with you Sir Creep. I think that it would make it more confusing tbh. Let’s say I was randomly looking through the leaderboard and stumbled across Day In The Death. I look at that team but noticed a strike through on the joker, but he didn’t obit. Then I would be very confused on why someone who got a strike through wasn’t on the list of people who scored. That’s why I think it’s confusing... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted November 22, 2017 I'm with Joey on this one. The crossing off of a name is supposed to indicate that they are a hit for someone, not that they died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,972 Posted November 22, 2017 As I suspected a while ago, my main team is now the highest-scoring team of the 2nd half of the year (unless I'm terribly wrong). It made 50pts in that time. Spade is 2nd, by the way, with 45pts. Does that mean anything? I guess not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call me a pedant (OK - don't) The BBC source said "Rangers wearing black armbands to mark the passing of Billy Simpson." but nowhere did it mentioned he had DIED. To win points, there must be the mention of a celebrity's death on a national online news source. Is a running commentary on a football match a NEWS SOURCE???

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 5, 2017 I would guess by the wording of the above it does state of his passing, which shows a mention of his death I think. Anyways, even so, Les Mutrie's mention of death was much more explicit anyways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
